Keeping stores understaffed and short on hours doesn't make you business conscious - it makes you a careless cunt.

Employees shouldn't have to scramble, stress and panic between providing good customer service and getting their shit done while having more meaningless corporate bullshit heaped on.

Like, ya'll demand people to bust ass, come in sick, sacrifice mental and physical health ontop of family and personal time, long hours.... nah, fuck that....

The Mandalorian meets Hades for @bobadinweek AU Bingo (because there is a very limited number of Video Games I play (3), and since I couldn't make Hollow Knight work, Hades it was)

A million thanks to @firstofficerwiggles for helping out with the dialogue (any fault is due to my tweaking, their lines were fantastic and amazing!), and for helping me realize that Din would make the most perfect player character (he takes on every single side quest available - after heaving a world-weary sigh, but still - just so he can provide an extra frog/bottle of blue milk (nectar) for the kid he probably acquires after passing one chamber? Good and proficient with any weapon you throw at him? everyone he bumps into throws themself at him to help him on his quest (and possibly have a crush on him)? *chef's kiss* perfect fit!! I didn't feel like scrapping Din's little icon, keepsake and companion stuffie tho, so you can have them too); and to @tosye for the help with Boba's keepsake (stained glass on Tatooine? hell yeah! Also Boba looks like the type who totally gives you a pocketful of sand with that fancy black melon just to fuck with you. Din would probably kind of even appreciate it, the nerd)

6: Tch

7: Not yet.....?

Pag 14

1: His opponent is Onoda, so it will most probably turn into a close battle... so, thinking about that, he plans on starting from the most efficient place?

The other way around....?

3: He plans on going once the “Mountain King” moves?

Manami is

7: Most likely!!

“Maybe”!!

8: The beginning of this mountain is full of zigzags

9: And Manami-kun's ranks are choosing to ride on the right side very close to the guardrail

10: On the mountain, the pack

Pag 19

1: when it's time to turn a series of zigzags, temporarily stretches vertically

If it's a left turn then the cyclists on the left will take the lead, and if it's a right turn then the cyclists on the right will do that

3: From the course map it says that from the next curve the slope will slightly increase

4: It's just a conjecture, but

5: I think Manami-kun will move there

So he's waiting

For the most advantageous position for jumping forward

Pag 20

1: the next right curve!!

Pag 21

1: Manami?

2: He's going to jump forward!?

3: At the next right curve!!

Pag 25

1: Manami jumped forward!! Here!?

Huuh!?

From the lead of the vertical line!!

He opened a gap too large to close in an instant!!

2: He really jumped forward!!

3: Hakogaku' Manami is pushing on

4: I'm going to accelerate at full throttle!!

Go, Onoda-kun!!

Disco Elysium & Language

Okay okay so a bit ago I (foolishly) decided to (poorly) translate all 200-something pages of A Sacred and Terrible Air, despite having zero experience with Estonian whatsoever (so, you know, take what I’m saying here with a huge grain of salt).

There’s a small thing that gets lost in the translation from Estonian to English, the object of my obsession: The Pale

Its original Estonian counterpart is ”halli” (which essentially functions as “the gray” [a part of a whole], as opposed to “hall”, which is just “gray” [a color]).  Hall and Pale are both used to describe the color of skin due to No Blood.  They have similar connotations & uses.

Easy-peasy.  Let’s look at the Chapter 15 title “Hallitus”.  Hey, that looks kinda familiar, I see a “halli” in there.

First we gotta backtrack.  Hallitus is just a noun derived from the verb hallitama.

Hallitama is built from “hall” (”gray”) plus -tama (suffix for making a noun in to a verb, generally means “to make”).  So, hallitama would (should?) literally mean “to make gray” or “graying”. BUT!  It actually means “to mold”.  Like an apple being coated in a gray fuzz, hallitama is “to mold / to go moldy”.  Oooh!

So “hallitus” means “moldy”.  But it also, sorta, means “grayed thing”/”pale’d thing”.

So, we have this word that’s used to describe all sorts of manner of withering, decaying, frail, or dead things.

I don’t know, it tickles the brain.
