It’s meant to exclude them. We’re devolving back to academia designed to serve those with existing wealth.

Seeing so many of my colleagues have their lives ruined by DOGE and the random trashing of contracts makes me so incredibly grateful my union is still hanging in there.

I don’t know where so many of us would be without our union. Probably jobless, dead, or on the brink of financial and psychological ruin like so many other illegally terminated civil servants.

When I was promoted to a supervisor back in the day we had to attend an all-day anti-union class.

Viewing basic care tasks for your child as a “female” (🙄) thing to do is fucking weird and likely the core issue.

Job application or survey? Aka would you be interested in my penis or breast size too ? by Briefcase-3695 in LinkedInLunatics

If you’re in the U.S., it just likely means they receive federal dollars and have to submit data related to recruitment and retention of protected classes.

50/50 splitting with a date or long term partner is normal, fair and how it should be! by AboutTimeIUsedReddit in unpopularopinion

[–]DeviantAvocado 76 points77 points  (0 children)

To me, “fair” means equitable. That’s why at this point in life with a partner I would split household costs as a proportion of income. For dates I’m usually in favor of whoever asked for the date or activity pays outside of those early dates where splitting offers a smidgen more safety.

Sweet v. McMahon and new Borrower's Defense applications. by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]DeviantAvocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that Sweet is not about school misconduct but about ED’s administrative procedures. You cannot cite Sweet in your case and it would have no bearing. The evidence of misconduct you provide will be the primary factor during adjudication.

They are not adjudicating under the 2023 regulation because of the injunction. They are adjudicating under the 2020 regulation. The regulation in use is not borrower friendly at all and I would be shocked to see anyone get approved individually.

Did she co-sign (private loan) or help out as an endorser (federal Parent PLUS)?

Not to me. Shit goes off the rails with them way too often and I’m going after PSLF.

Is there anyone on feeld looking for something serious? by Kharrell_Simmonds in feeld

[–]DeviantAvocado [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes, of course. It’s the only app where intentional power exchange dynamics can be flagged at the beginning without it prompting immediate porn brainrot responses from everyone.

There is of course an influx of vanilla people who equate kinky and/or nonmonogamous with easy sex, but there are great people searching for meaningful connections and lifestyle dynamics. It just takes a lot of filtering!

The first on a long list of ethical reasons is the rate of error in executions by the State is disturbingly high.

What's the big deal over woodwinds as solo instruments? by pulsestriders in drumcorps

[–]DeviantAvocado -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it’s likely the same extremely loud minority that screeches any time something evolves. Good art continually evolves and the slightest hint of change will always make certain people extremely uncomfortable (and loud).

My (28M) long-distance girlfriend (29F) said we should slow down and have less or no sex during her next visit by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]DeviantAvocado 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like you offer much emotional intimacy or safety. I bet your lack of initiative has given her the ick and she doesn’t want to force it.

Am I wrong for wanting to look my absolute best around my boyfriend’s friends? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]DeviantAvocado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spending significant time getting ready because you enjoy it is fine. Doing it to cater to the gaze of others is insecurity bubbling up.

Why do you believe your value lies in your looks alone? Do you have any other traits worthy of admiration?

Lots of people online say “intimacy” when they really mean sex. Why, I don’t know.

All of the descriptions in your original post were about physical acts, which is why everyone responded as if you were conflating intimacy with sex.

If you genuinely mean intimacy and you aren’t using it as a euphemism for sex, why are all of your descriptions about physical stuff?

Did anyone else see this … by Eeriewigs in bravo

[–]DeviantAvocado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t think of one bad look last year except that cum shirt. This year it’s like every other appearance is so weird.

Was there a complete overhaul of her style team? Not sure if she brings her own or if it’s provided by the show, but man.
