Everything&Nothing: A Collection of Thoughts

I keep reading and hearing about this "worker shortage", and to be frank about it, it pisses me off. I understand that sounds strong, but the truth is that there isn't a worker shortage. There is not a shortage of workers; the painful truth is that this is as close to a general worker strike as we may ever see.  Before the pandemic even started, people were still having a hard time finding suitable employment, or were underemployed, and most people were handcuffed to jobs that left them wanting for whatever reason. When the pandemic hit, and people got laid off they had an opportunity to do other things.  Some people went back college, some people took the unemployment money and started their own business, and some were just enjoying making the most money they've ever made since they started working. Seriously, some people were making upwards of $2k per month and the most they were making before the pandemic working one full time job was $1500 a month.  Whatever the c...

  You  season 3 dropped on Netflix about a week ago now. I finished it today, and I was highly disappointed with the show. I liked the first 2 seasons of the show, so I was really looking forward to seeing where this new season was going to take us, but by the time I finished the season, I knew I was done with the show.  Before I get too far into this, I'll explain a little about the show and do recap, for those who have seen the show, you can skip down past the recaps to see why I didn't like the 3 season. Be warned that from this point forward there will be spoilers.  Season 1 Recap You  is a controversial show on Netflix, and rightfully so. Joe Goldberg is You's  main character who happens to be a stalker and a murderer. In the first season Joe meets a woman named Beck that captures his attention. After meeting her just once he becomes obsessed and does everything he can to get to know her. He stalks her online presence, and follows her around.  Whi...

Yesterday news broke that Alec Baldwin had killed Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza on the set of the new movie 'Rust' by firing a prop gun that may have had live ammunition rounds. This accident has renewed the debate on whether real firearms are used on the set of movies and tv, but what really happened? There hasn't been a lot of information regarding exactly what happened, and rightfully so, it is an open and ongoing investigation, but if we use a little common sense while scanning through the different articles, it would appear that they were working on a scene when the assistant director gave one of the prop guns to Baldwin. He let everyone know on the set that it was a "cold gun" which is jargon for an non-lethal weapon.  Now this is where the details aren't quite clear because one article I read said that they were shooting a scene and another article said they were rehearsing the scene. Personally, I believe they were shooting the scene ...

To say that I've been waiting for weeks to see this movie would be, well, the truth, but to illustrate my point I'll tell you a little story about just how badly I've been wanting to see this movie.  Aright, so I'm fairly certain that the first time I heard or saw anything about this movie was about 3 weeks ago. I think it was an article that I saw and maybe later that week I saw the preview for it. I thought it looked exactly like that movie with Halle Berry doing the exact same thing, so I figured Jake Gyllenhaal is involved so it might be alright, you know?  So the following week I think I read another article that actually talked about the movie, and I thought maybe it was already on Netflix, so I popped it on and sure enough it wasn't there. Between today, the day I actually watched the movie, and the first time I checked Netflix to see if it was there, I did that shit about 4 more times because I really kept thinking it was there and in my pure excitement woul...
