This AI thing only cements that idea. I’m directly referring about his opinions on “fixing american politics” because thats my area of expertise and I know better than to speak outside of it, cough cough.
Hank green has always had Neil Degrasse Tyson vibes to me - expert in One Specific Field who thinks he can proselytize his opinions on everything to a large audience because he is considered generally smart but is actually very uninformed
very short window of time for eating Hot Pockets. can’t go too fast or you will burn the ever-living shit out of your mouth….but can’t go too slow or your brain realizes Hot Pockets aren’t very good
Am i crazy if i say no? Like obviously there will be other drinks so its fine but depending on how strong they are 1 jello shot is like, 1/3 a regular shot and ten per person probably isnt enough to get anyone more than a little tipsy
@monicalavella When i was in HS our school had an incomplete system where if you didnt turn in an assignment at all they still gave you 50%. It made it so that doing a sub par job was sometimes worse than doing nothing at all. Most kids did maybe half their assignments and passed with a B
Today is the Met Gala. Here are some things to keep in mind while engaging in Met Gala discourse:
— The Met Gala is a fundraising event that supports the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute.
— The Costume Institute preserves historical garments, curates public exhibitions, and educates people on how clothing reflects and shapes culture.
— In a political climate when public arts funding is being limited or contested, private fundraising efforts like this are even more important.
— Many organizations hold galas to raise money for their missions. This includes organizations focused on the arts, LGBTQ+ rights, environmental justice, and medical research. The Met is not the only institution that holds galas.
— The Met Gala raises money through ticket sales. Major fashion houses such as Gucci often purchase entire tables and invite celebrities to attend the event in their designs. For brands, this functions as a form of marketing, similar to advertising or runway shows. But here, that spending also helps fund a public cultural institution.
— Members of the public can later visit the museum and see exhibitions that contextualize fashion as part of cultural history. And their tickets are relatively affordable because they have been subsidized by these fundraisers.
— Not all clothing is meant to be practical or "presentable" by conventional standards. Some garments are made as artistic statements. Even if you wouldn’t wear something to the office, you can still appreciate the creativity and technical craft behind it.
— Events like this provide work for countless tailors, embroiderers, textile specialists, and artisans. These people often work on other types of cultural productions, such as the costuming for films, theatre, and TV shows. The Met Gala helps sustain these craft industries and thus keeps the production quality high for the areas of culture you care about.
— Traditional black tie is never wrong for a gala. In fact, this is how men traditionally dressed for the Met Gala for much of this event's history. Not everyone has the personality to pull off an avant-garde outfit, so they shouldn't be forced into one.
Donald Trump warns Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting amendment tomorrow, he will lose power:
“If the Democrats get additional House seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”
It was incredibly dangerous and wilding stressful for Everyone including the patrons, the other staff AND him. He eventually got fired for manhandling a kid who got too close to him. It’s not discrimination, it’s safety.
I used to work as a safety manager/first responder and management hired a very low functioning person with down syndrome to work a crowd management role and it was a HUGE safety problem. He couldn’t call 9/11, couldn’t use the walkies, and couldn’t handle customer service.
wait until you find out that people with certain disabilities cannot safely perform certain jobs and that it is not discrimination to prioritize patient safety in the er
She was like “I’m so sorry” and I had to be like *sniff sniff* “no its ok its really *sniff* fine” and she for sure thought I was weeping over this bread pastry
Me and my partner were at a coffee shop over spring break and while waiting for my croissant I had to call the bank. They told me my card was used fraudulently + had to cancel it + freeze all my accounts + 3+ days to ship me a new one. So i just had no money over spring break -
And I was telling all this to my partner and finally I just go “And they forgot my croissant!” And just started crying hard. My partner got up to get me some napkins and asked about it and the barista brought the food over in the middle of me still visibly crying. -
