Just got mine today and can't wait to start putting them together. Good job on that streak! Maybe I need to start holding myself accountable like that.

Absolutely. If you want staff to engage with customers you have to give them the time to do it without getting in trouble. Being helpful and courteous takes time. Self-checkout, locked cabinets, and shortstaffing doesn't improve service. It makes engaging with customers a burden and distraction.

I'll have to see if I can catch it in a theater. It was stunning in my living room with headphones.

I had a job with similar rules. Corporate employers don't realize that well provided for employees who enjoy their jobs don't need to be reminded to be happy and interact with customers. Over-worked and understaffed people, aware they don't have enough time to complete their daily tasks, do.

It's interesting to see the challenge Victor experiences when The Creature can't communicate. It's exactly the experience of a new parent who struggles before their baby starts smiling and being interactive. Then we begin to see the wild intelligence at hand that we are shaping.

Seeing an unprepared father struggle to use the inadequate tools provided by his parents made me glad to have kindness shared with me so I am able to be that much better an example for my child.

2nd edition 40k was my first. One never forgets their first love. I still remember playing Battle for Armageddon mini campaign.

Looks like a challenge coin. In some circles that's a really special 'thank you'. A sign of appreciation for efforts or inspiration. Very cool!

I don't disagree that china is probably using tiktok to influence folks. Just like the domestic platforms are. Let's be real. Right now Meta and X are bending the knee. The current lack of content moderation is so bad now that I can't use instagram without seeing a reel of someone dying violently

I accidentally startled Tom Savini after fixing the washing machine in his hotel room. I opened the door to leave just as he was reaching for it to come in.

I'm so disappointed that the state of modern society has taken me to the point of not really knowing if this is a joke or not.
