‘bread is bad for you’ ‘rice is bad for you’ sorry im not subscribing to the idea that staple grains that have been integral to cultures for centuries are evil. i love you carbs
I hate that the cosmetology industry has brainwashed stylists to accept the bare fucking minimum.
I’m fully convinced that the more someone posts about how much they love their job the more they’re struggling with it.
We went to school for this and the fact that even massive corporations don’t offer good benefits with a pay of more than $8-10 per hour is an insult to the amount of education and knowledge required for this position.
I’ve been a stylist for 5+ years and I have never breached $20k a year. “Well the more you work the more you make!” how bullshit is that?? So I have to sacrifice time with my friends and family just so I can pay my bills? There’s no overtime benefits for whenever a client changes what they want and I have to stay past my shift by a few hours?? How about you pay me a salary and I come in, do my job, and go home.
No, instead I have to do all my own marketing, have my own tools, and then you take 60% of the work I do???
best thing i ever accepted about people is that most people are just kind of gross like, physically
like most people have gross little bad habits and let the laundry go a little too long and sweat in weird places and are messy eaters and have weird laughs and are a little greasy and asymettrical and have stains and tears and wear on the things they own and its like literally fine and human. we dont need to worry about that stuff and frankly we should kill whoever is responsible for making us think humans are even capable of being perfectly polished made up hygeine machines 24/7. we are little animals we came from the dirt and sometimes you scratch your buttcrack or pick at scabs or what the fuck ever it is literally normal animal behaviour !!! let the soft animal of your body ect ect nd sometimes the soft animal of your body is a little yucky.
I just want to remind you that sometimes your life really doesn’t begin until you are 26+… Romanticizing and obsessing over our youth is harmful. Growing up is beautiful. Discovering who you are and how you interact with the world is a gift. Maturing and learning what you truly want out of life and living in that purpose brings fulfillment and peace. Your life is not over in your early 20’s because you haven’t figured it out yet, it’s just beginning.
I think about Power Wash Simulator a lot more than I should. The gameplay wasn’t great (it was passable for a ‘something to do with your hands’ kind of game, but it’s no Hardspace: Shipbreaker on Open Shift or anything) but it lives rent free in my head for having such a batshit story presentation. I cannot stop thinking about how they actually made that.
It shows something that I think most horror games lack, a division between the character’s mission and the story plot. Power Wash did a great job of feeling like the character is falling down a rabbit hole as a side effect of just doing their job.
It’s held together by loose threads that tighten up as the story goes on, slowly converging into being one thing.
The plot is not suspenseful, it’s just there and it waits for you.
It’s also extremely funny how they manage to tie the plot not just into power washing, but into the limited functions that you expect from a power wash simulator. Like through the whole thing the ONLY things you can do are what you would expect from a power wash simulator – accept jobs, clean stuff, and receive messages from clients. You don’t have other functions that a guy who also has a power wash business would be able to do, you can only do Power Wash Simulator stuff. They commit to the bit. They do not cheat and give you extra abilities. You experience the entire story as a power wash simulation and a power wash simulation ONLY and that is just so incredibly funny to me.
It has plot???
It has the most unhinged plot that you could possibly put in a power wash simulator. There’s time travel and aquatic precursors to humanity and an averted apocalypse involved and all you do is power wash.
