Looks like we're about to find out, once and for all, what comes first!
There is nothing wrong with a person doing what they please with their money. That’s the whole point of having decentralized cryptocurrency. If someone wants to have 80% of their portfolio in the big dogs and 20% in SHIB, who cares? The righteousness of this sub is boring. Do you, and let everyone else do them.
A lot of Jud Fry creeping in the woodshed vibes 🤢
In episode 1, Torres presses Sam about Steve, saying there's a rumor that he's on the moon. They know the audience would be curious to know Steve's whereabouts, so they acknowledge the question exists in a humorous way, without really answering it.
In the finale, Sam says, "he's gone." That can mean he died, or it can mean he left. Sam and Bucky almost certainly know the answer, but they are not shown elaborating on it for our benefit. For the purposes of FWS story, all we need to know is that Steve is no longer in their lives.
It's intentionally vague so that Marvel has flexibility if/when there is a story to tell later.
After scrapping my too complicated skincare regimen from last year, I am finally at the point where I have three solid products that I use consistently and seem to work for me, so I was ready to add in another and start targeting my hyperpigmentation.
First time physically shopping in ages (got that second shot yo!) and I wanted to stop into Sephora with the sole purpose of finding a vitamin c to add to my routine. She saw me looking, came up and told me her credentials etc etc and was pretty assertive in that general salesperson way, but I was genuinely looking for some recommendations so whatever. The basic gist of the story is she was trying to steer me away from getting a vitamin c and instead get an exfoliate because vitamin c wouldn’t absorb on top of dead skin. My issue was that she didn’t recommend me multiple options, just one that she kept raving about, so it made the conversation feel less about helping me and more about selling to me.
Looking back, there are multiple points in the convo that really bother me, but I wanted to hone in on a few that are especially problematic/ frustrating.
After she asked me my current routine was AGHAST that I use cerave as my cleanser. “I can recommend you 100 products that are 1000 times better that that but whatever you want”
asking if my doctor okayed that cleanser when I was prescribed tretinoin and then saying that most dermatologists just okay the same two or three cleansers because it’s easy
After getting me to try a moisturizer I told her it was nice but I was happy with mine and also didn’t want to spend $70 every time I needed to replace it, she said “well just to let you know the average price point in Sephora is about $60”
There are definitely more instances but this is already getting too long anyway. To me the whole thing came off as so pretentious, like skin care is an elite club. BUT SHIT it was so annoying because I totally do need an exfoliant (I say as I stare at flaking skin on my face from my tret use...)
Everyone is different. I’ve struggled so much with my skin in the last few years and I hate feeling like crap because I don’t want to change up the one freaking product I’ve found that works for me, despite it being something I can pick up at the drug store. But also, thank you obnoxious salesperson because you’re probably right. I can’t start fading these stubborn dark spots until I slough off all this extra crap on my face.
Edit: Oh BOYYYYY. I did not expect this to get as muc

I just took a red pill and had a realization that Netflix is behind this in attempt to shut down GME & AMC.
They did it with blockbuster but they were more vocal about it, and in turn their stock price plummeted for 4 years because the people found out what they did after they went under and hiked prices by 60%. but that was soon forgotten
-Netflix still has a mail out service, it would be lucrative if they put GME out of business and take over
- It would be great if Netflix could take over in person movie theaters..
Netflix has a history conducting hit jobs on struggling companies and stepping into their shoes.
The Motive is there so who owns institutional shares in Netflix? Well for starts.. Citadel owns $4.7B

Follow the monies....
I welcome to your thoughts
Mods changed it to shit post
Edit: If successfully completed Netflix would set itself apart from the competing streaming services and would start to step into Amazon's financial realm.

The Suns drastic turn around has been impressive, with a record of 40-15, on pace for 60 wins. Devin Booker is finally winning at the age of 24, but they aren’t just winning, they are now officially contenders according to the Phil Jackson rule, joining the Jazz as the second team to surpass 40 wins before 20 losses.

Ask for permission before recording the lectures. Edit 1: These worked for me in engineering graduate school and my professors were amazing. Don't beat me up for the "any class" please. These are not universally valid.
There has been a lot of discourse around Handmaids Tale and if the show has ventured into torture-porn and the answer is yes. Episode 3 was literally just a filler episode watching women die without a second thought. The show has nothing to say about the systemic abuse of women, the patriarchy, violence against women, rape culture, corruption, politics, none of the themes explored in the original source material. It has just resorted to feeding the female characters into a meat grinder for them to be spit out into bloody chunklets while soft indie music plays in a slo-mo shot so the showrunners can scoop up some awards and jerk-off about how "woke" they are.
What is most frustrating about this show is the way it insists upon itself. It is attempting to portray meaningful sentiment about the women it brutalises - and the message is what? What is the show trying to say to us when June has to watch two women be pushed off a building in front of her eyes? Or watching women get hit by a train? We spent a 60 minute episode watching women be beaten, raped and killed and for what? Is June somehow more motivated? Did their deaths serve any purpose? Do they advance the plot? Is the show trying to discuss the brutality of war? No because they were killed by a fucking freight train! (btw, Elizabeth Moss directed this episode. As the director (and producer) of this episode/show - does she not have anything to say about the onslaught of senseless violence against women that she's now portraying)?
Simultaneously, the show does nothing to punish the abusers. Janine, Alma and the others aren't given the opportunity to confront Aunt Lydia. When given the opportunity - June doesn't call her an enabler of rape or a murderer of women - not in any meaningful way. Serena is portrayed as a victim of Fred's abuse even after she acknowledged (to Fred) that she enabled the rape of a 9 month pregnant June. Serena has never been directly called a rapist or a sex trafficker.
As if it could be any more frustrating, the show thinks viewers are tuning in to watch the June/Nick/Luke love triangle and cheer June on as she runs into the arms of Nick - forgetting that Nick had a man shot in front of her (his blood and brains sprayed across her face) and when he attempts to apologize (lol wtf?!) she stops him, runs into his arms and professes her love for him! The woman just watched three people die and her daughter was almost killed in front of her! Not to mention she was recently wate

My boyfriend and I went to a restaurant (with socially distant outdoor seating) for dinner on Easter. The whole shtick of the restaurant was the 90+ beers on tap. When we got there, the hostess let us know their CO2 had blown and they were working on getting a new one, and she wouldn't be upset if we wanted to leave. We ended up staying anyways, and I'm glad we did.
I used to work as a server, so I could tell right away they were in the weeds. The service was still great, and they did their absolute best.
I asked for a cup of ranch to go with my fries, and the server forgot to bring it out. He remembered halfway through the next time he checked in, and immediately began profusely apologizing. I interrupted him right away with "Don't even worry about it. I've been there before. It's all good."
I could SEE the relief wash over him. I'm talking his whole body relaxed as he asked "you're a server?" I told him I used to and that I know exactly what he's going through right now. He relaxed even more and began describing the hell shift he was working.
It was nice to see how he relaxed when he realized I was a server and wasn't going to blow up on him, but it made me a bit sad that servers/retail workers/etc have been so conditioned to automatically expect abuse from customers.
