Funny that. I had a boss who had senoritied into a role he wasn't really qualified for. And after furlough, he too said something about me and another colleague being expendable. I had a new job offer within a month. From what I heard, covering/replacing me did not go well at all.
New gig had it's own problems, but they genuinely appreciated me.
So calling it your ABCs when you're younger isn't that far off. Interesting.
This (relevant) bit of stand up has lived rent free in my head for years:

CEO of public company actively makes product worse because of business dealings at a seperate private company owned by said CEO. Not that Tesla shareholders don't already have enough reason to be pissed, but good lord.
And it's not a "feud" that would imply Disney is being petty instead of making the fucking obvious business decision to pull advertising spend from the dumpster fire of racism and controversy that is Twitter.
The Online Safety Act has taught the Tories that they can get away with anything if they can spin it as "think of the children". I expect to see more draconian limiting of speech under this same guise.
ETA: and after reading the article, the argument of protecting kids mental health is BS. If they cared about mental health they'd fund the NHS so that wait times to see a psychiatrist/therapist reflected the urgency. Social media might add fuel to the fire, but depression doesn't just magically go away if you delete your accounts.
Houston we have no idea what our trajectory is and it's just playing happy birthday over and over.
Jokes on you, my password is just 8 asterisks... Wait crap.
Brb changing all my passwords.
The blue leds make the whole setup run cooler. And if you want a really fast build, get an aerodynamic case with a racing stripe.
But seriously, hard agree. I want a big, easy to open easy to access, metal box. With handles if it's possible I'll be using it for gigs etc.
Is anyone else hearing Aquarela do Brasil or is it just me...
It took me way too long to realize you weren't just talking about Sir Patrick Stewart's obvious sex appeal.
I sometimes lucid dream, something tips me off that it's not real, and then I can take some control. Mostly I like flying, but sometimes I go full crimefighting superhero.
Realizing you are in a dream world and deciding to work, is like winning a billion dollars and deciding to spend it all on a nice car somehow. What a boring waste.
Bummer. Not because of the extra $3, honestly I'll probably just pay it. But because until now Prime programming has been able to operate with a certain freedom. I know 0 people with prime for the video (as opposed to the free delivery) so they were willing to take risks with the shows.
Solos and Tales from the Loop are both amazing works of art that would never have shown up on network TV, or Netflix which would much rather make cheap mass appeal shows with little depth. Even more shows with wider appeal (e.g. The Expanse) might not survive the TV Executive mindset now that they have a reason to care about the number of views as a primary metric, over user happiness.
And honestly, it all baffles me, I will gladly subscribe to a streaming service for one great show. Produce 3 or 4 a year and I'm subscribed for good. If I wanted an endless string of medicore baking reality shows, I'd get cable again.
