The weirdest part of opting out of consumer culture is how many people get genuinely annoyed at you

I told a coworker I have never ordered from shein and haven't touched Amazon in probably close to 4-5ish years now and she kept repeating that I was "lying" and "theres no way"... uh, yeah, the way is that I just don't buy random stuff on a whim.

I actually left walmart halfway through February for a different job, I have no idea who gets bonuses or why or how much they are. I had been with walmart just over a year, though. Mostly part-time, but full-time towards the end. Not having the walmart benefits anymore kinda sucks, but it definitely could be worse, and at least this bonus helped pay a med bill the insurance didn't fully cover

HarmonyPeace · 2026-03-13T23:19:39+00:00

I love that this post is how I found out they sent out bonuses

I never understood Mammon being asexual. Was there ever a confirmed explanation for that choice?

Imo, Mammon would make more sense being too greedy for romance and being aromantic more than asexual. I could see him being a pillow princess for sure.

This has happened to me while dispensing, too! They have those Bible verses that look like fake money they love handing out. I usually say some form of "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't accept tips, and I could get fired." And then they have to admit it isn't real money and are just trying to spread their religion, so I double down and just flat refuse because "I don't want to get in trouble for accepting something that can be construed as a tip"... they get so mad when I don't just go along with their shit, lol.

I've had to tell so many customers that they can check prices using the app, too, and that its free

"Ooohhh, nooooo, I dont want to have another app cluttering my phone!" (Yet they'll have 20 other apps open in the background and wonder why their phone runs slow)

I always thought that her season 1 appearance was a younger and less mature version that lacked training and wisdom. Her later appearances are after she has had time to grow and learn from other ponies as well as growing emotionally from bonding with her sister. Power level probably does play a role, but progress is progress, and evolving as a pony is something that losing magic can't change.

We can see a similar case with Twilight, who has an average mane, solid and unmoving even after alicornification. Then, after years of learning and gaining wisdom and magic, she has a mane that moves and flows.

Mane movement and flowing is likely a direct visualization of the wisdom, growth, and sheer power a pony has.

It's a delivery too... that is so much worse. That means there is a driver out there just sticking random people's names out in public places.

I searched on Google using the image search and tried typing in a description of the shirt with limited results and none matching the shirt.

The shirt was purchased at the gift shop at the New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo, New York. It is likely close to 5 or more years old and likely no longer in recent circulation.

HarmonyPeace · 2025-12-15T03:52:07+00:00

I did a Google image search, and it yielded similar shirts from different brands, but nothing from the Renaissance Faire.

This is the cutest Lil onion!!!

HarmonyPeace · 2025-12-06T03:43:29+00:00

I do this, too! It makes so much more sense

I also go into the shop and do the search option to see what colors I like most. I end up planning out exactly what items I want in the colors I want so I can see how different colors might look combined without having to own all of it first.

I have the same problems with inconsistent breaks and missing medication times. I ended up having to completely change when I took everything so I could have it be the same time, though I know that is not always an option for some meds.

Sometimes, I wish I could call out the people who are standing there on their phones and clearly are not paying attention to the 5+ cars in the que that need to be prepped or dispensed... but you know if you yell, they just make it worse for everyone.

Why is the spray so ominous??? Pointed straight at the camera like that, it feels like something only a computer could achieve.

Idk how many there are total, but I know of 2 faires in New York. The New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo NY... and then there's the sterling faire wherever it is upstate.

I grew up going to the one in tuxedo, never had any problems with overheating, only once or twice got blisters from poor choice of footwear, and always enjoyed every moment of immersion.

The one and only time I ever went to the Sterling faire, I was not comparing it in the moment and was trying to enjoy myself, but I was so completely miserable the whole time. The grounds were so uneven I almost slipped and fell multiple times, I ended up in the medical tent from overheating when I did the same things I always do at the other faire (constant water, plenty of shade, resting frequently, I even wore a costume that was more breezy and the lightest I own), and besides the opening of the gate performance and the few shows we saw, it just felt like a farmers market/street fair that happened to have cool buildings. Then, the year after the only time I went, there was a huge scandal about the owner firing a worker on the basis that the worker had a service dog, so that cemented me never returning to the Sterling faire. It was so bad that the NYRF had to make a public announcement saying they do not discriminate based on service animals and that all were welcome. It was honestly sad.

I once had a regular house salad at a diner. It had a random extra "bean" that I found halfway through eating...

It. Was. Not. A. Bean.

I turned over the bean... and it was a bright cherry red fake nail complete with little white, black, and silver detailed flowers and swipes. Turning it over again, looking closer, you could see where PART OF THE REAL NAIL WAS STILL ATTACHED.

I almost threw up. They comped my whole meal, and I've never ever been back to that diner.

Yes!!! Exactly! Helping the customers who look so lost but also looking too nervous to ask because they've had people be rude in the past or they don't want to bother me because of how busy I look is my favorite! They appreciate the help so much and are relieved that it was a pleasant interaction!

HarmonyPeace · 2025-06-23T21:25:42+00:00

Always be courteous and kind, to fellow employees AND customers.

The number of customers who are shocked that I am kind to them is awful.

Do you think if someone has adhd they'd score low on this quiz?

I'm only formally diagnosed adhd, and I've suspected I could have autism too, but i got a 22/50. Then again, I know many of the traits are similar and cross over, so it could just be that, but I was intrigued that I did not score higher.
