i’m just gonna use this ask to get out some of my feelings, because they need to go somewhere. so look okay here are my thoughts on everything:

i think if not for a bad strategy decision an oscar win would have been uncontested. i feel upset about the way it was handled, and of course im frustrated at lando right now— but it was a very high emotion/high pressure situation so y’know it is what it is. i do understand why lando wouldn’t want to give up that P1. i think he did it eventually because he knew he’d be in massive shit if he didn’t and it would damage his relationship with oscar/the team.

i think it sucks for oscar to have his maiden win cheapened like that i wish lando gave the spot up earlier. but again, it is what it is. oscar won. oscar did an incredible job. he aced the shit out of the start and lead for 2/3rds of the race. the ONLY reason he lost that lead was a bad strategy decision. and its obvious he had the gap he did at the very end because he wanted to conserve his tyres if he needed to race lando for it. there’s no use trying to close that gap when you have preestablished orders that your teammate has to give you that spot back.

i’m frustrated at lando. but i’m mad at mclaren. i think this is an easily foreseeable issue and i don’t understand why they would have risked jeopardising oscars win like that. but whatever.

i’m so incredibly glad for lando and oscar’s relationship. it’s very clear to me that any frustrations either of them had are with the team. for lando to go from spewing on the radio one minute to congratulating oscar the moment he got out of the car, it just makes me happy. and to the people who are like blah blah there was podium tension!!!! like yes?? of course there was!? it was not a perfect win by any means— i would have mixed feelings too!

anyway tldr: no it wasn’t perfect, but that was still a win for oscar and i’m proud of him.

There are some really rage bait stories in reddit/internet about parents who clearly prefer one child over the others and we're right to be overly suspicious of those because there's no way real people act like this , right ? No way ! But then you see one example in real life and holy sh- no one would believe you if you told them .

not to tread on really gossipy dirt sheet stuff but the reason why nia jax's matches always got low ratings is partly not just because of her lack of in-ring skills and bad safety record, its because she once yelled at the wrestling reviewer guy for speculating that roman's (one of her relatives btw) cancer was mild. like, she told him to shut the fuck up for spreading misinformation, and even if the info is true, the reporter was doing a hipaa violation for leaking details of roman's medical issues. like, she might be improving now and might even get better later on, but she'll forever get that smear on her name because the number one reviewer in wrestling is a nosy piece of shit who leaked the cause of death of that joshi chick who died of suicide. also nia's break was mental health related which she requested first, not because she refused vaccination. she is still an antivaxx tho. this is a case of everyone being an asshole but. i legit believed half of the nastiness of the wrestling fandom came from that reporter and the people who trust his opinions willy nilly.

[this is a suuuuper old draft and im just tryna empty my drafts rn sozjdjdjd]

Based on personal experience, Cater's pet peeve being "walking on eggshells around his sisters" makes so much sense and is an interesting factor on how Cater is who he is right now.

Ever notice how Cater mediates between people? Or how easy he can read the room? Or ever notice how, in Episode of Heartslabyul, Cater had this forced smile when he said he'll go make tea for Riddle when Riddle blew a fuse?

Isn't handling Riddle himself along with Trey reminds Cater of how similar it is to walk on eggshells around his sisters? Do you ever think how Cater would maybe go ".....this same situation again...?"

God forbid a woman to project her similar struggles to a fictional man

My thumbs hurt so much but I am VERY satisfied with the amount of video game played during this ice storm

So I think it was worth aggravating my RSIs in both hands and the only thing stopping me from bringing my switch to work with me to play at lunch is that I know I absolutely would not want to stop to what, DO MORE WORK???? lol!

Anyway I don’t really want to go back to work and certainly don’t want to do the Main Tasks of the week (prepare for the prospie visit on Friday, which is, against all odds, still happening somehow). I’m not super looking forward to going back to work, but going on LinkedIn even briefly and reading one (1) job ad made me even more bummed out, so none of that for now!! I will work at this job that is easy and pays terribly and has a current supervisor who doesn’t know shit about the department she’s worked in for 20 years or how it works, but makes throwing parties a priority. Yay!!

We celebrated our anniversary last weekend and it was sooooo sweet, I'm so glad I took 2 days off to enjoy my time with my bf. Work wasn't even that awful this week, or maybe my interest and will were low because we had Secret Santa and some useless meetings. My Santa got me almost everything on my wish list, except for the film camera (understandable, that shit would've eaten up the whole budget & it's pretty hard to find) so I'm gonna place an online order for a film by the new year. And the coworker whose name I drew for Secret Santa loved her gift too, even though I only got her a copy of the little prince, some christmas tea, sweets and a knitted bookmark... A bit humiliating ngl 😭 like I was unhappy with it cause normally I love making gifts but this time she didn't write much on her wishlist, didn't put any items, and just gave a few hints about what she likes. But she said she loved it a lot and showed it to everyone :((((( lmaooo the pressure was huge too because I really like her. And I wanted to get her something nicer than that. I'll have more opportunities though idk she knows I appreciate her so that's good enough for me.

I had some fun with my coworker this week as well, and today I learned she'd been dating this girl from her hometown for a couple months (long-distance) which I didn't know at all 😶 and apparently she lied to her about being "just friends" with this guy she was casually talking to, because my coworker found out that he didn't even know who she was. He didn't know that girl was seeing my coworker 💀 so today she was all over the place and telling me how much she dreads going home. Idk why she didn't tell me she had a gf, all this time she was making jokes about being forever single and lonely and even flirting with me when she was drunk?? I don't get her lol sometimes I feel like she's projecting a little bit... when she talks about stuff she hates in other people. Like lying or being disloyal 🤡 idk a bit hypocritical and oblivious if you ask me, like that Libra Venus and Ascendant is making her so unserious. But anyway I tried to cheer her up all day and it got me so sad I could tell she was emotional and distracted. And now I won't even see her again until the beginning of January so I hope all will go well while she's back in her hometown

The Top 6 Eco Friendly Packaging for Food to Try in Your Business | Eco-Pliant 

Eco-friendly packaging is crucial for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact. Here are six popular eco friendly packaging for food that you might consider incorporating into your business:

Biodegradable Plastics:

Traditional plastics can take hundreds of years to break down, but biodegradable  clamshell are designed to decompose more quickly. They are made from plant-based materials like cornstarch or sugarcane and can be a suitable alternative to conventional plastics.

Compostable Packaging:

Compostable packaging is made from organic materials like cornstarch, sugarcane, or bamboo. These materials break down into nutri  

ent-rich compost when subjected to the right conditions. Make sure to check for certification standards like ASTM D6400 or EN 13432 to ensure the compostability of the packaging.

Recycled Cardboard:

Using recycled paper bags with handles is an effective way to reduce the demand for new raw materials. Look for packaging made from post-consumer recycled content. Additionally, cardboard is widely recyclable, making it a sustainable option.

Mushroom Packaging (Mycelium):

Mycelium, the root system of mushrooms, can be used to create a sustainable and biodegradable packaging material. It is grown in molds to create a lightweight, durable, and compostable packaging option.

Edible Packaging:

Edible packaging involves creating packaging materials that are safe for consumption or can be easily broken down in the environment. Examples include edible films made from seaweed or starch, providing a unique and sustainable solution.

Reusable Packaging:

Encouraging customers to return and reuse packaging is an excellent way to reduce waste. Consider using durable materials such as glass or metal containers that can be easily cleaned and reused. This approach aligns with the zero-waste movement and promotes a circular economy.

Before implementing any eco-friendly packaging solution, it's important to consider factors such as the specific needs of your products, local recycling or composting infrastructure, and any relevant regulations. Additionally, educating your customers about the eco-friendly choices you've made and how they can responsibly dispose of the packaging can further enhance the positive impact of your efforts.

Choose Eco-Pliant for all your eco-friendly packaging needs. Our commitment to providing sustainable, biodegradable restaurant packaging aligns with your values and contributes to a greener, healthier planet.

as a prank, ace and epel start referring to their upperclassmen as members of their family rather than by name — when they're not actually talking to their upperclassmen, of course — just to see how long it will take them to notice. and after a while, the other freshmen start doing it, too.

ace is the first one to come up with this idea. he think it's a harmless little thing, a prank that'll cause plenty of mayhem but won't get him in any serious trouble. so he starts referring to cater and trey as his dad and mom respectively, and riddle as his uptight, no-nonsense older brother.

("one time i saw my brother try to put one of mom's tart into like a ziplock bag to save it for later, and when he took it out like two days afterwards, it fell apart immediately and he started bawling, ha ha! my dad got the whole thing on camera and shared it with me — i can show you if you want.")

he ropes epel in on the plan. epel is a little more hesitant, but seeing this as a way to get back at vil, even in a small way, he agrees to it. vil is now "ma" and rook is now "pa". people do start to wonder why he still uses he/him pronouns to refer to his supposed mother, but they decide not to question it too much.

("a few months ago, my pa told me a story about how one time my ma was trying to comb his hair, only for his comb to get stuck. so he got another comb to get the first one out, and that ended up getting stuck, too. five combs later, and peepaw had to rush him to the barber for an emergency haircut. it was pretty funny, but now i'm left wondering how pa even knew that story... hold on, i need to check my bathroom mirror for cameras, excuse me.")

surprisingly, deuce catches on pretty quickly, and he starts thinking maybe it's a new dorm policy. he doesn't know why, or why nobody else seems to be doing it, but ace seems pretty sure of himself, so he starts doing it, too, if a bit awkwardly.

("my brother always gets on my case for my bad grades. it's a little frustrating, but he only does it because he cares. my dad tutors me whenever he can, but he's not very good at studying, either. but whenever i do get good grades on my report card, my mom makes me egg tarts!")

yuu starts after they ask ace about it, and thinking it's a good prank, they decide to join in on a little mischief. so they start referring to all the teachers as their "dad". it makes people really confused, because they assume they only have one dad, two at most, but "dad" seems to change personalities every single time they talk about him.

("i was helping my dad do paperwork the other day, except we didn't get anything done and spent the entire evening playing solitaire and making dog puns."

"i was filling my dad's basketballs for him for his next game, whilst simultaneously helping him rework his pick-up lines that he's going to use on rsa's 'hot librarian' — his words, not mine. it was... a weird experience."

"i was feeding my dad's cat a couple of days ago, but i guess i fed him too much, because he's just a ball with limbs now. it's fine, though — it's not like my dad actually goes anywhere. too old for that, y'know?")

ortho is up next. idia's already ortho's brother, so he can't really do anything with that, but he really wants in on the average teenage experience of pranking your peers. so he starts referring to literally every upperclassmen he knows as his "brother". this is when everyone starts to realize that something's wrong, because some of things ortho says can not apply to idia in any reality.

("my brother is so talented! he's so good at talking to people, and making them sign contracts with him, and convincing them to invest in his restaurant... gosh, i wish i could be as good at communicating as him!")

jack is, unsurprisingly, very unamused when he figures out what the others are doing, but he doesn't try to stop them. but after a few weeks of exposure, and jack starts unconsciously doing it, too, which the others don't point out to him because they think it's absolutely hilarious.

("my brother didn't show up to morning practice, again, so my other brother and i went lookin' for him, and we ended up findin' him in a tree. obviously, my brother and i can't climb as well as my eldest bro can, so my brother just... threw a spelldrive disk at him. to get him out of the tree. and then we had to rush him to the infirmary because now he had a concussion. i don't... i don't know why he thought that would work.")

sebek is the last hold-over. not only is he unamused by this prank — and frankly very aghast when he realizes that jack has also been infected by it — but he's also really repressed and will do literally whatever it takes to not sully his image in the eyes of diasomnia. of course, with enough wear and tear, this doesn't last very long.

("ugh. my brother fell asleep on the road AGAIN! i swear, so many people have tripped over him, i'll be surprised if he hasn't broken any ribs yet.")

ace and epel think all of this is extremely funny, so they all keep trucking along with it with nobody noticing for a couple of weeks. it's all fine and dandy until the first-years are out on the town during the weekend, and deuce gets involved in a really bad carriage crash.

at the hospital, deuce starts deliriously asking for his older brother to take him home. but when the receptionist checks his familial records, they're really confused because deuce never even had a brother.

unfortunately, ace knows exactly who deuce is talking about, and awkwardly spends the next 30 minutes trying to get a hold of riddle over the phone.

the awkwardness doesn't end as riddle actually gets to the hospital, and the doctor smiles and says, "you must be mr spade's big brother."

[devil-in-hiding]

So thank you all for all the love on my little assistant idea! here’s a little more, it’s a little rushed but i couldn’t get this outta my head 💕

Returning back to base with four huge, expensive looking shopping bags, you storm towards John’s office. You don’t bother with knocking, you never do, and you find he’s bent over a file, hat long gone and a bottle of scotch near by.

He lifts his eyes, which light up at the sight of your bags and sits up. “Oh good, I see Sally got you sorted.”

“John Price what the actual hell? I can’t- This is much to-“

“It’s not coming out of your pay love. It’s on me.” He calms, but you shake your head, confusion and hope swirling in your chest.

“I don’t understand?” Is all you can say, and John looks away for a moment, clearing his throat before standing.

“You are aware that the base is hosting the Ball this year…” he starts, to which you let out a soft groan “don’t remind me, i’m so tired of looking for catering-“

“i was hoping you’d accompany me.”

“it’s hard enough trying to decide on something the four of you- i’m sorry what?”

“I would like for you to be my… date.” You have never, in the two years you’ve worked for the Captain John Price, seen him so flustered. His cheeks were flushed, arms crossed over his chest and not looking you directly, his gaze on the ground.

It takes you a moment to find your voice, a moment John takes as a ‘no’ and he is quickly trying to put distance between the two of you, walking back behind his desk.

“Of course, there’s no problem if you don’t want to. I know you’re probably very busy, I don’t want to-“

“I would love too.” You breathe out, heart thumping loudly in your ears as John finally makes eye contact with you, and you grin, feeling giddy now as you hug your shopping bags close.

“You don’t have to just because I’m your boss sweet-“

“No no! John I’d love to go to the Ball with you.” The sincerity in your voice has John grinning that grin that could nourish a god damn garden all on its own.

“That’s- brilliant. Perfect!” He laughs, walking around once more to stand in front of you. Before you can stop yourself, you lean up, brushing a soft kiss to his bearded jaw before pulling away, a sweet laugh echoing in his ears as you turn around.

“Goodnight John. We’ll talk in the morning.”
