MY EVERYDAY BRAIN

im honestly still just as wary about the next season of the witcher even after the table read -

because it was never about liam's acting skills.

do i think henry cavill was a spectacular match for geralt?

yeah. but not only because of his looks or his acting: he GOT geralt and the witcher in general. he's a massive nerd who knows the franchise like he wrote it himself and was a big reason (not the sole, but a big one) that the show kept on track and was even somewhat faithful to the original material.

but i don't believe cavill did a regé jean-page and like. left to seek stardom or whatever. this was a passion project too for him, you could tell.

no, I'm wary of the future of witcher because of the higher ups involved.

so what DID the people who disagreed so hard with him he quit the project do? well, they needed a 7000 word letter from joey batey and the fanbase pleading just to allow jaskier to be queer like he (pretty much) canonically is. didn't need incentive from anyone to create fake gay motives for the worse villain of the story, though. didn't need incentive to completely ruin one of the most beloved characters of the franchise, or let his actor get harassed on socials after the swap without ever saying shit.

i do not trust that these people, who have proven callous, arrogant and ignorant about both the source material and the opinions of the fanbase (and have made some choices nearing bigotry) and who disagreed so heavily with the actor who knew the source material best are capable of producing a good season 4. liam or no liam. am i hoping he's a good geralt? yes, the series and other actors don't deserve to have their performance harmed by him. can it be as good as the seasons cavill was in? for the reasons cited above: fuck no.

This is Rafah which the occupation army is preparing to enter and these small square-shaped plots are the tents of the displaced and they contain more than a million displaced people,reality on the ground is much worse than it appears from above,as there is no greater suffering..

you there. high quality production youtube channel with a team of people. why are your captions autogenerated.

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

Just watched that short vid that dc shared of Poison Ivy's outfit for the Met Gala and now I wanna draw all Gotham attending the event;;;

Help me

Me & the other drivers were really impressed when you swerved around all of us at high speeds & got to the red light before anyone else

Happy Tuesday internet, today I got rejected for a job 24 minutes after applying and now I am going to take a nap.

An update! I sent a very carefully worded email to the recruiter (note this is an internal job posting which def factors into the dynamic) and spouted some corporate-ese about how I was puzzled by this rejection as it's in the same job family as my current job, and asked for feedback so I can take it forward and incorporate it into my "growth plan" (blech)

That afternoon the recruiter got back to me and offered to review my resume with the hiring manager and get back to me with feedback by the end of the week.

Today, she reached out and said the hiring manager would be "scheduling some time to talk" and a half hour later I got a meeting invite for a job interview next week.

Now, I don't know if I was initially rejected by The Algorithm or if my resume was just skimmed and tossed aside because of regular ol human nonsense, but here's the lesson learned: advocate for yourself once in a while. Be the squeaky wheel.

This isn't a one on one social situation where a friend says no and you respect their boundaries. You are being churned through a massive machine that'll crush you without slowing down if you let it. Push back, ask why, and ask for it in writing. You don't have to be mulch. You can also make the wheels turn.

I'm adding to this again! I had my interview today and found out that the manager (who prefers to review resumes himself) was overwhelmed because they got nearly 400 applicants for this role, and the recruiter was helping him review resumes. So I literally just got lost in the shuffle.

Despite that, a polite check in was enough to put my name back on the radar, and I now have a second interview later this week. I've been informed I'm in their top 3 picks.

I have whiplash but also hot DAMN does this reinforce the importance of self advocacy at work.

Can you imagine suing Boeing and coming home to find Boeing's faulty plane parts washed up in your backyard?

(for the purposes of this poll, there is no monkey's paw situation: the chore you pick stays the same level of difficulty/grossness/etc. as it normally is for you, and you only have to do it as often as you want to. the chores you don't pick are magically done for you exactly the way you'd want them to be, just with zero effort on your part.)

Clutter I can do this rest go fuck it selfs.
