Due to being created by the same development studio (GameFreak) and sharing a composer (Junichi Masuda), Pokémon Red and Blue appears to reference a musical theme from the Japan-only Mario & Wario for the Super Famicom, released 3 years prior.

From 0 to 11 seconds in the audio track, the Route 24/25 theme from Pokémon Red and Blue plays. After this, the Balloon Bridge (World 7) theme from Mario & Wario plays.

Hey here is your friendly reminder to not tell your nice boss stuff.

I’m at the executive management level for my very small company and I have 4 people who report directly to me. I am a nice boss. I’m friendly with my employees, I treat them like professional adults, I actively try to create a positive work environment, and I mentor them and make sure they’re advancing in their careers. I do my best to shield them from the rest of management doing stupid shit. My employees like working for me.

The other day one of my employees came to ask if she could change her hours on Mondays. I said yes immediately because it’s helpful for me to know when she’s here and when she’s not, but as long as she gets her work done I don’t care when and where she does it. She then proceeded to tell me that it was so she could attend therapy and like … I will never use this information but … as a general rule don’t fucking do that.

Do not tell your employer shit about your mental or physical health except for the bare minimum needed to request a reasonable accommodation. Even your nice boss can fire you, even your nice boss can unfairly change your working conditions, and even your nice boss at some point is probably going to face pressure from their superiors.

I’m not saying don’t trust your boss with anything ever. I’m just saying that anytime you are in the workplace you need to keep your private information private. You can still have a good relationship with your boss. Your workplace can still be pleasant. But if it ever feels like disclosing private information is required in order to have a good relationship with your boss, please see that as a red flag.

This post got a like out of nowhere and I only vaguely remember writing it and I’m not entirely sure which of my employees inspired it, but it still holds.

I feel safe saying don’t trust your boss with anything ever.

It's funny how rose-colored glasses really alter your perception of the past.although I can vividly remember the awful anxieties and fear I felt in high school and most of college, I can't help but miss the few good times I had. I think it's mostly due to the desire for a time when things were simpler, more innocent, and my understanding of world events was far more sheltered. Even here, I look back to how tumblr was when I first got on this site. I had SO MANY cringey posts and takes, yet I do miss the sense of community and the real possibility of making friends on here and meeting up with them. It doesn't consume me (thank god) but once in a blue moon I'll look back and think, "Man, I really wish I learned to appreciate what life was like back then"

Tesla is tanking so hard it is dragging the entire EV segment's sales down into the negative. When you omit Tesla from the equation, EV sales are up 13% across the board.

Don't let anyone tell you EV sales are in a slump.

"EV sales are in a slump" is actually a statistical error. Rolling Deathtrap Georg, who lives in South Africa and spends billions of dollars a day trying to convince people he's cool, is an outlier adn should not be counted.

the hatred for coal mining and coal power leaving my body when i see bagger 288

everyone in this picture about to eat the untelegraphed aoe

😳 <- this emoji but without the blush or romantic connotation. im not blushing im staring you directly in your fucking eyes

if you excuse the bad editing it would look like this

can we hit 150k before this piece of shits one year anniversary

u know before yellow emojis took over as automatic, the one we used for this exactly was O_O . which has unfortunately become the shortcut for the stupid blushy one. but we also used to emphasize the emotion by making the mouth bigger, O_________O . there was also o_O , for when you're weirded out, and o_o for small weirds or intrigue. you could use a period instead of an underscore for the mouth, o.o, O.O, which was a little more like shock.

there was also -_- for when you're annoyed. -_-* for pissed. the asterisk is a forehead vein. a very bad day or very bad joke could result in -___________-********** .

anyway that's your history lesson for the day, dont forget your roots.

let us also not forget the meekest of them all: ._.
