Yep, we as a family have been doing Friday night movie+homemadepizza since covid days. The kids usually win out on the movie pick, so it’s often something animated or starring Jack Black, but we occasionally make them watch something like Amelie or Office Space, and those adult picks usually go over pretty well. :)

Oof, yeah, not worth it <3 happy cubing!

But your best ao5 happens when you drink coffee, right?

Unmeasured edibles in the olden days, oh boy… I don’t miss it.

This isn’t strictly corpo-speak, but upper mgmt type people do this a lot:
Misuse of the word “myself.” Like, “if you have any questions, talk to Joe or myself.”
Nice one dumb-ass–you tried to sound smarter by adding syllables but it didn’t work, did it!

One point five… d’oh!

Ha, yeah! I had to practically go into hiding to get through Severance without hearing hints from coworkers/internet/friends. Expanse hasn’t been quite as challenging :fingerscrossed:

Same here on The Expanse. I hope to get back to it someday because my friends say it gets better.

Same! I gave up after season 1. That s1 finale just pissed me off.

Bach. Anything after that’s pretty cheesy…

Does peanut butter count? I eat it on carrots, dip dark chocolate bars into it, sometimes just scoop it with a spoon. Yum.

I keep hearing about this thing. Does it really do all the photoshop things? adjustment layers, masks, dodge+burn, all that stuff? and I guess, does it do it well, with big files?

Before November, I did it by mainly looking at AP News. During November I was kind of a mess. After November, no news at all. My lemmy feed is comic strips, Linux, photography, and asklemmy, a few other things that are not political. If major shit happens I hear from my partner or friends, but they all know I’m not that interested. My YouTube feed is Buddhist stuff, standup comedy, and hobby rabbit holes. I even filtered out the lefty late night shows (daily show etc). I know the basics of what’s going on, but don’t feel any need to get daily updates on it and I’m feeling pretty sane compared to a few months ago! We donate to Palestinian charities, HRC, etc., are active in other ways, but this daily media crap is not healthy.

It is. And stop calling me Shirley.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

The Big Lebowski

such a hard question. Those are two that I’ve watched a million times and keep getting enjoyment out of, and not just because I’ve seen them so much, but they’re actually well made. I’d definitely put Spirited Away as a contender. LotR, I know, unpopular opinion, but I don’t think they are great movies. The books were great!

I love natto. Which isn’t that weird IMO, but people sure seem to think it is.

Even when I lived in Japan for a little bit, people there would be like “a GAIJIN that likes NATTO!?” Sure, it’s stinky, but yum.

mm yeah. I like sea urchin too. and raw oysters. Both of them, if they’re fresh, just have that flavor/feel like you’re consuming and becoming one with OCEAN

I’m often very much in the same boat as you. I’m the one in the team interview who afterwards is like “pleeease let’s go with person B, because person A just, y’know, … bad gut feeling?” And I wish I could ask more personal questions in the interview itself. However, I’ve been lightly warned (and subsequent web searches confirm this) that it’s a legal grey area to ask about personal stuff in interviews. If they bring it up, or maybe you drop an obscure ST:TNG reference and they pick up on it, by all means, they’re “one of us” so go for it. But on the flip side, you might hear something that, say if you don’t end up hiring them, could be grounds for a discrimination lawsuit.

Dang, that’s creepy and I like it. Nice work!
