Yeah see when I want to read a literary novel I rent a windblown shack 200 miles from any people and read it alone, in rags and furs, by candlelight. But I guess I’m just built different.

Like everyone else, I'm enjoying Plur1bus, but I have to take issue with a long sequence in episode 2 [spoilers ensue]:
Carol meets with the 6 other English-speaking “non-joined” people. She assumes they will want to fight this, but *every one of them* is perfectly fine with it.

Nothing is apropos of nothing; everything is apropos of something or other.
Your inability to keep track of what is apropos of what does not excuse you from acknowledging this reality.

Awkward. Accidentaly said "you too" to a coworker who said "sorry for your loss", and now I have to kill one of their loved ones to save face.

in addition to being a grotesque imposition on employees, this would be enough to get me to stop going to Target even without the other stuff. eye contact? invasive questioning? please allow me to do my shopping as i prefer, rapidly and with absolute silence.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

I've always had naturally-occurring sort of Punk Rock hair: it wants to stick up straight, often in a spiky manner. But when I get it cut very short, as now, it's more like Baby Chick.

Dreamed I had two copies of one of Beckett's novels (THE UNNAMEABLE?), same edition, same publisher, same cover. But one was thinner and had a label on the spine which said LIGHTER and the heavier one's label read CORRECT.
