What’s the idea?

Yeah im reading the comics for the first time, I’ve read some of his books before. My gateway was the Pratchett joint venture. I hate that hes so rapey. Now I know a bit of how potter fans feel.

Death is before me today Like a sick man’s recovery, Like going outdoors after confinement. Death is before me today Like the fragrance of myrrh, Like sitting under sail on breeze day. Death is before me today Like the fragrance of lotus. Like sitting on the shore of drunkenness. Death is before me today Like a well-trodden way, Like a man’s coming home from warfare. Death is before me today Like the clearing of the sky. As when a man discovers what he ignored. Death is before me today Like a man’s longing to see his home When he has spent many years in captivity

I saw it in sandman but apparently its Ancient Egyptian

Agreed. Most of the time the man is expected to do the asking. From my personal, not reflective of the rest of society, experience…when dating if I asked someone out id plan the date and pay. It was usually second date when dating men, or once when I had to cancel on a first date I then asked the person out and arranged the first date.

The only time I ever felt a bit grumpy about paying was when the other person couldn’t decide between two dishes. I told them to order both, and I assumed theyd take their leftovers. They ate a tiny bit of each and didn’t take any home. Thats just wasteful. There was no next date.

^ all amazing

(Theres a couple of Jesus ones, but i would say overall its a pretty diverse collection for being 1980s British)

If i invite someone out to dinner I pay. If someone invites me out to dinner I expect them to pay. However, I think in general in the US most men and women expect the man to pay.

100%. If I have less than 6 people on a flight they get whatever they want. I know coworkers who would never give anything free, we are as varied as humans

I like this take. They’re not great at magic and only meant for him to fall over and graze his knee…

Or Hassan Piker. Because he caused 9/11…when he was 9…

Honk honk

I want banana and custard

Molotov?

Flight Attendant here 🤚 I haven’t seen the behavior you describe (except cutting in line, I have seen that and it always made me uncomfortable, but most now just use the pre-order app). I have seen some level of asshole behavior from FAs, gate agents, rampers, pilots, cleaners. Oddly not maintenence or movers, but maybe I just dont get the time with them.

I’ve been in my role with my company over a decade, and noticed a pretty big culture shift during that time. When I started the gate agents and FAs would butt heads a lot; one work group was focused on everything they needed for a smooth flight and union protected so didn’t mind advocating for themselves, the other group got reprimanded ending in loss of the job if the flight (or too many flights) went out late. Leadership introduced joint training between multiple workgroups and explained pressures of each role to other groups. It really improved teamwork. Now security/cleaners/pilots/FAs/gate agents are actually communicating, even if just to greet each other. It was toxic before.

I pretty much despise our corporate management but gave them the grace to call them leadership here because it is one good thing they’ve done, and it made a lasting impact.

Unfortunately this is true (assuming the PSA block minimum is 3.5hrs) At jetblue it’s 5 hrs, at spirit it’s 4 hrs. Duty can be scheduled between 12-14 hours and extended upwards of 15 for delays.

Take the example of this fun little overnight trip, you fly one leg to Norfolk, sit on the ground for five hours (six and a half, but half hour deplaning, one hour boarding) then fly back. Your flight time (paid time) is 4hrs33 and your time away from base (time on duty) is 12hrs35

But dont panic folks, you can be disciplined at any point during duty time for your behavior, where you are, and uniform compliance :,(

Like a hyena great argument against intelligent design

The best time to leave Facebook was years ago. The second best time is now 💪
