I also haven't worked food service myself, but I've had a number of friends, family members, and acquaintances who have. Out of those people the only ones who have said it was easy money are the friends who worked it in High School and College while living with their parents and being of an age where they were still covered by their parents health insurance and the people who were much older, already retired, and had a sizable nest egg set aside.
Everyone I've known who worked food service after college and/or prior to retirement has said it was some of the most financially stressful work they've ever done. In large part, because they were universally considered part time employees, meaning no health insurance; they were forced to treat even the most unruly of customers with respect and courtesy, which because of the finances attached to customer satisfaction was almost dehumanizing; and even factoring in tips they were paid very little, which wasn't a problem when living with their parents or having most of their living expenses covered by a student loan, scholarship, or grant, but once they had to live on their own and pay their own way through life was barely enough to get by much less live comfortably.
For the few people I've known who worked food service in retirement, it was more for something to do and a way to get some kind of human interaction. The money was a nice side benefit, but far from enough to pay for their living expenses.
Personally, I felt like Win8 was an over correction in favor of touch screens vs Win7. Win8.1 was kind of the sweet spot for getting touch screen functionality into Windows while maintaining a consistent UI between tablets, laptops, and desktops. So much so that I would consider it to be separate point on the chart between 8 and 10.
Win10 did improve the UI a bit over that, but was so much of a step backwards in basically every other regard that I do consider that the point at which Windows started trending consistently downwards. As in, Win10 should be lower then Win7 on that curve, with Win11 lower than that, and no real hope that any future updates or versions will ever improve anything.
It's been that long? My sister has a 5yr old and a 4yr old that I babysit on the weekends and I made the mistake of showing them The Nightmare Before Christmas last year. For my sister and I it was our Christmas movie and I wanted to continue the tradition.
I only see my nieces for two days out of every week, but over the last year I've seen that movie so many times that I frequently wake up with "This is Halloween" stuck in my head or catch myself humming "Oogie Boogie's song."
I keep trying to show them other movies but it's seemingly the only thing they want to watch, and they're so polite about it that it's basically impossible to say no. I keep hoping they'll grow out of it or find something else, but it seems like I'm stuck watching this one movie forever.
I know it's probably been determined to be irrelevant in this case given the focus on Google's search division, and forcing Google to sell Chrome and unbundle it's apps from Android is ultimately a good thing that will have a positive impact both user privacy and open web standards, but I can't help but think that they should also be ordered to spin off AdSense.
I was birthed to that album.
Alaska belongs more in the "acts mean, is nice" category. But it's less "mean" and more "apathetic and disinterested."
That just sounds like the gut biome version of a spworm.
That song goes hard though. Felt bad ending it.
I didn't feel it was rushed, so much as fast paced. The difference being in whether it felt intentional.
They developed the story well, developed characters well, but made use of timeskips to kind of gloss over some important character moments in ways that felt like they were leaving it up to viewer interpretation.
It felt like just about everything was intentional, but it also felt like they left a little bit too much up to the viewer to figure out. It seemed like each arc needed roughly another episode worth of runtime for exposition and to slow down and expand upon smaller character moments for it feel like the viewer was getting all of the needed info. Otherwise, I liked the fast pacing and felt like it worked for the series.
