- Comment on The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss 2 days ago:
I have attempted the 2 week’s notice 3 times. Only 1 of which have I actually made it to the end. First job in HS, I had no bad blood, but it was a union shop that paid like .10 over min wage. When the union tried to shake me down for dues (of which they wanted like 2 check’s worth of money since I was the Lowest level and only working part time) I told them no thank you, put in 2 weeks notice, worked til the end.
2nd job it was the end of high school, 2 weeks notice was in bc off to college. The company fires my boss, then I tell his replacement I need x and y days off next week for grad night/ graduation related activities. I show up the next day and it’s a different guy working who made the schedule without talking to anyone apparently. I told him I had asked the other lady for X and Y days off. “Well, right now you’re scheduled to work, if you want those days off, you’re going to need to get someone to cover your shift.”
I’m good chief, I’ll take my last check please.
The other one I had the new job desperately needing help and wanting me to start ASAP, so I worked it out where I was going to grind a 60+ hr week where I’d train in the AM at the new job and take a late shift at the old job. The 2nd day I was burnt out asf. I walk into the old job at 6 pm after grinding 8 hrs at the new job to a severely understaffed store and I was supposed to close down with the worst fellow supervisor we had. She was a very sweet older lady, but she was just slow at absolutely everything she did. I knew that closing with her while short a cashier and a bagger meant I’d be doing double/ triple duty that night and getting out an hour later than usual. I just said fuck this shit and bounced. I made up some sob story about personal issues going on to not completely burn that bridge and actually kept eligibility for rehire, but I was fucking done with that place.

And if you do have said spyware, the robber could be holding up his drivers license reciting his social security number while doing it on video and the cops still wouldn’t bother pursuing the lead.

- Comment on In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app 2 weeks ago:
I remember back when iPods were a thing, I hated how you couldn’t drag and drop files, and manage your own storage. Syncing seemed so stupid, and I couldn’t believe that they were so popular. The thing they had going for them is it’s idiot proof to the point where it pissed off anyone who knew what they were doing. That’s been Apple’s MO since roughly that era, and I can’t stand their products because of it.

I feel like the only people that bought were influencers who made reviews on YouTube and promptly returned them.

Grok was replying to random questions of completely unrelated topics with a diatribe about South African white genocide, so we all got to witness it be tampered with in front of our eyes.

Oh weird, I just assumed it was an abortion clinic. I didn’t even notice it was a fertility clinic. Are these fuckwits mad about procreating against God’s will or something now?

Trump DOJ will fire whoever made that distinction and probably give a medal and a pardon to whatever ass clown committed the terrorism.

It sounds cool in theory, but modern tech companies aren’t going to make what you wanted as a kid. Whatever they make will be heavily enshittified.

My stare does it too, but there’s still plenty of other things that come in paper or plastic bags that I use for garbage i.e. takeout, etc that I’ve still got the same box of trash bags I bought like 8 years ago. Very rarely to I use an actual trash bag.

A person in my discord (with no source, so keep that in mind) sent the attached. He was theorizing that Q-anon was a Mossad operation based on this chart saying Israel has the highest quantity of posts after 2014. He’s fairly left leaning, and not one of the crazies on 4 chan yelling “the joos!” Having said that I have no idea if this chart is even legit.
- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 1 month ago:
A guy I went to HS with definitely did this one time on a dare. A piece of insulation fell out of the kiln in shop class n another kid smashed it n told this kid he’d give him $5 to snort it. No one thought he would, but this dude absolutely railed it. Someone asks the shop teacher later what the tiles were made of and he says asbestos mostly, but it’s fine as long as you don’t mess with it. 💀
I keep checking on his Facebook every couple of years to see if lung cancer got him. So far, he’s still kicking lol.

I hate this. For instance, using u instead of you, autocorrect often turns it to I. It also will fucking “correct” your to you’re when you typed your on purpose. I’m ready to just turn it off. It fucks up my posts, texts, emails all the time. I don’t have this issue on my laptop.

- Comment on Facebook Is Just Craigslist Now 1 month ago:
Not to my knowledge, but nextdoor is pretty clutch for getting secondhand goods and not supporting Meta. Scammers are far fewer, if not, nonexistent because you need to provide an address and verify it with a post card that they send you in the mail. At least that’s how it was when I signed up. Not sure if it changed. The only issue is you have to see all the posts from boomers whining about kids on their lawns or whatever.
