Definitely a joke. I would only have it on my wall for shock value.

I once printed out a picture of the gates in front of Auschwitz and put it on my cubicle wall because my boss was being an asshole. He didn’t get the joke and I didn’t care.

I want to hate Stuart Little, but god damn was E.B. White a good writer. Even The Elements of Style is a great read just as a book in my opinion.

A couple of quotes from Stuart Little:

In the loveliest town of all where the houses were white and high and the elm trees were green and higher than the houses where the front yards were wide and pleasant and the back yards were bushy and worth finding out about, where the streets sloped down to the stream and the stream flowed quietly under the bridge, where the lawns ended in orchards and the orchards ended in fields and the fields ended in pastures and the pastures climbed the hill and disappeared over the top toward the wonderful wide sky, in this loveliest of all towns Stuart stopped to get a drink of sarsaparilla.

Stuart rose from the ditch, climbed into his car, and started up the road that led toward the north…As he peeked ahead into the great land that stretched before him, the way seemed long. But the sky was bright, and he somehow felt he was headed in the right direction.

I can’t hate a book written that well even though Stuart was a little shit in the book as well.

Wilbur the pig was also a little shit.

I can’t keep track of your weird Canadian pop stars.

Thanks so much, I am busting my ass trying!

And likely for far worse reasons based on the response from @dev_null@lemmy.ml.

Lovely. I am not happy about having to emigrate to a non-EU country, but it’s my only choice.

You just wait until Timmy is in the bathroom to do the shots. Do I have to think of everything to avoid the horror of Sunny D?

I hope not. I like drinking a screwdriver on occasion.

I’ll take your word for it.

It is bad if that’s is all you want.

Well at least that’s for a good reason.

If you’re sick of Timmy’s shit, you don’t need the mixer. It’s shots time.

Some of the shit I am seeing right now while job searching is just appalling. I have had to opt out to having an AI review my resume twice. The employers CLAIM they won’t see that as a negative, but I have my doubts. The sketchiness of some of them is amazing too. Check this one out:

And the language, it makes me want to get stabby. “Are you a visionary creative leader with a passion for social media and an eye for aesthetics?” Can you go fuck yourselves?

Also, having never worked in the UK before, I’m pretty shocked that they want to know my sexuality and whether I am the same gender I was assigned at birth. That is on a LOT of job applications and it is not always skippable even if I thought it was a good idea to skip it. Totally wouldn’t be legal in the U.S.

A couple of days ago, I applied for the position of “Creative Content Creator.” I believe there is a phrase in the U.K. for being laid off- “made redundant…” I think you’re made redundant when you get hired for that job.

They said the check would be in the mail.

No, I need to work on hating myself more first.

I consider that a lot less evil. I don’t like Mountain Dew, but I understand the concept of liking Mountain Dew. Sunny D is for parents who think their kids aren’t getting enough sugar with normal Orange Juice. It’s like drinking a liquid pixie stick.

-1 million.

This is why you do what I do and use a trackball.

Whatever. Good for her. She found something she enjoys doing and is doing it and is apparently making enough of a living at it to keep doing it. I would be very surprised if her parents have been bankrolling her since 2011. I don’t think they’re that level of rich, especially when I just read that Friday, both the song and the video, cost them around $8000.

Plenty of one-hit wonders go on to a long musical career despite never replicating the success. The unique thing here was that the one hit was loved because of how bad it was. I would also note that she didn’t write the song or create the music video she was in for Friday. And she was fourteen. It was basically just a present for their fourteen-year-old because she wanted to be a musician when she grew up and it made her a laughing stock.

I honestly felt bad for her back then and I still do now, so I’m glad she’s actually followed her dream and made something of it.
