Slowly turning into a Life in Hell strip

Even then, it’s still just trying to duplicate the environment that I create for myself at home, and I know where that exists already.

Oh thank god, I was worried brows would continue to remain unfurrowed.

This is how most supermarkets (Walmart/Kroger/Target, etc.) in the U.S. look brand new - they’re effectively warehouses that sell product directly to customers. Smaller shops and boutiques have finished ceilings that hide the ductwork and such because they’re meant to be more flexible commercial/office space, but large stores like this do not, except for specialized locations like electronics, jewelery, or pharmacy, that can be gated off from the rest of the inside of the building for reduced operation and security.

I mean, okay, but how much of anything can get hit by lightning and not be a smoldering crater without proper grounding and such?

Of course without committing a crime before and without saying anything else.

You will probably commit a crime or misdemeanor unknowingly on the way to the station. There is a reason you do not talk to the police, even if you think you’re completely innocent.

It’s an unfortunate fact of life, you’ll find sycophants no matter where you go.

Having all the existing connections probably doesn’t hurt either. If your daddy already knows the people who will make your budding enterprise a success, you have a lot lower chance of missing that dart toss. Not zero, but it’s like getting to take three big steps over the line.

Because having money blunts your empathy.

Used to work in a painting hangar and guys would regularly pilfer supplies. For most people it was just touch up brushes or minijet cups for minor stuff at home, but some people would be stealing whole rolls of masking tape, suits and hoods, sandpaper, bottles of rubbing alcohol and acetone, etc.

I know at least one guy who confided in me that he made a mint stealing supplies and painting cars on the side. He said the only thing he paid for was paint. I think the only reason nobody ever got called out on it was because our work was so good we were a preferred painter for UAE and Qatar planes, so everyone in the C-Suite was making millions of dollars and paying jack shit to the workers, and I’m guessing they figured the shrinkage was an acceptable cost of doing business.

Lol you think anyone gives 100% effort to their job? Not even the CEO cares that much.

Yeah but employers want to be the only party who can have their cake and eat it by giving one person the work of three people and calling them ‘cross-trained.’

Lol of course not, it’ll be Trump stickers this time.

Nobody’s lazy, we’re just reserving the best part of our time for ourselves.

Me over here with 40mbps taking days to download games.

Also the shmutz on that student’s desk.

I’m torn between those two, the looming financial crisis as the housing market collapses like 2008 all over again, and WWIII getting underway as we speak. It’s a real Apocalypse How in this bitch.

We all know damn well the four day week inevitably comes with a pay cut. Big business won’t cede anything without getting theirs back.

Still all for it. Four day workweeks are better for the environment and mental health.

These requirements are such horseshit. What’s the point of making everything look hyperrealistic at 4K if nobody can run the damn game without raiding NASA’s control room for hardware?
