"Giving a poo poo" is an extremely uncommon trait Dang, my inspections usually involve student housing with growing levels of cabinet-top booze. I did have an inspection where the PCA guy joked about making the lack of tidiness in one unit a required repair. Not so much filthy as just 5 or 6 college dudes who gave zero fucks.

You need to secure that cash when they’re not looking. Self posting but my coworker gave my wife a funko pop (it’s Britney, b) and I’m very upset about it and it’s going to tear apart our happy home I just know it.

I worked in IT with a guy that had Funkopops at his desk and was super excited about Ready Player One. He was also well dressed, well groomed, physically active, married, and had good social skills. I don’t understand.

What exactly is the appeal of Funkopops? They all look gently caress ugly to me so what, is this another beanie baby fad?

Not only are they ugly, they have poo poo fabrication too. You'd think a simplified plastic doll could at least have clean mold lines and consistently applied paint but they can't even manage that

GoGoGadgetChris posted:I enter people's homes for a living and I can confirm that Funko Pops go hand in hand with mental illness. If there's a single Pop in a household, there is likely to be hundreds more, plus tons of garbage, a dog that shits indoors, kids' bedrooms with no furniture, etc. We only have one. It's of Kevin from Home Alone, given to us at our annual Thriftmas party (all gifts must be $10 or less, chili is served, and it is done White Elephant style). Our dog shits outside. The friend who gave it to us...well, she keeps a pack of Virginia Slims in her freezer and smokes them socially over the span of 3 months. She looks like a brunette Betty Draper when she does. I dunno, I got nothing on her. I did find out that the co-worker I mentioned earlier that somehow has a $2,700 a month apartment on a 50k a year pre-tax salary has NO health insurance. At all. Her basic opinion is that she doesn't want to know if something is wrong, so why bother having it. We all kind of jumped on her for that, so she MIGHT sign up in the next go around, but let's be honest...I don't think she has the $50 twice a month to spare.

But guys, he’s making incredible progress. There’s no upside for her here. If he continues to struggle, she burns money. If he becomes a success he’ll leave her for someone more exciting (because she has no hobbies and works all the time). Also, isn’t doing audio work supposed to be part of the dream? Working in the industry doesn’t mean you’re always the talent. Given the choice of working around music or working around an Excel spreadsheet I’d think he’d still be moderately happy sharing time with both. Barry posted:So.... goons? Is there anyone left on this website that isn't pushing 40? I’m pretty sure everyone in CSPAM and D&D is 13. Edit: I grew up in the &0’s and the whole decade sucked. My kid just recently discovered music from before she was born and she’s all about the 70’s tunes but says 80’s songs sound weird.

I’ve seen this attitude before with writers. Only wanting to do their art or research (in the case of academics) rather than the poo poo that will pay the bills. All of them were trust fund kids who could afford to ignore poo poo like “getting money to pay rent” and “building a career before I’m 40.”

For those of you who miss the Bogwitch, the LA Times has a feature on Witches of Los Angeles. https://www.latimes.com/columnone/la-me-col1-witches-of-los-angeles-20190611-htmlstory.htmlquote:There’s no official list of job duties for witches, no state licensing board that notes educational or training requirements (which means clients proceed at their own risk). Services run the gamut, from herbal workshops to love spells to communing with spirit guides; some witches charge up to $200 an hour for their time. quote:In January, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office released a warning about a blessing scam in which victims, many of them seniors in immigrant communities, were told that a terrible misfortune would befall their family unless a blessing ceremony was performed on their valuables. quote:Daashuur is a former musician and celebrity stylist who now earns her living channeling spirits and sharing their insights with her clients. By the way, if Witches of Los Angeles was a Bravo reality series, I'd watch the gently caress out of it.

On Monday I was at the MOT station, waiting for my car to go through it's MOT. On the TV in the waiting room was one of those British afternoon quiz shows, Impossible. The first guy that got through to the final was asked what he would do with the winnings (potentially £11,500). He said that his daughter wanted a horse, and he wanted a boat. Thankfully, he didn't win.
