Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I'll never know, because I didn't become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

My favorite version of this was an ad for applebees that said "you belong here!". Like, I know that they meant it to be welcoming, but it came across as vaguely threatening ...

I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

One of my favourite quotes from the show.
Glad I'm not the only one that remembers it.

It’s easily one of my favorite TV shows of all time.

Though the line that’s been rolling through my head since Gaza started is Delenn getting pissed at Lando and G’kar, shouting “When does it end?!” That rant is…. Piercing.

Yeah, I thinnk it's time for antoher rewatch… again.

The show had so many good and memorable things. It's kinda sad though that so many things from this show are still relevannt today.

anatomically impossible, Mr. Garibaldi. but you're welcome to try... anytime."

(good god did Walter Koenig play that role. it's incredibly different from Chekov, and he was amazing at both. and wow are the one liner's in bab5 just... memorable.)

If you're looking for things that still have an enduring relevance today... check out the OG the Day the Earth Stood Still not the remake with keanu reeves. that one deserves the George Lucas Holiday Special™️treatment. It's classic 1950's scifi at it's peak. (yes, that's easily my favorite movie. hands down.)

Oh yeah, that's a movie that's been on my "to watch list" for a long time. Same as the Kurosawa Samurai movies. I really should get around to watch them finally. 😞

Man with how much of my life was front loaded with suffering I wish I could just use it as a "get out of current issue free" card.

I find it very unfair actually how few people actually have to face consequences for their actions in meaningful ways. I don't want them repeating them.
