I am very Russian. The only thing I despise about my country is what it turned into. Which is why I'm no longer there.
It's a Halloween miracle! Starting next week I won't have to work closing shift six days a week!

Granted, I still have to do that FIVE times I week, but what a difference having just *one* more evening off makes.

Достаёться ему как раз из-за педофилии. И его уже не первый раз обвиняют, вместе с другом Брайаном Сингером. Вот и всё.

Гей комьюнити не будет его поддерживать т.к. обьявил он свою ориентацию минут через 15 после обвинения. И в весьма дурной форме.

Overall it's just a stellar hour of television. Jeffrey Combs is always wonderful, but this is definitely one of his best performances.

First game is the only one that's really worth it. The rest are a pain in the ass.
Sequels to comedies rarely work, but Addams Family Values managed to pull that off & go beyond. It's a superior film in every way. https://x.com/TristanACooper/status/925100256756453376

(Probably has something to do with the fact that the first film is not very good, but whatever.)

I guess tonight if you dress up as "Shitty Writer" your costume can also double as "David Cage".
Replying to @garagehirst
Gremlins 2 is great because it's a deconstruction of itself as an unnecessary sequel. Which makes it more fun than the first.

Alright. Also this is actually Volkov Commander, because it's an 8086 machine, & using Norton wouldn't be practical.

Like a good manager I told everyone that they could dress up today, as long as the costumes didn't mess with work getting done.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Result: I'm the only one who dressed up. I failed as a manager. Next year dressing up is gonna be mandatory.
Fuck that. This is retail. One should be jumping at ANY change of making the daily grind more bearable without incentive of prizes. https://x.com/sacaitlin/status/925467603128279040

Seriously, if you're in retail, take the opportunities to brighten up your day, and the days of others. Very important for surviving.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Also, if you're in retail then GET OUT as soon as you possibly can.
