From today, dialing 999 won’t get you the emergency services. And that’s not the only thing that’s changing. Nicer ambulances, faster response times and better-looking drivers mean they’re not just the emergency services — they’re your emergency services. So, remember the new number: 0118 999 881 999 119 725… 3.
Keep your eyes open for opportunities. Sure, you work in insurance, but surely they need ads and signs and such, maybe you can independently put forth a few products in the environment you work in and make a name for yourself serving the needs you find where you find them.
I work in IT now, but I used to be a musician. Some of my music has been used in training videos for companies I’ve worked for, evne though I didn’t get any credit I got paid my normal wages to make music. I learned image editing and creation in gimp and some of my images have been used in multi-million dollar court cases.
Being a jack of all trades is typically looked down on by snooty people who don’t know that the full saying is, “Jack of All Trades, Master of None, Oftentimes better than a Master of One”.
I work in IT, everyone in the workplace that doesn’t work in IT is basically a child when it comes to computers, so I can explain computers to a child.
Not casting aspersions or anything, but after the 5th time you’ve taught the same 63 year old doctor how to use a mouse you start to recognize a pattern, and I’ve been doing it long enough that I have started to successfully guess and solve the problem while people are still trying to find the words to describe the problem to me.
Best: None. Weddings are pretty boring. I had fun at mine I guess but I got chewed out afterwards because people kept coming to me and asking me to do things and apparently I was supposed to be glued to my new wifes side the whole time.
Worst: Went to a friends wedding, somehow got mistaken as the groom by the priest, which I cleared up, but then during the ceremony the priest said, “I believe that with the power of Jesus any marriage can work, even between people of different races” while looking directly at me, the only non-white (Lakota) person in the entire room.
Being as that god is typically considered to be the Christian God, then the dogmatic principle of, “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s” should come into play, at least in the western world. Their invitation is from the true owner of the home, the state, which supersedes the current occupants authority as, “all nations are created by God”.
However there may be some concept of primacy of house and home that in God’s eyes turns out to be more important than the political societal contract we live under that has an exemption for protection from evil supernatural entities, as otherwise a long-lived vampire could simply manipulate the population to get themselves elected as a ruler and cause the citizens to lose one of their fundamental protections from the denizens of the night.
That being said, most law-abiding homeowners would probably permit the entry based on the existence of the warrant by default, so it’s likely a moot point.
Yeah, that would work if people would be fastidious about swapping out the Listerine.
Given how often most people do so much as swap out their *toothbrush most of us would leave it until it mutated
It’s a screenshot from the movie They Live.
In it, Roddy Piper has special glasses that allows him to see past these like weird replacement human alien creatures disguises, so in this screenshot he’s wearing the glasses and so you can see a couple of the aliens faces in like blended in amongst the people and originally behind the screenshots or behind the images on the billboards you would see signs that say stuff like “obey” and “reproduce”.
I chose to use the black and white copy even though that wasn’t really perfect because it helped me not have to worry about shading in all of the colors for the images that I pasted in, because I am not a Photoshop expert.

Its a retirement home for people in their 30s today, lol
My work decided to close for Juneteenth, but then I had to come back on Friday, and I told everyone I was going to request that Friday off so I could have a four-day weekend for the price of one day of PTO, and I forgot to do it, so I had to work a weird bizarroland hellscape Friday where we had just had a day off so we have like a little bit more energy than usual, but then the weekend is also about to hit so everyone wanted to leave, but everyone also wanted to get all of their work done, so for me it was just a fucking nightmare.
How is it possible to regret eating blueberries? Like, I need more details.
Especially in a group. Chances are they had empathy to begin with, combined that with actual drugs, likely at least weed, and then got a nice dose of groupthink placebo as the cherry on top.
If you have the lid closed, you’re looking at 3 to 15 watts to have a laptop running in the background doing some basic server shit.
Maybe a little more under high load, but those are going to be intermittent and not constant.
I’m just saying it’s not that much more electricity usage, and the recycling more than offsets the CO2.
It is the only song of theirs that I will not immediately change the station if it comes on.
One day, out to a cliff That overlooks the water I jumped in to save a girl It was somebody’s daughter And now the ring that’s on my hand It was given to me by her And to this day we all sit around And dream of ways to get higher

If I ever meet the asshole that invented the mouse-off function for webpages so that when you go to close a tab, a pop-up jumps up so that the website owner can scream, “wait, no, please subscribe, give us your email, send us money, something holy fucking shit, dear god ah!” at you I swear I will break their fucking fingers and punch them in the dick.
My house is a reddish brown with a green metal roof. My cars are black, red, and yellow, and I do everything I can to make sure that I am surrounded by at least some kind of light and color at all times.
If I was dating a girl and I found out that she was a sad beige mom, that would be the end of the relationship.
Why would we assume that you have to be 21 years old or the equivalent to drink alcohol in a medieval fantasy world?
There are still many parts of the modern world that allow 16 year olds to drink.
And even in the medieval time period of Europe, pretty much everyone would drink alcohol because it was cleaner than water, although younger people would tend to drink “small beers” that had very light alcohol.
My assumption would be that in this time frame, if the bartender judged you competent and capable of drinking, they would sell you alcohol.
If they didn’t, they wouldn’t, and the only consequence would be that you’re on your own in dealing with the effects of alcohol on you.
Parts of it were, but parts were hand drawn, all of the text was put in manually with the comic neue font, and the whole thing was assembled piece by piece in gimp.
