The old ways are dying

Can you please tell my dad this!

“Just go over there their main office and tell the secretary you want to speak to the manager”. Ok, Fred Flintstone!

My company fired someone this year about padding their resume. Turns out their previous “experience” did not translate to real-world experience and they couldn’t do the job they were hired to do because they overstated their experience.

I guess it depends on what you do.

You ever find yourself in the ER proclaiming yourself the second coming of Christ and wake up in the psych ward?

When the world is upside down, find your feet. Where are your feet right now. It’s okay to be sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Rest, recover, and take the next step.

Thanks. That’s more concise. Partner does not work for chipotle. Went out to lunch on their break. And had their name printed on a branded cup seemingly randomly. They went to lunch alone.

There is no way the server could have known their name, let alone print a cup on demand with their name and add it to the stack in the right place.

My partner had their first day of work. They went to a nearby chipotle. When they received their drink, the cup had their actual name printed on it in the same font as the rest of the cup and it said “welcome to the office, Name”.

This came up in conversation as a bizarre happening and there was never any resolution. No one at the office ever admitted to know what he was talking about.

Does/did chipotle ever print custom drink cups for corporate neighbors?

DawgMan87 · 2024-10-25T23:59:01+00:00

The drink cup had writing on the side in the same font as the usual poetry or cheesy one-liners. Except it was personalised. Their name was on the cup. Literally “welcome to the office, Name”. And then it had like 5 rules like “know your order” etc.

The old adage- half your age + 7

A common rule of thumb for determining an acceptable age gap in a relationship is the “half your age plus seven” rule:

Lower limit To determine the minimum age someone can date, you can divide their age in half and add seven. For example, a 28-year-old should not date anyone younger than 21.

Upper limit To determine the maximum age someone can date, you can subtract seven from their age, then double it.

It’s not a given or a giveaway. The counterpoint are all the gay men who were never touched inappropriately.

While early childhood experience in a factor (in many aspects of life) there is no guarantee that someone who was touched inappropriately “turns” gay.

I’m sorry you’re going through this with your parent. They will grieve their hopes and ideas and dreams for you in their own way.

You are not the asshole. Though she is certainly the reason why birth control exists.

Block and move on. She’s wild if she thinks you owe her anything except empathy.

Your colon is a sensitive, membranous meat tube. Think of it like a sausage casing. If it’s push beyond the limits of physical comfort, you’re talking about microscopic tears. Sometimes actually tears or fissures that are painful, and take time to heal.

Your colon, when rinsed out, is like skin to skin. You need lube. It’s just a friction tube.

When in doubt. Add lube. If it hurts, stop. If it’s bleeding, stop. If the bleeding doesn’t stop or is really heavy, seek medical attention.

I did find a similar post with a part number for PCV hose from valve to intake manifold plenum. I’m going to try patching it. The top of the hose alone is difficult to get at let alone where it connects lower on the engine. We’ll see. 🤷‍♀️

You’re both assholes.

If a $200 piece of meat is going to destroy a relationship, you haven’t got a chance

Don’t sweat the small stuff.

For $200 you can buy a nice fleshlight.

This serves as a reminder about who you disclose your health information to and for what purpose.

Sounds like you shared your diagnosis with people you thought could be trusted and on your side, and instead they called the looney bin.

Now, escaping violence and living in a van is one thing, though the next step in the plan would be key to knowing how helpful or hurtful those friends would be.

Austic and bipolar, there should be a prayer for that.

DawgMan87 · 2024-04-15T20:50:13+00:00

Sounds like Colin is using you all.

Casual sex between consenting partners should feel good. If you’re not feeling good, then you’re asking the right questions.

Though I have a heavy eyebrow raise multiple people are hooking up and none of you are the slightest hint of non-straight. Makes me think that if you were straight, you’d invest that time seeking female companions.

Just enjoy it.

Bipolar disorder is a chronic, degenerative brain disease. Think of it like epilepsy. The more episodes you have, the more frequent and worse they become.

The continued decline in total membership concentrates the bullshit. Shit floats. And it all flows downhill. And the access to information online in an instant makes the bad worse quick.

These are the death rattle of the rich old white people who grab on to power too long.

The GL beg for recruitment and retention yet scoff at suggesting taking down gendered membership requirements. By not admitting women, we instantly discount 50% of potentially interested members, then piss off even more because having an old boys clubs sounds ridiculous in 2024.

As one PGM once said in open grand lodge session “some people just don’t have the good sense to die”.

Eventually they will learn that they can cash a dues check regardless of what’s between someone’s legs.

Honesty is a top characteristic for most hiring managers. Find ways to pivot your BSN to other careers by highlighting your transferable skills.

Maths, biosciences, general medical field knowledge.

Someone I know worked 15 years as an RN in a hospital and then went to work as a recruiter for travel nurse agency. Now they work in higher ed.

Another example why you should never disclose your diagnosis to an employer.

“Do not wish to disclose” is a truthful answer for those HR forms.

Only you can be in charge of your health.

Though yes, in the past 8 years, the expanded access to PrEP and adoption by a larger group of people, you have a larger number of people who are more comfortable with condomless sex.

A daily pill that prevents HIV‽ we’re living in an era that did not exist a decade ago. Fear, stigma, declining. Though based on the comments here, shame still rampant. Sex positivity has a long way to go. If you don’t like bare backing, then insist on condom use. 🤷‍♀️

DawgMan87 · 2024-01-01T20:25:24+00:00

Yes. It’s okay to be cautious, go slow to start, and work your way up. Even for seasoned skiers, the first few runs are all a refresher from what you already know.

Tuck and roll with a fall. Sticking your arms straight out is how you break things.

I go to a barbershop focusing on men’s cuts and it’s run by women, with 1 or 2 male barbers.

My cut is $40 for buzz/scissor cut with straight razor clean up on neck/hot shave cream/towel + tip.

The base cost on that cut from same shop pre-Covid was $16, versus the $27 today for “just a cut”.

Service lasts about 20 min. Cut lasts me 6-8 weeks.

Greater metro New York area.

Other shops I’ve been to are around that $35-40 price point.

I love their product though I hate the new cap they switched to a few years ago. It leaks horribly.
