Thread for things that blew your mind today.

Calls for privatization of public goods such as water, parking and so forth have been growing louder in the US in recent years, and action has started to follow as well. Look up the parking situation in Chicago for a perfect example.

Our corporations and their marionettes in Washington are only slightly behind the curve in this respect but they're working diligently to make sure we become the world leader in this arena, as is only natural.

Nestle is pushing hard for privatization of water supplies.

Also, I went to Houston's Museum of Fine Art today and saw this painting, The Elder Sister. Holy shit it's amazing and much smoother in person than this .png appears, it looks incredibly real.

She's looking. Into. My SOUL. WHAT THE FUCK?!

That's not her sibling. That's her next meal.

WHY IS SHE LOOKING AT ME?

Her eyes follow you. I am never going to this museum. I like my soul where it's at.

I will admit, several times while I was looking at it I had this flashing in my head:

And why does that little girl look like a demonic child Drew Barrymore with a bad hair blow out?!

At work I have this annoying coworker of mine--very young (21), blonde, and fits the bill perfectly. Quite pompous, air headed, her parents told her that she was the greatest thing since sliced bread while growing up and now we all have to deal with her narcissism at work. Anyways, we've been working at Amazon for the same amount of time, and gotten promoted the same amount of times. She really wanted this one job that got posted about two months ago, she applied, needed approval from her manager, he said no. She wasn't ready. So she goes over his head to his boss, asks him for his approval for an interview, he said no, she isn't ready.

The 2 months pass by, and I hear she had an interview today. Turns out she went to her boss' boss' boss boss boss boss bodmdf;';kcs, and cried enough for an interview. She had 2 phone interviews back to back. I asked her, did you prepare for it? She said, "...noo...I'm just going to wing it." So not only did she get a brown-nosed interview, she didn't prepare for it, and now both of her managers who are directly in her apartment are not speaking to her and have her in the dog house.

This level of stupidity and immaturity has literally blew my mind out of my skull.
