  • My partner’s dad lied on his resume long ago and held that job for years before anyone checked.

    The reason he lied was because he knew he could do the job because he had enormous experience (I’m not sure what it was something related to agriculture and he had grown up farming) but the job required a degree. He did the job well.

    He is an argumentative person though and I guess he finally pissed off the wrong guy who finally looked into his background and got him fired.

    ACAB every day but don’t you dare come for Mariska Hargitay. 1) we all know SVU is fiction (that’s why they say it every episode), and most of us are aware it’s mostly fantasy and also 2) svu often points out the shortcomings of other non-them svu teams and the NYPD in general.

    Mariska is a gem irl. Let me enjoy my fantasy cop show.

    (It has to be said: this is a tongue-in-cheek comment and I understand the point that was being made in the meme, I just really love svu ok.)








  • I think it’s kind of the opposite. The Bible was written as a response to and warning of human greed. The fashion in which people come to power has changed since then, but human greed doesn’t change.

    The irony is not lost that the Bible itself was turned into a tool for greed and oppression, but I think that the actual core of the religion (Christ’s teachings or whatever) were meant to warn people about the dangers of doing greedy human things.

    My partner used to have a roommate that thought that because he only used the towel when he was “clean” after showering, that meant he never had to wash the towel. What started out as a white towel turned into a yellowing black stained horror. I can’t imagine the smell. 🤢
