"We did. We have been waiting awhile. Now we would like some help."
It was crazy busy and I passed by the line just so I could look at the products and then gtfo.
It was then I realized I was taking pictures, had glasses on, a similar outfit to the employees, and looked like I knew what I was doing. I also work in the tech industry so I am used to fixing devices myself so it was probably how I carried myself too.
I told her that I do not work here and that yes it could be more efficient how they help to try and end the conversation quickly.
She smiled and said, "You should. You would be helpful."
I am thinking in my head... No ducking thanks. I worked a lot of customer service jobs and would rather jump off a bridge than do that again. Sorry for folks doing retail/fast food/etc.
And an Apple store seems like a special kind of hell with the clientele.

I think the idea came to us after mr. Garibaldis funeral. He was our junior high gym teacher, a loveable nut job, and I think just about everybody liked him. We went to the service of course, and as we passed by the excavator in the graveyard I remember Nate saying something like being buried alive is my worst fucking fear.
We stopped and peered down the hole. It wasn’t finished yet, the ground more or less frozen solid, but they were about halfway done. I could see Nate shuddering as he carefully glanced over the edge. I think Frank noticed his reaction too, and he gave me weak nod as I raised my eyebrows.
Now, it’s important to know that Nate was a real prankster. He loved fucking us over, Frank and me, and he’d been taking great pleasure in doing so for the better part of our lives. The three of us go back all the way to kindergarten, and I remember very vividly the first time he pranked me; he pulled out the chair from under me as I sat down, and I ended up sprawling on the floor helplessly.
Since then his pranks have evolved into more sophisticated shenanigans of course, like bubble-wrapping my car, or shaving Frank’s head while he slept, or sporadically hacking into our social media accounts to change our profile pictures, harmless stuff like that.
But we were getting pretty sick of it. It was like he believed the prankster persona to be the cornerstone of his identity; like he’d cease to exist without it. Like his entire life revolved around fucking people over. It was getting pretty fucking tiresome, I’ll tell you that much.
So Frank and I had been discussing it for weeks. How to prank him back. How to make him realise just how shitty it can make you feel. Because talking to him about didn’t yield anything. He’d just make excuses, call us pussies or whatever, and eventually just change the subject entirely. So that was that then. We couldn’t resolve it peacefully. We had to hit him back. And hard.
So I came up with the plan. It was pretty straight-forward, but the genius was in the simplicity of it; we’d construct a makeshift coffin (basically a wooden box), get him blackout drunk (no hard feat), and place him in it when he passed out.
We’d nail the thing shut, shovel a handful of dirt around for that extra flair of authenticity, and wait patiently until he woke up, hopefully freaking the fuck out. Then we’d open the box (after letting him sweat for a few minutes), and do the old point-and-laugh.
It was the perfect prank.
Correction; it

Hi all,
I moved from Spain to Sweden recently. Back in Spain I practiced Crossfit for one year until I had to move to Sweden. It’s been six months since I moved and I need to start doing some exercise again.
I liked Crossfit so much when I was back in Spain, I had the feeling that I was going to die after every WOD and I liked that. But now I’m super scared of going back, I earned some kilos (I’ve always been overweight) and training in a foreign country -full of vikings- scares me even more. Crossfit in Sweden is super expensive too comparing to Spain.
Just wanted to share my feelings. I’ll go this Monday to check boxes in Stockholm and start right away if possible. Wish me luck!
Have a nice weekend!
I have heard it’s one of the best games so I have decided not to look up any guides before finishing the game (sadly I had to break it but more on that later).
I got to the part where you lose cappy and a bird holds it. Every time you try to catch it it flies away. After a while cappy says you should try hitting the bird with something from underneath. My brain took that information as “keep going and you will find something later to get this done”.
So I went around to look for stuff, took me like an hour to do the part on the water where you supposed to use the snakes that extend. Instead I was beating myself with these pixel perfect jumps I had to do to get around the logs and collect the moon shards.
Then I moved on to the higher mountain still without the hat. Where I thought you have to jump around those walls, which you have to blow up using your hat and the mob that spawns there.
If you time it right you can jump out, turn back press ZF and y do a second jump and make your way on the other side of the wall. I used to play a lot of movement game mods in counter strike so I thought that’s how the devs have intended to do it. Anyway after the first wall there is a second one which is twice as thick which you also have to get through to reach the next check point.
I was on my second hour of these jumps lost probably over 1k coins to dying when I gave up and looked it up how to get the hat back. Now I hope I don’t have to tell you how stupid I have felt when I realised I just have to ground pound at the bird to get may hat back.
From the hype of getting the hat back I did booth wall jumps perfectly (at this point I still haven’t realised it you could just pass cappy to those mobs and they will blow up the wall for you so you don’t have to jump around them).
After that the rest of the moons were pieces of cake.
Tl:Dr; I promised myself not to look up clues on how to proceed which I have broken but still finished the level without the help of it.
Ps; I know I’m late to the party, I just got a switch and I felt like shearing this story.
This is the way.
And here I am, haven't touched Bungie's franchise since I got Anthem ,,,after reading so many bad reviews I was pretty exceptical but when I saw the game at 10 bucks I said "What the hell?" You know what? Best decision I ever made!!!!! The game is a blast!!!!!! The campaign was average at best BUT the gameplay, the movement and the visuals are outstanding and I am enjoying every single second out of it.
Don't get me wrong, I am a hardcore Destiny player and still love the game , I will be back at it eventually, but Bioware must have worked A LOT to make Anthem this good since it was released, because right now it has become one of my fav games of the year and I am hooked...and before someone talks about the lack of a poper endgame, let me tell you something: getting legendary gear feels rewarding and makes me feel like I am a God, some weapons and gear are game changers and make the game 100 times more fun
So guys, do¡t believe the storm of BS Bioware has been getting surrounding this game....right now it's a MUST TRY experience for many players...and if you are like me and loved Mass Effect 3 MP, this is gonna be THE GAME for U
It is by far better in the long run. That is all I have to say. Guys feel free to explain below what I mean by this
there are so many cool hats why do people just wear baseball caps? im from england so i probably cant wear a cowboy hat in the street but i totally want to!!
is it just me or does anyone else REALLY want to wear big hats everyday!!
It's strange to me how happy I feel now that I've picked the date. I feel at peace with the idea, but I haven't made any specific plans yet on the method.
The reasons why I'm suicidal and why I'm moving are really similar. I feel so broken and tired. I've battled mental illness for 12 of the 24 years I've been alive. It's really drained me and robbed me of my full potential. Whenever I seem to find a little bit of calm in between big storms, things come crashing down.
I'm a high functioning depressed person. I have an active social life. I have a good job. I have some good hobbies. I try to see a therapist and take medication. But deep down, there's a lot of darkness I carry. Nobody knows at work that I constantly question how I should take my life everyday, or if life is worth living. It's the first thought through my head when I wake up. When I've tried to open up to people, they treat me like I'm a burden or a liability. I feel so trapped in a persona that I've built for myself - I put up a facade of a happy and energetic person. I decided to set a date to move to leave everything behind and start a new life. But the big secret I carry is I don't want to start over.
I've really struggled. I've taken countless meds, I've seen a therapist for over three years. I've learned to lie to my boss or people close to me about how I've been feeling. I'm really tired. I tried to kill myself when I was 12 and got hospitalized. I thought that was a low point I would rebuild from. Six years later, when I was 18, my girlfriend hung herself. This year, I got diagnosed with bipolar II. I'm sick of countless crazy side effects from these psychiatric drugs. I don't want to keep having to try to fight this for the rest of my life.
So in 26 days, my friends will all get together for one last party. They'll say their goodbyes, and they'll make peace with not seeing me again for a long time. I think this is the time I'm going to do this. I could move 800 miles away, but that only brings me opportunity to just get hurt again. I don't want to live anymore. I love the people in my life so much, but I can't carry this anymore. I want to die so badly.
I know this will break some people close to me. That tears me up so bad. But in the end, this is something I need to do for myself.
They've got six or so games where they could theoretically catch up with tigers. If they're still at the bottom and in a relegation scrap, can the Leicester players choose to stay back as well? They have just as many big names with the england squad.
Is that all down to players choice? Or is there any sort of precedent for RFU to give permission etc.
Seems a slippery slope to give one team a free pass so to speak. Would it have still been as acceptable if Mark Wilson said no to six nations last year to help Newcastle? I doubt he would've got anywhere near the squad again if he did. (For the record think he's an amazing player, dont mean that as a comparison between him and sarries or tigers players.)
Might be overthinking it completely. But it came up in a conversation at work so thought I'd get Reddit's thoughts.
