I once played 3 hours of modern warfare 2 with the same group back in the day, just because some guy was pouring out his life story and how much life sucked for him around the time. He sent me a quick “thanks for letting me rant” message and I didn’t hear from him again for years.

Then out of the blue I get a message that’s basically a letter, and it’s all about how life was difficult but some random person taking the time to listen without judgment made all the difference for his plans that night.

So I will never cut someone off to tell them I don’t have time to listen to their problems, or pull out my phone to play a game, get annoyed with someone who won’t stop talking, whatever… Sometimes all a person needs is someone to listen.

Both wrong.

Apologies for the quick and dirty phone edit: https://startrek.website/pictrs/image/e34335a4-afd0-4f84-8962-86a6be5e0508.jpeg

The nacelles Make It Go, the saucer section is the head, and the neck is… Well, a neck. This is the OG enterprise, so it’s old. And old people wear their pants high.

Therefore I submit to you that this is the only acceptable version, even if it isn’t wearing shoes.

My city painted lines in the road, and people still bitch about it 3 years later, the lines are almost gone from fading and chipping, and cycling is still dangerous due to some traffic specifically targeting them for harrasment.

I have my own pair of leggings because they’re comfy AF and if anyone wants to talk shit about that, two things: A, my wife bought them for me and that makes them EXTRA special, and 2: fuck off randy, the only reason you’re so butt hurt is because your massive insecurities prevent your ass from being caressed by a cloud.

I’m just glad “7 Jeffrey combs characters” got changed to “7 Jeffrey Combs”. All is right with the world.

“I have to sort my books!’ she cried,

With self-indulgent glee;

With senseless, narcissistic pride:

‘I’m just so OCD!’

‘How random, guys!’ I smiled and said,

Then left without a peep -

And washed my hands until they bled,

And cried myself to sleep.”

It’ll be fine, just get yourself a day planner! Just make sure it matches the other 3,729,241 that you’ve bought or have been bought for you.

I have no submission, just a suggested word change.

“7 combs characters” sounds clunky

“7 Jeffrey Combs” is still understandable while more closely fitting the rhythm.

Turnover is already high due to shitty work conditions and low pay, but most franchises will also look for reasons to fire so they can keep wages low.

A few minutes later than the customer wants but still within reasonable time? Oooh sorry they called to complain so we have to give you a strike.

Customer doesn’t want to pay? Tough shit, you shouldn’t have given them the pizza without getting paid and that’s two strikes.

You were 30 seconds late according to the managers watch which is 3 minutes fast as proven by everyone’s cellphones and the wall clock? Too bad, fired.

And I’m not exaggerating. I’m just giving a real-world example.

Especially that one. Seriously.

Ultimately I was just done and had already been looking for another job, so I just went ahead and dropped the shit on the floor and spent the rest of the day chilling at the park. I even had witnesses to the insane bullshit.

Always get them to bury themselves before dropping your intentions.

My wife is currently dealing with her employer and their complete lack of handicap spots, despite over 200 regular car spaces scattered all around a warehouse lot. She doesn’t quite get how to “play the game” like this but she’s learning.

One party recording state so I’d like her to go in to talk about it while recording, but her anxiety is completely stonewalling her from bringing it up.

Hit record on the phone, slip it in a pocket that has good clearance for the whole conversation, and get them to say the things they’ve said when they think nobody else can hear them.

Apparently the front office woman screamed at her to move her car (she parked there because the offices are isolated from traffic and have access to her work area)and “it’s not our goddamn problem we don’t have handicap spots, it’s yours so deal with it”

I’m about to just skip around waiting for her to do things and file a complaint with the EEOC or at least the ADA government site complaint form. I’m sure that would take months, if not years before anything ever happened, but I can’t hold her hand and be there when she confronts the owners about their 6-8 missing handicap spots.

Actually, I’ve had more than one interviewer comment on it saying it “shows (I’m) prepared” since many people don’t bring anything to write on and sometimes have to ask for a paper.

As for whether that could be a bonus in getting hired? Meh. 110% depends on the field.

If the question is “will asking unnecessary questions and writing down answers help get this job” then I’d ask if the interviewer isn’t prepared for a couple innocuous questions, then it shows a severe lack of preparedness on their part and I’d question whether I want to work for a place where someone gets shook by their underlings daring to question them.

I fully admit I am already biased against nearly any company that I would be interviewing at, so I’m already more willing to get confrontational in interviews if I feel I am not getting the respect I deserve (you know, the basic human decency of treating every random person you meet as an equal until they prove otherwise worthy), and drop them to keep looking than the average person. I’ll eat ramen and peanut butter sandwiches for a few more weeks if I need to. I’ve walked out of interviews before.

I’ve walked out after the opening “greeting”. “alright let’s make this quick, I’ve got a dozen other interviews today” okay well if that’s how you treat someone here for a simple interview I can’t imagine how you treat your employees on a bad day, get fucked. I literally said “excuse me? You don’t talk that way in a professional setting.” and left.

Then they tell you the previous person was incompetent or something to try and make it seem like they were a bad employee, not that it’s a bad work environment.

“Oh? And who was in charge of their interview?” because unless they have a large hr department to handle hiring interviews, it was probably the person who hired you.

This is when you take notes in your notebook you should have brought with you.

I’ve noticed interviewers get visibly uncomfortable when I write in my notebook. It’s like they’re either trying to figure out if they just lied about something I will be able to reference later, or they just get that natural “someone is writing about me and I can’t read what it is” feeling, I assume the former.

Simon Pegg wasn’t lying in Hot Fuzz. The notebook is a powerful weapon if used right.

It’s an educational program to show how rampant greed and pettiness leads to societal and ecological collapse as those who have stomp on those who have-not, in order to grab everything they can before they blink out of existence from their short, meaningless lives.

A educational program for children.

Any other day I’d see this get laughs, but I guess people are bitchier this time of day.

I’d write down the ISO timecode I’m talking about, but I can’t afford it.

I’m using my phone data because my internet got turned off today, I haven’t eaten since lunch yesterday (mostly depression, not lack of food in the place), my wife is angry about money because I still haven’t found a job, my plans for the holidays are all but gone, and I have no medications or therapists available in the next 6months to help.

I usually enjoy TPM memes but this just isn’t it.

I do now realize what community I’m in, though. I wish you well.
