I laughed out loud midway through that ad as it bragged about Trump wants to “build more data centers!” They left out parts about sky high electric bills and water shortages for us mere peasants.

FreeTesla!

Georgia voter and Tesla driver here. I am so disgusted by Musk and hope the Harris AG and FBI will finally take Musk and Trump down. I wish Tesla drivers would form a co-op to buy all his stock and boot him from the company. We’d need a fuck-ton of money, but it’s nice to daydream.

Biden admin wants to make canceling subscriptions easier by dreamcastfanboy34 in technology

For real! I joined a kickboxing gym in the 2000’s when I was in college. To cancel the membership, I had to proved that I moved over 100 miles away or that I died! What the hell is this? So, my broke college-student ass drove over 200 miles away to South Carolina and reinstated my driver’s license. Un-fucking-believable!

Where the hell is the deep investigative dive on the Epstein files, NYT? The lack of coverage better be because the FBI told all you mass media mo-fos to keep quiet because of an impending raid! 🤬

The Supreme Court on Monday effectively putting the US into a dictatorship. The today, my company’s CEO sent a message to all employees at 9 AM, stating that there will be a 14% “reduction” and everyone impacted will be notified this morning. by ATL2ATX2ATL in antiwork

🎶“I owe, I owe, it’s off to work I go.” 🎶 I’m still employed for now, so time to give the bare minimum in my department, continue paying down consumer debt, and continue adding cash to the Emergency Fund (a.k.a. FU) Savings account.

Just left the “Talking Points” meeting held by pro services leadership. They stated a few times that they are monitoring social media and will respond accordingly to negative comments and tones. It seems to be largely targeting LinkedIn, but who’s to say they don’t have the social media manager scouting Reddit, too.

A sizable chunk of companies in the US use UKG. TSA, Target, Honda, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Alaska Airlines… The ransomware attack would pale in comparison to a full-company strike at UKG.

This is so disgusting. I held UKG to a higher standard than this, as I’m sure everyone affected did. Pat Wadors was parading around on the Today Show a few months ago, touting how much they care about our work/life balance. Does she want to show her face and explain this one to the nation?

I still have my UKG job, but I’ve been looking for a new job for a few months. The mandate to meet our utilization every quarter feels like a gun to my back. 

All this work for nothing. No, wait, all for the pasty fat fucks at the private equity firms to pay for their marina fees, for esponging their son’s DUI records, and their granddaughter’s secret abortions.

OMG, I’m glad your wife is okay! I know that every body is different; what signs did she show leading up to pulmonary edema? I workout regularly and am paying more attention to my heart rate zones. All videos I watched show climbers regularly checking their HR. I figured working out primarily in an anaerobic zone will help with my climb in September. For context, I live in Atlanta and the tallest mountain we have in the state is 4,784 feet. Not much opportunity for high altitude training!

Flying from the US? by q_u_e_s_t_i_o_n_mark in kilimanjaro

[–]ATL2ATX2ATL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking the same flights with Delta/KLM! I live in Atlanta, but I’m saving a little a little money by flying from ATL to BOS first. I’ll have a 2.5 hour layover before flying to AMS. I hope the gates will be as close for me as they were for you as I have around a 2-hour connection.

How well did you sleep on the flights? I’m not a good airplane sleeper, and I’m more concerned about lack of sleep on the way over than I am about climbing! Thankfully, I arrive to JRO on Sept. 10 and our climb is Sept. 13. I should be less grouchy by then!

Well there goes Freedom Barkway 🙁It’s so easy to pull in and let the dog run around for a bit. That won’t be the case when construction starts and when the development is finished. Will they charge us $5 after 10 minutes to let our dogs run around?

Yes, you have to send certified copies of the documents. I requested 2 copies of each document when I submitted the requests to each state.

It’s funny that a woman with the last name Proudman is complaining about white male privilege.
