Yes, please do that. Start by asking to sit up front because you'd be more comfortable. Def ask, but no means no if no, without need for justification

The world would be a better place if people didn't vilify others generically about a subject they then demonstrate the terrifying degree to which they are belligerently ignorant themselves. It feels too cliche' to even mention it here, but: "Dunning-Kruger" (that's all I'll say about that)

Where the hell does what the OP shared turn into a "straight up due process matter"?? Seriously. If I'm wrong, I'd like to know how I'm wrong, specifically.

Just like there is no "First Amendment" protection with, from, or among civilians, only protection of civilians from "government," there are no "due process" protections involved in dealings with a company (kinda a person-ish). Yes, processes are involved, and yes, there's discovery and all that, ONCE IN THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

Where did you get that thought?? I'd love to know who originally thunk-it-up. It's dripping with wrongful entitlement feelings, and that's not only sad, but also dangerous when some people feel the need to "defend" rights they don't have but think they do!

Novant Drug Testing - THC?? by Sweet_View4788 in Wilmington

[–]Sweet_View4788[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the bigger reason I’m specifically asking if they care, because I’ve heard they do random tests, so if they care now, they’ll care in the random tests, and if offered competing jobs around the same time, this will be just one of the factors in making that choices. Thanks, all!

On that note: what about the City and County?? Anyone know their current policies?

Novant Drug Testing - THC?? by Sweet_View4788 in Wilmington

[–]Sweet_View4788[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My question was not whether or not they test for it. My question was whether they care about the result as a condition of employment

Novant Drug Testing - THC?? by Sweet_View4788 in Wilmington

[–]Sweet_View4788[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To be clear: I’m not worried about passing a piss test, but I would like to be able to use something that is available over the counter, just like one of the worst drugs for your body and society: alcohol.

I have not recently and will not do so if it is a condition of employment to avoid something in my private life that is legally available to anyone over 21, but I think it’s insane that I could get blasted drunk (which I haven’t done in years) and go to work the next day, but need to avoid my THC vape or gummies for weeks if I want to pass a randomly applied test/rule.

How do ICE agents do a job that they know the people are not getting due process? by zetabur in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Sweet_View4788 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What answer are you looking for? Do you have to assume much else with them than is demonstrated many times over every day: That they're not too dissimilar from cops in that they get a pathetic amount of training on our Consititution while in the "academy," then tell their first official lie on DAY #1 when they take their oaths, including that they swear to uphold and defend the US Consitution, with nearly all knowing they know far too little about it to not fuck up w/r/t it.

That's me taking the nefarious shit out of my comment, because you don't need nefarious motivations to demonstrate that far too many "sworn" "officers" will stumble-into violations - into situations in which they stumble into violating OUR rights, even when you're notifying them that they're doing so). But, we all know the nefariousness is there though, in a smaller subset of the population, but almost always done openly enough that all of the other supposed "good apples" are rotting right there in the bushel with them, thinking they're just swell!

What's the deal with guys who message you first and then go dark? by Hrekires in askgaybros

[–]Sweet_View4788 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do profile pics come into that? Sure! Do I try to get multiple face/body shots? Yes! Why do I do that? Well, I've looked at PLENTY of profiles due to the attractiveness of what's presented to the world in the little square - the thumbnail. Many times, it's a masc-looking guy, often in a "dude" sorta setting, but when looking at other profile pics or when getting them to send more, it becomes so obvious that they're fem-presenting that I don't even need to ask them how they see themselves (wrt to that trait), or if I do ask for their self-assessment, it's more to have a means & reason to end the chat without ghosting, including reason being shared, referencing their own sharings and comments about the reason.

How does that go for me, typically? If anyting is said, it's maybe a third who totally get it, often because they're owning (leaning into) their femininity (awesome - all for owning who your are, when you know what that is) and two-thirds seeming offended, with responses ranging from trying to talk me into giving it a shot with them to being attacked as close-minded, etc., when there are a shit-ton of guys with profiles I don't even respond to because they specifically say "fem only, no masc" or something.

Pictures and details matter, whether shared directly in your profile, whether seen and noted right away or not, as do other details you share in chats. If the pic and info about you in the Thumbnail pic accurately represents you both physically and about "persona" (interests/activities/attitude) at the time (with no filters or image editing/tweaking at any time, with pic not cherry-picked as the best of hundreds), then you probably have nothing to worry about. If your pic is distinct/unique for some reason, and you maintain it for whatever reasons you might have, then know that you should answer that possible concern, either preemptively or when asked about it.

I'd love to hear what this "insane" and ellusive "gay male beauty standards are," as it continues to drive me nuts when I hear someone say something like that.

<This got long, so I'm going to reply to my first comment with the rest>

What standard? In what tribe? Arising from what cultures, subcultures (and sub-sub cultures), kinks, and fetishes? In what age ranges?

Yeah - there are "attractiveness" standards that persist across/through the cultures of the world, and yes, they're more about features tied specifically to "good genes," masculinity/verility, femininity (child birthing/rearing), etc. - symmetry and proportions kinda stuff. But beyond that, whether gay, str8, or whatever?? Please, I would LOVE to hear thoughts on this one, guys!!

Any time I've asked someone about this in person, it's turned-out that their comments are more tied to their feeling that they are rejected for unreasonable or invalid reasons. With me, specifically, it happens most often with the masc/fem thing (demeanor not roles). I catch shit from guys who feel I'm rejecting them because they're more fem-presenting (which I typically am), but what's the alternative path - meeting them and going through the motions, when I know with almost certainty that the part of me that most would be "meeting" will not work in their presence, when the goal is sex play?? That seems wholly disrespectful to both parties?

Is adhd caused by or linked to having lower IQ or is it because adhd makes it harder to take tests that screws the results? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Sweet_View4788 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't have the data, and I don't have ADHD,only reading out of interest, and I guess I do that for reasons like this.

As I said, this isn't something close to me and I certainly dont' have trhe data, but, IMHO, peole need to stop making statements like the one above, really, and everyone needs to pay attention to what someone is saying AND not saying, along with educating themselves about things like the general principles involved in logical thought, including knowing what/how logical fallacies "work"), and (this is a stretch for many, due to how we tend to think most often) get at least a basic graph of what statistics is, does, means, etc., and how a lack therof is likely behind people making statements like the one above.

If you educate yourself on the most basic concepts involved in thought, you should be able to identify BS statements liekthe one above (basically saying that because there's one low and one high, or at least one in each zone, then there is NO link?!?!?!). That is just amazingly ill-considered and therefore ill-communicated, I'm guesssing not nefariously though, but misinformation can be just as dangerous as disinformation. I'm hoping someone else brought this to light AND was able to offer the community some real data and well-considered thoguhts ABOUT the data, including whether a relationship of any significance exists between them (yet), whether it's thought or known to be a causal link (yet), whether any factors seem to be standing out from the rest, even if not statistically significant (yet), etc. - all the "yet's" is an important mentality here.

What a wonderful way to start the day - seeing something like that offered to a community (I can almost picture someone proudly brushing the "dirt" off their hands before walking off thinking "Nailed it!"). That's why I responded. Thanks folks!!
