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.

        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.
