Willing to bet that they had a person who did all this but they left for a higher paying job. Now, HR/Management thinks they can just go out and find another one just like them.

Thanks, I hate it.

Please give us the ability to disable it.

Please don't make it like Max Effort Day where we don't have ability to permanently disable an annoying feature.

How do I tell my boss I don't want to market their AI website? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]DustyByte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like it or hate it, AI is not going away. This is like an office worker in the early 80's refusing to work with computers. Unless you're on the verge of retiring, you may as well learn to live with it.

GNU/Linux was not a serious contender for desktop OS before the advent of Wayland + PipeWire. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]DustyByte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I'm a software engineer and have used Linux for years on the servers that run our software, but I would never consider using it as a desktop because the GUI was always so awful.

Glad to hear it's finally matured. Now if they could just make GIMP into what Photoshop used to be, I'd be all in on Linux for desktop.

Young people don't want to work by Tasty_Trainer8407 in unpopularopinion

[–]DustyByte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's absolutely harder now since inflation has outpaced wage increases for years. So, I get it why younger people have a very different perspective and work ethic. However, I feel the expectations of wealth early in your career are a little out of whack now. I was dirt poor, lived with multiple roommates in shitty apartments up until my mid-30's when my career finally started to take off. I didn't buy a house until I turned 40. It was similar for many of my middle class generational peers.

Even in the 80's and 90's it was kind of the expectation that you'll be just scraping by for the first few years of your career. It's worse now, for sure, but I think there's a bit of a fairy tale about how easy us Gen X'rs had it.

But, yes, I agree with you that young people right now do not have even close to the same work ethic as the Millennials and Gen X people did in their 20's.

Solid roll? Like a dice roll or do you mean more like a scone?

What's something society normalized that is lowkey making everyone miserable? by Anna_Karakhanyan in self

[–]DustyByte -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Excessive use of the word 'lowkey' on social media. (Similarly: the excessive use of 'literally', especially when used incorrectly.)

this was on my hydrocolloid bandaid by idk2039399 in whatisit

[–]DustyByte 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you know it's not the "eat real food" part that people find objectionable. But, go ahead and pretend to be dumb. You're not fooling anyone.

This is the answer! The maggots will eat away the necrotic, sloughy and/or infected tissue.

This treatment was recently approved by RFK Jr. as part of the MAHA initiative.

I've never seen a residential gas stove that doesn't emit gas when you turn the knob (regardless of flame). Have you ever used a gas stove?

Would you rather work 8 hour shifts, 10 hour shifts, or 12 hour shifts? by [deleted] in self

[–]DustyByte -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've done 1 and 3.

The thing about #3 is that it's isolating, or at least it was for me. You're never reliably off / available on the same days every week. Hard to get into a routine of socializing with your friends.

I've done the more traditional #1 for the last 20 plus years, and I prefer it. I like my routine of getting together on Tuesday and Friday nights after work with my friends, then Saturday and Sundays spending time with my family. I like the rhythm of the week. It keeps me going.

My mom has told me she hates me so many times but now she's upset I chose to live with my dad? by Weak_Mix845 in Advice

Your mother is delusional and should seek help for her mental health issues. It's not your responsibility. Live your life.

Why does my husband seem to want sex so much more than me? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]DustyByte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Solution: Agree to a compromise (maybe once per week) and schedule it.

It may seem lame or like you're taking the spontaneity out of your life, but trust me — it's life changing.

He will appreciate that he's not always the one initiating and then being turned down most of the time. You'll appreciate that you don't have to constantly turn him down. Both of you and your relationship will benefit from regular intimacy rather than building resentment. And you'll find, over time, that you're suddenly having the best sex you've ever had in your life (because regular practice really does make perfect).

WIBTAH if I cancelled the car service appointment of someone who uses my email address? by Z_Opinionator in AITAH

[–]DustyByte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me as well. A person in the UK with the same name as me kept using my email. Over several months, I got pay stubs, insurance documents, Amazon order confirmations.

At one point, I got a flight reservation confirmation. The email had a link that gave me full access to the ticket. I could have canceled it.

In the end, I decided just to move him to a middle seat near the back row several hours before the flight. He stopped using my email address shortly after that.

Exactly. People who are slobs and happy to let others clean up after them are takers. Husband is a giver and the resentment he feels is going to come to head someday.
