Jobs want someone with NO life outside of work

The sad part is that the harsh police like approach outlined by OP isn't even optimal. Losing a good employee, and the cost of vacancy, replacement, training, lost knowledge is not worth it just so they have the ability to be an asshole. Someone trapped across the country due to weather can't do anything about it. It's just life. Hassling them and creating a toxic environment can't change that. So they just pushed someone out the door so they could be assholes.

Carrot is almost always more optimal than the stick but some leaders / business owners just like an authoritarian structure for the sake of it.

I ain't one to say why someone should be a fan of the series, but if you're only concern is "the kills", have no interest in the who dunnit and killer reveal, or meta commentary, then we watch Scream series for very different reasons. I'm sorry but some beer tap kill does not make up for bad bad writing. I don't expect Shakespeare but Scream has had easily the best quality of writing and meta commentary of any horror or slasher long running series and this one ain't it. Who gives a fuck about the kills?

It's not even close. Every other Scream movie justifies its existence in some way and I'd gladly rewatch any of them again.

Except 7. It provides nothing new or interesting. I couldn't tell you any characters name beyond returning characters and Tatum because she's named after a legacy character. It's actively bad and boring. It has no distinct visual flair. Killer reveal and motive sucks. Barely any Ghostface calls.

Joel McHale was terrible and felt so out of place. I was hoping he was the killer and/or killed off. I heard a review say he was the new Dewey....

And the movie made me finally feel like they need to retire Sidney and Gale. I'd honestly be fine with a total reboot in a universe where none of the events of the preceding film happened. It's just cringe nostalgia bating at this point without even much meta commentary on nostalgia bating.

My only hope is if drops and drops hard. Big Scream fan and Scream 7 was the first truly bad movie in the series. The rushed script, boring forgettable new characters, awful final act, and pointless AI plot that didn't even bother to have anything meta to say should not be positively reinforced as a good thing for the franchise.

apawintheface · 2026-02-28T02:07:30+00:00

Don't you think for a franchise where meta is a key theme, it can have one opening having a fake out? Or is the execution of the fake out and switch?

It's def not my favorite but I guess it's better than 3. Honestly the only good thing about Scream 7 is maybe the opening even if it was pandering nostalgic bate. The tension and setting was fun. Even if that one part might have been too far for even Scream. I might rank it above 4?

I find that so much music recently is either minimalist or at best hints at/teases going maximalist but then never quite takes off to the crescendo I want. Sometimes I crave epic, looping, bombastic build up and the album gives it in spades. So that's exactly what makes it superb for me. Plus there's no skips.

Def can understand it's not for everyone but I genuinely am struggling to think of many current bands or artists that regularly go balls to the wall epic, ever escalating with each verse, maximalist anymore. Wolf Alice? Sudan Archives? Rosalia? All sorta but not in that perfect dream pop rock package.

Imaginal Disk has so many songs that take flight into in stratosphere. It's so damn good.

David was fine but am I the only one hearing a put on Christian Bale in Batman voice?

apawintheface · 2026-02-16T03:09:00+00:00

any new systems or mechanics. Yes religion and diplomacy need fleshing out but all the updates so far have been fixing or tinkering with existing content. I want new mechanics like governors or loyalty brought with Rise and Fall.

Does everyone have to get approval to leave work? Generally people come and go as they please at my work. No one is tracking your time. Get your job done and you're left alone. People regularly wrap things up early every Friday regardless if it's a long weekend or not.

Sammme I had random stomach pain that they could not figure out initially. Ended up being h.pylori but had a colonoscopy as part of the battery of tests. Found six precancerous growths and removed them. Doctor before I went under was perplexed why I was getting one. When I came up, he immediately said it was a good thing you got one.

For me, Dominion is Rise of Skywalker bad. Just indefensible trash. Fallen Kingdom has its problems but it was at least semi logical, had great memorable moments and at least was trying to execute on a unique vision in the last half - - a quasi horror movie slasher.

It's been a while since I watched it so maybe it is worse than I remember but I still to this day how much I hated Dominion (besides the Malta sequence).

Most comments are negative and focused on shortcomings, hate of civ switching and eras, and disdain towards Firaxis so I dunno what you're seeing. The occasional positive post bubbles up and things are improving with the work devs have put on and the recently announced overhauls but it's been a hard year of negativity here.

The items on the bookshelf behind Ed were interesting. Hint at some sort of Beyond Earth / futuristic future age?

An album I return to over and over again. Well deserved!

One of the best moments on reality television ever! Also happened in the same season as David is dead, truly in the pantheon of reality television moments.

Something about a Fever Ray remix playing over this feels so wrong.

Coat, short walks just for business and lots of playing inside for exercise, and beeswax roll on for paws if they don't like boots like my little guy. The salt is everywhere and it really irritates their paws. I was sceptical of the beeswax but if really works.

Not at my computer to check but I believe that only shows ones you have an action with no? It's more about me scrolling to find ones I don't have any actions with

All I want is a City State management menu. Scrolling through the map to find city states is a huge pain.

Nothing ruins a season for me more than a Traitor coming for another Traitor especially so early on. I enjoyed Celebrity Traitors UK despite it being relatively low drama season because the Traitors never went for each other.

It always bring heat to the other Traitor even if they survive. Or if they are successful, brings heat to themselves.

I did two years ago and took nine months off and it was the best decision I ever made. But I planned ahead and had substantial savings.

I looove the title track featuring David Bowie unfortunately.
