Trent Reznor is a much better composer and songwriter than he is a singer anyways. Even Devo covering head like a hole is better than the original.

The grave one might be useful, a lot better then trying to bury someone in an open grave the night before a funeral

If you're going to bury someone in a graveyard you're supposed to do it the night after they bury someone else in that hole.

Does that oats thing only apply to the ground beef then? Pretty hard to buff up grilled chicken or steak (even granting that we’re not talking usda prime here) with filler.

Or is that another citation needed?

When there we're all of those rumors going around about fake beef at Taco Bell they released a statement saying the ground beef was 88% meat 12% water oats and spices.

If Guy Fieri actually was homophobic I'm pretty sure someone other than a guy that blames him for getting fired would have made allegations against him by now. Guy Fieri is pretty open about the fact that he's just putting on an act to reach an audience that isn't normally into cooking.

He might've been before or maybe he still is, I'm not sure, but back in 2015 he did officiate 101 gay weddings after his sister died. So maybe he is and changed his mind after that, or he still is, I dunno, but he seems to be having a net positive effect on things.

Basically one guy who had just been fired made those accusations and everyone just assumed it was true because they wanted to believe it. It's been seven years without anyone corroborating it.

She managed to turn her reality TV appearance into a successful enough rap career to end up with a billboard award nomination and recently got into a rap beef with an even younger troubled teen rapper and a random 9 year old girl who keeps showing up at places with suspiciously large amounts of cash.

Hi.

I work for the NSPH as a paid crisis worker, and before that I was a volunteer. Pranks are most definitely a thing we deal with on a nightly basis. Most of the time, we can tell if someone is pranking us and we end the call quickly, but on occasion, some rear end in a top hat will go all in on it, and one of us (not me so far, thankfully) will spend 10 minute talking about their pain and loss before the hilarious Minecraft joke comes out and they hang up. And every call into the hotline requires a call report. And every time a prank caller says they are having thoughts of suicide and then hangs up on us, we are required to call them back unless we are absolutely 100000004% certain it was a prank. And then, when they inevitably don't answer, we are required to schedule a follow up call so that we can try and contact them one more time to make sure they are all right. And when we make that follow up, we have to make notes on the call whether it goes to voicemail or results in us talking to them. And then if we don't talk to them, we have to get final permission to close the follow up. Oh, and supervisors have to review every call report involving a suicidal individual unless we're absolutely certain it was a prank.

Prank calls eat up a massive amount of time that we don't have.

And gently caress. If one minor calls in a prank about another minor, that's everything above times three as we attempt to involve parents as well.

Also, like you said, people get put on hold because we're underfunded and colossally, mindfuckingly understaffed. For example, on most weekend nights, when many people are feeling their most isolated and vulnerable and alone, we'll have two people on the lines at our particular call center, answering calls for five different hotlines. Obviously I can't give any specific details, but I regularly spend over an hour on calls with people who are scarfing down pills mid conversation, or standing on bridges, or staring at a loaded gun. If both people working the lines are taking a call like that, yeah, people are gonna wait on hold. It sucks. It sucks to put one suicidal person on hold to bounce between calls with two other suicidal people. It sucks to have to end a call with a recent sexual trauma victim because you need to be able to give 100% of your attention to the drunk heartbroken dude who is on the verge of driving straight into oncoming traffic or whatever.

Add in the fact that it takes a certain kind of person to voluntarily spend their free time immersed in other people's misery, and you can see the issue here. Staffing is gonna be a problem. This is where volunteers come in. If you think there's a remote possibility that you could handle it, go find a local crisis line and look into volunteering. I make it sound horrific, and it is, but I also genuinely know that I have the best job in the world. I really do. As I'm headed home after a long, draining shift, I'm on top of the loving world, because chances are I stopped someone from doing something they'd very likely regret, and I've been told by multiple people that calling us helped them turn their life around.

So go get immersed in misery in your free time and make it so that someone at their lowest point doesn't have to wait on hold. It'll seriously change you in the best way possible.

This is a McDonald's drive through.
