Holy shit, ordering the wrong batteries was the icing on the cake.

Tony scratched his neck, his high visibility vest making him itchy again. He took off his bright yellow hardhat, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Now cradling his hardhat under one arm, and a clipboard in his hand, he sidled over to the rich prick. “Look, Enrique, I really need you to sign the…” He paused for a rattling rumble, as a dump truck disgorged another load of printer cartridges onto the front lawn. “…pink copy of the bill of lading. It confirms the delivery was made, and my drivers can get paid.”

Enrique sputtered, fuming. “What the hell am I supposed to do with this?“ He said, gesturing at the small hill nearly obscuring his mansion.

“Well…” Tony grunted. “ You better hope that some of these loads have magenta, otherwise these piles of cyan and yellow are totally useless.“

Wait, how big IS a football field?

Depends. He is indestructible and, as far as I know, not a renowned chef. Cooking with ingredients that you actually put in food should be totally safe for him.

He might be able to find some kind of exotic alien substance that could cause some physical pain, but at that point, is he really cooking? Or just adding something painful to food?

Sidenote, he could probably find some kind of kryptonite that would disable his powers for a meal.

It looks like you think they’re disagreeing with your point, but they are jokingly disagreeing with your scope.

You were like “i think it’s bad and bad and people in charge don’t care that it’s bad”. They were like “i think it’s horrible because the people in charge just want to make it worse.”

These items are usually marked “not for individual sale“. I’m pretty sure what you are witnessing is people just stealing things. (At least some of the time, But smaller stores do break those “not for individual sell” rules too).

If you’re not sure, just asking an employee.

The verdict is in! Looks like we landed on “ Possibly criminally negligent”

“Last year, an external audit commissioned by Meta found that while the company was routinely using algorithmic censorship to delete Arabic posts, the company had no equivalent algorithm in place to detect “Hebrew hostile speech” like racist rhetoric and violent incitement. “

Shall we play “Unreasonably evil” or “ Criminally negligent”.

Let’s head to the article!

Mild spoilers, but I think you could get this from the trailer.

I was really hoping for some thing like I Mean Girls, but gay. But I really disliked this movie. The main characters are just really bad people. They spent the first 3/4 of the movie lying and manipulating people. Done well, I guess this could be a pretty good set up for one of those “ learn the lesson at the end of the movie” plots, but it honestly just ended up being really uncomfortable for me to watch.

It is less ”Mean Girls” but gay, and more some super trashy, badly written, high school sex comedy from the 80s. There were three or four funny scenes, so any time things are happening, the sheer ridiculousness made it watchable, but anytime it’s slow enough for characters to talk to each other, it nearly became unwatchable for me.
