I Gave a Thousand Typewriters to a Thousand Monkeys, but Instead of Hamlet, They Just Keep Writing Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar Any scientist worth their salt eventually becomes accustomed to unpredictability. The unfortunate reality is that the majority of experiments fail—lab rats explode, bacteria escape the petri dish, etc. Still, I never anticipated that things could ever go this awry. For the past decade, I have been conducting a highly expensive and groundbreaking…

( www.reddit.com )

Same company gave two offers to choose from Option 1: $115k base with $7000 net sign on bonus OR Option 2: $120k base with no sign on bonus There is also a nominal 12% annual incentive and standard company 401k match that applies to both offers.

Update: They gave me a new palette after the old one grew molds.

( www.reddit.com )

Update: They gave me a new palette after the old one grew molds. I messaged DM and told them my palette grew molds even when I kept it in a cool place, dark room and never double dipped my brushes. I got it from Sephora and initially they told me they cannot do anything since it was sold by a distributor. I told them that was fine, but I would probably not buy anything from the brand anymore and linked my Red…

What scene from a show gave you the strongest feeling of second-hand embarrassment?

( www.reddit.com )

What scene from a show gave you the strongest feeling of second-hand embarrassment? Basically what is the hardest you’ve cringed and wanted to fold up in to your couch watching a TV show?
