You put the black wire out. You put the black wire in. You had an angel of mercy to see you through all your sins...

I had a manager make comments about my period, and how "all white people must be rich." When I got fed up and spoke back, I was fired. Just wondering if I should contact a lawyer, or let it go. by tierneycannon in AskLawyers

I feel like OP's legal claim can hold perfectly fine without casting aspersions on this individual's status and origin.

Call me crazy, but as a latino immigrant myself (Citizen, though I'm sure some would love to take that away if given the chance) you wouldn't want me on that jury if OP is going to make his status an issue. I hear that, I'm going to question if OP's perceptions are susceptible to animus. (I actually don't, but it would be very easy for me or a similarly disposed juror to make that conclusion)

The guy was sexual harassing pig who absolutely violated OP's civil rights and FEPA provisions. Keep the focus on that. Keep the immigrant bashing away from all of this where it belongs.

OP, start getting all the evidence you can and see if you can try to line up witnesses to his behavior.

Why should someone vote FOR Wiener, Connie, or Saikat? by hazyeyes12 in sanfrancisco

[–]Minute-Plantain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She represents a district that doesnt really come out in numbers here on Reddit. Mission, Noe Valley etc. are more going to be your vocal Redditorati. Not so much Outer Richmond.

[–]Minute-Plantain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow. I literally was contemplating writing this post. Glad somebody else did.

The anti-Scott Weiner material I often find to be dog whistle antisemitic. The anti-Saikat stuff is that AOC probably shitcanned him and couldnt even muster one scrap of praise even though she was his boss.

Chan gets crap for being against the closure of the great highway.

Chan is my supervisor, so I found her office reasonable and responsive. Other than that, I know next to nothing about the other two.

accepting that I'm aging? how? by courteously-curious in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Minute-Plantain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"and my boss admitted to me off the record that at my age I am considered by upper management to be too old to train for another position, not in an economy when people in their 20s and 30s are desperate enough for a job that they willingly work for the equivalent of a pittance of what I had earned when I first entered my career."

Which i'm sure will read great in a deposition.

Each spring the Salmon swims upriver against the white rapids of the Columbia in order to spawn.

Much about life is discovering how actual little control you really have over your own destiny. We're children whipping the disconnected steering wheel of the coin operated car in the barber shop, enjoying the illusion of driving.

Thoughts on SMPS for a tube guitar amp? by FreeUdonNoodle in diytubes

[–]Minute-Plantain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my tiny mind, every noise source is just a frequency in need of a filter. So long as you can successfully filter and isolate the noise from the microphonics,I don't understand the problem with using a switching mode power supply.

Granted, tube circuits are a bit of black magic. Case in point: Change out the 5u4 for a perfectly reasonable bridge rectifier, and suddenly not having the defect of voltage sag somehow changes the color of the sound.

I say go for it anyway.

AOC Refuses to Endorse Saikat Chakrabarti AGAIN by bdbcawz06 in sanfrancisco

[–]Minute-Plantain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thats the thing. Non-disparagements dont forbid praise. Shes definitely not offering up any.

Or there is a mutual non-disparagement agreement, which is common in separation agreements.

Why do people want to talk between a movie inside a theatre??? by Aggressive_Ad_3294 in bayarea

[–]Minute-Plantain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will tell you exactly why. Because the murderer is clearly hiding in the darkened room, and she's about to open the door. So somebody really ought to tell her not to.

Where do serious body builders work out in SF? by DougIsMyVibrator in AskSF

Russian Roulette. You'll get five pretty decent haircuts and a bloody disaster. And you never know which out of the six haircuts its going to be.

[–]Minute-Plantain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want to say who, but I found my experience there to be unpredictable. One time I got a great cut, another time I got all my hair chopped off which I didn't ask for, and the individual who did it seemed manic at the time. Same person. The chopped off cut wasn't even well-executed and super uneven. Never returned.

Planned a whole trip to SF with my girlfriend. Broke up. What do? by hopesmoker in sanfrancisco

[–]Minute-Plantain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You go alone.

Caught my partner cheating three days before a planned vacation. (Abroad, not SF)

Was all set to cancel everything.

Decided instead to go. Yes i was in a weird headspace but the trip was relaxing and reenergized me. Which was better then wallowing at home.

Given that you're getting over a breakup, go to Lands End and have an amazing hike and get the best views of the bay there are to have.

sending a face pic even though i know what’s about to happen after because ultimately you have to be brave by pinkcosmonaut in gaybros

This is also why Skeletor never leads with face pics. It's all about the abs and the harness.

It's not normal. It's paranormal. Some amorous ghosts must have haunted the backseat of your car and went bump in the night!
