it's pretty dark and twisted but also good and full of meaning. I appreciated it most because it was about women and their relationships with one another. the men are not terribly sympathetic but it's supposed to be that way. I guess it's basically about realizing fantasies for what they are.
sounds extremely good to me. lately i've really resented wasting my time with media that's purported to be good but always disappoints with stupid ideological bullshit, i feel like that won't happen here (or at least the other merits will make up for it, which is extremely rare) & that's kind of nice

I worked 10am-6pm and 8pm-4am yesterday (new years eve) and today (new years day) I'm working 2-10. Step your Jobs game up if you want to be a real revolutionary buy in and change capitalism from the inside.

I worked Monday from 11:30am to 11:30pm (which was early, i normally get off from 1 to 2am on Mondays), and then Tuesday from 9:00am to 10:30pm. Literally the only reason i had today and yesterday off is because the UPS truck drivers who actually deliver the damaged boxes of diapers, $200 bandaids, and expired "milk" i ship all day have them off

Nanami the Renouncer-right about most things, even though not always for the best reasons- was the best character. And the conclusion of her arc foreshadowed the ultimate denouncement of the tv series, though not of the movie. Because she was, after all, simultaneously, in her own person just a less romanticized and more comedic version of both the Rose Bride and Utena herself.

yeah i layer layer layer and constantly exert myself picking up and stacking heavy shit because its the only way to stay warm. management knows this and i suspect it is the main reason they do not provide us with life-giving heat. although i will enact my revenge once summer rolls around, if im not dead and the warehouse isnt burned down by then

Just wait till he tries to guilt you about a piece of machinery (which you frequently use) breaking down due to you know fucking entropy and that fixing/replacing it has a cost.

my boss also tries to be "nice" but its in that mewling, simpering, passive aggressive way that makes everyone hate and disrespect him and constantly talk about assaulting/murdering him the second hes out of earshot

Tyrants are cool because they know you're just a spoke in the wheel and exploit you accordingly. The rapport building bosses are always the worst because they make it all about some sort of stake in their personal development.
I have to be a boss and i think im probably more on the tyrant end. My good quality as a boss is that I work much harder than all my employees, all the time, without holding them to the same standard. I'm probably a good boss overall but who knows
