Lol. I wasn’t going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I’m not paying for gearbox games ever again.

“I was just doing my job” is an excuse that I thought we figured out, as a planet, was bullshit in the 1940s.
Set a trap for whoever comes to haul things away.

As shitty as things like this are, at least they’re self identifying who needs to be in the Guillotine line.

Just set him on fire here, no need to launch a rocket with all the pollution that will create.
End result is extra crispy lunatic either way.

The big one of endgame is Tony Stark commits the single worst crime in the history of the universe by “un-snapping” the half of the universe that was snapped by Thanos 5 years after they disappeared. No accounting for all the people who are dead in the meantime, no accounting for all the awkward conversations of “oh for me I just blinked and now you have two kids and a new wife” or “who are you people and why are you in my house where am I supposed to live now” all because he lacks the imagination to make the universe go back 5 years while keeping Pepper and his daughter the same.
Oh and
spoiler
he dies in the process too
. That’s probably more important to most people.

That’s how I felt about infinity war and endgame.
I decided not to watch after finding out it was a 2 parter, then after endgame came out I still hadn’t watched it after a good year and a half.
Then someone spoiled the ending out of nowhere in a post and I decided I’d finally watch it.
I’m impressed you’ve gone this long.

- Miles O'Brien@startrek.websitetoCasual Conversation @lemm.ee•What's the fastest you left a job?English88·1 month ago
Under five minutes.
I interviewed, accepted the job offer at the end, showed up for my first scheduled shift and found out my manager wasn’t the polite manager I interviewed with.
For the record, I was supposed to start at 9am. It was 8:45 when I walked in.
Manager, literally yelling from about 300ft away: YOU’RE LATE!
Me, confused: I’m 15 minutes early?
Manager: I EXPECT YOU TO BE HERE HALF A HOUR BEFORE EVERY SHIFT, IF YOU’RE LATE AGAIN YOU’RE ON THIN FUCKING ICE
And I turned my happy ass around and walked out.
I don’t care if it was some bullshit tactic to “weed out” people, that is completely unacceptable behavior and in my younger years I have gotten into fist fights over someone speaking to another like that.
I had another job inside a week.
I don’t care if they had someone to fill my spot the next day. It wasn’t worth the time.

An acceptable trade.

Yes. Yes it is.
Personal experience.
I have a 750w inverter plugged into my 12v plug, and it is absolutely more than enough to run the little 500w single plate burner I have.
I have used them together but I don’t do it outside of camping when it’s too rainy to use a fire. It takes forever to cook bacon eggs and pancakes on a single burner.

The barycenter of the earth-sun orbit is within the surface of the sun, therefore the earth is understood to orbit the sun.
The JUPITER-Sun orbit barycenter, however, is outside the surface of the sun.

Yes, thank your masters for considering you for further exploitation
This is normal
This is good

Not even close to being wrong. No thank you is needed. Honestly I see no reason to thank them at the end of the interview.
And no down votes from normal people, this is absolutely an insane person posting this.

I’ll probably get down voted for this opinion, but the earth is round and orbits the sun.

I ate it because I kept reading “aquariums” and thinking the author meant protected wildlife areas, and it didn’t click until I got to “marine exhibit”
And now I can honestly imagine them allowing rich fucks to literally fish inside national aquariums for a price.

Treating a telescope like a jackhammer isn’t going to work well.
They just haven’t figured out your jackhammer just looks a lot like their telescope.
My shower spider gets a reminder of our deal.
“You know the drill. You stay up there, I stay over here, nobody has to be injured today.”
Sometimes the spider decides to come over to my side and gets flushed or squished, but they knew what was expected of them.
