Brought a union rep from a different shop into a conversation with my boss. My boss doesn’t like me and has been targeting me, as some coworkers have told me. So I brought a stranger to the meeting with me because my own shop Steward sucks.

Incredible decision. Suddenly the ball is rolling in so many directions and actually effecting things. So thankful to the rep and the union.

Is Duck referring to internet searching without using Google?

Slip in when someone else goes for tennis. Super glue the latch to the gate open. Duct tape it for good measure. Gate looks closed but it’s actually open. Tadaa.

Alternatively, smash that stupid fucking keypad with a big rock. 👍

There was something in Hawaii I believe that was harming a bunch of native species, so they brought in the assassin snail to target the other snail killing everything else. Buuuut the assassin snail instead decided the local species were easier and more delicious. Shocking

If you’ve ever been near a paper plant, then you’d understand the horrible smell.

Driving through that stretch is such a shock if you’re not ready for it. It smells like cooking fish and broccoli in a microwave to me. Rotton broccoli fart smell.

I got frustrated with an account a long time ago that was doing the incorrect password -> reset password -> you can’t use a password you’ve already used.

So I set it as EatMyA$$

And now on the very rare occasion I have to log into that account again, it tickles me

I know this is shitposts, but I’m so curious for an actual answer as to what I’m looking at

I feel like a good old fashion rage comic still has a chance for peak humor. But I don’t know if bringing back a gooby meme would really hit the same - I think some are just too esoteric to the time.

I only ask that if we do leave any in the dust, please, please can we stop with Loss? Just kill it already

Something something shit rolls downhill

Utilities. Kinda similar, but I wish I was on your side of the coin :)

Hey same! Kinda. What kind of maps do you do?

Hey hey, I drive a civic and have a bunch of quirky bumper stickers. And one of my best buds has an accord with incredible stickers.

I put my condiments in the veggie drawers and my veggies on the shelves, lol. Can more easily see what I still have and if it’s going bad. Too many goopy cilantro or zucchini experiences

I didn’t make any friends in college (health issues+ I was a little older), but I did my work and asked questions. Apparently that was enough for my main professor to bend over backwards for me. He basically hand delivered two internships to me along with a personal project for credit.

Even if you don’t know many people, gaining opportunities really still comes down to who you know and being decent to them.

I think each hobby and person is going to have some different nuance to this, but in general I think there’s a split. Physical hobbies where one is face to face with peers are more likely to be engaged in similar ways if there’s mixed genders, I think. Co-ed community sports are generally going to have the same vibe from place to place and from gender to gender, or community gardening, volunteering, etc.

However where I think things are much more likely to be different is when one can hide behind the anonymity of the internet. Gaming is hugely divided by gender and how one interacts with things because of that (and age, partially). I feel like if social media or reddit is considered a hobby, then that’s going to have similar divides between genders. I know for sure there can be division in online TTRPGs.

Granted, the online bit might be partially biased as I’ve experienced no end of harassment online for being a woman, but I think the world sees it in general. Gaming is insanely toxic and girls are pushed out or to different genres because of that toxicity that seems to fester with young men in those spaces.

Yep. My grandpa has lost everything after my grandma passed away. So many young women want him! And he could make so much money if he just buys some supplies! And this and that and scam scam scam.

I’d feel bad for him if he hadn’t disrespected the memory of my grandmother so damn quickly after being sucked into these scams.

My mother literally had a gynaecologist just tell her that they’re putting her under general anesthesia for a surgery where other clinics won’t because “we don’t believe in torturing our patients”.

Thank you to that clinic. We need so many more of those in the world.

There are a billion local bee keepers. I get some local honey to help. I don’t really know if the type of honey makes a difference, but I’ve been having some wildflower honey in my morning tea and my eyes are at least no longer on fire.

But, yeah, aside from that, a powerful antihistamine too haha

I haven’t seen bugs mentioned.

If there’s a creepy crawly that is better off dead (ie invasive species), then that thing is being grabbed with a wad of tissue and thrown in the toilet.
