Tmi whatever
Ask me personal shit.
Me: No one is hiring me
Adults: you’re just not trying hard enough
Me: oh yea, sorry about that. Let me apply “harder” this time. I’ll be sure to write my contact info extra “hard” this time. I’ll make sure to touch up my resume and make it hella “hard” this time around too.
preach
Adults: You just need to hit the pavement, knock on some doors, call the hiring manager!
Every job application ever: PLEASE NO UNSOLICITED VISITS OR PHONE CALLS.
Fact: Our reception pool forwards the names of people who call unsolicited on to HR, who puts the names on a DO NOT HIRE, CANNOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS list.
This is what is the most terrifying about re-beginning the job search.
And that’s the most frustrating thing about depression. It isn’t always something you can fight back against with hope. It isn’t even something — it’s nothing. And you can’t combat nothing. You can’t fill it up. You can’t cover it. It’s just there, pulling the meaning out of everything. That being the case, all the hopeful, proactive solutions start to sound completely insane in contrast to the scope of the problem.
It would be like having a bunch of dead fish, but no one around you will acknowledge that the fish are dead. Instead, they offer to help you look for the fish or try to help you figure out why they disappeared.
(x)This is actually a really good way to explain it, I think.
I WILL NEVER NOT REBLOG THIS
I’ve seen this reblogged without the original caption before and boy was i confused
Wait, this version of the post misses out what I think is the most important bit of the paragraph
“The problem might not even have a solution. But you aren’t necessarily looking for solutions. You’re maybe just looking for someone to say “sorry about how dead your fish are” or “wow, those are super dead. I still like you, though.”“
I laughed so hard when Buck Dewey said “I only wanted to see you laughing in the pizza rain”.
BUCK WAS REFERRING TO PRINCE’S SONG PURPLE RAIN.
“…I only wanted to see you
laughing in the purple rain…”
hey just wondering why ppl still like game grumps
Hey guys, the grumps are actually taking part in a local tourist attraction, where visitors can dress in Kimonos and have traditional hairstyles. Asakusa is very well known for it, and it’s one of Asakusa’s main draws. This isn’t them in some horrible and gross halloween costume, or at a party. This is them paying money in that country to participate in something that is set up for tourists, being overseen by locals, and it helps fund the local theatres and acting societies in Asakusa. Cultural appropriation is bad, but when groups within that culture sets up up venus that allow you to dress up in traditional garments, then it’s a totally different situation. Japan is also well known for encouraging outsiders to participate in some of their festivals. As for why the dudes are dressed as ladies, the people at Asakusa probably have good senses of humor and agreed to allow them to do that.
Here, there’s a lot of results about it on google, so pick all the ones you’d like. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=asakusa+kimono+dress+up
So do remember: The grumps didn’t go out of their way to buy clothes like that, wear those elaborate wigs, and put on all of that makeup just for a facebook photo. They’re at a tourist attraction, and those kimono’s are being rented for about three hours or so. And chances are, they were also told a lot about the garments themselves, their meaning, their components, their uses in Japanese culture, their historical relevance, and a whole bunch of other rad educational stuff, being hosted by the locals.
So repeat after me: If someone in another culture or country creates a venu within that culture or country that allows people who are outside of that culture and country to participate and wear certain clothing, then the participation is no longer inappropriate within the span of that interaction.
If they’d done this in their own home, that’d be totally different. But they are in a place that’s well known for having a place for tourists to dress up like that. Please remember to take locations into account, and what kind of activities are in those locations, folks. This probably also goes to help fund some of the local theaters that Asakusa is well known for, too.
Fucking.
Blam.Is that ninja brian?
hey just wondering
why don’t a lot of people here look up their sources before coming into a conclusion
Because people don’t care about sources or context. They want to get mad at well known people for little things to give themselves the sense of oppression so people don’t realize that they are just privileged people who don’t actually understand negative social constructs. That is what it means to be a social justice warrior
