Me when my brain finally got there
@Matt_Moore07 : ugh, what’s it called when you spend too much time around someone? Like a syndrome?
Me:...Stockholm Syndrome??
“spend too much time around someone” 😭

Boxing (among other physical combat sports like MMA) is one sport where an actual amateur should under no circumstances fight a professional. Other sports can organise professional-amateur games for fun; boxing cannot.

Like I will never forget how we got one of the best living directors on a Harry Potter film. It’s even funnier when you see every single other director try so hard to replicate what he did and fail miserably

i am beyond aware this is a joke but the concept of an entire family depending on the salary of a person who draws Stolas shaking ass is funnier than said joke

This is someone who is very new to having FND. She knows what arm movements to use to make her look unstable, but forgets to actually be unstable. Her condition's real name is Munchausen syndrome. It's also the condition most frequently cured by preachers who own private jets.

"The bastard son fathered with a serving girl is the only one who is anything like him, while the legitimate heirs are aristocratic fops" sounds like the plot of the last Conan movie. But it's actually the plot of Arnold's life.

i kinda love how Tasmania has a “Godzilla” like relationship with this guy. “yeah it comes ashore and destroys as much as it can every once in a while but you know, it’s like a spectacle and it leaves eventually”
Tasmania’s notorious ‘Neil The Seal’ is back on land & wreaking havoc 🦭

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The attached video is from July 2026, not November as the post implies. There is no evidence that Neil has returned to Tasmania since he left in July 11th.

I cannot tell you how many times I've seen this. Absolute shitheel boomers and GenXers who own a small, profitable business and run it into the ground, because they refuse to believe that human psychology exists. They think that people are just biological machines and the only thing they need to calculate is the minimum amount of money that will keep those machines running.
I have seen this with my own 2 eyes. I once had 2 customers, making similar products in the same small-medium sized southern city. What they made was relatively labor intensive and it took a solid 3 months to get a production employee trained up. One company was owned by one of these shitheels. He has essentially no training program besides relying on current employees to train new ones haphazardly. He cultivated zero culture and would, roughly monthly, make known some grievance he had about scrap rate or production numbers, in some way that most of the employees would see/hear.
Every time I met with him, he would bitch about finding "good people." He was to the point of recruiting young people from Chipotle or McDonalds that showed him a modicum of competence when he went out to lunch. He was paying like $25/hr, which was very good for the time and place. He had ceased doing background checks or even drug tests, long before. Eventually, he managed to sell to private equity. The new owners sold it for scrap within 18 months.
The guy across town was a totally different story. He paid like $19/hr, starting. Yet there was a complex social structure around locals for "trying to get in there." For the local working class, this was the place to try to get a job. It didn't take long to figure out why. There was a purposely cultivated culture. Everyone went through an intensive training program. The owner knew absolutely every employee's name, and their spouse's name and their kid's names and ages. There were real (not the fake forced kind) of company events. Picnics, barbecues, Christmas Parties. Certain hunting openers were official company holidays. It was so strong that is was a quasi mark of shame to get fired from this place, and people wold be bewildered in the rare instance someone left.
There was a lot more going on, but this is the key part. People actually do matter. People respond well to the right incentives. Unless very certain economic conditions exist, people are not just biological robots who respond only to money.
I run a corporate consulting firm that specializes in small businesses, and I've dealt with more dysfunctional owners like this than I care to remember. I can tell you EXACTLY what's going on here.
This guy had HALF his competent workforce walk off the job, can’t retain new hires even after doubling wages, and the workers who do stick around can’t even clean a fish tank without causing thousands of dollars in damages.
And his conclusion is that an entire generation is unemployable?! Complete and utter nonsense.
I can practically guarantee that if I sat down with the employees who quit, it wouldn't even take five minutes to figure out why they all left:
An arrogant, insufferable, Boomer tyrant who treats his employees like garbage, blames everyone else for his own failures, and has created such a miserable working environment that anyone with two functioning brain cells and another employment opportunity immediately slams the eject button.
Which, incidentally, explains why the only employees he can retain are apparently too stupid to tie their own shoes.
The most incredible part is that this guy thinks offering $35 an hour somehow vindicates him.
Do you have any idea how thoroughly you have to screw up as an employer to make $73,000 a year CLEANING FISH TANKS sound like a bad deal?
And rather than engage in even a moment of self-reflection, he takes to X, publicly announcing that everyone who has ever worked for him is a lazy, incompetent moron.
I cannot imagine why people don’t want to work for this man.
I've got news for you, pal, and you might want to pay attention because I normally charge $400 an hour for this:
When everyone who has the ability to leave your business does so, and the only people left are the ones nobody else will hire, it isn’t an employee problem. It’s a YOU problem.
And the fact that you apparently had to shut down an otherwise profitable business before figuring that out tells me everything I need to know about why you had no business running one in the first place.

“Whomping Willow… unyielding… and a basilisk heartstring core?” Ollivander questioned, his voice catching as he stared at Harry in astonishment. “This… this is not the wand I sold you.”
Harry shifted awkwardly. “Er, well, I… made it.”
Ollivander examined the wand again, his eyes gleaming with curiosity. “Acceptable craftsmanship, I must say! And an excellent choice for fighting.” He seemed to be restraining a smile. “But… Whomping Willow wood and a basilisk heartstring? Those aren't materials one simply finds.”
“Yeah, about that,” Harry said, scratching the back of his neck, seemingly oblivious to the whispers spreading among the other champions, judges and journalists. “After the Willow broke my Nimbus 2000, I might have… pruned it. Quite aggressively, actually.”
“And the core?” Ollivander asked, his voice filled with almost reverent wonder.
Harry glanced at the reporters, who were now buzzing with questions, before answering steadily. “You know the thousand-year-old basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets that I killed a couple of years ago?”
The muttering grew louder. Fleur, Cedric and Viktor all stared at Harry in disbelief. Rita Skeeter, quill and notebook at the ready, began pushing closer, clearly desperate for details.
Ollivander ignored them all. His attention remained fixed on Harry and his creation. “You harvested the basilisk yourself?”
“Well, yeah,” Harry replied, looking a little bashful. “It seemed a shame to leave it to rot, and the heart was just right there. I figured, to the victor go the spoils, you know?”
Ollivander nodded, his hands trembling with excitement as he examined the wand. “Quite the saying, indeed, Mr Potter. Whomping Willow wood is rarely used, given its incredible resilience and unwillingness to cooperate. But paired with a basilisk heartstring? Brilliant. A highly aggressive wand, exceptionally powerful… and dangerous.”
Fleur crossed her arms, frowning thoughtfully. “So you 'ave created a wand from scratch?” she asked, her usual aloofness giving way to open astonishment.
“Oh, it took ages,” Harry said, warming to the subject. “Getting the Willow wood was tricky. I had to keep dodging branches, so I ended up learning the Summoning Charm ahead of time. But the basilisk was harder. Getting a heartstring from a dead serpent that size was more… complicated than I expected. Not to mention yucky. I had to burn those clothes afterwards. They stank.”
Ollivander nodded knowingly, examining the slight asymmetry in the wood's grain. “And yet you managed. Remarkable. What wand-lore did you study? Self-taught, I presume?”
Harry beamed, scratching his head. “I found a few books on wand-making in the Restricted Section, and a really old one that was a gift from…” Sirius. “A friend. The Willow wood had to be carved very specifically to stop it lashing out at anyone who wasn't its master. And getting the core settled properly… I probably redid it four times.”
The crowd grew louder, several people trying to interrupt, but Ollivander and Harry were completely absorbed in their conversation.

“Now, Mr Potter — Harry. It's easier to match a wand to a child when you get a feel for their magic. The wand is easy; you simply hold it. With the child, you have to bring it out. A strong emotion does that,” Ollivander explained.
It had been a while since he'd had such a receptive audience. The boy was practically lapping up every word!
Harry rubbed the back of his neck and frowned. “Is that why you act all creepy? To bring out our magic? I honestly thought you just enjoyed scaring children.”
Ollivander smiled. “Oh, I do. Multitasking, Mr Potter.”

Do you people realize Spindlehorse isn't owned by Amazon? They back it, yes, but the studio isn't owned or operated by the company. They just distribute the show. The fault is completely on the owners of the studio for not paying their animators.

When the last several Harry Potter books were released, we had midnight book launches attended by millions. Children, in some cases very young, finished these 700 & 800 page books in a single day. And now people are telling me I made it up, that this couldn’t ever have happened.

It’s a fair point. New York and Florida are basically the same, except for our 24/7 subway system, one of the nation’s largest public hospital systems, a higher minimum wage, stronger worker protections, universal 3-K, paid family leave, paid sick leave, and paid prenatal leave.
