So True.

That's a Rose Tyler quote

Companies are no longer grounded in reality.

My roommate recently came home pale-faced, like he’d seen a ghost. More like witnessed a massacre. Mass-firings were just done at his company. His job, he’d been assured, was safe. All of his coworkers weren’t so safe, and he had to get texts and phone calls from his work-friends, people he’d worked alongside for years, people he‘d gone out to have drinks with, learn they were no longer employed. To say he had survivor’s guilt would not be hyperbole.

Was this because the company had fallen on hard times? The pandemic has been rough for a lot of industries. No, actually, the company had turned a very nice profit both last year and previous, even in such a troublesome market.

The problem was, you see, the company’s stock price hadn’t risen quite as high as had been projected. They’d made money, sure. Quite a lot of money, in fact. But too many people had projected, i.e., bet the company would do better.

How did the company offset this “loss”? Easy: fire people. Quickest and easiest way to pad the numbers.

No but you don’t understand stock had fallen a percentage point! There was no other way!

We see it all the time. Hugely successful companies reporting ‘record-breaking’ profits then fire huge segments of their workforce - the very people responsible for those record-breaking profits. Why? The money “saved” on personnel costs can boost the stocks even higher!

If your company is struggling, not turning a profit, losing money, people expect layoffs. But to work hard, be successful, your company churning along strong and healthy, and you still lose your job? For what? Because half a percentage point that was dictated by speculation, guessing, by gambling that things would go up or down a certain amount on a graph of rich-people feelings?

I wonder how next year’s speculations will be affected with the information that the company laid off a lot of the people responsible for last year’s profits? Probably not much because the workers are just the components at the company; it’s the leadership that drives the ship, that makes the successes. Those leaders whose bonuses are coincidentally decided by, among other things, the stock price.

Companies are no longer grounded in reality.

Fuck me. No... just no

Reasons why Mary Winchester should've stayed dead

I don’t know what most think about Mary Winchester but lemme tell you why I don’t like her. These are my reasons.

1. She’s been dead too long and to bring her back now seems pointless really. Pointless and awkward having her around. It’s not her time so she has to waste time ‘catching up’ and learning everything while having to deal with her back into their lives. As if they don’t have enough on their plate.

2. I think her character is dull and boring and maybe a little cold at times and manipulative.

3. She betrayed them. She helped the British men of letters despite what they did to Sam (her SON) and the fact they can’t exactly be trusted.

4. She put them in danger and lied to them. The incident with Ramiel was her fault. She had what he wanted and could have spoken up about it and spared them but chose not to. Cas almost DIED because of it and if not for Crowley, he would have. His blood would have been on her hands and for what?! To help the BMOL?! Unbelievable. She put her kids in danger and almost got their best friend killed and still didn’t bother to admit what she’d done. Every mother knows you NEVER put your kids in danger, not for anything. Even John Winchester would never do that and I’m certain he’d be ashamed of her actions.

5. She lied. She lied about wanting space and time to them. She lied to their faces and more than once.

6. Justification. She tried to justify her actions to Dean when he found out what she’d done. Me personally, I’m glad he kicked her out. Good riddance as far as I’m concerned. I don’t trust her…at all.

I feel lonely out here in this desert

Rhaenyra spotting the white stag and sparing its life; Viserys killing a false stag to fulfill the expectations of his lords.

Rhaenyra stabbing the boar to death with the ferocity of a dragon ; Viserys struggling to kill a stag with the support of an entire posse.

Rhaenyra proving herself a Queen worthy of the Seven Kingdoms and being utterly ignored ; Viserys being lauded and praised despite being an utter embarrassment.

I have so many FEELINGS.

younger subs (18-21 year olds) or new to kink subs, please make friends with other subs. please talk to people who aren’t potential partners about your kinks, please create safety nets for yourselves, please don’t let doms hold too much power over you. it’s easy to miss red flags or to misread them as part of the kink, having other subs to check in with can really help you be less vulnerable to manipulation or coercion.

Tips That Can Save Your Kid’s Life.

Yeah. Can't use the whole 'she was asking for it' or 'she was showing (whatever)' anymore. It happens cos some people don't give a shit about how their actions affect others lives and can't keep it in their pants
