- Comment on People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like? 4 days ago:
Yep. Not counting the time I spent in traffic, nor the gas it took to drive, today I spent $26 just for the privilege to do the same job I could’ve done at home. Tomorrow I don’t plan on forgetting my lunch, so that’ll save me $13.

It’s my understanding that some people have such an allergic reaction that even the smell fucks them up. It may sound silly, but compassion is in short supply these days, and subsequently should be lauded when seen in the wild.
- Comment on YSK Employers do NOT verify your total work history unless you're applying for a government position. 5 days ago:
Nothing hurts your resume more than having 3 or 4 jobs in a span of 2 years because it shows you are unreliable.
I’d like to add that if you put start/end dates on your work history you should prepare talking points for any gaps this may leave when omitting jobs.

Yep. I suspect that where I work, parking has some role to play in the RTO. I can imagine the department in charge of collecting parking fees saw a dramatic decrease in revenue.
It that what I think matters to anyone (where I work), but any company that owns and manages their own parking facilities should not make employees pay for parking. It’s just bad form. But what do I know?

I can’t speak to what’s said in the meetings, but in a similar vein, we were told we needed to come back to the office 2-days a month because other people had to work from the office, and it wasn’t fair to them.
That’s it. That’s the rationale. Because it wasn’t fair to the people who had to be here. Mind you, my team has been successfully working remote since COVID.
🤦♂️ ~fml~
- Comment on What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship? 1 week ago:
I feel that your examples fall more into the sexual category. In my experience, a romantic relationship must always evolve into a shared life, otherwise it will die out.
- Comment on well? 1 week ago:
The same for mortgages too really. All these people out there toting new construction and how it’s good for property values seem to forget that higher property values means 1) higher property taxes, and 2) higher priority values, for when you sell your home and need to buy a new one.
- Comment on well? 1 week ago:
That would explain why it feels like my bank account is being sucked dry.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 1 week ago:
So the medium is like a car made of liquid and the speed of sound is a passenger?

- Comment on Can I lick it? 1 week ago:
If it’s anything like pool salt, probably not. I have a neighbor who uses pool salt, and I feel like I come out less shriveled (in my fingers of course 😏) than if it were chlorine water.
- Comment on Can I lick it? 1 week ago:
I have to admit that I absolutely love how licking sodium or chloride individually is very bad for you, but when you put them together, you can lick, eat, and even swim in it all day with minimal ill health effects.
Science. 💙
- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 2 weeks ago:
Nope. Micro USB-C.
- Comment on Employees at Amazon headquarters were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery 2 weeks ago:
So they are taking a page from YouTube where they out price the market until they are the market, and then will drastically raise prices because there’s no longer any competition?
- Comment on Why do you think I USE search operators? 3 weeks ago:
All of the search engines I’ve used do this and it is infuriating. If my search returns little or no results, then so be it. Don’t populate my results with bullshit you thought I meant; you’ll almost always get it wrong. I didn’t mind the “did you mean”; it was a suggestion, and a choice that I could decide if I wanted or not. Now they just cram results down my throat, whether I want them or not.
I miss the early 2000s Internet.

Same and I’m from the southeast us.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
No they don’t conflict; they’re symbiotic.
The “American dream” was dreamed up by rich capitalists to encourage poorer people to work harder, longer hours, and to do so with as little humbling as possible. Couple it with the “rite of passage” mentality - i.e. working super shitty conditions because everyone else had to do the same - then it’s the perfect indoctrination needed to convince people that their hardships are their own failures and not the system’s.
Another, simpler, way to look at it is that the “American Dream” is a carrot on a very long stick that is dangled in front of us to encourage us to move forward with their capitalist agenda while making us think we’re getting a reward for our labor.
- Comment on Why do people especially men care if someone forgives a cheating partner 4 weeks ago:
If it were me, I could not rise above and forgive. But that’s me, and how I feel has zero bearing on you and your boyfriend’s relationship. I also wish you both the very best and a long and happy relationship. 💙

It’s always never.

Other way around.
- Comment on Is flirting redundant? 5 weeks ago:
Flirting is a means of communicating that a person likes another person. If no one flirted, then meeting people would be even more difficult than it already is.

Beer is made from water. So drink more “water”. 😉
- Comment on Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1% 5 weeks ago:
I have a dentist office near me that also offers Botox. There’s also a boulevard that has a billboard advertising it. My area is not exactly considered the most affluent of areas.

Body Dysmorphia is real, and will trick a person into seeing themselves very differently than everyone else. American Dad did an episode on this once.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 5 weeks ago:
Sometimes the best response is no response at all. Silence can be deafening.

You are allowed, and sometimes encouraged, to not say anything.
