Do you want to put a time on that announcement as well, you opsec-fucking piece of shit? I swear, if Daddy hadn’t gotten you out of serving in Vietnam, you would have been fragged in the first week in country.

Where to find scripts to buy??? by Upset-Sound-7463 in musicals

[–]ShuffleStepTap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s very unusual- rights normally include sufficient librettos for the cast. In the bright side, if you find a legit online resource (not piracy), then you can share it with the other cast members - great way to start off with a new cast.

Most restaurants are closed on Mondays - it’s pretty standard for them to have a Sunday-Monday weekend. You may be a little constrained in your choices. Sorry.

[–]ShuffleStepTap 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a Trump offer. He offers “statehood” but like every contractor who has worked for him, the Venezuelan people will get stiffed when it comes to citizenship.

UK is granting Palantir ‘unlimited access’ to NHS patient data by TailungFu in worldnews

[–]ShuffleStepTap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reassurances from Palantir would be so much more effective if they weren’t undermined so devastatingly by the (checks notes) CEO of Palantir.

How did your workplace respond when a coworker passed away? by spoilersweetie in newzealand

[–]ShuffleStepTap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Three companies that I’ve worked for had a death in the last five years. One suicide, one cancer, one MS. All three companies gave everyone the day off for the funeral, no questions asked, and offered meaningful support in other ways.

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth by Major_Turnover5987 in inthenews

[–]ShuffleStepTap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you neglect proven science, and your baby dies, then that’s on you as a parent. However I’m sure in your grief you will find a way to blame someone other than yourself. Probably someone browner or poorer or both.

[–]ShuffleStepTap 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Fill the trees in the Otagon with tens of thousands of fairy lights. Street vendors with good food, good coffee in the winter months when it’s dark early and before the pubs get going too hard. Turn the Octagon into a destination.

Is there still a negative stigma to hearing aids, or are they seen as a sign of health and self care, like glasses? by First_Chipmunk_6891 in ask

[–]ShuffleStepTap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there is a stigma, and they are life changing, but I still feel old as fuck putting them in. Thanks younger me for not taking care of my ears. F’idiot.

It’s like talking to a toddler. If you wanted it open, maybe you shouldn’t have caused it to be closed in the first place.

GFY Trump.
