I don’t know if you were addressing the specific case mentioned, but if someone has a softball game they want to go to, and they say they have a medical procedure to take care of, that could easily be grounds for termination.

Best answer I can think of is to unionize and negotiate a CA that includes shift trade rights. Short term, I don’t think there’s much you can do if the company wants to be a dick.

Fuck the haters. Buy what you like.

They drastically altered the shift patterns from a relatively simple 2 day, 2 night, 4 off to a pretty complicated 5 on 3 off with 7 start times that you would cycle through each week. (5 straight 2100-0700 shifts suuuucked.) They also made us bid for team assignments. The real wtf moment was when they didn’t bother posting enough vacancies for everyone to bid on because of the anticipated attrition.

People breed toxicity, especially if you disagree with them. The more people a site has, the shittier it is. People suck.

Bidet attachments are like $50–100 on amazon, installable with very little know-how, and your family is under no obligation to use it.

I’m getting ready to umpire a ballgame when I’m like 20. Come out of the room five minutes before game time, and both teams have gone sprinting to the dugouts because this massive swarm of wasps (bees? Maybe bees… it was over 20 years ago) came buzzing right over the field the game was supposed to be on. Heading southeast. Partner and I nope back into the room for a while.

Anyways. The insects continue on doing whatever wasp- (or bee-) like activities they were doing and we play the game.

Game goes well. I get changed and go home. Home is somewhere between 5-10 km southeast of the ballpark.

As I park and get out I notice that the family is freaking out. Swarm of wasps (or bees) had just buzzed their way over from the northwest and taken up residence in one of the walls of our carport.

Fuck you. Imma tear down your fucking walls, Gorbachof.

The phone goes away before the tp gets involved, and doesn’t come out again until I’ve washed my hands. We’re good on that front.

Points for creative thinking, but I would prefer not to get fired and have to seek redress through the courts.

Having very strange dreams. I fell asleep with the tv on the night before. Never really did that before or since. Woke up between the two impacts.

Hope the pilot tried ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬇️⬇️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️🅱️🅰️ start

Well?? Did it help??

“Thank you friend” is impolite? Maybe it’s informal, but I think that’s a great solution to the problem. I can’t imagine anyone having a problem with that except maybe an aggro asshole.

I also enjoy the follow-up, “but the day is not yet over.” (This is a Star Trek reference, but “today is a good day to die” was written into Klingon culture by one of the writers who was a student of Native American history.)

Having experienced both, I think it’s more accurate to say having bad relationships.

Was this a technological change, or did gas stations just not want people loitering on their phones?

A) They need 50 senators willing to entertain that notion. They only have 49. B) If there were one action that I think would be most likely to kick off Civil War 2, it would be packing the court.

Interesting. Any sauce? Just curious why this is no longer a problem.

If it’s straight nights it might not be too bad. I worked 2 days/2 nights/4 off for about 13 years and I would not go back now that I’m in a 9-5.

Unless you’re getting decent compensation for it, I would try and find something else. Humans just aren’t nocturnal.

I could see it online, yeah. If you use a friendly tone in person it wouldn’t be a problem.

I know the 80/20 rule, and that a big chunk of that 20 uses apps, but I’m not convinced. I thought the same thing about twitter when they killed off third party apps, and I ended up being the only one in my circle who moved to mastodon.

Go buy a vowel ya fuckin prick.

Even when he’d accepted contract numerous times before using that exact emoji?

If a person is challenging the opinion of a marginalized person, I could see this being a reasonable response. This person is pretty clearly attempting to overcome their biases. Telling them to do their own research, instead of pointing them in a direction, is asking for them to find the “wrong” person’s opinion and take it to heart. It’s a missed opportunity for dialogue, and contributes nothing.

I believe this is specific to America, or at least it’s not universal. Authorized users’ credit is not affected in Canada.

I don’t think our points are mutually exclusive. Small sites can be shitty while the trend remains that sites get shittier as they get bigger.

No more untucking! I don’t want to worry about showing off my gut every time I raise my arms.

That’s exactly what it was. But the sheer odds of them settling on my house the same day as I worked a game a fair distance away at a park that happened to be in their path to their new home? Pretty fucking high.

You’re suddenly a superstar athlete making tens of millions of dollars. I think we have to disqualify you from the game on those grounds.

I actually like nice catch, as long as it’s not an egregious error. There are often going to be mistakes in a document, even when prepared by someone completely competent. This acknowledges someone as being part of a process instead of focusing on an error.

Because a user base has yet to demonstrate that there will be significant consequences for such actions. Maybe there will be, but they will be less-tangible long-term consequences that can’t easily be attributed to these actions.

This time. He had followed the pattern of contract offer, thumbs up, contract fulfilled numerous times before.

Just to add to this, being selective about which card(s) you use and maximizing bonus points can lead to some pretty significant travel benefits.

I think I must be, because I don’t have access to the Globe. Perhaps this event was posted a couple of times and I read it elsewhere.

Sorry you live somewhere with (even more) regressive drug laws (than my country). Signed, a Canadian.

I’m not big on elected judges. I’d rather keep them appointed so they wouldn’t have to pander to anyone.

Yeah I know, but elections are an overcompensation. Adding term limits and throwing in some anti-corruption reforms would be better I think.

Any that you enjoy the first time.

Outside of Indian cuisine, the best use of achaar is on perogies.

Cuz nobody has said “holup” and made one yet.
