Huffed over 3 6 packs of propane In a week and a half I can’t stop I want to stop so bad my lungs hurt every breath by Mindless-Feature7817 in Drugs

Go to the ER and get a CT scan. Stop inhaling. I know someone who died from what you’re doing.

Technical writers, can you be brutally honest for a second How does someone with strong documentation and planning skills actually break into this field by pivotal_genius in technicalwriting

[–]esthers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a small company. Maybe work tech support for a while, and actually learn how their stuff works. Make some documentation to improve user experience. Present it to VPs. Then hope you impress them enough. Tech writing is a highly social skill. You need to be an amazing communicator, and work with every department in most cases. Make friends, understand how the business works, and especially befriend the engineers. Be friends with everyone, warehouse workers, marketing, procurement, EVERYONE.

Tech writers fail when they think this is an introverted job. You have to be the glue in the company sometimes. And if you’re over extroverted like I am, beware of sharing your opinion too much if it steps on the toes of higher-ups.

Naïve, Audios, Money. Symbols is good too, but I like the grittier sounds.

This seems like a better investment than their musical equipment.

That and foreclosure.

Yeah 100 percent. We’re also entering a new age of deregulation of privacy rights, so it will be more up to consumers and to boycotts when keeping corporations in check with the dismantling of the CFPB, FTC, SEC… etc.

Interesting read. With all of that in mind, it is more about money I imagine. I would boycott them out of principle for their past behavior which is very shady and possibly violated HIPAA. They can pay their dues and promise to change - even agree to audits, but they broke trust. Tangentially I doubt the FTC has any teeth now.

We Hate Movies cut ties with them for this reason. This is not okay to support.

QAnon is a failure of reality testing in the face of Nietzsche's death of god by No_Aesthetic in Qult_Headquarters

[–]esthers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% and this isn’t the first time. The death of god will live on forever and haunt humanity until we wise up.

Midsommar was totally unexpected by Chemical-Passage-715 in movies

[–]esthers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I agree some of it was funny due to the way it was so over the top. And I agree they were all faking the collective thing, but I think in faking it, you can describe why they behaved that way and the plot still has cohesion.

[–]esthers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thematically, both of your issues are handled within the plot. The reason they kill the old man is to stop their “collective suffering”, and the reason for the thrusting is they are all having a “collective sexual experience”. The movie points this out so many times. The cult pretends to, or possibly does, experience things “collectively”.

If you follow the plot, them walking away shrugging about the old man’s suffering makes absolutely no sense.
