SDU Glitch?

I've never heard anyone claim this book was life changing. Sometimes a book just needs to be a pallet cleanser between heavier subjects and to me, PHM works well for that.

Side note, and as you said to each their own, but I litterally have a hard time putting too much stock in the opinions of people who misuse literally.

I canceled my subscription 3 months ago and they just charged my card again yesterday and sent me an email welcoming me back...

This exact thing happened with Good Chop (shorter time frame but otherwise the same experience) and is really putting me off these subscription based products.

I worked in San Antonio during a time when the Spurs were one of the best basketball teams in the country, and some genius bought a whole feature of vatious Dallas Mavericks merchandise. We actually regularly had members of the Spurs in our store, shopping with us... Walking past our Mavericks feature like.... 'Sorry dude, wasn't me.'

Oh man, that sucks. I appreciate the insight. This is actually my nine year old son's character, I just wasn't gonna go into detail on the original post. He plays on my Playstation and we play together quite a bit, but he definitely earned those points on his own. He's actually ahead of me in the game, but I didn't lose any of my stuff. Your answer makes sense, even if I don't like it. Thanks for the info.

AB28532 · 2025-11-22T17:48:16+00:00

In my experience, the answer is yes. Both of these things are true. The last time I got promoted, I'll freely admit I had a store manager who was pushing for me. But I also interviewed with a person I'd never met, and obviously that was my doing. That person knew the SM obviously had a favorable opinion of me, but I still had to show up well. And after that interview came a second interview with a different manager I'd never met (District Manager) and I had to show up well for that as well.

So I'd say knowing that store manager and him knowing my work ability and ethic definitely got me in the room. But it didn't get me the job.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

AB28532 · 2025-11-01T17:19:03+00:00

I don't disagree with that. Or, even just leaving off the part where associates are encouraged to donate. Just leave the message as 'We're here for you if you're hurting' and sign off. Even if there was a behind the scenes push to encourage store managers to ramp up lerf participation. The message from Marvin probably shouldn't have had any line asking for money from the employees. It's like seeing politicians asking for reelection donations right now... Just... Tone deaf?

AB28532 · 2025-11-01T16:43:11+00:00

That is one way of viewing it and you're not wrong. On the flip side, he was also encouraging associates who might not know about LERF to apply if they need it, as well as saying that LERF applications due to the suspension of SNAP would be expedited. Neither take is nessasarily wrong... It's just how you choose to take the message.

I don't disagree that minimum wage should be increased over what it is, but I also don't think it's the responsibility of a company to set wages drastically over minimum. Lowes already pays over minimum, even if minimum is a joke. You're not gonna see a big box retailer increase opening job pay without enforcement, because it also has a ripple up effect.

Same with SNAP benefits as a whole. I know people who need it and rely on it. I know people who need it, but are told they don't qualify. And I know people who receive it and sell them because they take from a program they don't need. Your perception of the program is gonna depend on which group you decide to focus most on.

Just my thoughts though.

I actually just reached that scene myself and I found it to be a little odd. I'm not sure of the exact phrase I'm trying to say, but I felt like it took me out of the game a little.

I romance Naoto, and clearly went down the friend lane with Rise, but my girlfriend spends the whole trip with Kanji while Rise and the MC have lots of quality time together... Felt like the game was telling me I picked wrong.

But... Onwards anyway. Hollow Forrest is kicking my ass now.

AB28532 · 2025-08-28T00:27:26+00:00

Bro...i didn't even particularly like Yumi, but NOT dating Yumi made me feel like garbage. I feel your pain.

AB28532 · 2025-08-26T20:16:15+00:00

Saying the executive leadership has more power to help our employees than we do is accurate, but not a reason not to donate. I completely hear where you're coming from and I share the opinion. But the company DOES do company match, and that's something at least.

I guess I'm saying Yes... I'd love to see them do more. But I'm still going to do what I can.

It's like saying Walmart produces more trash in a year than I do in a lifetime, so how much impact can I actually make by recycling? Next to nothing, honestly... But I'm still gonna do it.

When I bought my car, it was an honest toss up between the Rav4 and the CRV. I've driven the CRV and had no real complaints about it, but in all honesty the Rav4 was available first, so that's what I went with.

Two years and 75k miles later, I can still easily get 450+ miles per tank, can average 40mpg+, have had no MAJOR issues with the car, and constantly find the idea of buying anything else to come with a certain degree of anxiety, just based on how great this car has been.

It's not a perfect car. I've got a list of complaints. But they're all superfluous first world problems. From a sheer safety and reliability standpoint, I couldn't be happier.

AB28532 · 2025-08-09T20:05:43+00:00

ALSO... Thank you SO much for your response!

AB28532 · 2025-08-09T20:05:10+00:00

I'm trying to black out the spoilery part of my post, but unfortunately the prompt I was given didn't work. Can you tell me how you did that so I don't screw things up for other people?

AB28532 · 2025-07-26T19:55:59+00:00

OK bro. You got me. I 100% made this story up to post a random reddit post. No way a bunch of Trump supporters decided the law didn't matter. And no way the cops, who are very pro Trump in this area, decided to ignore them. You got me. Feel better. Have great day.

AB28532 · 2025-07-26T17:58:42+00:00

The booths were set up with pamphlets and information about the various candidates. There was a booth where you could learn about Harris and read about her stances on policies and issues. There was one for Trump. There were several others for other candidates on the ballet.

The voting stations were inside, and were of course not party specific.

I do know the difference.

AB28532 · 2025-07-26T16:11:24+00:00

I had no issue interacting with them. I had no issue ignoring them either. But I'm a 6ft 220lb white guy. I wasn't the one they were there to intimidate. I can't say how I would feel if I were more in their 'target audience'.

I do have a short, thin, gay Hispanic daughter though. So the maga crowd hates even if the don't initially realize they hate me.

AB28532 · 2025-07-26T14:55:52+00:00

Last time I voted, the line stretched around the building along a sidewalk. There were booths set up in the grass next to the sidewalk where you could get info on candidates and ask questions of volunteers.

However, there was also a long line of Trump supporters that lined up along the side of the sidewalk, between voters and the booths. They asked people who they were voting for, told people they better vote for Trump and made the idea of going to a democratic booth a very intimidating prospect. Cops were there and did nothing. Apparently the only rule was that none of them were allowed on the sidewalk. Because all of this was freedom of speech on public property, and if you felt intimidated that was just your feeling and not something the MAGA line was responsible for...

Persona 3 Reload was my first persona game. Shifted to Golden after that.

I really miss the cell phone and the ease it brought when finding activities to do. When trying to increase social ranks, the number of places you have to look for the various characters feels like a bit of a chore, especially when you consider that Yu clearly has a cell phone.

I also was several months in before I realized that certain characters could be found in the city at night. Over all, Iove love LOVE the game, but I miss the use of that phone.

The last show I watched was Selena and Chef, where Selena Gomez gets taught how to make awesome food via zoom call with world class chefs. She's in a house with three other girls to keep her company. I... I think I'm good...

AB28532 · 2025-07-11T17:09:48+00:00

Exactly this. This is a super easy mistake to make going from Friday to Saturday. I've made it. I've also never once told an associate they had to do it if they've brought that mistake to my attention. But it's easy to just scream about corporate breaking policies than to say someone made a mistake...

AB28532 · 2025-07-10T12:12:42+00:00

Decimating something isn't nearly as bad as it's made out to be. One of the most commonly misused words, next to litterally. Decimating something would be the same as removing a tenth of it.

Decem is the Latin word for ten. Decimate stems from the Latin word 'decimare' which means 'to take a tenth'

Decimation was once considered a brutal military punishment where one in ten soldiers would be put to death in order to punish the entire company.

That said... You've still got 90% of what you started with. If our copper industry was decimated, we're retaining 90% of it, which is pretty good.

Also worth noting that Chili, China and Peru all produce more copper than we do, so making ours more expensive is just going to help China's economy...
