MrsDoyle, to asklemmy in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

My father, a union organiser: “You can love the company all you like, but the company will never love you back.”

Stood me in good stead down the years.

Unbelievably, the hieroglyph next to the bird is a bee. It’s like whoever designed it had never seen a bee, but had them described by someone who knew someone whose cousin was stung by a bee that one time.

MrsDoyle, to asklemmy in What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

Some of the churches where I live have a big banner outside that says, “Try praying”. It strikes me as comically desperate. Imagine a car dealership with a “Try driving” banner, a restaurant with “Try eating”.

Ha ha yes - bees with horns, what a thought!

MrsDoyle, to asklemmy in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I was searching for a fix for some MS bullshit and clicked on a link that had a good answer… and lo and behold, Reddit. “Came for the cats, stayed for the empathy.” Yes, they still have that on the banner. Lol!!

I deleted my account during the “strike”, and this was my first time back. I couldn’t upvote the poster, and for a second that made me sad.
