The Future of IT Management: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities

Y’all are not ready for the next thing I’m cooking up

Pro tip. And a neutral observation believe it or not.

If you’re engaging with a story constructed on a more mythical level. And you have to twist a character into something more mundane to justify hating them or liking them. You don’t hate or like the character. You just don’t know how to engage with them as-written and you’re projecting something familiar to avoid the discomfort.

i do a light chuckle once i remember hofmann and semmelweis are friends but then i remember semmelweis and marcus' suitcase interaction where they talk about her and i am once again inconsolable about this old woman's death

I don’t care if it’s boring I’m 10000% in love with the idea of Vegeta having a quiet happy domestic home life throughout the 7 year gap and as his end game.

He was raised in an intergalactic mafia and by an absolute miracle got out and was granted his life back. Twice. One of the two last men standing when an entire population gets wiped out. Twice (counting the Freeza Force, by the end of ResF).

His father stopped fighting on the front lines once he became king, to watch over his domain. Frieza didn’t personally get involved in battle (not wipeouts, but actual battle) until Namek. Vegeta was always (told he was) intended to take both their places.

Letting him grow into a protector has been such a great arc and imho it would be so beautifully wrapped by letting him finally get to go home and inherit his crown as the guardian of his new planet.

because I love to cook the youtube algorithm pushes me a lot of food porn videos which I guess are adjacent. But over time, something about them feels cruel to me. The influencers are living in an alternate universe. 'Surf n' turf fried rice?' 40 lbs of it for a tailgate?

I live in the USA, and the absolute cheapest online price for snow crab legs I could find was $10 a lb and I have no idea if the product's any good quality. As of November 2024, the wholesale prices before markup were over $8 a lb. I haven't seen them in my grocery store for under $14 a lb. Online, 10 lb cases of crab like he's carrying there go for almost always over $100. Sometimes over $200. There was a 2018-2019 population collapse due to a marine heatwave that knocked out over 10 billion crabs.

The stated price of a beef tenderloin varies wildly depending on where I look. I can find a USDA report that states that the retail cost of beef tenderloin in my area in 2024 was around $8-$11 per lb but I have NEVER seen it for under $15 a lb on sale in the store, at least recently. Grass-fed beef costs a lot more. Maybe I am not looking hard enough, and there ARE definitely ways to get meat cheaper, like buying a cow share. But like... do you get what I am saying? That meat fried rice guy is holding is potentially over $100 by itself. and why the hell do you need tenderloin to make fried rice, anyway? It's one of the more expensive cow parts, it's filet mignon.

I kind of find it fun to watch videos where a butcher cuts up wagyu beef because it's a luxury that I can't justify spending on myself. But after a certain point this stuff stops feeling like fantasy, and begins feeling cruel. Maybe this guy has special connections where he can get that much crab for below wholesale prices, or has special deals with farmers to get a $60 whole tenderloin when he wants. But its more likely he's just rich, or is projecting the image of being rich using investor or sponsorship money.

The USA has leadership right now that dismantled any agency that can control bird flu and is blaming egg prices on its enemies. Normal people will be watching their grocery bills further skyrocket due to isolationist tariffs, rent, utilities, and medical prices take more out of their food budgets than ever before. And it would not surprise me if the plan to make up the difference after the feds round up low-wage immigrant workers is to send them right back to work but like, even more literally enslaved.

And youtube wants me to see the altreality where some random guy brings the economic collapse of largely indigenous alaskan fishing communities, and cubed filet mignon, to a tailgate??? what 'let them eat cake' bs is this???

#24.1 Grace vs Endorsi

"Five minutes. Start!" Dan cheered as he dropped a wrinkled paper.

The moment it touched the floor, a flurry of wind swept through the training ground as Endorsi narrowed the distance between them.

Grace blocked her kick with his shinsu-reinforced arm while manipulating the wave to lessen the impact.

That seemed to have taken Endorsi by surprise, so he took that chance to grab her leg and slam her to the floor with controlled strength.

If it had been the Endorsi that he knew, she would use her needle to break free from his grip and perform a few backflips so that she wouldn't hit the ground. However, this Endorsi hadn't mastered that reflex yet.

She did, however, roll sideways and aim to tackle his foot right after. Grace jumped and summoned his wings out of reflex, then let the wings disperse away. He thought that keeping the spar close-combat would be the best choice to bring out the best of her abilities.

Endorsi twisted and aimed another kick. At the same time, he felt a small movement from behind him. He moved slightly to dodge and a needle flew past his arm.

Endorsi tsked, but she was smirking. "To think that you were able to dodge that. Impressive."

"Hm? What do you mean?" Grace pretended to be confused, but his face must've shown the truth.

Endorsi sneered and flung another kick. "So that's how you're going to play it."

They proceeded to trade blow after blow, fiercer and faster, displaying their best close-combat skills. Dan and Gyetang cheered for Endorsi everytime she went on the offensive.

Given enough time, he was sure Endorsi could figure something out on her own to improve her skills. Currently she just needed some battle experience; the reflex and agility, the skill to read and predict.

Grace refrained from using bangs to attack her directly, but he did use them to block her needles, with a maximum of two bangs at a time. If it weren't for the barrier surrounding the training area, their floating ship would've had some major dents and cracks from the blows.

An alarm rang, followed by "Time's up!" from Dan as he excitedly waved and crossed his arms above his head.

Grace jumped out of Endorsi’s attack range to stop their spar.

When Endorsi finally relaxed her stance, Grace smiled and bowed at her. "It was a good fight, thank you."

Endorsi took a moment to reply, not really returning the sentiment. "I guess." 

Grace knew he had hurt Endorsi's pride with that fight, but he wouldn't have done it any differently were he given the chance.

still thinking about my interactions with a tunner alter while playing sploon with him

[fluo-skeletons]

alright I'm curious about something.

*not in all attempts option is for if in some you DID reset/change because of him

[oensible]

i feel like in the absence of noted goons kyle and givani there's a fun dichotomy with current top goons in the pecking order luke kunin/barclay goodrow (the usual guys you expect to see fighting, puts up an ok showing in them more often than not) on one hand and nico sturm at the other (says he will do it if he feels like he has to. hard to tell but it seems like he hypes himself up with it. dear god someone get him out of there before he hurts himself)

somewhere in the mix is henry (wants to start fighting. (diversify his investment portfolio.) turning hopeful eyes upon luke for guidance) and klim (wants to escape the narrative and not fight so much. still feels obliged to step up)

having escaped the narrative is nikita okhotiuk who, like klim, wanted to not be just a goon after a reputation established from some big hits and being a Big Boy, but he unfortunately also donate the puck to the opposition too many times so gmmg banished him to calgary for a 5th round pick. and then he signed a sanctions-violating contract with cska moscow and skedaddled

[gotyouanyway]

not sure what the hypothesis is and idk what it’s like for kids these days but just weighing in if you grew up using macs in the 00s your tech problem solving skills got honed bc nothing on planet earth was compatible with your computer. so you had to spend hours researching and figuring out the sketchiest shit recommended by guys on niche forums all so you could play some stupid game your friends were playing on the worst emulator ever

[sadlynotthevoid]

Now that I finished watching the anime and I'm reading the manga like my sister drinks water (a lot and constantly), I'm starting to post prompts and AUs about Wind Breaker too.

Anyways, Awakener AU (if you read korean manhwa/novels, you know what I mean) where the monster spawning begun before Sakura's first year.

—Except Sakura awakened just before he left his hometown and was chased away because they thought he was cursed or something.

People awakening and getting abilities were really new and it wasn't quite well spread yet. No one knew what was going on except him— more or less, thanks to what the whole awakening process implies (floating screen and such)—. Not that he could explain it.

Cue Sakura arriving to Furin when monsters are trying to attack the town. Everyone is confused to who this kid is, why this kid is, and from where did he even came.

Turns out he is the student from 1-1 class who hadn't shown up yet.

Throwing another option of HMC dynamic you might have never thought about: Mari and Princess Valeria's friendship would be an unstoppable force of power unknown to making and to prevent this from happening the universe made them exist in different words.
