  1. “Never Gonna Give You Up”, then “Tell It To My Heart”, then “Steppin’ Out”, then “Young Turks”. Did my dad program the in-store audio today?

  3. historically, it's difficult to be surprised that this happened - since Carter, Virginia has only ever elected a governor of the same party as the President one time, but that one time was fairly recent so I figured we wouldn't fall for discount Mitt Romney's "I wear jeans and a polo in the suburbs cuz i'm just a normal guy :)" bullmango.

  6. Have I already mentioned that if Glenn Youngkin wins tomorrow I’m gonna use the tax breaks to buy a house in another state? Cos I think it bears repeating.

  7. @scribus The county sheriff would probably help Myers find teenagers to kill tbh, they're worse than useless.

  8. context to my earlier post: i was racially profiled on my way home from work today because i'm brown and have a beard so a cop literally followed me from my store across town to another store because he thought i was doing a terrorism. literally was following me until I parked. saw me get out of my car, THEN made a u-turn and left the parking lot.

  9. you ever wanna shut a whole county down? Just go on the news and say that you have it on good authority that someday there might be an ISIS somewhere and they might do something. That’s apparently all it takes in northern Virginia.

  10. not sure my father knew when he got tickets to the World Series that he’d be sharing a stadium with Donald Trump

  11. @scribus Glenn Youngkin for his part has tried to distance himself from Trump and January 6th mostly because he can’t afford for the DC suburbs to turn out against him and that’s exactly what they’ll do if they think he’s too much like Trump.

  12. @scribus This is more or less the last time in probably a while that Republicans have a shot at winning a statewide election in Virginia, historically we’ve always voted against the incumbent party no matter what but that anti-White House sentiment, while not totally gone (Biden won the state by ten points but polling shows the race as a toss-up) is kind of diminishing (we used to see swings of like twenty points, now it’s closer to five) and by 2025 it’ll probably be gone entirely, so this entire campaign has just been a big last-ditch effort to maybe hold Richmond one last time. Nothing is too low if you’re going out anyway.

  13. @scribus But anyway the kiwiing moron's Gmail address and phone number were both on the flier, so I shot him an email where I point-by-point expressed concern with just about everything he put on there, essentially challenging him to try to win me over since he claims to want to represent ALL Virginians.

  14. @scribus At first I had assumed it was part of a voter intimidation project. Here in Virginia, the GOP has been handing out fliers to voters in Democratic areas and who have participated in Democratic primaries telling them that their voter records are "public" and that they've been voting for the wrong candidates and should stay home on Tuesday if they're going to keep voting wrong. This guy used a different tactic: he didn't use the word "Republican" anywhere on his flier and claims to be my neighbor which, Jesus Christ, I hope not.

  15. Got a note from a Republican running for office in my district claiming to want me to reach out to chat with him about his platform. Did just that, because his platform was appleing insane and would be more at-home in Nazi Germany. Am eagerly awaiting the response I am totally going to get

  16. I was getting real nervous about this Governor’s race until Trump showed up in Arlington right just now

  17. Here’s the thing. I didn’t *really* know her all that well. I’ve been at this store for two months and we worked in different departments. But I know her husband. We worked the evening shift together almost every night at my last store. Dude’s torn up right now and I feel so bad for him. Don’t mango talk his dead wife to me, or we’re gonna have major problems that involve your head and your ass meeting one another for the first time in your life.

  18. walked into another store today to pick up a box of chicken for my store. Front end manager there had some ~opinions~ about the recently deceased bakery manager at my store. Very uncomfortable conversation. Some people oughta learn to keep their mouths shut.

  19. With that being said even an unloaded revolver chamber spins so in this particular instance CGI wouldn’t even have been necessary.

  20. friendly reminder that, when it comes to guns, post-production effects are probably more effective than practical effects because film cameras usually can’t capture the flare anyway because of how quickly it happens. The mechanical functions of the weapon - slide, revolver chamber, etc - are similarly relatively simple to do with CGI.

  21. I make very serious animations for adults http://rainbowdash.net/url/876023

  22. Customer came in complaining that her cake order didn’t get finished on time. Told her that the baker died and so we were unable to finish today’s orders. She then asked who was going to make her cake because she needs it now. Certified customer service moment.

  23. I dunno. Thinking about sending my boss home for the night. I didn’t get to mourn Beth’s death. Don’t really feel like making someone else repeat that experience.

  24. I guess that’s life. I work around a lot of different people from a lot of different backgrounds of a lot of different ages. Probably won’t be the last time this happens.

  25. Still… I just saw her yesterday. Hearing the news stung a little.

  26. @scribus At least it isn’t a friend this time. That was super not fun.

  27. Hey guys, take it from someone who is now having to do it for the second time in as many years: having to pretend that an associate at your store is still alive until everyone is notified that she died in surgery this morning is Not Fun.
