I'm answering these for Shadow Stanley without any prompting, because I can and I want to and it's funny to me. x)

Send 💚 for a reason NOT to date my muse And send 💖 for a reason TO date my muse

💖 - Very attentive. Pays a lot of attention to you and will love you and care about you and adore you deeply, even madly.

💚 - Too attentive. Will probably stare at you adoringly, perhaps even creepily. Even while you aren't looking. Even when you are looking.

💖 - Very open when it comes to talking. He doesn't hold back on details. Will answer questions and be honest, and so you won't have to worry about open communication with him.

💚 - Too open, and then at times too closed off. One minute he'll be absolutely oversharing, and the next he'll shut down completely and literally disappear from the room. Something small you said scared him. You'll have to wait until he feels brave enough to come back, and then he'll be ready to talk again.

💖 - Loyal! Protective of you, if you're the type who enjoys someone looking out for you. He will defend you and your name, even when you aren't there. Especially if you aren't there. Nobody talks shit about his loved ones. Nobody.

💚 - Nobody... talks shit about his loved ones... Nobody... He is stalking them and haunting them everywhere they go now.

We have several aces here at the Haunted Office!

Cyrus and Aurora are both Asexual!

And each of the Days are Demisexual!

:D

Elaborating a little bit on the constant feeling of being watched in the Haunted Office.

Well.

You sort of are!

Sort of.

I say sort of because while there technically are two beings observing the entire Office at any given time, they are both also not observing the entire Office at any given time. And here's why:

It's simply not possible. The Office is too large. There are ten floors to the Office, plus a sprawling basement (not including the Mind Control Facility), and at least 600 employees who each had their own Office or cubicle. And then there are the meeting rooms, the employee lounges, the storage rooms, the closets, the maintenance room, and so on. There are literally hundreds of rooms in this building. It isn't possible to view all of them at once.

Cyrus himself is in the control room, which is a pretty small room that has just a cot in it, a couple of desks, filing cabinets, and then his multiple monitors where he views all the rooms in the Office, and his control panels and microphone that he uses to communicate through the speaker system throughout the Office. The monitors are set up in a way that view the rooms by floor, and then rotate through the rooms. However, some of the rooms are off limits - i.e. rooms that are occupied. Cyrus isn't monitoring the rooms people live in, like Thursday's room or Doomsday's room, or any room where any of their guests are staying. It's rude, and nobody wants that. He only monitors the rooms and hallways that nobody lives in. And it's impossible for him to have eyes on every space in the Office at any given time.

It's sort of the same with Dorian, even though it is the Office. Technically speaking, every space inside and outside of the building is its "eyes". It can see everything inside and outside of itself. It can't see inside of objects that are inside of it (i.e. a box sitting in a room - it would not be able to see inside of that box), but it can see everything inside of itself. But it can't see everything all at once. There is too much to keep track of, especially when there are things and creatures moving around inside and outside of it. It's like looking at a huge wide open field, and in that huge wide open field there are a bunch of marbles rolling around, and you are given a bunch of telescopes. You can only view the field and the marbles through the telescopes. So while technically you can see the field at any time, zoom in and zoom out, and you know the marbles are there, it's difficult to keep track of them and to keep track of more than one at the same time, even when you know there are a bunch of them out there rolling around, simply because of how your "eyes" work. Hopefully that made sense. >>

So yeah, while on one hand, you are constantly being "watched" while at the Office, there's also a pretty good chance you aren't due to the sheer hugeness of the Office and how small you are in comparison.

I still wouldn't want to be caught doing anything embarrassing in there, though. You never know when both Cyrus and Dorian might happen to look at you at the same time and call you out on it. :p

Judd Legum at Popular Information:

Last week, Popular Information broke down the "offer" that the Trump administration was making to millions of federal employees to induce them to resign voluntarily. The Trump administration wanted federal employees to believe that if they agreed to resign effective September 30, they would receive their full pay until then and not have to work for the next eight months. Elon Musk, who engineered the deal through the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), claimed on X that "[t]hose deciding to take the deferred resignation deal can do anything they want for the next eight months and are not required to work at all whatsoever." Many media outlets amplified this false narrative. The offer was widely reported as a "buyout," even though it did not include a lump sum payment or terminate the federal employees' work obligations. The fine print of the deal, which at the time was detailed in an email and series of online FAQs, made it clear that employees could be required to work until their official resignation date. This means that federal employees could be agreeing to resign in exchange for nothing. So far, about 20,000 federal workers, approximately 1% of the federal workforce, have accepted the offer, a Trump administration official told Axios. In a typical year, about 6% of the federal workforce turns over, so most of those accepting the deal may have been planning to quit or retire anyway. The administration was hoping to convince 5-10% of federal employees to resign. On Monday, two days before the offer expires, OPM released a new memo and a contract providing more specificity about the terms of the deferred resignation agreement. It is even worse than it initially appeared.

Federal employees agree to resign; the federal government agrees to do whatever it wants

The most important part of the contract released by OPM is Section 13. It states that the federal employees who accept the agreement waive their right to enforce the agreement in court or in any other forum.

[...]

Agencies can rescind the deferred resignation at their sole discretion

The new OPM memo states that "[w]ere the government to backtrack on its commitments, an employee would be entitled to request a rescission of his or her resignation." It is unclear how this would happen, since the government is not committing to do anything in particular, other than exempt workers who agreed to deferred resignation from return-to-office policies.

The so-called “deferred resignation”/”buyout” of federal government employees is a sham tool used to drive out workers and be replaced with those fully aligned with the MAGA agenda, expertise be damned.

My Grandpa supports our current president. And because he took me to the train station today, we listened to his radio on the way there. This is what it said just as we pulled up to the station:

Donald Trump is the Isaac Newton of politics. Joe Biden was the Steven Hawking because they're both dead

What the fuck?! What damage- What the fuck Is wrong with these people?

Jennifer Bendery and Dave Jamieson at HuffPost:

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Tuesday abruptly walked back his directive to federal agencies to fire thousands of probationary employees, a stunning reversal that comes days after a federal judge ruled that the president’s ongoing mass firings of federal workers are probably illegal. In a new memo delivered to the heads of all federal agencies, the Office of Personnel Management ― the human resources agency of the federal government ― says it doesn’t actually have to comply with its previous instructions to fire all probationary employees, or people who have generally held their jobs for a year or less. Instead, per this memo, federal agencies have until Sept. 13 to come up with their own plans for reducing staff. “OPM requests that agencies not issue any agency-specific rules until such rules have been reviewed and approved by OPM,” reads the revised guidance to federal agencies, issued by OPM acting Director Charles Ezell.

The Trump Administration walks back its highly controversial firings of probationary federal employees.

Doomsday isn't a demon, but she'd pretend she was and she'd be delighted. She'd take the kid out for ice cream and stealing some yachts. x)

You’re a demon. One day, you’re summoned into a living room, and an exhausted woman quickly rambles about needing to get to work and being unable to find a sitter before flying out the door. Now, you stand in your summoning circle, a toddler staring wide eyed at you.

I reviewed another opinion for a judge in a case I worked on, and she not only copied my supervisor on an e-mail glowing with praise for my memo and how quick and helpful my editing was, she asked me to call her just so she could 'thank me properly' for explaining a complicated area of the law she was unfamiliar with and 'making her job so much easier.'

^(^o^)^ I am gooooood at what I do and everybody says so!!!

Realizing Doom was handicapped when she was dead because she couldn't see properly in the way that sunlight really bothered her eyes and distorted her vision a lot, and being able to see through objects, plus see souls and how everything was fucked up to her... all of that plus having all five of her senses dulled to nearly nothing.

And now that she's alive, all of her senses back in full, now her vision is still handicapped. Her living, human eyes are still fucked up with nearsightedness and astigmatism. And now her Reaper eyes are handicapped as well, because she can't see souls as clearly as she could before. Whereas before they were very clearly defined shapes and colors, now they're muted, and she can't see them well unless she closes her eyes and "looks" at them through her eyelids. There's nothing she can do to help her Reaper vision either - it's something that only Reaper ghosts have and the only reason she still has any of it at all is because of the Dampening energy in her soul.
