I had no idea that “will do” is passive aggressive to some folks. Is it a generational thing or have I just been putting out bad vibes to all my coworkers this whole time?
you fucking guessed it! "Last year, Philz was purchased by private equity firm Freeman Spogli & Co., which also owns Popeyes Chicken and El Pollo Loco, for a reported $145 million, according to Mission Local, though the company did not provide details of the deal."

Support Kyle Fraser’s Recovery after Two Strokes
Some of you may know I’ve been dealing with a personal matter over the last week. Most of you do not. I consider myself a very private person but I need to ask for help at this time. Last week, my partner and best friend, Kyle Fraser, suffered from two strokes in a single day. There is a very long and expensive road ahead, and our friends have been gracious enough to help organize a GoFundMe for anyone who wishes to offer their support. On it, we have written up more detail on his condition for anyone curious. Even a repost or share helps. The link to that is in my bio, my story, highlights - pretty much anywhere. Thank you for your thoughts and support at this time. Apologies in advance if I take some time to reply, I’m taking it one day at a time.
For those who don’t know him, Kyle is probably the most compassionate person I’ve ever met. He is as gentle and brilliant as much as he is strong and funny. He loves his two cats Poly and Moog, and adopted them with the explicit intention of ‘which cats are you having a hard time adopting?’ Though he can be reserved and introverted, Kyle has a fierce passion for his career and will always offer a helping hand to anyone in need, often taking calls to mentor professionals beginning their career. I’ve become a better person through knowing and loving him.

Hi friends, I come asking my network for help. Would you consider donating to Kyle Fraser 's GoFundMe? He is an exceptionally talented game sound designer who has experienced serious health issues in the last two weeks. He needs your help. Thank you ♥️

Congrats!!
Yeah, I think that would be a great choice. I mostly know him for A Strange Loop but the way he draws you into the more intimate and intense parts of the show would work really well with Sinners

I’ve thought about this like…a lot. I really think it could be done well.
You’ll need a librettist that knows how to properly adapt it to the stage, not afraid to make changes when needed, a composer/songwriter that can add songs that fit in naturally and adapt the current songs for a musical, and a creative stage crew to make the big moments translate to stage
Sinners would make either an absolutely amazing or incredibly mediocre musical depending on the creative team involved
My friend showed me the Spiderman Bagel one and that almost broke me
That’s good to know! Maybe I’ll try online first to get a feel for it
I think this is the year I finally break and play MtG. I played once at camp 2 decades ago. Pray for me and my wallet if I have fun, it might get rough
No, because we’ve gotten to this place where everything needs to be explained or include extensive backstory which has made a money grab for studios and a crutch for the human imagination. People need to be comfortable with endings again. Sitting and chewing on the what if of a thing.
