I have like 6 weeks of vacation. I take random days off just for the hell of it, but mostly because the VP makes me. So there are times I am "on vacation" but I am literally just taking calls in my boxers in my living room instead.

I feel like I might be a workaholic.

I don't know you personally (or do I), but I can picture you becoming quite upset if someone took away your working privileges when you took vacation days. So yeah, you may have a problem.

Get a life!

That's how they get you. Tight, well pressed uniforms.

Good luck....lol

So downside of banking industry is the hours. PTO, bank holidays and benefits are great, but they expect every ounce out of you while you’re working and my current boss takes full advantage of you being salaried. Expecting nights, weekends, and quick turnaround on everything is generally the norm but it’s totally boss dependent.

50-60 hours is probably the average with emails on the weekends and an expected response before Monday.

Whilst I am not a fan of the military I will admit that they all look rather dashing in their dress uniforms

I work uh 38.75 hours but being at a law firm pretty regularly have a random late night. Last night I was doing something from home at 10:30 PM. Thankfully only 1 or 2 attorneys subject me to that like once a month or so.

Even when we went camping, I was reading over files that I had saved...so yeah it probably is. Both me and my gf are workaholics, not sure if that's a good thing yet.

I was reading articles a few weeks ago about interns in the banking world literally dying, most likely from stress and exhaustion. Reports of kids going days without sleep and companies having to institute policies requiring interns not be in the office between certain hours. Crazy stuff.

Is this what the world is going to be like now?

People from ethnic backgrounds making it seem like a movie that is filled with their demographic being ground breaking?
As a black dude (albeit half), I hated how people pumped up Black Panther to be this magical movie, it wasn't, it's probably one of the more weaker Marvel movies story wise, they wasted a fantastic villain (I mean, it is Marvel, that's their M.O), and many other things that annoyed me, but then they just acted like the movie was a masterpiece like Shawshank Redemption or The Godfather. Yeah, f*** that.

Now Crazy Rich Asians, which me and my asian gf saw, is basically Coming to America, with.....ASIANS!!

She turns to me in the middle of the movie "This is like that Eddie Murphy movie you watch every winter..."

Me - "You think?...YOU THINK!?...it's a rip off, but worse."

Get.
The.
f***.
Out.

Everyone has to be represented.
Everyone has to be championed.
Everyone has to be pigeonholed.

As a straight white male, I have no opinion.

SO I bought this gluten free beer that wasn't Daura, it was called Glutenberg. The name cracked me up, I got the blue cans, pretty decent, but just...just falls short.

As a straight white male, I have no opinion.

My white half also has no opinion. My black half is just annoyed.

Glutenberg reminds me of Police Academy

That's precisely the reason I bought it, lol.

Would it have been less annoying if they marketed it as "coming to America, but with Asians. Starts Friday"??

Like. If they were upfront that it's not original and isn't deserving of awards and praise. Just, the same old story with a different lens?

Don't pigeonhole yourself.

Unless you only see yourself as a straight white male. Even then. Everyone has an opinion.

Steve Guttenberg and Tom Hanks were similar in the 1980’s but once the 90’s hit they went in completely different directions.

The Guttenberg got super jacked.
Tom started to do bible movies with ridiculous hair cuts and his best dialogue scene has been with a ball.

You tell me who's winning.

It's not so much that, it's this narrative of....

"FIRST PREDOMINANTLY BLACK MOVIE TO...."
"FIRST PREDOMINANTLY ASIAN MOVIE TO..."

Neither are good movies, so focus on the skin color!

Randy sexually identifies as a Unicorn with bear paws and shark blood. You speak to him with respect, EightyOne.

Wrong thread

Aren't they all?

Tom peaked with the Burbs. Anything else he's done since, is like the Jason Statham of drama for movies. Tom is a drama whore.

He did Turner and Hooch right after. I can’t watch movies with dogs anymore because my pug likes to bark and attack the TV. I cried during that movie.

I'll let you have that one. That and K9 are fantastic Cop/Dog Buddy movies. The best ever made.

Belushi and Hanks need to do a buddy cop movie with a dog as their common partner that they bicker over.
