Honestly this is probably a cheaper alternative to American healthcare. Hell I’d get a apathy ring, probably do wonders for my anxiety issues that I can’t afford to treat.

I know one thing that’s absolutely true about the multiverse!

The multiverse is a convenient excuse to reboot superheroes for a new audience to make money.

Oh I was saying that people view the art created by the artist to be the artist. Like they are capable of living the lives they portray.

Like I came across a comic series where H.P. was the protagonist and it made him out to be some edgy defender against the occult horrors he wrote about. Think I’ve seen something similar with Poe, maybe a movie? I hate that so much.

Don’t insert those guys into those scenarios, they both would probably shit their pants and die immediately if they encountered what they wrote.

Most writers or artists of any kind are not as cool as you want them to be. H.P. was essentially a nerdy upper class dandy. He was horribly sheltered and coddled all his life by his mom and her sisters. He’d probably faint if he had to go out in the rain without an umbrella.

I enjoyed his writing but you have to separate the art from the artist. Just like not all action heros are badasses, they just look like that on film.

Well at least it has enough torque now to climb a median.

Sounds like a kinky night in the bedroom.

We need a ROAD WARRIOR to survive this American wasteland.

Joe Rogan would be like the Coma-Doof Warrior. But instead of a guitar shooting flames, he’d have a podcast mic shooting fart gas that he would just yell nonsensical phrases into just to make noise. Well Mel Gibson is driving him around town with a literal horse strapped to the front injected with ivermectin and main lined into Mel’s veins as a blood bag. The horse would have lines from the Book of Revelation tattooed all over it.

Former job, I had to be the bearer of bad news to a team of 10+ employees that they all were not getting bonuses and no raises. I really fought upper management went directly to the CEO, who by the way all did get bonuses/raises. I got a raise and bonus as well probably to keep me complacent. This was one of our better profit years, so it made absolutely no sense to do a freeze.

So I decided since I couldn’t get anyone above to reason. I instead told my team it was bullshit and exactly why in each of there reviews, even though I was given a script and explicitly told not tell them more than that. I told them that they should start looking for a new jobs and I’ll help anyway I could. Told them honestly that this was probably a tactic to push some of them out without firing them and replace them with lower wage workers, I wasn’t told that but I knew.

Worst year of my life. I left as quickly as I could myself. When I left they offered me a significant raise to stay, they were literal villains so I obviously said no.

Some of my team unfortunately stuck it out and got fired over petty shit months after I left. 2 years later they were all gone and replaced with low wage college interns. I hated myself because I was their shield for over 10 years and finally lost, as soon as I was gone they had no one to fight for them.

I don’t know if there is a moral to this story, the bad guys technically won.

Guess a take away is unless your company is struggling and the management also takes cuts or freezes, no one below them should. Don’t stay.
