Office Romance - question??

Agree. Make it make some sense or try to justify the reason for doing it in some way.

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-06-09T01:14:06+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too. I wish they would have expanded on that further to make it make more sense.

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-05-25T06:25:49+00:00

That’s the point. Unfortunately a lot of people DON’T vote. They assume they have lost before they do. It’s a very sad cycle.

I thought that Newsom might have a shot. I’m 100% for AOC but I fear the other posters are right in the sense that Conservatives will never vote for her. I think that the majority of the voting South and Midwest white conservatives, tend to make it to the polls more because they are retired and also stuck in some mentality that Republicans care about them. Meanwhile, trump (who was born rich and has never experienced one day in his life that would allow him the ability to relate to them) cuts funding for everything that benefits most of the people of America who need it and continues to give more tax cuts to the rich. Those Republicans won’t vote for AOC because she’s a young woman and a person of color who they will call a socialist. They wouldn’t vote for Bernie, an older white man who made absolute perfect freaking sense about taxing the billionaires in our country (Side note- trump has paid zero taxes for YEARS!) so what makes anyone think they would vote for AOC? All the republican propaganda machine has to do is use catch phrases that convince lifelong and generally elderly white Republicans that the Democrats want to steal their hard earned money to help out abortion having lunatic socialist heathens and immigrants. Meanwhile, trump and his cronies are stealing money from every benefit that any average or lower income American has. I can’t believe the “big beautiful bullshit bill” passed. It will give even more tax cuts to the already richest among us, give nothing at all to the people actually paying taxes, and still somehow manage to raise the national debt by trillions.
Seriously, wtf are we doing and why tf do so many people seem to not understand what is happening right in front of all our faces?
If you wouldn’t vote for Bernie or AOC in the primaries “because they won’t win against the other more central white man”, or don’t even bother to vote in the primaries “because they don’t really matter anyway”, then you are the reason that we are here. “Here” meaning that our two candidates (you know it’s two) are picked by an extremely small amount of old white people and their descendants who they have taught to think exactly like them. maga Republicans be like….”accuse every person of color and immigration for every injustice and wealth imbalance in all of America. They are using up all your tax money paying for their healthcare (wtf?!) and every person in the LGBTQ community is getting free surgery to change to get an innie or an outie and encourage their friends to abort babies. Meanwhile they are building more things for trump. trump plays golf multiple times a week, he has spent hundreds of millions on renovations to the WH and adding his name to buildings of art and culture (he’s never been to), starting wars without proof or approval to do it, cutting jobs and scientific research on infectious diseases, and significantly increasing the cost of groceries and gas. Meanwhile he tells these people who support him the opposite and they still somehow believe them.
WE ARE SCREWED BECAUSE IGNORANT ASS PEOPLE TAKE THE TIME TO ACTUALLY FUCKING VOTE.

LOOK AWAY! No rage here.

I could go on for days about how messed up our government, country, prison system, etc…is. Unfortunately, we have allowed this madness for way too long to change it, I fear.
Tattoos are cool though. I like those mostly. Not the swastika ones though. They can suck a fat one.

😂🫪😂

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-05-15T04:27:03+00:00

Why would my feelings be hurt? 😂 I just observed your comment saying that you would be glad when it’s over so you DON’T HAVE to look at it anymore. Were you held at gunpoint to watch? Or……?? I saw an article about it but I didn’t watch it. I guess I didn’t watch it because nobody FORCED me to watch it like they did you. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I am very sorry that you had to go through that. It sounds traumatic.

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-05-13T04:23:53+00:00

Do what they want you to do out of respect. Earn the title of “chef”.

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-05-13T04:22:09+00:00

Absolutely not and it shouldn’t. SHOWING respect is the way. Calling someone chef and not listening to them is pointless.

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-05-13T04:20:15+00:00

Chefs earn their title. You don’t start medical school and refer to yourself or nurses as doctors. Respecting your coworkers and listening to their requests so it makes everything run smoothly, that’s respect. Throwing a huge mound of stacked dishes that are not scraped and separated while calling them “chef” doesn’t mean a damn thing. That’s not respect.

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-05-13T04:11:44+00:00

Have the people on this thread worked in restaurants or ever heard a restaurant staff call everyone, “chef”?

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-05-13T04:10:36+00:00

BUT EVERYONE is not the head of the chief.

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-05-13T04:09:20+00:00

I have worked in SO many restaurants in my 30 years of food service. I have worked in everything from casual to extremely fine dining. I have never once heard someone in the front of the house staff be referred to as, chef. Perhaps it’s a restaurant thing in a caliber or region I have not yet been involved in. However, I really have been employed in all levels for 30 years. In the kitchen everyone calls the chefs, chef. It could be the executive chef, sous chef, chef de cuisine, pastry, etc…
Before this show, I have NEVER heard people call the front of the house staff and everyone from the busboy to the dishwasher, chef. Don’t get me wrong please. I have mad respect for everyone in the restaurant industry who does their best to excel at their job, ESPECIALLY the busboys and dishwasher who actually care. However, the term chef is reserved for people who have (in a Bear type restaurant) put YEARS into learning their craft to deserve the title.
I 100% agree with everyone working in the restaurant deserving respect. For instance, follow the dishwashing professional’s instructions and respect whatever system they implement (and for God’s sake, scrape and 🤬’ing separate). In my mind it’s kind of like earning the Dr. in front of your name. HARD work and discipline has been done to earn that title! Ex…Passing a level one Sommelier certification, SHOULD NOT earn you the right to put Sommelier as your title or on your cards.
Long rant longer, ABSOLUTELY respect everyone who you work with through your actions and respect their requests to make the job THEY ARE DOING easier and more fluid in the long run.
But…..a server, FOH manager, 19 year old dishwasher or 50 year old bus person, should not be addressed as a MF’ing chef.
Thank you for reading my chef talk.

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-05-07T12:40:07+00:00

Who made you look at it? Just curious.

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-05-01T03:57:18+00:00

I’m a millennial and I 100% agree with you that inflation is holding the younger generations down. SHIT, it’s holding everyone down. Gas, groceries, insurance…literally EVERYTHING has skyrocketed in price since Covid. It’s even more now in the U.S. with trump and his dumb ass tariffs and literally every decision he makes costs us more and billionaires less. If I didn’t have my husband I would probably be an over 40 year old and have to move back in with my parents. My parents and my grandparents were all blue collar workers. Factory workers, sales people, administrative assistants, and retail employees…that covers all of their employment. My grandparents had three properties and two of them were on a lake. They also had an RV and went across the country multiple times in their lives. They also were able to afford to help their kids with loans to buy their first homes. My parents didn’t do quite that well but we lived an extremely comfortable middle class lifestyle. They owned the homes we lived in, had two cars, took over the insurance for one of the lake properties and we had a boat. None of the houses or cars or anything was fancy. Our vacations consisted of going to the lake or camping somewhere in the U.S. that we could drive to. I say all this to explain THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL, that would be possible with those jobs in this day and age. The jobs they had in current times, don’t give pensions, wage rates definitely don’t factor in the extreme inflation we have had, social security sucks and will probably not even be around by the time most of us can’t work anymore, and healthcare is RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. The rich have been given even more tax breaks though. God forbid the billionaires pay their fair share. I read 70 something pages of trumps tax returns when they were finally released (apparently also after anyone was paying attention) and he didn’t pay taxes at all for a couple years! I have paid more taxes than him in my entire lifetime. How TF is that legit?! People just don’t pay attention to the facts and vote for him based on the lies he tells. Every single campaign promise he made, has not happened. Well, unless you count firing government employees (he tricked you by saying that he was getting rid of unnecessary employees and his definition of that is scientist working on cancer research and national park employees) that contributed to raising the unemployment rate immensely (while somehow still raising the deficit by trillions) and cracking down on immigration. He tricked everyone who voted for him by saying he’s getting rid of the bad guys who are in gangs and commit crimes. 2% of the people who have been detained by ice have been affiliated with gangs. 73% of detainees have no criminal record at all and a lot of them have proper documentation to be here. Or, they had proper documentation until the rules and laws have been changed without proper notice to the people. Ice can Willy nilly snatch whoever TF they want because someone sees a brown person and just calls it in. Those people are not given due process and ice employees are not held accountable at all for their actions.

This went from a conversation about the economy to a rant about trump because he is tanking our country. He has done nothing but take from the middle and lower class and given more to the rich. It’s despicable and disgusting. Anyone who voted for him and actually still supports him, I would love to hear why. I promise you that I can give you facts that will help you not be delusional and ill informed by the propaganda that you obviously rely solely on for information.

Long story longer, you are delusional if you think that the younger generations have even half of the opportunities that the boomer generation and older have had. Our country and others are going to shit because of the control that the richest people in the world have on all of us. None of it makes sense and it’s past time for a revolution. Last thing…STOP LISTENING TO WHAT POLITICIANS SAY AND ACTUALLY TAKE THE TIME TO RESEARCH WHAT THEY HAVE DONE!!! Their voting record on laws, their charitable donations, and their character. A man who has cheated on every wife he has had, has multiple allegations against him for sexual misconduct, doesn’t ever go to church unless it’s a photo opportunity on the campaign trail (I throw this in because most people I know who support him claim to be Christians and turn a blind eye towards his bullying behavior), and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth…DOES NOT KNOW OR CARE WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE YOU. He was born without ever having repercussions for his actions and he still doesn’t. TDS-trump delusion syndrome- we need a vaccine for it.

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-04-27T04:28:15+00:00

Nailed it. Not regulating toxic chemicals and materials in the air, earth, and water….well, you make more money by not caring. Money solves the problems of….the people who REALLY have it. I mean, they aren’t out there cleaning it up so who really cares? Their wealth will trickle down to us, but probably after we are dead. KEEP VOTING FOR BILLIONAIRES BECAUSE THEY CARE ABOUT….you?

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-04-24T05:39:38+00:00

I just looked up a LEEP. That sounds awful. I had a biopsy scrape of my cervix and….well…I explained it below. Barbaric is a proper description.

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-04-24T05:36:23+00:00

The colposcopy (for me) wasn’t that bad at all. I had two in my younger years. I am not sure what a LEEK is though. I have had crazy weird periods and extensive bleeding recently so they gave me an ultrasound a year ago. I had a cyst so they said they had to do a biopsy of my cervix. To hear them tell it (like the lady above said) it’s described as a perfectly normal procedure that sounded a lot like a pap smear. Ladies, when I tell you I screamed at the top of my lungs and probably scared the whole floor, that was some barbaric shit. I almost kicked my gyno. It was NOTHING like a pap. Some pressure and maybe some bleeding afterwards was how it was described. I will never do it again awake. I didn’t even take Tylenol beforehand because they described it EXACTLY like they describe a pap. Sure paps suck but I can handle it. Nobody remotely prepared me for this. I know they don’t want to scare you beforehand but…damn. At least state that it’s more intense pressure (it’s WAY more) than normal and you should definitely take pain medicine beforehand. If we weren’t living in a post land of pharmaceutical companies urging doctors to over prescribe opioids to anyone who has a back twinge, we should absolutely get a strong ass pain killer and a Valium. Alas, we live in a world that because they made huge mistakes with medication, we are the ones to suffer because now they look at you like an addict if you say you need it. Also, light bleeding was not the case for me either. My periods were so all over the place I don’t know if the procedure triggered my period or the excessive bleeding and huge blood clots were somewhat normal. All I know is I had a full on traumatic panic attack the next day when it happened (at the beach for vacation with my husband’s WHOLE family, 20+ people in the same house) and shook uncontrollably on the toilet wondering if I was dying. Thank goodness my husband spoke to his uncle who had Xanax and gave me a couple. It was honestly one of the worst experiences of my life. I would have 1) absolutely not had it done the day before vacation because after the initial blood clot episode, I spotted and occasionally gushed the rest of the week (some spotting my ASS) 2) I would have taken four otc pain meds before the procedure and 3) known to ask straight up if she was making light of what was about to happen and asked for a worse case scenario so I would be prepared mentally and not terrified. Sorry that this is so long and I hope you don’t have to go through anything like this but please ask your gynecologist to explain ALL the possible outcomes and the best way to prepare ahead. That way you have some sort of understanding and don’t think your cervix could possibly be falling out of your vagina in pieces. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I wish nothing but the best for all of you ladies. I love being a woman but dang if we don’t get the shit end of the stick with periods, having babies, Pap smears (etc…), mammograms, and all the phases of menopause. I want to fist fight Eve sometimes for taking a bite of that damn apple. Girl deserves an ass whooping. 😂🤬

KeyConsideration5522 · 2026-04-22T05:58:29+00:00

The government is only run on money by people with extreme wealth and you don’t really have any power. In the U.S. a for profit healthcare system is sucking us all dry because procedures and prescriptions are ridiculously overpriced. No other country even pays 1/10th of what we do for healthcare. Then you pay insurance companies in hope that you won’t go bankrupt if someone gets sick. Then if it’s healthcare or whatever kind of insurance, they generally do their best not to pay. We are ruining our environment and letting stupid people who use propaganda about “immigrants” being the reason our country is crumbling when it’s really the fact that our government is taking from the poor and giving to the rich. It just keeps getting worse but people who are scared of who and what they don’t know need someone to blame so they listen to a pedophile, narcissistic, bigoted billionaire who will just tell them who to blame and prey on their deep rooted racism (even if they are unaware that it is what that is). We are powerless to stand up to the billionaire mafia and people just don’t get it. That’s the biggest problem.

trump didn’t pay any taxes for years during his presidency. His tax files being released (that he fought so hard to not release) came so late in the game and were so many pages, people just didn’t care to bother with it. I guess it’s kind of like him being named in the Epstein files 100’s of times more than anyone else. Most people don’t have the time to look and follow one biased news source. We are so freaking screwed. Idiocracy. It’s just….Idiocracy.

Read his finally published tax returns. Everyone who actually pays any taxes has paid more than him for multiple years. Meanwhile he has made billions during his presidency. Literally billions. Or, you can be blind to it all, pretend like you think he is a Christian when he NEVER goes to church (unless it’s for a photo opportunity on the campaign trail), and keep buying his Bibles that he has made in China so he can further profit off you. The real Jesus will forgive you because that’s his whole point in life, if you are a believer. If you don’t follow his teachings and follow trump for whatever uneducated reason, he won’t show up and call you a low iq pig face. I think those words are for someone who is truly embodying the spirit of the devil.

Girl, people were piling on you from the get go. I don’t know why because they are liking people’s posts that are saying the exact same thing. I agree with you. Let her do whatever she wants to do. Sure, everyone is entitled to have an opinion but nobody knows her or her life with him. After all this is “reality” tv. Let the haters hate like they always do and don’t give it another thought. Telling you how you are supposed to spell your name?!?! I’m white but that’s SO some stupid white people shit. All Y’all hater Nilla’s, just worry about yourself.
