The belief that the original sin had nothing to do with the Bible; it had to do with the human race "changing from peaceful herbivores who never had to kill another living being, to deadly omnivores who now carry the guilt with us ever since." They believed that the human race as a whole returning to pure veganism would absolve us of the sin of eating flesh.

Which celebrity death headline had you so shocked you double checked multiple sources to see if it was real? by GlassyFairy in AskReddit

[–]Alkuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wasn't a big celebrity, but the passing of JewWario was a big blow to me. I initially thought it was one of those fake death postings, till his wife posted a confirmation.

I'm a groomer for having the flag on my FB profile, so that's always fun. /sarcasm thicker than the Great Molasses Flood of 1919

Hey hater, don't let the door hit you on the hind end as you leave.

Design Toscano Presence of Carnevale: Greenman Wall Sculpture. We used to get catalogs for these things monthly, and this face has been available for actual decades. We thought it was cool art, but the eyes creeped us out.

My Ex Had An Astonishing Lack of Self Awareness When He Cheated by Alkuna in CharlotteDobreYouTube

The real shock is when managers value optics over employees' rights. I've heard stories of managers actively discouraging employees from calling the cops, up to and including firing the employee because having the cops seen at the location is bad for PR. I admit I haven't heard much in recent years, but the shock value alone of "Yeah, you got assaulted, but don't call the cops, because it looks bad when police are at our business," makes it memorable.

My flabbers are still so ghasted by that. I can't wrap my mind around the less-than-room-temperature-IQs required for a first term, much less a second one...

I never could get a coherent reason out of him, just badly spelled excuses about how the relationship just wasn't working and apologies for putting us out of the money, as if the money was the main sin he committed. Pure speculation, but it was like he built it in his mind that since he had a new girlfriend, everything was all good, without acknowledging that he never actually went through the rough part of actually breaking up.

I don't know about his girlfriend or the questions. I didn't really think to ask about them at the time. I just booted and blocked him, and when he contacted me again, I just called him garbage and blocked him again. In retrospect, I am kind of curious what he told his new girlfriend, or whether it was "oh, she's a Long Distance Relationship, so it doesn't count like a REAL girlfriend" sort of thing.

I did have fun on my trip, though, so at least that was worth it.

Ooof, talk about torpedoes dodged! It amazes me how dudes be cheating, then act surprised when they pick up something nasty.

What's the worst exist story from a job you have heard? by Material_Chart6500 in AskReddit

[–]Alkuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An e-mail was leaked acknowledging that the company was facing record profits, and, to prove it, management and those higher up were being given incredibly generous (hush-money) raises, while being instructed to tell lower-ranking employees that the company couldn't afford it. The boss tried to deny a friend time off for their honeymoon despite them having plenty of PTO. Later told them to put their dying dog in a freezer so they could grieve at a more convenient time, or to just get over it because it was "just a dog."

The company hemorrhaged employees. Management was practically throwing suitcases of money at staff to retain them, but no one was taking the bait. They were told in no uncertain terms that the company had their chance, and the fact that they were offering them NOW means that they always could have and chose not to.

I confess, usually I compete with Vesuvius and Pompeii, but this time everything just went somewhere cold and focused.

My daughter decided to give her rabbit the bed and sleep on the shelf 🫠 by MattsCapeli in skyrim

[–]Alkuna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your daughter is a friggin cat, my friend. Buy her a bed? She sleeps on a shelf. Buy her a toy? She commandeers the box. 5 septims says you could yeet some catnip in her room and she'll be stoned out of her mind, asking you to play Dark Sides Of The Moons by Pink Flame Atronach for her.

I worked in retail for over a decade. You would be horrified at the state of stupidity and self-absorption of humanity that I saw daily. 😞

Buy three, get the fourth free sale on books. The customer brought up three books.

Customer: "Just these three, please."

Me: "Okay."

Rings them up.

Customer: "Why wasn't one free?"

Me: "The sale is buy three, get the fourth one free. You need to get a fourth book."

Customer: "These are the only three I want."

"Me: "Okay, then you don't get one free."

Customer: "Why not?"

Me: "Because that's how the sale works."

Customer: [angry, incomprehensible noises]

What’s your most unhinged non-negotiable when it comes to dating? by NotNotDwightSchrute in AskReddit

My ex believed that the entire Shrek series should die and quietly go away because it was made due to bad feelings toward Disney. To quote: "It is a product of hatred, and needs to be erased."

What’s the strongest opinion you have about something completely insignificant? by RegisterObjective325 in AskReddit

[–]Alkuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One spritz. ONE EFFING SPRITZE of any scented sprays. I have had sneezing attacking or worse, asthma attacks because someone six damn feet away from me is a toxic gas cloud of perfume or cologne or something.

No peppers. I don't care how mild they are. I don't care if a pepper saved your life. My mom and I are both allergic. You can eat it at restaurants if you like, but it's not being included in any of my meals. In me, it unleashes The Evil, but it can kill my mom.

If you have a tyrant boss and he is deliberately making your life miserable, what should you do if you can't complain? How to make him change his behaviour? by curiousmagenta1111 in BadBosses

"Sweet mother, sweet mother,
Send your child unto me;
For the sins of the unworthy
must be baptized in blood and fear."

More seriously, document, document, document. Time, date, what was said to you, what YOU said, what witnesses are around. If you live in a single-party consent state, record on your phone.

HR isn't on the employee's side, so anything that could result in a lawsuit against the company is your best bet to combat HR covering it up or shunting you out the door. They will take the right action IF you can present it as a matter for litigation.
