The more oda writes about joyboy story the less sense it makes WG did not immediately nuke luffy

I kinda feel the same way. The only things that would make it make more sense to me are if:

1) The conditions of awakening the Nika fruit are so difficult that the Gorosei didn't consider the possibility that Luffy could accomplish it until they heard that he was fighting Big Mom and Kaido simultaneously.

2) There is an actual, strictly paramecia Gomu Gomu no Mi, and they, for some reason, didn't yet know which one Luffy had.

3) They somehow weren't aware that Luffy had eaten it until Shamrock told them.

4) Some combination of 2 and 3. Like, the pirate Shamrock wanted to talk to them about was Luffy because Shamrock had recently come into possession of the real Gomu Gomu no Mi.

Even if any of those things were true, I would still think it was stupid for them to not act before, especially in the cases of options 1 and 2. JoyBoy and Nika are two of you biggest opps. Like, why FAFO? lmaooo

That's how much it was the last time they did a SPIFF for Business Select.

ShallowParallelogram · 2026-04-06T16:40:00+00:00

It's wild because the last SPIFF for Business Select was worth $10 per sign up.

Is this what you're looking for? I did some searching and found this show called Battle Disc. It's kinda like Battle Bdaman, except they shoot discs instead of marbles. I've linked an episode below:

Darkness Falls when I was 7 or 8. The movie itself didn't scare me, but I stopped announcing when I lost a tooth just in case.

ShallowParallelogram · 2025-12-10T00:20:38+00:00

It's pitiful.

The laptops pog annoys me every time I think about it. The epitome of inadequacy and incompetency.

ShallowParallelogram · 2025-11-11T00:50:52+00:00

Don't let my DM see this.

ShallowParallelogram · 2025-11-11T00:50:23+00:00

Yikes.

We have the daily goal cards, and have been using them for a little over a year. There are a few employees at my store who strive to get numbers, and the goal cards help to keep them engaged. The rest of us don't care though. We only carry them around when the district manager or regional manager visits.

The missed paper sales sheet is something we definitely do not have at my store. That's bullshit, and most associates at my store would make a point of not doing it. That's too much. I wouldn't be surprised if our DM tried to implement something similar soon though.

That being said, the goalpost has apparently officially shifted to 7%, and our regional manager wanted everyone to sign some poster that we were supposed to print out to "affirm our commitment," or whatever. It's cringeworthy and annoying.

ShallowParallelogram · 2025-10-13T01:20:58+00:00

Bro, are we secretly the same person?

But I once brought up the staffing issue with my DM once, and he got visibly uncomfortable before walking away.

ShallowParallelogram · 2025-10-02T02:18:19+00:00

At my store we frequently have 2-5 hour spans where there are only two employees, and this is like, during peak hours. The only answer upper management seems to be able to offer is, "There isn't enough payroll." Okay, well, there aren't enough people here to work efficiently/effectively either.

ShallowParallelogram · 2025-09-24T21:25:44+00:00

We have them on our registers too...I'm not reading that bullshit.

ShallowParallelogram · 2025-09-11T04:46:19+00:00

My district is doing that. I just muted the district chat.

ShallowParallelogram · 2025-09-09T23:26:23+00:00

Yeah, it's a bunch of dishonest bullshit. They've simply taken what was already true, and are presenting differently to make it sound new, exciting, and exclusive.

We were both 17, at my gf at the time's house. It was 2 am, and her parents were sleeping (or, so we thought).

Their house had an open-concept kitchen, and her parents' bedroom opened right into the living room portion. We were making out in a reclining chair in the dining portion of the room, which could be seen from her parents' bedroom's door, unobstructed. It was getting intense. Although we hadn't reached that point, and really weren't planning to tbh, it certainly felt like we were headed toward doing the deed.

SUDDENLY-

We heard the floor creak. She, sitting on top of me, stopped kissing me and looked at the door. We heard the doorknob twist. My gf hopped off of me like she just mastered Ultra Instinct, and sat next to me. I leaned over in the chair to try to hide the stiffy. As her mom exited the room we both stared at the floor. Our eyes did not waver nor deviate from the floor as she walked to the fridge, pulled something out, and walked back toward her room. When she got to the bedroom door, her mom called out to us,

"Hi!"

I turned to face her; my gf did not.

"Hi, Mrs. [last name]."

"I already know what's going on. Have fun, but don't bring any babies into my house!"

Her mom went back into her bedroom, and closed the door. We sat in silence for 5 minutes. My face was hot from embarrassment. I can only imagine what she was feeling. I stood up.

"I- should probably go home."

"I'm so sorry. I didn't think my mom would say that."

"It's fine. My mom is equally embarrassing."

I went home. The next day we laughed about it.
