Sometimes my mom calls a fanny pack a strap-on. This is like that.

A stool sample? Well I guess I could break the back off one of the kitchen chairs but I don't see how that's going to help.

This is the hardest thing to un-train with new employees: be honest about your mistakes. I will not get mad about a mistake. Everyone makes them. The best thing to do is call it out so we can move to fix it. If you keep making the same mistake, maybe we have a talk about your process to see if there are any blind spots.

So many people try to hide their mistakes or reframe them as successes and please do not do that. Own it, see if you can learn anything from it, and let everyone know so we can help you fix it.

Also the campground at any Phish show.

Pretty much yeah. I was going to say an episode of Fear Factor but same thing.

Strong "the meeting will continue until I have broken you" energy.

This whole thread makes me so mad. Well done.

If you read it the right way, the book of Jonah reads like a really weird episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Yeah. Also, superficially good looking people can still be sketchy weirdos. Vibe, context, and prior relationship are much more important than looks. Of course, some people can't get their head around this and start blaming literally anything else: their height, their bone structure, a worldwide conspiracy against them. It's crazy.

We're too busy talking about the Foundation Realm and the Blending Realm. We'll get to shadow eventually.

Or, like, make mana fall from heaven or give the pastors the occasional plague of quail to handle food requirements.
