I cannot decided what the funniest part of this scene is. The fact that Sokka’s plans up until this point have been grounded in reality and then he just starts off with ‘we dress Momo as a ghost’. How Momo is just letting Sokka use him as a part of his presentation and then perches on top of Sokka’s head like a cozy little hat. The fact that there’s basically no reason for Momo to distract the guards if they’re just going to use force anyway. Aang just avidly listening to this plan for a solid thirty seconds. Sokka still holding onto the validity of this plan when in literally any other situation he’d favor the rational plan that draws the least attention. This whole interaction being the clearest example of ‘Sokka and Aang are reasonably intelligent on their own but put together they share one (1) brain cell’. Maybe it’s the part where there’s a good chance that Aang could just walk up and do some airbending and they’d let him in just on the basis of him being the Avatar like, guys, there’s really no need for you to sneak in as bus boys you could just use your celebrity status.
We appreciate ATLA’s comedy so much, but this scene is constantly slept on and I cannot fathom why. This is where ATLA’s comedy peaked and you can’t change my mind.
Literally where would be as a society without the soup store video
ive never met anyone under 25 who hasnt seen it.
It’s literally an impossibly good video. The fucking performance and sheer ANGER and building frustration from both party’s, the absurdity, the slow ramping ridiculousness, the way the diologue flows off itself at a breakneck speed, the phrase “I’m at soup” the pure fucking rage off both parties, the sheer almost unbelievable idiocy from the guy who’s ‘at soup,’ the way it ends so ubruptly without losing any momentum. Its insane. I’ve watched it 150 times in like 2 years its never not funny.
Sometimes I’ll have to go to the bathroom while I’m getting ready for work and I’ll intentionally wait until I get to work to start my bathroom experience so I can get paid for it
My dad used to say to me, “Natalie,” he would say, “if you’re good at something, don’t do it for free.”
I feel like I should tell you that sometimes at work I think “should I go to the bathroom now or wait till my break?” and then I think “Natalie would tell me to go to the bathroom now and get paid for it,” so that’s what I do.
That is how you walk righteously in the path of the Lord
on a related note: if any of y'all are working from home now because of The Unpleasantness, think about what it’s like working in an office. you set all your shit down, maybe log in to your computer, and then most people go get a coffee and then chat about the new Netflix show for 30 minute or an hour.
so if you’re working from home now, clock in as soon as possible. and then go to the bathroom, start the coffee maker up, take the dog out to go potty (they’re your office mate now), take some time to scroll through Tumblr and ramble on a Trot’s post to wake up. whatever you’ve been doing before you clock in: don’t. roll out of bed. put on clothes if that’s necessary to access your computer. put on glasses if you need them to be able to see the “clock in” button. and then once you’re getting paid, then go and do all the other stuff
I get not wanting to go back to the office before it’s safe (or at all really) but don’t give them *more* of your labor than you otherwise would. at the end of the day it’s nothing to them, but it’s 30 minutes of your life you get back to yourself (or 30 minutes of money, if you prefer).
anyway sorry tldr remote workers should slow down too
