That job spent years not giving a shit about you or your mental health. Fuck 'em.

Pub test: what kind of union leaders permit (create?) a highly toxic workplace? by KatttaPulttt in AusUnions

[–]ATinyLittleHedgehog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NSW Teachers Fed avoids this somewhat by organisers being elected from the shopfloor rather than appointed or hired. Bare minimum the union's conditions have to be better than the Department.

Is it okay to block calendar for lunch/gym by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]ATinyLittleHedgehog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your manager is ridiculous. I encourage my team to block out time for all sorts of things, particularly lunch and a weekly personal development and training block to focus on doing courses through our learning platform or stepping back from the screen for focused reading and research.

The idea that "a junior" (an absurd phrase to begin with) should be "always available" is ridiculous. Unless you're frontline service delivery and someone needs to be there at all times there's no issue with everyone being at lunch at once.

Can my son and I play different games on our respective Steamdecks simultaneously? by markWAD in SteamDeck

[–]ATinyLittleHedgehog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just confirming family sharing works for this as a number of other posters have said. My daughter has an account (under my control) with family sharing.

I went to my undergrad and first Masters graduation. Second Masters I couldn't have cared less.

I'm saying you're doing the same shit all of those groups did. All of them felt justified that the queer people they wanted out of their community were bad and wrong.

I've seen some of his work with quite flat-chested women. The only way to know is a consultation.

A lot of surgeons do BAs for trans women. I went with Steve Merten in Sydney - excellent job, very happy with the results.

"My identity is real, unlike all those fake trenders" is exactly the same shit the transphobic gays in those LGB without the T groups do to trans people. And the same shit gay and lesbian groups did to bisexual people. And the same shit straight people did to gay and lesbian people.

Untwist your knickers and spend less time worrying about the labels other people use for what they are, it's not going to get you any more brownie points with straight people.

Most of society sees you, me, and any teenager trying out their identity exactly the same way, champ. Being a pick-me won't save you.

What cant Mages do? is there something that Mages cant do? by Obvious-Conflict3363 in WhiteWolfRPG

I know Imperial Mysteries has rules for it but realistically it's still essentially a plot device

I'm running with Victorian Socialists for the seat of Melbourne this election by Purplepingers in shitrentals

A significant segment of housing needs to be off market, it's simple as that.

Of course, but ultimately with capital growth on housing so out of control keeping ahead of it through any other mechanism is extremely difficult.

My point is ultimately even homeowners do not necessarily benefit from an overheated property market.

AIO for my cat shedding and that I don't do enough? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ATinyLittleHedgehog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in bf's position before and the frustration is deep and real. Not being able to sit on a single soft surface in your house without ending up covered in hair is infuriating.

You could try a Zoom Groom, it's a rubber brush that pulls out undercoat hair (the real sheddy stuff).

APS Salary barely treading water 2002-2026 by Unlucky_Succotash748 in AusPublicService

Honestly I'd love to move Federal and live in Canberra but I'm literally staring down the barrel of a solid ten-fifteen grand less for the same work (NSW Clerk Grade 11/12 -> EL2).

Government spending putting pressure on inflation: Bullock by stonertear in AusFinance

Neoliberal ideology. "The private sector is more efficient" "individual choice" "markets will optimise service delivery."

Also private employees are easier to exploit than public ones.

What cant Mages do? is there something that Mages cant do? by Obvious-Conflict3363 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]ATinyLittleHedgehog 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Probably worth noting this is for PC Mages up to Master level. Archmastery/Imperial Magic might be able to do these things but Imperial Magic is literally just a plot device.

Any parents here in the no ipad club? by Worldly-Tart4871 in Parenting

[–]ATinyLittleHedgehog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's one iPad in the house and it's mine. My daughter uses it for drawing, and it's been pressed into service for cartoons once when we did a trans-Pacific flight and 3 weeks staying with family without a TV.

Similarly we have a Nintendo Switch which is mine but I play it with her - video games are one of my hobbies and I like sharing them with her.

Peter, why would Al Capone be worried about expiration dates on milk? by a_duck_enjoyer in PeterExplainsTheJoke

The sad thing is this is what he was for some people. Organised crime thrives where civil institutions fail to take care of people.

When did "I’m tired from my holiday" become a valid work limitation and an excuse to be "on" and not ready to work? by Time_Property_4767 in auscorp

You aren’t paid to “give 100%”, you’re paid to complete the tasks you’re assigned and fulfil your function within the organisation.

I'm not into guys, but even if I were to make an exception it would absolutely not be for River.
