    God, I had such a crush on Casey Jones from the live action movie. Tbh, my dumb ass probably would’ve hired him like this, too.

    What makes this funnier, to me, is that animators and directors all had discussions about how this scene was going to be drawn. It’s not like some rogue illustrator slipped this one in - the studio itself committed to the gag. Plus, it’s very in-character for Casey Jones who is rarely seen without that mask, or unarmed.

    This also has strong video-game energy, like “Dragonborn wearing a chef’s hat”, or “Solid Snake in a cardboard box.”

    it’s been more than a quarter century since I’ve seen any of it (although the theme song is still in my head) … was there any point to Casey Jones? was he like a metaphor, or a stand-in for a real person or something? such a weird character to have a pretty normal name in a show with characters like the turtles, Splinter, Shredder and whatever the fuck that brain dude was…

    It’s a nice suit! You can’t just discount a candidate because they wear a hockey mask 24/7.

    He got a job in the mail room after getting extremely mad and breaking a table during the interview.

    Also he got promoted after threatening the mail room boss.

      When I entered the workforce in the early 2000s, I struggled to get a job. To get unemployment payments I had to attend a weekly session at a local job agency to prove I was actively trying to work.

      I remember the advice from there clearly - “Just think of a place you want to work, go there with your resume, ask them what positions they have and offer to work for free. Then they’ll hire you if they like you.”

            That reminds me of this cringe YouTube short I saw.

            This recent college grad was talking about how he was an intern on Wall Street but decided to take a risk and quit his job to start a company in Dubai.

            He then shows a clip of him in this really fancy condo and then asks if the viewer will do the same thing of following their dreams.

            Where the fuck did he get the money to move to Dubai and start a company? Who’s paying for that fancy condo?

            Pissed me off to no end. He clearly just started working but had plenty of money and then acts like following your dreams is a matter of courage. Fuck off!
