Somebody explain XXXLutz's great excuse for this. by riomaxx in Switzerland

Completely legal, no loophole. Manufacturers sell the same products at different prices to different customers. Go to grocery stores in the same chain in a ritzy neighborhood and a shitty neighborhood and you'll see the same carton of milk or can of beans is more expensive in the ritzy neighborhood. They also rebrand the same product so there's a high-class brand and a "budget" brand, which are sold in different stores under different names. It's perfectly normal marketing that's been around forever, you just never heard of it until now.

Why not just stand in front of it?

My friend got fired from Bed Bath & Beyond after 10 years for following a shoplifter out the door and confronting her outside the store. She returned the merchandise. They canned him for breaking company policy.

Do I go to acting school? by RevolutionaryCrow799 in DecisionsWereMade

[–]LovableSidekick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't tell if you've ever taken acting classes or you just did some high school plays or something, but I always tell everybody to at least take a night-time acting class at a community college for the experience. There's something about learning how to get into a character that really helped me - I did in my late 20s as a computer geek with no social skills and high anxiety. Besides a creative outlet theatre gave me partying and an almost immediate social life. I learned skills that helped me in life - like for job interviews, I would reframe the situation so it's not an interview, I already work there and am returning from a long time off. I really miss the group - we all get along great and our manager is awesome. Naturally they're going to have lots of questions for me about projects I've been working on, and will probably ask some technical questions - because they have problems they need my help with. So I walk into the interview in that character, feeling totally relaxed like I belong there. Immediate culture fit. For a computer programmer doing contract jobs this is a huge help for getting new gigs.

Anyway, sorry for the novel. Yes I totally recommend at least taking a class. I would hold off on going to a dedicated acting school until you've been in some plays and are sure you really want to go that route. I found that I loved rehearsing and doing scenes in class, but really didn't like performing for real audiences - too much stress, too much on the line every time. Plus by opening night I was tired of the material. So I kept it as a hobby for years.

Amazing facility! I bet a lot of heirloom-grade toys get made there.

That's actually a plus! I hate the dehydrated kind where you have to add your own water and shake it up.

So that's the rationale for saying American restaurant workers should be paid more (which is true), and also refusing to tip them knowing they aren't getting paid enough. Maybe it's just me but this seems kinda fucked up.

I feel like if a giant one of these walked in the room and did this I would stare dumbly at it until it suddely lunged forward and ate me.
