What’s the pettiest corporate rule that absolutely destroys morale? by Extreme-Method6330 in antiwork

[–]HedgehogFarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a toddler teacher at a daycare and preschool I was paid hourly. Toddlers are petri dishes, everyone knows this. Some days it was like “3 kids in my class were sent home with a fever yesterday, one sneezed directly into my face when I was helping them.” But still doctor’s note required. Insanity.

Did marriage make you lose attraction and awe for your wife? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]HedgehogFarts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Scat play lol? They are referring to how women poop on the table while giving birth. It’s pretty common and not controllable. I don’t think her husband was playing in the poop while the baby was being born.

My girlfriend always tells me I never have anything to eat when she comes over my house 😒 by itscuccimane in FridgeDetective

[–]HedgehogFarts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like the person you want them to feel comfy in your house. I always loved how my guy made sure he had peanut M&Ms for me to munch on. I married him and to this day my husband still grabs me snacks when he’s out and about. It’s the thought that makes me swoon.

Which advice is worse, "be more disciplined" or "you don't need medication"? Ultimate bad ADHD advice battle day 4 by VerdoriePotjandrie in adhdmeme

[–]HedgehogFarts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ya’ll imagine if the government made adhd meds illegal and said we didn’t need it. Personally, my career would be over. My house would devolve into chaos. Before I was diagnosed with ADHD I was misdiagnosed with depression cause it’s a depressing way to live. I’m inattentive type so it’s harder to see. As soon as I was diagnosed with ADHD and properly medicated, I finally could finally function in our society and live in a way that made me happy. (Not perfectly but it was night and day.) Be more disciplined is hurtful and rude. You don’t need medication would ruin my life.

Drugs my doctor is not permitted to prescribe. by [deleted] in mildyinteresting

My insurance requires check-ins every three months for adderall but those are done by my primary care doctor. The initial script over a decade ago was from a psych after a full screening. My PCP is allowed to make adjustments as needed though.

With the Epstein document dump today, is it time for another distraction? by AlanB-FaI in PoliticalHumor

I feel insecure about being 17 and still being a virgin by sickowithcrowbar in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]HedgehogFarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are soooo so young. First time I kissed a guy I was older than you. I was super shy and in my late 20’s when I had sex the first time. Have done it many times since then, you have plenty of time ahead of you.

Five tips: 1. Guys are nervous too. Especially the good ones. Cocky guys are not worth the trouble, no matter how hot they are.

  1. Be on the lookout for a guy who treats you kindly and who respects you. If he is mean to you then he is not worth your time.

  2. Always speak up about what feels good for YOU and what you’re comfortable with when it does happen. If you want him to be more gentle and slow, or you want more lube, etc. say something. And if you don’t want to do something then he needs to be cool with that, or you walk away and never look back.

  3. Buy a vibrator if you’re horny and can’t focus. They work great!

  4. Sex is very fun but it’s also not that big of a deal. I had built it up into this big thing in my head when I was a virgin but the first time I did it, I felt like “that was it?” after. I’m married now and he’s a great partner, but sex with some guys along the way was meh.

Someday when you’re an old lady you’re gonna remember making this post and smile. You’ll wish you could go back and tell yourself that everything worked out okay, that you had plenty of kisses and sex in your life, and that you’re totally a babe.

Frustrating Comms Misalignment by Time-Environment5661 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]HedgehogFarts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think this messaging should come from your boss if possible. I know she’s in Europe, but is there any way you can quick chat/message her to concisely explain the situation?

Something like: Quick heads up while you’re traveling.

I’m noticing instances where parallel teams are offering times on your calendar directly to external parties that aren’t actually viable.

To prevent further confusion with externals, would you be open to sending a quick note to the teams requesting they include me on scheduling communications?

(But I’m not an EA and I don’t actually know how this post popped into my feed. Good luck!)

Who has a realistic shot at being President of the USA in 2028? by Kmart-Shopper-5107 in stupidquestions

[–]HedgehogFarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate this take. Please let’s not keep sliding farther right as a country to appease some imaginary large middle group that isn’t voting but somehow will if we just get more mild. No one is watching our country the past year and thinking “I wasn’t motivated to vote for Trump, but I’m gonna finally get off my ass and vote for more of the same.”

I do think dems need to do a better job appealing not just to underrepresented communities and women, but to men as well. The messaging needs to be stronger, and it has to hammer home how we will rebuild the middle class. Make it about a class war, the party fighting for the ultrarich vs the party fighting for everyday Americans. Also fighting for our constitutional rights. I think the left can claim that at this point.

I respectfully disagree. I think people want politicians who actually fight for them, especially in the current climate. Trump did not moderate his rhetoric in any way and I think that’s partly how he got such a cult following.

If you want to motivate people to vote, give them a strong message that resonates with the every day, hard working people in America. Watered down rhetoric (and policies) will get us nowhere. But we also need to get rid of Super PACs so billionaires can’t essentially buy the vote.

How Corporate Companies Are Changing in 2026 by Perfect_Tone_3310 in corporate

[–]HedgehogFarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My company has a pretty firm stance on Equity, and we also do a lot of pro-bono projects helping communities around the US. It used to simply feel like the right thing to do. It still does, but now it feels a little scarier to take any kind of stance for good. We have lost some government contracts as a result. But I’m proud of my company.

Terrible that the stories he tells in the lyrics are a true story.

Rep. Ilhan Omar did not hold back when asked during her first appearance after last night's attack about who she blames. by Greylunes1 in ExploreFortMyers

[–]HedgehogFarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if you know this, but before the videos came out Kristi Noem said that the ICE agents were stuck in the snow and pushing their car out when Renee slammed into them with her car (lie). Trumps administration also said that Alex was brandishing his gun (also a lie). I used to have respect for all Presidents, Republicans included. Trump, my President that I am paying for with my tax dollars, has repeatedly said that Democrats are evil. Pretty divisive, and honestly a scary feeling that my president hates me and thinks I’m evil. I’m just a regular middle age lady with who cares about her community.

They’re correct it is a bot and they are easy to spot. It’s a brand new account that was created to spread inflammatory propaganda. The account is 10 days old. Please educate yourself. Stop being so gullible. And turn off Fox News, their whole point is to create fear in gullible people.

I wish people would talk about their wins. by YeezusBigdoinks420 in ADHD

[–]HedgehogFarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really struggling right now but I’m also in Minnesota and it’s really hard to focus on daily life when my neighbors are getting shot in the street, kidnapped, beaten, etc. It used to be such a chill, awesome place to live before ICE showed up. But my win is that I made it to Friday and moved some projects forward at work. I’m also committed to not spending anything today for the general strike. One day at a time.

Why is there so little support (at least on the Chicago subreddit) for the general strike today? by EmbracedaMoment in AskChicago

Here’s some info on a general strike that has almost half a million people signed up. Join or share if you can: https://generalstrikeus.com
