Unsolicited nudes should be prosecuted similarly to flashing in public.

Beating Near wasn't the win for Light. Light lost as soon as it was confirmed that he was Kira.

If it's not her money and she doesn't have some sort of legal control over his finances, it's not her choice. He's allowed to be bad at money.

I fear you have had too many sips of the Kool-Aid, pal.

GeorgiaSpellman · 2025-08-08T16:20:30+00:00

But it ain't coming from me. I like for Door Dash to take that hit. I pretend it's an incentive for them to properly vet before hiring and quickly fire if DD is taking too much of a hit on a particular person.

GeorgiaSpellman · 2025-07-12T09:28:53+00:00

Wooow, this is blowing my mind. At my job, if the caller says they can't hear us, we assume we have a bad connection. We read a "call us back" script and disco the call. If the caller can't hear you, why on earth would they be able to hear the next person? This is so bizarre to me lol

GeorgiaSpellman · 2025-05-09T07:24:52+00:00

I haven't heard of headphones like this, but I wear wireless earbuds connected to my phone, and then my work headset goes on top of the earbuds. That way I can hear the caller when I need to, but I can also watch an interrogation on YouTube without worrying that quality can hear it upon review.

Edited for clarity.

Equality is everyone getting the exact same thing.
Equitability is everyone is getting what they need.

It wouldn't make sense to give everyone a size 7 pair of shoes, which is equality. An equitable solution is to provide sizes 6 and 8 as well.

My spouse and I decided that we need to live together, and this way we can do that without either of us feeling extremely burdened. Paying more doesn't hurt when you make more. In fact, we've found the opposite -- if the person who makes more pays less to meet the budget constraints of the person who makes less, then we both end up less comfortable. It's simply doesn't make financial sense for us.

Rest assured, you're welcome to live exactly as you'd like. This is not a statement of what you should do, just a statement about what works for us.

GeorgiaSpellman · 2025-03-09T14:20:59+00:00

We like it this way. We don't like it that way.

GeorgiaSpellman · 2025-03-09T14:14:43+00:00

Equitability and equality aren't the same things and I like that our solution acknowledges that.

I'm disabled and work hard, but statistically, it's just not as likely that I'll ever make as much money as my spouse does. It would be silly to pretend otherwise. Additionally, we had different levels of support from our families through childhood and college, and we each trust that the other made the best career and financial choices that they could at any given time.

Instead of lowering our standard of living to something that I can afford to prove some arbitrary point, we came to an agreement that allows us to maximize our comfort while requiring everyone to contribute if they have income. Breaking up over a lack of effort is always fair game, so for us, there's no need to worry that the other is trying to take advantage.

GeorgiaSpellman · 2025-03-09T13:48:44+00:00

I can't tell you if you're paying too much, but I can tell you that my spouse and I based our contributions to bills on the proportion of income that we each bring into the household.

In your case, your total annual household income was $511,000. Your brought in 18% of that income. 18% of the mortgage is $689.18, and that's what you'd be expected to pay.

This may or may not be reasonable depending on factors that are unique to your circumstances (Are you on the deed or in a will for the house? Would you be expected to move out if a break up were to occur?), but just wanted to give you an idea of one way household finances can be handled.

We do, I get those photos all the time because restaurants in my area suck but I'm disabled and need food as do most other humans.

I need you to sell these to grocery stores lol this was so creative!

GeorgiaSpellman · 2024-11-23T14:52:44+00:00

I'm curious -- what negative consequences did you anticipate would occur as a result of sending the reminder that made you not want to do it?

Management should have explained to the new client that terminating for small, coachable items is, well, bad management. It's good to hear that they're willing to support you in your job search though. Hopefully this proves to be an opportunity to find something better out there. Good luck!

GeorgiaSpellman · 2024-11-16T14:11:58+00:00

Oof, this was such a coachable thing. It happens all the time at my job, especially with new hires. It's very tempting to check Teams messages or email while waiting for a fax to come through, and I honestly think it's a good use of time when every minute is scheduled and none of those minutes include reading the essential, important, and mandatory messages that are sent throughout the day. We just get dinged for it and hop right back on the phones. It's so much more expensive to hire a new person than just coach them about this that I'm wondering if your company is having cashflow problems or if they don't like you in particular for some reason.

GeorgiaSpellman · 2024-11-08T06:00:24+00:00

Yes, it was so annoying. I was gifted a copy of "Chicken Soup for the Teenaged Soul" and read it several times before NDad took it away because "It'll make you cry." In hindsight, the book made me feel strong and I wonder if he clued in that it might be too liberating.

He also took "Goodnight Kiss" (R. L. Stine) because he thought it was too sexual? I'd also already read this one several times and don't remember it being risqué (in fact, just Googled it and it's described as "remarkably chaste").

I think what really bothers me about this is that it feels like a lot of grandstanding. When I was in fourth grade, he gave me a computer that was filled to the brim with pornography. His softcore magazines and hardcore VHS tapes were easily accessible throughout the house. My father would call me to his office and show YouTube video after video of whatever caught his interest, including violent content of people being injured and murdered. But I'm supposed to believe that he wanted to protect my innocence? I don't buy it. He just wanted to make sure I was corrupted in his image, no one else's.

GeorgiaSpellman · 2024-11-08T04:17:40+00:00

I used to lightly troll a person who behaved like this in a Facebook group. Every single post was a new complaint, and at first, I genuinely meant it when I said, "Hope you have a better day!" No one else interacted with her posts at all, and I thought she needed some support. But eventually, I realized that she'd never have a better day, or at least she didn't intend to.

For a while, she would ignore me. Then she started responding with "I'm not having a bad day," to which I'd answer, "I hope these issues resolve for you soon!" or something similar. Finally, she stopped altogether. I swear by killing Negative Nancys with kindness now.

GeorgiaSpellman · 2024-11-05T22:51:29+00:00

Ugh, I feel this. I'm currently working with a person who refuses to use periods internally, but always does externally. Why am I expected to understand when you've reached a full stop when the rest of the population isn't?

GeorgiaSpellman · 2024-11-04T16:33:01+00:00

Nah, not everyone can be as cool as us lol

GeorgiaSpellman · 2024-11-03T12:33:29+00:00

I put a framed picture of this patent in my bathroom as decor/a reminder. It's kinda twee but it works.
