Coincidence. The sunshine filter I used in lieu of proper lighting in my kitchen added to the the hue as well.
Seriously though, gotta love those Caniam Ultrasonic lenses. It's like a MAD magazine strip! I've heard Caniam is Carl Zeiss' cousin or something... |

I was 17 when I started posting here, Claire. It may sound hokey and old man-ish, but here is the most earnest advice I would now give myself at that age if I could:
1. Nobody knows wtf is going on, and everyone is flawed. 2. Communication is the most important thing in life ever. Express yourself as much as possible. 3. Laughter is the best medicine, and honesty is the best policy in every situation. 4. Most women have scoliosis and love Taco Bell. 5. Find a creative outlet, and stick with it: writing, photography, guitar, painting, filmmaking, etc. 6. It truly is how you wear it, not what it is. 7. Most of those kids who drink a lot really will become puffy faced alcoholics in less than a decade. The nerds are really the cool adults. 8. Your parents and older relatives are a lot cooler than you think. Constantly remind them how much you love them. 9. Most of the gorgeous people you crush on have no idea how attractive they are. Make them laugh, this always works. 10. Be up front about your feelings towards others, you never know when it might be too late. |

I’ve found #4 to be the most true.

All good advice, following it is the problem.

More like this: I went there so I could go to the cricket game at the stadium nearby. It was a really exciting match. The team I support won, so they're in the final

Don’t take shit from any job. Fuck slimey motherfuckers. My boss just tried to pin some shit on me. Technically it was my error, but he didn’t talk to me about it and the reason for the error was the fact that we’re severely understaffed. The fact is that this was the error of the whole office. He tried avoiding me and when he finally called me, tried telling me it was my mistake. I explained to him that this is an error of management and not me specifically. I called him out on his bullshit and he buckled. Anyway, he cleared it up with corporate now.

Knowing your policies and procedures is very powerful and I applaud you sticking up for yourself! Holding a Supervisors feet to the fire over something you know to be factual and true is the perfect way to handle such situations. Beware retaliation, but also look for yourself being treated with a new level of respect going forward.

There was a post in r/books by some guy who discovered a love of reading while in jail. All day long he would read, finishing 32 books in 4 months, and then for an hour a day he would go and lift weights.
Honestly, it sounds like the perfect life. If I could start life over again, my only two hobbies would be reading books and lifting weights. Maybe I'd learn to play guitar as well... if I really needed something else to do. Why is it that capitalism must force me to do anything other than read books and lift weights? If jt weren't for my claustrophobia, I'd probably take a real liking to jail. |

i've lived under socialism at various times and just no basically when you require that people live for others instead of for themselves you need a bunch of cops to make sure that everyone is toeing along the party line. massive bureaucracies to get anything done... permits permits permits... and then the only way to get shit done is to have "connections" instead of money. "i have friend who knows the minister", that sort of thing. bribes are often required. instead of free lawful exchanges you have patronage and corruption. i mean. if you don't like capitalism, let's put 3 more tenants in your house, and a block captain to report your transgressions. -- seriously, capitalism puts the scarcity problem at the forefront of your decisions. socialism pretends it can do away with scarcity but it's lies. this is why venezuelans can't even buy asswipe or wash their hands with soap. |

alternatively, under "democratic" socialism, since you have a house and other people don't, let's multiply your property taxes by 10 so that the government can build free housing for others.
and if you can't pay your new property taxes your house will be seized by the government. you're now eligible to apply for free government housing. please take a number, stand in line. but hey maybe you know somebody who knows somebody at the housing department or the mayor's office and they can bump you in the line... for discreet fee |
