At work we sell boxes of 5 dozen eggs for $8.48.  Today someone asked me who would ever eat 5 dozen eggs, and I couldn’t resist.

Yet another reason why I hate my job: My manager left for a different store, and rather than look for a replacement management is pushing me into taking the job when I have told them repeatedly that I have no intention of doing so.  Despite saying almost daily that I will not take the position, I’m still asked on a regular basis.

They have known the manager was going to leave for nearly a month, and yet there has been ‘maybe one interview scheduled’ (according to the assistant store director) for the job because they won’t stop harassing me about taking it.

The job in question would double my hours, triple my workload, and would come with a raise, but in moving from wage to salary I would only make around 1.5 times what I make now.  Because I’ve refused the job repeatedly, I still get all of the responsibilities, tasks, and work of the management position, without any raise and if I go over 40 hours I can and will be written up.

I have worked at this store for 6.5 years.  I make only $8.90/hr despite some of the best reviews in the store, and the company.  Behold, retail practices of 'Murica.

kevinliuzzo:

Shortly after the Ferguson shooting, The Economist reported that police in England and Wales fired their weapons a total of four times during the past two years. Four times —meaning in two years they discharged fewer bullets policing 57 million people than were discharged into Michael Brown’s body on one afternoon.

Let that sink in nice and slowly.

I get that, and that’s why I brought up the kind of roles Will Smith is usually cast in.  Will Smith has a very well known face, and a well known voice.  Deadshot is typically a quiet, collected character who often covers the majority of his face.

There are very few times when I don’t mind racebending, and they usually involve me being more familiar with the adaptation than the original characters, like with Disney’s adaptation of Big Hero 6.  Otherwise, racebending bugs the crap out of me.

shadowdragonprincess answered your question:Will Smith has been cast as Floyd Lawton/Deadshot…

I’m more wondering why DC is making a Suicide Squad movie. Trying to do the same thing as Guardians of the Galaxy?

Potentially, but the two aren’t really comparable.  Guardians was a really under-the-radar property to most people, but this Suicide Squad movie is set to have Joker and Harley Quinn, two of the most recognizable comic characters period.  As far as Will Smith as Lawton goes I’m just confused as to why they’ve cast a very well known and recognizable actor who’s usually typecast as the outspoken, snarky character to play a character who’s generally quiet, collected, and has his face covered.  That they’ve cast Smith to play Lawton, who is generally portrayed as white when there are more than a few black villains in DC’s rogues gallery doesn’t help my confusion.

Will Smith has been cast as Floyd Lawton/Deadshot for DC’s Suicide Squad movie.  Why?

Getting real tired of these “How to make Frozen 2 good’ posts real fast.

The film has its flaws, a fair few of them, and so does EVERY OTHER FILM IN EXISTENCE.  People want to like it, and kids (for whom it was made) love it.  Shut the fuck up about Frozen 2 until we’ve seen actual footage, or better yet, until it’s actually out.

You know what’s fun?  Walking into a conversation about you/your work/art/etc. and not having anyone know
