That don't make a lick of sense to me. Especially considering his work crossed the turn of the century and that the Gymnopedies were composed in the 1800s. Seems foolish to label a style of music by year created. Can you give examples of other composers and works labeled "Contemporary?" Simply googling "contemporary classical composers" gives me 40 some musicians of varying schools and styles, most of whom are still alive today; the list does not include Erik Satie.

When I left my job I applied for insurance at healthcare.gov. I'm now on Medicaid, and it's better coverage than I got when I was working and paying for my insurance. Like how the fuck does that make any sense?

OK, I understand where you're coming from. There's certainly different types of "graphic" beyond gore. Having not experienced war and trench warfare specifically, I'm not sensitive to such depictions in film and lit. I can see how others, like those with PTSD as you mention, would have difficulty viewing or reading things that many just consider media to be consumed and analyzed.

I'd never read the book but the film is not all that graphic; akin to most recent historical war dramas. Band of Brothers, 1917, Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, The Patriot. Perhaps less romantic than some.

Saw this yesterday down in Shockoe. Amazon van pulled into the bike lane on a one-way street. Wanted to say something but there were already Dominion and Verizon service trucks and one other van straight up parked in the bike lane so what's the fucking point?

I also hate malls dying but haven't spent much time at a mall myself in a while. I have fond memories of the Southland Mall in Marion, OH. Walking up and down the main hallway with friends, tossing coins in the fountain, KB Toys. The mall also had our town's movie theater, so it was cool to see a late movie and walk out into an empty mall at the end at 11pm and stuff.

After a 3rd interview yesterday, I was not offered a job. With the departure of another staff member, the position was changing slightly and normally I don't think that'd be a huge problem for me, but it changed in a way that simply meant the job no longer appealed to me. So I found it necessary to make that clear. I was on board for the job they advertised, but not the one they now need to hire for. Their choice to pass me over was the right move for everyone.

Still sucks though. The longer I continue in my search, the more I want to return to an org I've worked for prior. I want the ease and trust of familiarity. When you leave a job for reasons of distrust, it's hard to put faith in new orgs that they'll do right by you.

Edit: whoopee, just got a no from another org, it's really putting me in a great mood today....

My puns occur naturally as the conversations progress; they're rare, wild, organic, foraged. Their puns, though strong, are artificial, manufactured, like a cut diamond; set up and knocked down in a single comment.

The pun market is strong enough to sustain us both and many others, but our products should not be considered similar.
