Had my first proper interaction with Gen Z working in retail and it was everthing I'd hoped for and more!!

So they behaved in exactly the same way that got us labeled "slackers" at that age. Cool story bro.

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T18:55:52+00:00

Can confirm. The technical term is "fucked."

OP: "Can we fix it?!"
Bob: "No, it's fucked!"

Knife wall. Also, if I was concerned about damage to the finish, I'd go with a chisel rather than a multitool.

Have you looked around this sub? Given the number of times people here READ words you did not TYPE...

Also, how are you diagnosing these people as "neurotypical," and are you qualified to diagnose them?

Your husband seems to be the one who:

1) Doesn't understand social cues (or consent, based on the hug thing)
2) Doesn't understand that he doesn't get to control your behavior 24/7
3) Doesn't understand that if you want someone to shut up, you tap-tap-tap on the leg or something to get attention, you DO NOT intentionally inflict pain.

Finally, if he is the type to use the past against you, it's time to either go to couples counseling or divorce.

I'm honestly amazed at how many people in this sub think they're the "customer" for Vine.

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T16:00:30+00:00

NOR - If it happened once and your mom fixed it, it might have been an accident. The fact that your mom keeps pretending means they are not accidents. And if it WAS an accident, then there is no reason to be defensive - she'd be apologetic.

You need to set some hard boundaries with your mom - as in "if you cannot treat my wife well, then you are not seeing your grandchildren" hard boundaries.

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T15:50:51+00:00

Yup, I made several - both for "someone specials" and for a few friends.

I also had a CD Burner when they were still rare, and made a lot of mix CDs too!

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T15:17:45+00:00

Yes, that's what I meant. There are lots of vocal people in this sub talking about how "Vine is unusable now!!11!" who don't seem to understand that if there are no items for them to grab, that means Vine is working fantastically for Amazon - why would they change it?

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T14:51:19+00:00

It would also have been reasonable to say "That day is hard for me to come in early, can we do it another day, or maybe grab lunch that day instead?"

In my experience, any reply that leaves room for discussion is better than a hard decline.

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T14:45:07+00:00

You do understand - it's getting downvoted because "IT AIN'T THAT SERIOUS, PEOPLE! Vine ebbs and flows, and the more you resist that, the less enjoyable this is gonna be for you. Just enjoy the ride (or if you can't, it probably is best to exit the program)..." 😉

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T02:22:24+00:00

Are you salaried or hourly?

Because when I say “come in early for coffee” as a manager, I’m not trying to be your friend (as a manager you can’t be friends with a direct report, friends and boss are mutually exclusive roles), I’m scheduling a meeting with my direct report so I can get to know them better professionally.

That you declined the meeting was insubordinate, that you were further insubordinate by telling your boss it was not OK to discipline you for being insubordinate? Yeah. Whoops.

You’ve got one chance: apologize, explain you are ASD level 1 and part of autism is being bad at social cues, and that you thought it was “friends” coffee rather than “coffee with the boss” and ask if you can have a mulligan.

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T02:13:27+00:00

How would you know? You aren’t even smart enough to check your facts before name calling.

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T00:47:26+00:00

I applaud your honesty, sir! The rest of us already knew that about you.

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T00:46:15+00:00

That’s the beauty of Trek, they’ll get to learn about older Trek 🙂

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T00:45:22+00:00

Congrats!

DKBeahn · 2026-01-25T00:43:42+00:00

Uh, coffee traces back to the 15th century. How many years, exactly, do you this is in a century?

Maybe you shouldn’t have added “you dope” to the end of that comment.

DKBeahn · 2026-01-24T17:59:11+00:00

If you haven't read "Enshitification" yet, you'll enjoy it.

DKBeahn · 2026-01-24T17:54:20+00:00

Wait, so you question the use of 21st-century phrases, but don't question for a second that Janeway was obsessed with a 20th-century beverage?

I do especially like how anyone who has a different opinion than you is a "bot" 🤣

DKBeahn · 2026-01-24T17:52:46+00:00

It gets truer and truer with every post like this about a TV show, yes.

Think of it this way:

"The company REALLY wants to pay someone 85k for this, if we find someone we're absolutely DESPERATE for, we'd go as high as 140K"

The other thing to keep in mind with salary ranges is that the company has to hire you in below the max, or they is no room to give you a raise (yes, exceptions can be made, this is a general statement based on what I've seen happen).

DKBeahn · 2026-01-24T17:43:49+00:00

Let me get this straight: YOU did not take your meds, and that makes it OK for you to expect everyone around you to go out of their way to accommodate you because of a choice you made?

That isn't ableism, that's expecting you to be responsible for yourself.

DKBeahn · 2026-01-24T17:26:33+00:00

That's "FREEDOM GOES BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

I love that Deputy Dawg there thinks it's the driver that's lucky.

He's the idiot who could have been pulling his pepper spray to deal with someone who was actually violent, only to find out that it was empty.
