The Sarcasm.

I never realized just how catty Sephiroth and Rufus are around each other. They must have never liked each other at all.

GIRLS STOP FIGHTING ASEDRFGHJGFDS

1.) Did they screw each other in the past because WHAT IS EVEN THIS EXCHANGE AWSDFGHFDS

2.) Sephiroth openly describes his time in Shinra as "captivity" 😭

Like. I have thrown away at least 15 cases--that's 120 individual packs--of 16oz strawberries in the past two days because they arrived on yesterday's truck, from California, already bruised and molding. Because the crop itself is MEH this time of year due to weather. And then you have to factor transporting the product from California to the other side of the fucking country. How many days that takes. And then how many days they sit in the warehouse to be shipped to individual grocery stores.

But you haven't seen those 120 packs go into our compost bin. You see me with, like, 8 and want to bitch about waste.

Honey. Oh-ho. Nah.

Nothing is more annoying than hearing customers complain about 1) how much I'm culling from the salesfloor and 2) assuming it's because it went bad because no one is buying the product.

As the manager, having worked here for 10 years, ding dong you are wrong.

People are, in fact, paying $3.50 for one head of cauliflower. Because the bag is like $7. These cauliflower went bad because they were damp when put in a plastic bag and "sealed", thus allowing mold to grow rapidly on them.

Also, we get SENT garbage quality food all the time and throw way more away than you could possible imagine. So like. Get Over It. Welcome to perishable food.

i have a youtube video about the use of jumpscares in horror games playing in the background while I work, and it reminded me of the single worst jumpscare i've ever experienced, which happened while I was playing a little game I like to call... Google Maps. (you play Google Maps by turning on street view, zooming in to somewhere that looks interesting, and clicking on any 360 photo views that people might have uploaded. i have spent many hours of my life playing Google Maps)

Anyway, spin this guy around to see something that legitimately made me jump so hard that I damn near threw my drink across the room

(more info under the cut if you're worried about what you'll see)

there's a fish very close to the camera

tipping my hat to all the lorebenders and au enjoyers and canon deniers. HELL YEAH to your Haurchefant Lives au, to your Zenos that joins the Scions, to your rarepairs and enemies-to-lovers and crackships, to your wol!raha (you read that right, G'raha Tia that becomes the wol), to your evil Azem and atrocious Venat, to your wols that are too weak or otherwise unfit (or even dead already), to your wols that use mountains and galaxies as casual ammo, to your cosmic entity that fills the role of the wol but has nothing to do with the canon depiction of wol, to your garlean ocs, to your Aymeric that finally goes on an adventure, to your ocs from the reflections that canon never speaks of, to your grown-up twins, to the dragonfuckers, to the ascian kissers, to the people who have the balls and the whimsy to rewrite the entire msq from scratch. shoutout to creativity that sees canon as more of a guideline.

No offense to any of y'all in this debate, but I just wanted to interject to say that any time someone claims the base root of some moral conundrum originated from "Abrahamic" religions, that modern Western society might have gotten all its mores from "Abrahamic" religions, I desperately want to say, "And a lot of 'Abrahamic' religion draws inspiration from Zoroastrianism. Which was also taught to me by my Old Testament professor in a Christian-affiliated university. Who was also a preacher."

Which is to say that I agree with the idea that thought experiments with religions, mores, existential crises, etc., are fun activities more people should engage in. Whatever answer they come up with is their answer. But at least a thought was had, y'feel me?

a good thought experiment is to consider what it means to be culturally atheist, like assuming that humans are lifeforms like any other (and related by descent to all the others) and that there is no afterlife ("your energy goes out into the universe! energy is neither created nor destroyed!") and that all religions are valid pathways to spiritual insight, etc. etc.
