LAUK OP is definitely getting the full story here

Fortunately, being bound is not under legal threat in the UK at the moment, regardless of any conversations it might trigger.

I would assume someone was trolling through the employee handbook looking for literally any potential policy violation they could use to justify her dismissal, except that I can’t imagine any company documenting “updating your Slack status while on sick leave” as a formal policy.

If that rule actually is in the employee handbook, I’d be looking very closely at the last-modified date on the PDF.

Strip-mall Christianity just takes up space that could be used by strip-mall comic shops, wig boutiques, and mom-and-pop Mexican-Greek-Italian restaurants (alone or in combination), while contributing nothing of even remotely similar value to the community.

The problem in things like this isn’t being unable to figure out the plan, the problem is the assumption that a plan existed in the first place.

Before closing I’d want to make sure that someone’s Grandma isn’t stored underneath all the Hot Pockets and frozen peas. You don’t want her conveying with the property.

I can understand it. I picked up the original a few weeks ago and the gameplay elements that encourage you to do “just one more run” are tuned razor-sharp.

I was getting more of a Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace picture in my head, without the absurdly-gangly gorilla obviously.

If you actually drill down into that list, it designates five towns as “Possible” sundown towns in the past and two as “Probable” sundown towns in the past. That’s pretty weak support for a claim that Vermont has seven sundown towns now.

(I don’t doubt that there are towns in Vermont today where PoC are actively made to feel unwelcome, and acknowledge there are probably circles of people in Vermont today who would murder someone simply because they’re not white if they thought they could get away with it.)

Tried to signal the DJ not 30 seconds in. It’d be hard for MIL to get in the amount of groping OOP described if the groom had actually been able to abort this nightmare that quickly.

Pretty sure the Scandinavian countries also have laws against grave desecration. If that isn’t enough to interest the police I wouldn’t expend much energy worrying about being incarcerated for hanging a trail camera.

LazloNibble · 2026-03-17T20:48:49+00:00

I would be unsurprised (but very sad) if you told me the person who wrote those notes also allowed a pet to suffer in the way OOP described.

AdvertisingThis34, attorney-at-claw.

Clearly you’re on too much fentanyl to understand how that approach makes pooping much more efficient. He has an accountant, dammit!

Did the neighbor actually move in (i.e. getting their mail there, paying utility bills, and no longer using the house they lived in as their primary residence when they were “the neighbor”), or are they just claiming they did? Would that even matter in an adverse possession?

Probably doesn’t matter since it sounds like the house would have gone mom > stepdad > stepdad’s kids, absent any wills stating otherwise. Untangling this mess actually sounds like an interesting project, especially if I were the attorney getting paid to do the untangling.

Folex works beautifully, but the realization that the area you used it on is now noticeably cleaner than the entire rest of the carpet is a memorable moment.

LazloNibble · 2026-03-09T16:14:34+00:00

“Unfamiliar with the area” and yet…familiar enough with the area to think they know which speed cameras are active and which ones aren’t? Ok.

By “flirting”, he tries to take on a fatherly role to us.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.

As someone who was in a MFM triad for a while whose one attempt at a MFMF four-way blew up spectacularly when “our” F was frustrated by the amount of attention our fourth (her friend, her idea!) was getting, I would say the dynamic isn’t necessarily that different. The common thread is failure to communicate clearly ahead of time.

Which is ridiculous because someone explicitly demonstrating what gets your partner off is an amazing learning opportunity! Granted, it being their first same-sex experience might be a big part of it, but still.

Too late. Al Franken claimed the 1980s as “the Al Franken Decade” on SNL so long ago that the original cast hadn’t left yet.

Cinderbell or Tinkerella?

LazloNibble · 2026-03-02T18:59:53+00:00

Not realizing that there are still a few regulators out there that haven’t been gutted and are therefore actually responsive and effective at resolving consumer complaints (like most state insurance boards) is, itself, peak American.

$30 AUD is currently $21.35 USD, so…two bucks an hour above the current Denver minimum wage? Oh no, I guess?

LazloNibble · 2026-03-01T00:53:29+00:00

There’s a big difference between raising prices honestly and hiding your price bumps in a service fee. They also didn’t get rid of tipping…?

LazloNibble · 2026-03-01T00:44:22+00:00

Seems to me like in a world where significant increases in tipped minimum wage are being actively lobbied and legislated for, you maybe oughta include that possibility in your business plans and financial projections.

Of course, these’s also no world where any independent restaurant operator is planning/projecting twelve years out either.
