Company affirmations and cheerleading. Things like that. And they would browbeat employees. Massive social pressure to conform and to make the company part of your identity.

Nope, “cult” is not too strong a word. Those are cult tactics.

Public knowledge vs. common knowledge. They want to prevent it from being the latter.

They want land. They will murder to get it.

Does that mean they don’t (or can’t) steal information when you’re screen casting?

While we’re introducing Canadian fries to the world, everyone should also learn about Newfie fries: https://www.therecord.com/things-to-do/getting-to-the-bottom-of-newfie-fries/article_5d089bb9-2330-5bc0-bfef-62c682497853.html

(Photos don’t do it justice.)

We really don’t.

I wonder if it’s because 2-year-olds are usually pretty noisy, so when they’ve fallen asleep, it’s easier to forget that they’re even back there.

If Ruby’s guess near the end is right, the whole point of her being there, haunting her, making people run away, was to make specifically this one man run away in terror, and there’s no way whatever that was had anything to do with anyone else abandoning Ruby. She simply says something so terrifying that people run away, that’s it, it doesn’t matter what exactly, and it doesn’t even have to be the same thing for everyone.

Which makes me think that perhaps it’s like psychic paper: she could say anything (or even nothing), and the experience would be the most horrifying, disgusting, or terrifying thing to the listener, enough to drive them away from Ruby forever.

I have a theory that they were reinforcing, for the much younger crowd, that these were special babies who were very capable and independent in ways in which regular babies are not.

Which would be pretty ironic because she was apparently the only one of the other actors who was nice to Judy Garland.

He also played a pretty convincing psychopath in Secret Smile.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched, too, but I remember this part because most people misunderstood her motives for cheating, and I’ve had to explain it before. Walter had shown her, at this point, how awful he was and he had also made it clear that she was stuck with him, doing whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, and that he wouldn’t leave and she couldn’t leave. She was trapped with him. The cheating was a chess-move, a deliberate choice to make him leave, because it was the only way she could make him.

They wind up with a humanitarian aid camp.

My sensitive, eczema-prone skin say, “No.”

Sporrans are optional. It’s just a satchel that many people wear with their kilt to carry personal items, but it’s not essential, unless it’s part of a full uniform.

Duckduckgo is the superior of the two.

That’s great, but what do you put the bread into? A plastic bag, or do people just carry them around bare? What happens if someone drops it and decides they want another, or just changes their mind about buying one? In North America, they’ll probably just put it back in the bin. Now the next person gets floor bread or, at least, something that someone else has been carrying around until they changed their mind.

Paper bags have to be left open to let the moisture vent and allow the bread to crisp. That doesn’t work on the grocery store floor. We tried it. Our first bags were paper.

In a regular bakery, the bread is behind the counter, out of reach of the patrons, correct? In a grocery store, it’s all on the shelf, where anyone can touch it. This is much more sanitary. I wouldn’t buy any that weren’t wrapped up.
