Woman Shares Powerful Twitter Thread On Prison Visit Struggles

Liliana Segura's moving Twitter thread shines light on the struggles experienced by folks that try to set up prison visits to see loved ones. It's a bit of a nightmare, to say the least. 

1.

Text - Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura Yesterday I accompanied a woman to see her loved one in prison. We left before dawn to make it for the AM visit. Several hours later, we were headed back home, our visit denied. I wanted to share a bit about the experience. 1/

Text - Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura · Nov 17 Replying to @LilianaSegura As with all prisons, visits are limited to certain days.

Text - Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura · Nov 17 The drive was long, but smooth. We stopped to get quarters along the way, for the vending machines. Some prisons don't allow money inside, so I thought maybe this facility was more relaxed than others I've been to. I was wrong. 3/ 3 27 262 3.9K Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura · Nov 17 The first thing we saw upon arriving was an older woman walking back to her car, carrying her visitation form. She looked defeated. She stopped us and warned that we shou

Text - Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura · Nov 17 The woman told us she had asked the guards at security if she could just go back to her car and leave her extra keys, then come back. Nope. Not only did they refuse to allow her in, she was banned from visitation for 30 days. 5/ 14 27 494 5K Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura · Nov 17 We were stunned-but she seemed more resigned than surprised. She told us to make sure we had no more than $20 in quarters. Also, no earrings, she reminded us-and no necklace

Text - Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura · Nov 17 We went back to the car, took the extra keys off the keychain, and headed inside. Went through security. As I was about to be patted down, the guard smirked and pointed out my (very small) nose ring. "No jewelry." 7/ 2 27 280 3.8K

She repeatedly told the guards that she wasn't mad at them, but pleaded to talk to someone. She was in tears but clearly anxious not to escalate in a way that would lead to reprisals. 10/ 3 27 293 4.5K Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura · Nov 17 A sergeant came over, checked the computer, said it was not clear why the man's status changed but he could not allow us

Text - Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura · Nov 17 I've been to a bunch of prisons in a bunch of states. The rules are always changing, always arbitrary. What is consistent is the casual cruelty; the indifference; the way some seem to relish denying visits for any reason they can. 13/ 33 27 2K 11K Liliana Segura @LilianaSegura · Nov 17 I have been thinking about the woman who was turned away because of her keys, and the fact that she must now go a month before seeing her own loved one.

I could feel the breath and everything and literally just froze for a few seconds, and ran upstairs telling myself "what the fuck" repeatedly. It has messed with me to this day. I'd rather have heard absolutely ANYTHING else because "wake up" just messes with you. Reply 1 281 ...

Text - ThatPancreatitisGuy • 12d I had a dream my dog had gone to a distant corner of our heavily wooded back yard and dug a hole to get out, which was odd because he wasn't a digger. He was stuck on the other side of the chain link fence because the hole was at a steep angle and he couldn't squeeze back through. I lifted the fence up enough for him to get back through. The next day I got home and the yard was eerily quiet. He'd usually run up to greet me. I thought of the dream and walked strai

We set up a tent back in the woods maybe a 30-minute walk from his house. We hung out in the tent listening to music on a boombox and bullshitting, smoking cigarettes like true rebels, standard teenager shit. As the sun was going down, we decided we didn't really want to spend the night in the woods and started walking back towards his house. There was still e

I have this hair raising feeling like something hostile is watching, but don't hear anything. We start walking just a little bit faster, as there's still a little ways to go. We both have this feeling of dread, and out of nowhere we both fucking stop and end u

We have no idea what it was in the woods. Reply 1.5k ...

Tumblr Thread: Significance Of Ratatouille's Chef Boyardee Scene

Pretty dang awesome that the movie incorporated an actual part of history. Many folks out there would otherwise assume that Chef Boyardee was no more than a historical mascot. As we now know, that is definitely not the case.

Text - upontheshelfreviews There's a hidden level of brilliance in this moment: Chef Boyardee is known today for his cheap out-of-the-can pasta, but in his native Italy he was a renowned expert chef. He was reduced to the face of microwaveable eateries after his death. Sound like anyone else from this movie?

Text - ketchuprocket Chef Ettore Boiardi, known today as Chef Hector Boyardee, was a key player in keeping poverty struck families fed for a low price, before he ever came out with the canned pasta line. He would jar his sauce in milk bottles and provide bags of dry noodles for families in Cleveland, Ohio's Little Italy sector. It was during the Depression, and pasta could be made in large portions at a low cost. This was the start of his venture. After years of success, he eventually opened his

Text - jabberwockypie I had thought he was a fictionalized mascot, like Aunt Jemima or Betty Crocker, but this is really interesting. "Proud of his Italian heritage, Boiardi sold his products under the brand name Chef Boy-Ar-Dee so that his American customers could pronounce his name properly." And if you have a name that isn't "standard" in America, that is a Mood. Source: queentianas 121,411 notes

Man Lives To Regret Cracking Dad Jokes At Airport

The desire to crack a dad joke can be too much to bear sometimes. In this case, the guy learned his lesson about maybe exercising some more self restraint the next time the maddening urge to unleash a dad joke presents itself at the airport.

M Happened a few minutes ago and only resulted in minor embarrassment, a reprimand to be careful about my jokes, and a slight delay getting through security. So I'm at the airport this morning with a film crew about to fly on a special flight during covid. I'm a visual effects supervisor (relevant for further on) and am waiting in line with the crew as get our bags scanned. The security guy asks

Instead of apologising and saying I forgot the phone et,. I look up at the guy, point at my vibrating phone, and say, "That's Alarming." Because Dad Jokes. Anyway the guy let's me go, but not before looking like he's going to put me in a choke hold. I quickly pack my bag and begin to head towards the escalator.

I'm feeling very foolish already, so in my most humble In sorry sir, yes sir, I will come with you sir voice, I agree and follow him to his station. The guy tells me to open my bags so he can swab them, my clothes, my shoes and my hat. I say that's fine and open things up. Again. Next, he asks me, "Sir do you have any explosives in your bag?" and without thinking I say "Nah mate, I don't make the exp

I've got a joke about exploring unicorns too, which doesn't go down well with children, but I'm getting side tracked. The explosive detection guy does not think my joke is funny. Probably because I haven't explained to him my job, right? So I proceed to start babbling about computers and films and ... exploding unicorns. I

A knowing look and a raised eyebrow from the guy, as if I also have reduced social skills. He is correct.

Tumblr Thread: Hollywood's Unrealistic Standards For Males

There are documented cases of incredibly fit and muscular bodybuilders fainting on the stage in the middle of their flexing routines, as well as several who outright died, because of cardiac arrest cause

Jerk Manager Gets His Comeuppance

Oh man, oh man, to just have been there to witness the look on Tim's face when he realized that due to his public freakout, he was absolutely screwed. Unfortunately, many folks that have muddled through gigs in the service industry have encountered a manager reminiscent of Tim. In this case though, it's deeply satisfying to see that maniacal, egotistical, and straight up toxic manager get it in the end. 

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/AmbulanceDriver2 • 17h + Join Jackass Manager gets his comeuppance. Entirely too many years ago, I started to work at a fast food company. Let's call it Southern State Not Baked Poultry. Southern State Not Baked Poultry wasn't a bad first job (I was 16) and the assistant manager at that location was my best friend's step-dad, so we took what was tedious and menial and tried to make it fun. He was actually a really good manager, and genuinely cared about the people who worke

2.

Text - This story is about our store manager. We'll call him Tim. Tim was the exact opposite of our assistant manager. Everything had to be taken seriously. Fun was outlawed. Igenuinely hated working with Tim. Tim was an egocentric, power hungry, petty little man with delusions of grandeur because he was a manager for Southern State Not Baked Poultry.

3.

Text - Tim's approach to "managing" was to work the employee until they burned out, when they did, fire them and hire someone else. Needless to say, morale when Tim worked was in the garbage. Tim hated that crews would prefer working with Larry instead of him. He hated that crews had fun when Larry was working. He hated that our store's numbers were always better when Larry worked. Mostly, he just hated everyone. But one thing that he absolutely hated was a silly little thing Larry did. If it wa

4.

Text - A perfect example of what an ass Tim was is this: There was a young woman who due to a variety of stressors, attempted to commit suicide after a particularly grueling shift working with Tim. After she had recovered, she came back for her last paycheck, and Larry was working (not a coincidence - she called the store to find out what day he was working). So Larry sat her down out in the lobby, bought her lunch, brought her last check out, and sat and talked with her for about an hour. It wa

5.

Text - Well, the next day Tim had come in and hauled Larry into the office. His words (and I can quote them exactly, because the "office" was a tiny little cube with no ceiling - just a place to stash paperwork and a computer) were, "The next time the suicide queen comes in, tell her to do it right next time!"

6.

Text - So now you have a clear picture of exactly how petty and vindictive this little man was. Here is where the revenge starts. We were scheduled to have the regional and national bigwigs for Southern State Not Baked Poultry come through our area for an annual inspection. Tim had his eyes set on being one of those bigwigs, at least for the region. Why wouldn't he be, he did everything by the book! That automatically made him a good manager (at least in his eyes). Everything had a checklist, an

7.

Text - Well before the bigwigs got to our store (we knew what day they would be coming) several of us had agreed that on the day they came through, we would all screw up just enough to get Tim to blow his cool. Because our regional manager and the national bigwigs all believed that Southern State Not Baked Poultry was a family company, and that employees were valuable team members. The day in question arrived, and the bigwigs were there for their big tour. Whoops, one of the fryers hadn't had th

8.

Text - Yelling. Cursing. Throwing things. He actually physically pushed me away from the breading station. In the middle of the lunch rush. While the regional manger and several bigwigs from national stood there. While we had a line several people deep at both cash registers. And a lobby full of people eating. Tim stood there, gulping like a fish. His mouth was moving like he was trying to say something, but no sounds were coming out. The room was absolutely quiet other than the beeping of a fry

9.

Text - All the color drained from his face, and he bolted to the office cube. The national and regional folks ended up comping everyone's meals that were in the restaurant. Interestingly enough, Tim was not fired. But he was demoted. To assistant manager. Larry was promoted to manager. About 10 years later, I was working at my current job as an EMT. We had just dropped a patient off at the hospital that was across the street from the same restaurant, and my partner was hungry, so we drove across

10.

Text - The restaurant was empty since it was between lunch and dinner time, and I just couldn't help myself. I stuck my tongue between my teeth and lower lip, and as loud as I could, shouted out "HI, TWIM!" Haven't been back there since, but that was around 12 years ago. I'm willing to bet he's still just the assistant manager there. 6 7 1 1 3.7k I 179 1 Share

Entitled People and Their Demanding Expectations

There is no end to the ridiculous requests of entitled people with their demanding boldness. There are folks out there who will think it's right to ask that someone live in their home, work for them and do all of their house tasks for a hundred bucks a month. There are people who will complain that their neighbors aren't jumping at the opportunity to mow their parents lawn. It's kind of impressive.

Guy Wins Cheap Kayak, Tries To Kayak Across Mississippi River, Almost Dies

Seriously, more than anything else this dude is lucky that he survived to tell the tale of the time that he tried to kayak across the Mississippi River. That is no joke. This basically reads like a real life Oregon Trail video game scene, except instead of the wagon sinking, it was a dang cheap kayak.

Text - Apparently, with good reason. Being impulsive, I of course wanted to do it right then. Instead, I gave myself the night to think about it.. so, yesterday, I threw my kayak on a friend's truck, tossed a bilge pump and extra paddle behind the seat, lashed down a camelbak, and we set off for the levee. Upon arriving, I got everything ready to go, strapped on my lifevest, and pushed off into the river. Once I was actually on the water, I realized why I hadn't heard about many people crossing

Text - My initial response was to scramble back into the kayak. I forgot everything I knew about a wet-reentry and launched myself over the cockpit, shuffling awkwardly until I got my feet back down inside of the hull... when it rolled over yet again, dunking me below the surface one more time. I pushed out underwater again, then tried to climb back in the same way one more time, with the same results. By now, I was starting to feel the cold trickle into my fingers and my toes - | focused on my

Text - I began to kick for the shore. Though the waves were lapping at my forehead, I could tell that the current had moved me closer to my original destination – the other side of the river. I began to swim as much against the current as I possibly could, trying to angle myself so that I would get pushed toward the outside of the stream as it moved me along. Although I mentioned I'm a strong swimmer under normal circumstances, one arm was immobilized for the most part as a result of holding the

Eric Andre Takes Interview Off The Rails

 

The game was over as soon as Eric Andre saw the interviewer start giving his buddy Jay Baruchel a hard time for no good reason at all. From there, the interviewer was overwhelmed by Eric Andre doing what he does best--creating utter chaos.
