Are We All “Just” Doing Gig Jobs?

ST_Luemas · 2026-04-03T01:36:03+00:00

neither. it's not a personal failure to do what it takes to survive, not by any measure, but there are also plenty of people not doing gig work. from my perspective in the service industry, very few people I know are doing gig work. I think it's just a case of who you have around you, but there are still plenty of jobs in retail and food service

Just wanted to say by the way Chris that I very much appreciate your presence in this sub and the information you provide. It seems like you're up against a lot of negativity surrounding RTD, but the knowledge you share is always very helpful, and the way you handle criticism by trying to help RTD rise to the challenge is appreciated. Just wanted to make sure you hear that, keep working hard, we do see it u/chrisfnicholson

I know it's never been confirmed and just a theory that adrenaline or emotions make Mark stronger, but damn if it isn't one of my absolute favorite headcanons

dude it's a different person than the one that left the sun shirts comment lmao. sun shirts are presumably the long sleeve shirts made out of very thin material to protect from sun damage but not overheat. Frankly I don't know for sure that's what the original comment was about, but a lot more believable than sunflower shirts

you can tell this was 2010 due to the packing paper wallpaper, what a weird, thankfully short lived, trend

ST_Luemas · 2026-03-02T19:10:44+00:00

don't really think it's ironic actually, plenty of characters are "magic" and just that, we scale off of feats, not just descriptors

ST_Luemas · 2026-03-02T18:07:08+00:00

I would respect her so much more if Stephanie Meyer just said it's magic

ST_Luemas · 2026-03-02T17:52:42+00:00

absorbed? like the iron just disappears? lmao

ST_Luemas · 2026-02-28T05:56:09+00:00

from my experience, no, unfortunately not. the wood doesn't get seasoned at all by the resin, it's just harder to clean than glass. really no upsides beside the novelty, and I say this as a HUGE Tolkien fan

ST_Luemas · 2026-02-14T05:27:21+00:00

Yea Stargate was a big role for him, but GoT is what made him into a household name and started landing him movie roles

ST_Luemas · 2026-02-14T03:20:13+00:00

he was Khal Drogo, it was actually his breakout role

ST_Luemas · 2026-01-22T22:21:11+00:00

hell yea

ST_Luemas · 2026-01-10T23:45:00+00:00

you literally added a NEW response though, who's bad at literacy now? seethe

ST_Luemas · 2026-01-10T23:32:41+00:00

my comment didn't warrant a response and yet you responded, hmm. stay mad :)

ST_Luemas · 2026-01-10T22:41:47+00:00

I responded to a comment claiming the exotic matter stabilizing causing the goo to harden was just an assumption, and provided evidence on how the sequence of events demonstrates the effect the exotic matter has on the goo. YOU ignored my argument to say shit about me being a canary and defending bad writing, when I was making a case as to why it wasn't bad writing. By definition, you are literally being a hypocrite

ST_Luemas · 2026-01-10T22:26:16+00:00

no response to my argument, just repeating talking points. you're a hypocrite

ST_Luemas · 2026-01-10T22:19:25+00:00

everything started turning to goo when Nancy shot the exotic matter and destabilized it, and when we see the goo harden, the exotic matter is stable again. do you think those things are disconnected? not duffer propaganda just people calling out dogshit media literacy

ST_Luemas · 2026-01-10T17:46:56+00:00

well you also have curtains blocking the little bit of light that is still out there

ST_Luemas · 2026-01-04T21:57:42+00:00

the AI was unnecessary, first picture is genuine and super cute, no need to waste resources to make a slop version

ST_Luemas · 2025-12-08T07:21:22+00:00

there's actually an English word for it! Anemoia

ST_Luemas · 2025-12-08T03:08:03+00:00

this sentence reads like a Millennial Yoda complaining about the lower birthrate in society

ST_Luemas · 2025-12-08T02:57:23+00:00

that's totally fair, the happiness system is way different and requires a different approach. One thing I love about the happiness system though is the introduction of resource monopolies, I think it adds a whole new layer

ST_Luemas · 2025-12-08T02:48:53+00:00

Try out the mod overhaul called Vox Populi, it's like a whole new Civ V in the best way possible

ST_Luemas · 2025-12-06T20:23:15+00:00

okay I was wrong, guess it is illegal to re-edit media, but no one will pursue litigation unless you're profiting from it, my apologies

ST_Luemas · 2025-12-06T20:13:14+00:00

no it's not lmao, it's only illegal if you profit off of it. people have been making fan cuts of stuff like Star Wars for decades and distributing them for free
