It’s always “on paid leave” and never “on fire.”
Well that sucks. I am guilty of really only following Risa, mostly due to big gaps in my watch history and wanting to avoid spoilers for the newer shows. I’m not surprised though… Reddit had (and still has) tremendous amounts of inertia.
And now that you know, feel free to join us in the rabbit hole!
Successfully pulling off a lift-and-move like that was huge. I wish more niche/fandoms had followed suit instead of staying put.
Oh, no mockery intended on my part. I was just trying to make sure all of the elements got equal representation.

I worked in a “datacenter” where the humidifier function for the HVAC unit was turned off because it leaked under the floor into an adjoining office when it was trying to humidify. Management refused to fix the unit due to the cost, and saw no issue with running the room with relative humidity in the teens all winter. Madness.
This is about as coherent an argument as you’re gonna find on the topic.
I got bit by this earlier in the year. I needed a smaller TV for the bedroom. I narrowed down the line I wanted. Target and Best Buy were the only two local stores to carry it. BB had the 2023 model, Target had a 2022 model with a sub-designation that was $50 cheaper. I went with Target because I didn’t care if it was an older model, just needed something good enough. Well, it wasn’t good enough, not even close. The color accuracy was so bad that the tint adjustment was useless — it was both too pink and too green no matter what. I dug out my old calibration disk and tried to adjust the color by isolating red/green/blue channels. The best-effort adjustments made it better, but still awful. I even connected it to the network (hardwire only, fuck “smart” appliances) just in case a firmware update helped. It did not, so back it went. Had to wait, multiple times in line and for someone to pull from the back, for like 45 minutes because they “don’t do exchanges” so I needed to do a song and dance to get the sale price on a replacement purchase. Got the replacement home, same deal. At that point I suspected it was leftover Black Friday junk.
Took it back and went to Best Buy. Spent the extra $50. Perfect color out of the box. Lesson(s) learned.
Anyone else think it’s cool to just fly solo as a good human, no religion attached?
Religion does not have a monopoly on morality, despite what many preach. Be kind, and believe what you want.
Thank you for the clarification.
Similar story here, except instead of no help, I got a green nepo hire with a doctored resume that I was expected to babysit. I gave it a couple of months to bake, just to make sure I wasn’t overreacting. Nope, he was useless. I walked.
Im sure that there are other lifeforms in some other system just not the flying sorcerer type.
Ugh, I hope you’re right. Flying aliens would be bad enough. But if the bastards can muticlass and use magic as well… we’d be doomed.
“I was unsure of whether I could trust y’all with this info, but after talking with you a bit I think it’s time to come clean.” And then start talking about Second Impact as if it happened IRL and not in a famous anime. (Spoilers for Evangelion in the link.) There’s already in-lore conspiracies and coverups to use as talking points.
The same reason anyone takes a USB stick anywhere: to inconspicuously drop in a conspicuous place in hopes that some rube will find it, put it in their PC, and get pwnd.
Me before reading the article: It’s got to be dates. Excel thinks everything is a date.
Me after reading the article: Even the workaround is halfhearted. Jeebus.
I think you just described “business” in general.
