Yeah, I worked at Walmart for a bit and we were taught to look out for weird situations with gift cards and politely ask what the customer’s plan was. If we thought they were getting scammed, we’d get our manager involved to talk to them

Woke up with my stomach in knots, figured I ate something bad the previous day. Texted my work group chat and let them know that I would be useless if I showed up, and explained that I think I ate something bad for dinner. They said something along the lines of “no worries, but you’re still gonna have to come in to at least grab the paperwork for staying home for a day.” Annoyed, I got a ride to work and went to go do the formalities and explained that my boss had already given me the go ahead to stay home, I just needed the paperwork. First guy I talked to had no issue just writing it up and sending me on my way, but when he stepped away for a second I got asked some questions by one of his coworkers who told me “we have to give you a check up first to determine if you actually have to stay home.” She checked my stomach for pain and listened to it make some noises, then decided I was just constipated and gave me something to drink to help. First guy still wrote the paperwork up for me, and I got to go home, stomach in even worse situation and I spent nearly 2 hours on the toilet before I felt safe enough to go lay down and slept the rest of the day away.

(And yes I’m well aware that it’s atypical to get a checkup by your workplace, this was a weird and terrible place to work. Glad I got outta there.)

“I’m glad you brought protection”

Are transgender/nonbinary poorer than average

At least in America, the answer to this is still largely yes. People still get kicked out of their homes or denied opportunities due to their gender identity all the time

Is there a video of this somewhere? It sounds amusing

Potato masher

Person Centered Language

It helps humanize them

It works really well.

Like 90% of the time, yeah. There are some websites/apps where it will fuck up and I have to go open the pass app and tap the credentials I need. Still the best option in my opinion, and it only takes a second to go grab the credentials out of the app

Honestly, it seems like you probably shouldn’t be wasting your time with this woman.

Man you were giving great advice until you suddenly decided that people in the porn industry are incapable of love and only use sex as a weapon. Sex workers are human beings.

No extra steps

So you don’t download your GPU drivers? That’s more steps than adding a launch option

Not quite “just works” but I’d be willing to bet that your computer defaulted to the iGPU instead of your dGPU because you didn’t specify as such in your launch options

They had to stay under the amount that requires them to pay severance, I think it’s 500?

Dayta - it comes from the Latin word Datum which is pronounced day tum. At least that’s what my middle school science teacher would tell us

How do you know how far they live from a hospital?

Unless you care about their use of Denuvo

Yeah, the mod key is my best friend with Sway, I literally can’t avoid using it

TIL there’s a name for this. This has been one of my bits for years

I agree with you. If I have anything to give when I see someone in need, I give it to them. Not because I have some grand sense of purpose or anything. I do it because it makes me feel warm inside, it puts me in a better mood for the whole day knowing that someone else’s life is now a little easier because of me. Does that change the fact that I’ve made someone’s life a little easier?

1000 is a bargain, I asked for $10.4k less than what they were offering and they ran with it

Not just resumes either. I went through 2 interviews for a company, and then was suddenly ghosted after they’d collected the data they needed. They reached out to me, offering a position and when I told them how much I wanted for it (I didn’t realize I’d told them less than they had it listed for, since I hadn’t seen their job openings before being reached out to) they ghosted me and updated their job posting to match my desired pay
