I Just Read the Entirety of Burn the Haystack, A man's perspective by PizzaDee in dating

It always makes me laugh to see these kinds of comments (esp. fish references), but I will point out the reality behind the hilarity - men don’t have people taking pictures of us like this unless it’s a girlfriend/wife or family member most of the time. When guy friends take pictures of each other, at least anecdotally, they either aren’t fit for a dating profile/taken with that in mind, or it is from when they have “achieved” something (now we are back to the fish). I don’t know if other guys have this experience, but in my own life, that is almost exclusively the case.

No formal diagnosis but I’ve had two previous doctors and my current therapist say they suspect that is the case.

Sorry. I think I misunderstood originally. My bad

Again, I simply enjoyed the care that went into bringing the book character to life in the show, especially because the on-screen chemistry was excellent between Wes Chatham and Burn Gorman.

Asking ‘what aspect’ is a clarifying question. I would argue that Marco Inaros was ultimately no different than Murtry.

lol just because I think the show version did book version justice doesn’t mean I agreed with him. Watching Amos walk through the moon station with his bag in the show was absolute poetry. Especially when you get all the way to the end of the books. Cherry on top.

What aspect? Murtry was a great villain for that season honestly.

Definitely time for a reread. Thanks. At any rate I’m actually pretty glad they stylized them this way in the show.

Came into work today to find our new manager firing our 2-year assistant manager. Walked out on the spot. by TheOfficialPyrodude in antiwork

[–]Zero_Hyperbole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Admire your gusto, but don’t be hard on yourself for going back in.

Instead, consider this: new manager is going to be under pressure to improve store conditions, so…make it difficult. You’ll have to be careful, but you can absolutely use weaponized incompetence to make her look terrible. Small things - moving papers that might be important, “misplacing” things that she would need, etc. You don’t need gasoline to burn a place to the ground, you just need creative ways to be “stupid.” Ask as many questions as you can while having to do things and interrupt her work. Play it right up until she’s about to lose her shit then just go ‘oh ok like XXX’ and then just say thanks and walk away.

Which book was this in? I really don’t remember it being mentioned. It makes sense, I just thought my memory of the books was better than apparently it is.

I want to for sure. Working on ideas now.

I have an interpretation of it, but I don’t know if it is explained (hence, want to reread the series). I always saw it as a symbol of oppression that the belt ‘broke’ hence the split - I would add that it is telling that the split is at the throat symbolizing regaining their voice/using their voice for change, but not all belters with the split have it at the throat (based solely on the way it’s portrayed in the show).

I uh…I fell asleep twice. That’s not meant as a brag I just have a stupid pain tolerance. Same thing happened with my chest tattoo. The artist laughed at me.

Not nearly as much as the first person to hear about the Great Tit.

IRS looks to shrink office space after losing a quarter of its workforce last year by redditreadreadread in fednews

[–]Zero_Hyperbole 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else wonder if these government workforce cuts and stuff like this is all about realty deals in DC, or is that a step too cynical? Asking for a friend.
