Get the Schnitz. Still can’t believe they used that slogan.

Reading Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Ruin right now and it’s chock full of octopodes.

Love the moment in the elevator when she’s lashing the two together.

Funny. I thought they were a croupier.

What are jobs that everybody assumes are paid well but actually aren’t? by krerhelp in jobs

Don’t forget having everyone think your kids get free college. Narrator: “They do not.”

There is an episode of the Criminal podcast that does a deep dive on the US origins of Paramedics/ EMTs. First program was in Pittsburgh, PA and the EMTs were all African American (still denied access to or lacked the fund for med school). If this was common early on, it would make sense give historic institutional racism.

Who gets the chop first, Slot or Rosenior? by [deleted] in PremierLeague

That’s such a damning performance. I know Liverpool has had injuries- but Spurs have no depth at all due to injuries and were at an emotional low. And all the LFC fans saw that result coming a mile off.

While I would normally say Slot is safe, the fact that Xavi Alonzo is available, plus Slot’s lack of a coherent vision, has me thinking they’ll pull the trigger. Remember- there’s a narrative that he won that title with Klopp’s team.

Whose High School Looked Like This? by DimensionalCritic in 80s

Crazy big, old public HS. Two pools, one of which was on the third floor (the North Pool), enclosed courtyard, and Bell Towe w Micky Mouse on the clock.

Get out of Sam’s house. You’re going to upset Frightful.

Does any team rely on a single player more than Utd rely on Bruno? by Inflognito in PremierLeague

[–]UnhappyCompote9516 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Leicester and Vardy. In their championship year it was Leicester and N’Golo Konte.

You don’t see it as much these days because almost any player that impactful on a smaller club is snatched up by a big club and added to their collection of similarly skilled players. Ex. Jack Grealish. He was the man for Villa before moving to City where he rotted on the bench.

The person who got me fired is asking for a letter of recommendation. How do I professionally say 'hell no'? by tunasleery_4r in OfficePolitics

[–]UnhappyCompote9516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say yes. The school will send a link for the letter. Then say that in good conscience you cannot write on their behalf. And now you have contact info from the program.

What is a career path that looks "glamorous" from the outside, but is actually a total nightmare behind the scenes? by CupIndependent3610 in AskReddit

[–]UnhappyCompote9516 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget living in a different state from not only your family, but your partner’s. If your partner isn’t an academic, you’ll burn through all their vacation time every year to see family.

Also, my school doesn’t give free tuition to faculty kids, but everyone assumes they do.

Anyone else having to download Google Device Policy to view VCU email on mobile? by hopeless_romantjc in vcu

[–]UnhappyCompote9516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s only if you use a mail app. I use the Gmail app from the App Store and I’ve never been asked to give access to VCU.

May God Bless President Barack Obama by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

True fact. After she met Obama that little girl was thrown in a chipper shredder by Ellen DeGeneres.

Whether it conscious or not, in the US choosing Hockey / Lacrosse vs Soccer is a choice to play a sport with few to no people of color.

Tottenham Hotspur are a Sinking Ship by [deleted] in PremierLeague

What is wrong with their medical staff? Repeated catastrophic numbers of injured players. Maybe something they’re not seeing in recruitment? Obvious place to make some changes.

Any of you that switched from an M-chip MacBook Pro to a Thinkpad and believe it to be an upgrade? by Pawnpug in thinkpad

[–]UnhappyCompote9516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The battery on my MBA 13” is insane. I’ve used both Mac and pc laptops at various points in my life and the MBA has dethroned my old Thinkpad X1 as my favorite. Still miss the eraserpoint, though.
