Also I saw Fury today with my partner.

She couldn't stop laughing during the scene where the guy gets set on fire and shoots himself in the head to end the suffering because I lent over and said "oh, you know who the gunner is? It's Shia Labeouf."

I'm happy to run it - will look into particulars but should be kind of like running a mafia game.

I'm catching up now, but Coq, there's a site that organizes Secret Santas and lets people submit their preferences for gifts and giftees, etc and handles everything anonymously.

$30 Starbucks gift card

Haha. I had a dream that someone was all "Ugh Starbucks, gross" and then you (I guess, I don't know who else would be pushing Starbucks) made them try some and they grudgingly were like "Err not bad." I don't even like Starbucks so I guess I was just dreaming about smug people eating crow.

multi-religious families are weird, it's p fun if you can pull it off without conflict but given that most other families seem to be one dropped teacup away from murder at all times adding religion to the mix would be a recipe for disaster

My family is either obnoxiously atheist or fundamentalist Christian, so plenty of strife there. Add in my wife's family, though, which is half neo-conservative (not really strongly Christian, but strongly of the belief that Christianity is :siren: under attack :siren: ) and half Muslim. My father-in-law is of the neo-con variety and his own sister converted to Islam. He still says "Bomb all the middle east, kill all towel-heads. [...] Oh, uh, except my sister or her kids I guess."

Our wedding was so close to being a holy war.

soag wants me to ask fruity what she'd get him for secret santa but he doesn't want me to tell her that i asked, but in the interests of diplomacy i will not play his games! ariel would never pussyfoot around a question like that, he'd just march right in and demand to know and probably drop some bombs while he was at it. we should all try to be more like ariel :h:

its weird because they state that "[starbucks] got that way because they sell good products" when the message they convey is "[starbucks] got that way because of aggressive business practices"

I was out getting coffee and I bought a 60c chocolate santa and died in the parking lot of my iga choking on it.

I think maybe there's some deeper meaning that can be read into that.

i worked for iga once. they hired me as a permanent part-time checkout chick and on the first shift said "ok so you don't get any paid holiday leave or sick leave or guaranteed weekly hours because we pay you a higher hourly rate to make up for that in advance!" and i was like "uh that's the definition of a casual?" and they said "well we're a queensland-based company so we hire based on queensland rules and in queensland that's called permanent part-time" (this was oxford st, sydney). anyway the shop had just re-opened after a long closure due to total dilapidation, and they hired a million staff members and there just wasn't enough for all of us to do so every shift there'd be one person serving the occasional customer and twelve others milling around doing face-ups on all the merchandise to look busy, and all the "permanent part-time" staff got their hours progressively cut and cut and cut until we were all doing approximately one four-hour shift per week and people were complaining because they couldn't pay their rent. then one day they just never called me in again and i went off and became a dog-walker instead.

It's much more efficient now, we just replace everyone with machines and never call the casuals back. None of that messy stuff.
