I’m trying to give someone advice on choosing a career that will suit them better than the one they’re in and hate.

I had known for a long time that I wanted to do something creative. Throughout highschool I was lucky enough to be able to take various classes that would allow me to try out different things. I ruled out music and was struggling to decide if I wanted to be an illustrator of some kind or an interior designer or maybe an architect? But then I took a class called “computer graphics” which was a stupid name for the class. It was actually a class about graphic design and it seemed to fit into everything I do well just perfectly. Looking back it was way more obvious that I should be a graphic designer as I used to do things for fun like doodle out magazine layouts and make weird computer art for icons and things back when that was how the Internet worked. Like what kind of kid does that for fun? A future graphic designer apparently.
I was going to say something similar. Nobody sells small cars anymore. And if they do, they try as hard as they can to get you to buy something else. I’m currently trying to buy a Prius and I have one on hold, but it won’t be available for months and when we went to various dealers, they just didn’t have any to test drive and instead wanted us to test drive their SUVs. I’ve never wanted a large car. In fact, I would prefer if my next car was a small electric hatchback, but they just don’t sell that here in the US.
While I think this is a step in the right direction, I don’t think it’s fair to put this on the grocers that didn’t do anything wrong. This should be a labeling requirement for the manufacturer that’s doing it. So instead of the one doing the harm having to take the brunt of the cost for doing it in the first place, instead the grocer has to take the time and money to do it and also keep up with any new changes. Again, step in the right direction. Never let perfect be the enemy of good.
You guys… I think we can all agree that actual desert pizza is good. And I also think we can agree that the things that are on this “pizza” are also individually good. However… This is literally just a piece of store bought naan with Nutella smeared on it with Oreos, candy, and unmelted marshmallows. It looks like what a 5 year old would put together. I love dessert pizza, I love Oreos and shit, but this is definitely a food crime and I 100% agree with OP for posting it here.
You joke, but when my parents bought an electric car, the cops in their small town started harassing them. My mom drives like a saint but they keep pulling her over and giving her tickets that aren’t valid. She said she’s caught them waiting for her to leave the grocery store so they can follow her out of the parking lot and try to catch her doing something wrong. But she doesn’t, so they just pull her over anyway. This isn’t even in a rural town where people are rolling coal. It’s just a small suburb. Why do they care?
Last year I went blueberry picking the day before I had to leave for vacation. So I took a quart-size bag of blueberries on the plane with me and ate those the whole way there. 10/10 best plane snack I’ve ever had!
They are when the temperature is still relatively sane but uncomfortable. But once you get into severe temperature zones, it don’t mean shit. Like yeah 90F in Chicago is gonna feel about as hot as 110F in Phoenix because of the humidity. Anything over that is just reeeeeeeel fuckin hot regardless. I just spent a week in the Grand Canyon last summer and you use all kinds of innovative ways to stay cool in the 120F heat. But for some reason in the early evening when it would hit 130F it just felt like an oven no matter what you did. 10/10 trip tho would absolutely do it again!

What’s your recipe? I tried making marmalade a couple of times and I found it was too thick and bitter. I suspect that there was too much orange peel vs juice and sugar. But I haven’t really found a good explanation yet for what happened. Do you make yours by measuring or weighing the ingredients or do you just use x amount of oranges?
This movie is less about being mad at Nazis and more of making you look deep inside yourself and ask if you wouldn’t have done something similar. It’s more about watching regular people live their lives and they just happen to be Nazis who are heavily involved in the Holocaust. A particular scene I think about a lot involves a board room where people are talking about seemingly normal business activities like funding and logistics. Except they’re actually talking about how to build Auschwitz… but it seems eerily similar to any normal business meeting you might imagine today. That’s what makes this movie so good and so different from most other Holocaust movies. Highly recommend.

If you are under 18 then you are considered a “child” in labor terms. Different states have different laws about people under 18 and work eligibility. In Illinois, I was able to get a job at 15 with a work permit that my school had to sign and very strict rules about what I can and cannot do. They were allowed to pay me less than minimum wage as long as they followed those rules. I don’t think it’s wrong to let teens get jobs and start learning how the working world works and also make a bit of money for whatever they might use it on. But um… Maybe they deserve a lunch break?
That’s a trick they teach you in art school. You can use contrasting colors to make something seem brighter or stand out more than it normally would. In this case, they used blue and orange. A very lovely blue I think.
