Are you. Are you going to become a superhero?

Maybe. Or it could kill me. Or anything in between.

Why did you need it?

I'm in an experimental gene therapy program and this is one of the screening requirements.

o_O that sounds so cool. What does it entail? How did you get a gig like that snivvy

Basically just live near a research hospital conducting an active study and meet the screening requirements. I was asked about it during a routine check up.

We have a mirror mounted on top of our head coil, since we have people doing tasks in the scanner and they need to see the task projected on the screen at the end of the bore. If I go in without that mirror, which lets me look through the bore as if I were in a wide open space, I get really claustrophobic. With the mirror, however, it's easy breezing. I think they should always have a mirror in there for patients, even if it's unnecessary.

That would be really helpful.

At least the tube had the two openings. Apparently some are fully enclosed?

Damn claustrophobia sucks. Closing my eyes during the procedure helped, but overall it was an uncomfortable experience.

Now on to getting my chest xrays.

Yay preventative care.

Literally a game for children where the combat is based entirely around RNG and shitty netcode

Not a single thing in the game demands skill of any sort

It takes some pretty good muscle memory to simultaneously build those fortresses while hopping around and shooting your enemy. The button inputs aren't intuitive until you've done it for a while, at least for me.

That game just doesn't interest me. I've played a few rounds and I just don't find it fun. It's so repetitive.

This article is misleading as hell. From using "biological female" to refer to a transmale to saying that the guy is refusing to see a "potentially naked underage female", which, while true, is unlikely. Supervising a locker room doesn't mean just standing there watching the students change. It means being around in case of any issues or emergencies. And the transpeople I know are typically discreet when they change in locker rooms; they don't just flaunt themselves around naked. Besides, the way the article is worded implies that it's okay the PE teacher just sits around and watch underage boys naked, as long as they're boys.

With that being said, the school was pretty stupid to retaliate against the PE teacher for something like this. I feel like a better compromise could have been reached.

But that doesn't change the fact that this article used the most flowery wording possible to make this situation seem a lot worse than it is.

In many religions, the Biblical definition of Hell is a state of nonexistence, not a firey oblivion as is popularized in the media.

So hell is no life after death (or nonexistence) whereas heaven is eternal life after death.

This episode was a nice change of pace to the usual zaniness of the show. I enjoyed the heartfelt moments and the character building of Eleanor and Tahani.

I see the last two episodes the show has slowed its pace down a bit and focusing on the whole "let's save other people" bit. I think it's welcome, though. The pace of the first three episodes, if continued the whole season, would have eventually gotten through too much, too fast.

Though I don't expect this status quo to remain long. Isn't the next episode the midseason finale? I expect another earth-shattering twist that changes the entire arc of the show by the end of the next episode.

I loved this season. Felt like a pseudo re-telling of Season 1, down to his black outfit and everything.

I didnt like it - lack of Hand/Electra and Daredevil is suddenly struggling with regular humans? Also no Stick sucks

I think they did a good job setting it up to why he struggled with the various people he fought (i.e. his senses not being fully back, being drugged, caught by surprise, successive fights with no break, etc).

That's really awesome. The girl dressed as Bad Janet more resembles the actress than good Janet. Probably cause her face is fuller.

My first experience with Superman was not the comics, but those old, short technicolor cartoons that would air back in the day.

Even rewatching them now, I am able to appreciate how those shorts managed to build so much tension through Superman's struggles in that 8-minute cartoon, whether it was fighting robots or saving citizens. It simultaneously showed him as this super strong man but also a guy susceptible to pain and anguish.

Here's a non-meme version

I have seen this kind of thing posted on social media by people I know. The problem with this line of thinking is that it misrepresent what a lot of moderates/centrists believe.

People assume that moderates are always split down the middle on every issue, such as that ridiculous "let's kill half the kittens issue". When in reality, they just side on individual issues regardless of party and may lean on either side at a given time.

A better example would be that in the above comic, the moderate says "no I agree with the eagle who says to kill no kittens" but then agree with the elephant on a different issue later that day.

My new job makes this easier, because sick leave and vacation leave are both under the personal leave umbrella. So if I need to take off, I don't need a reason. I just tell my boss I'm taking off.

In my old job, where sick leave was its own category (and the fact that we accumulated it so quickly), I felt like I was under more scrutiny to tell my boss why I was taking sick leave. Although I'm sure it was just in my head because my boss didn't ever seem to really care why I was using my sick leave.

Out of curiosity, was this episode the clearest confirmation we've had of Eleanor being bisexual? She'd made a few references to Tahani, but those could pass as Tahani just being fuckin' gorgeous. But in this episode, she was curious if a female schoolmate was into her.

You know, I've always just seen it as a running gag. Like that Eleanor is obviously straight but makes inappropriate comments about other girls cause that's just how she was. Also it could just be that Tahani is beautiful enough to make anyone bi. But you're right, this episode does make it seem that Eleanor may really be bi and it's not just a joke to her.

ut I personally associate stuff like longcoats with suave and classy kind of badassness which isn't a turn on for me personally.

I think the fact that she appears to not be wearing any pants (or possibly anything at all underneath) changes the context a little bit, though

She wasn't? I didn't notice that. I thought she was wearing a really short skirt. I guess my respect for longcoats just overrides that

Yeah, my understanding of that scene was that she was naked under that coat, hence why they cut away from her front side when she was in the process of opening it.

Yes, this.

I know it is irrational but I hate calling in sick. I had to do it through text message and that was even worse cause my boss would respond either in 2 minutes or an hour. The wait to hear back was agonizing even though I knew it would be fine.

But another great episode. Jason's dad was great. It is funnny when Pillboi and Donkey Dogu actually made Jason seem level-headed in comparison.

This is the one I was thinking of also *spoilers* if anyone gives a shit about this movie.

Not a movie, but in A Series of Unfortunate Events (Neil Patrick Harris version), most of the deaths are pretty unfair. But the one that particularly made me uncomfortable was the librarian's death when she got thrown in the lion's pit. She did not deserve such a fate considering how much good she had done throughout the series up until that point. What a horrible way to go. If there was anything positive to come out of it, it was to watch the crowd's cheering faces fade when they realized the reality of watching a person being eaten alive.

Since you're giving out advice - I graduated in 2015 but spent another year getting a paralegal certificate afterwards. Since then, I've had very infrequent temp positions, to the point that my resume has large gaps of unemployment. I just started volunteering at courthouses for experience, but is there anything else I should be doing?

What did you graduate in? I'm guessing the paralegal certificate you want to be involved in law, but what areas of law? Do you just want to be a paralegal?

If so, then your gaps of unemployment can easily be brushed aside by creating a skill-based resume instead of a chronological-based resume (look those up). A skill-based resume focuses more on the skills you've learned in your temp jobs moreso than the temp jobs themselves.

Volunteering at a courthouse is a great start, but are you networking there? Do the workers there know you by name yet? Do they like you? You need to engage in some water cooler talk and talk to everyone from the desk clerks to the judges when the opportunities present themselves. Every now and then, bring up in the conversation how your goal is to do ________ just so they are aware of it. Previous posters are right in that the right connections can get you a job.

It's not only who you know, but more importantly, who knows you.

Those are some good starting points based on the info you gave me.

Well that'd have been f***ING NICE TO KNOW.

Thirteen years in education, and literally EVERYONE involved insisted the degree was the important part. Now here I am, stupid, unemployed and unemployable.

I feel ready to f***ing cry.

How long have you been unemployed? How long ago did you graduate? What is your field? It's never too late to get started, but you may need to take a different strategy since you missed the internship boat. I can make some suggestions based on your answer to those questions.

Sounds like a rip off of Extras down to the name.

Hilarious show about the behind-the-scenes drama in the movie extras industry. Ricky Gervais plays a fictionalized version of himself starring in a British slapstick comedy and the bastardization of his life in the process.

That sounds hilarious. I looked it up and I see it was an HBO show. Being that Episodes is a Showtime show, it wouldn't surprise me that it was "inspired" by Extras to rival it (although it came out several years later).

Also, the running gag with the character Morning, who was Matt LeBlanc's counterpart, constantly bringing up how she was as well known for being "Kelly" from "Kelly Girl" just as Matt was known as "Joey" from "Friends" had me confused as to whether or not "Kelly Girl" was a real show.

Turns out it isn't. Well, a "Kelly Girl" show exists but it's not the one she's talking about and she's certainly not in it. It's just surreal how the show blends real-life situations with fictional ones to the point that you can't tell what's accurate and what's satire.

Back in my college days I wasn't really into the party scene, so it came as a surprise to me during a conference I attended with a bunch of typical partiers. I was the only one that had just turned 21 that was staying at the hotel and the others were begging me to buy them alcohol cause they were bored. And it was very sad to see because you could just tell that they didn't know what to do with themselves with alcohol in their systems. They guys and girls that I usually saw as confident and outgoing were reserved and quiet, not knowing what to do in a new location without getting drunk.

I thought it was just a college think but my new job now involves a lot of networking at social gatherings to get new clients and these social gatherings pretty much suck until a few hours in when all these executives are drunk and spewing out inappropriate jokes at every turn. It's fascinating to watch as someone who doesn't drink.

But I've definitely noticed this culture that is built around alcohol for many major groups in the US. Without it, people really seem to be out of their element, like some form of light, psychological withdrawal.

Matt LeBlanc carries it though. The other characters are good, but he's what really gives the most laughs IMO.

Matt does a great job pretending to be himself.
