Update, I found a link to the camrip of it. No subs though so it’s on you to understand the Japanese, but I uploaded it to Tankietube: https://tankie.tube/w/t3dKNtc5APRzWnfqL5nMku

Not as much as some of my annoying ass coworkers do, that’s for sure.

Glancing quickly at my timeclock app, I took 23 days of time off in 2025. Most of that was PTO (because we have unlimited PTO/Sick and I am too lazy to really mark them properly).

For example, at least 6 of those days are legitimate ‘sick’ days according to our employee handbook (because they were days I requested off for doctors appointments & our company counts those automatically as ‘sick’ days even if it is just me requesting the whole day off because I could only get a dentist appointment at 2pm on a Friday and I didn’t feel like clocking in & working a half day)

I don’t think that’s an insane amount of sick/pto to take, given that back in like 2019 when we didn’t have unlimited PTO/Sick, we got 20 sick days a year and earned like 7 hours of PTO a pay period. I have a pair of married coworkers who will request off 2 weeks for Christmas/NYE, which is part of our busiest time of the year, and then request another 2 weeks off during Memorial Day, and will frequently just call in sick on random days & they get away with it.

It is really, Kmart said, how much of an issue it makes for the rest of the team. One could argue that a lot of my coworkers take advantage of the fact that they are technically siloed into their own duties/roles, so them taking a week off every 2-3 months isn’t really the end of the world. (I don’t agree with this because I am always picking up the slack when we’re missing 3-4 people on the same day)

literally what Anno has wanted since like 2005 lol

In a way you’re my Nymph Circe, HexReplyBot. The world of adults is twisted…

The Asuka short was shown at the anniversary event and supposedly they were real strict about no one recording it & threatened to sue anyone who posted it online. I haven’t been able to find anything on it either besides the fact that it is supposedly titled Episode 27 (as it is written as a bookend to Asuka of the original/EoE continuity)

Supposedly it will get some sort of physical release though according to Japanese twitter users who managed to see it at the event so

I could only find these terrible screencaps, not sure if these are from the event (but it looks like it given the instruments on stage in front of the screen)

yoko taro isn’t really a draw for me but ok I guess, since I liked Thrice Upon a Time and it seems like it’s gonna be taking place in that universe from the trailer but I’ll also take a completely new setting/cast too, since that has been mentioned time and time again by Anno that he thinks Shinji’s story is done (and rightfully so, with 3.0+1.0)

I dunno why everyone in this thread is mad given Anno himself has said before he wants Eva to be like Gundam. You better get ready for Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Thaumaturgy of Saturn’s Pilot (it’s gonna be lit too)

keep up the great posts Alaskaball without you this site’s front page would be respectable

thank you babe i hope you liked the girder erection machine because i did

it’s actually very funny that they refused to move because surely the cops were fellow fraternity members just also participating in the hazing the frat guy just continuing to drink a beer while very clearly trying not to get arrested for having 50 18yos standing shirtless in a dark basement.

one of my friends who rushed one of the party frats at the number 1 party school in our area used to tell me a story about how, when he was a pledge, they made all of them sit in their frat-house basement and listen to the chorus of Revolution 9 on repeat (which, if you don’t know, is just ‘number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine’ over and over) apparently for hours one night. they had to keep drinking the entire time and weren’t allowed to turn on the lights or use the bathroom & apparently several of them pissed themselves. i always believed him (because he was the type of guy who wouldn’t lie if he knew he could get a laugh out of a true story)

anyways i’m like 99% sure they were doing some sort of even more heinous variation on that but it is extremely funny that they have SO MANY pledges in there lmao. like even my friend, the way he described it, it was only like a dozen of them for a single night - like 12 hours max. why why why 50 of them be in there and believe so strongly that the cops are also hazing them groupthink at its strongest

ah yes, this will be a normal Hexbear thread I’m sure where everyone has definitely read the article in full

I’m not electing a fucking owl to lead the US. It will be me.

if i had to choose ANY hexbear to lead the US I would NOT choose a fucking moderator. this is how you know the OP is a liberal

hubris i think

thank you flipturn the band for putting into words my feelings (i do genuinely love that song and it is in my top 5 songs i’ve listened to for the first time within the last year or two)

You are an owl of impeccable taste and culture. Your plumage is divine.

Sweet thing

I’ve been lost in the light every morning

Glistening’s a state of my mind

I’ve been trying to act on your social cues

But you know I need someone else to tell me what to do

So sweet thing, tell me what to do

Well if I knew, I could be a better man

I could be an elephant

I’d never leave you, not again

I’d be sweet like cinnamon

And if we had nothing to spend

We could always sell my skin

Maybe then the madness ends

Maybe I could love you then

this piece went into this little piggy’s mouth as soon as i was done taking this photo

maybe i’ll do that for the skin on my back but it is itchy and coming off in flakes (that I DON’T CATCH) on its own. the easily accessible areas have basically already been picked clean aside from my legs, but they’re looking good they just started to get those ‘you have a sheet of dead skin on your legs’ air bubbles so I’m sure in a day or two my succulent skin will be ready for consumption

yeah i know, i normally do wear sunscreen but I was only there for 2 days and was naively like “i’ll just tan don’t worry” (he didn’t think about the UV rating being 12) & by the second day when I was very clearly red as hell and my friends were like “you are SUNBURNT” the aloe and sunscreen I put on were both a bit too late.
