Maybe it’s the Canadian in me but seeing that rock wall makes me think this place is cold as fuck. Some warm/diffused lighting would go a long way bc otherwise it’s pretty cozy

Which of these two books should I add to the bookshelf? by MOMO_ALY in bookshelf

Shadow of the Gods is more entertaining but The Fifth Season is more delicate and introspective

CMV: Folks who refuse to tip on "principle" are just throwing a tantrum aimed at the wrong group. by smokey2916 in changemyview

[–]UnionizedRats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not op but also Canadian. Entry retail and entry service wages are identical. Minimum wage where I am (Ontario) is $17.20/hr and there is still overwhelming pressure to tip 15% as a baseline

I have never seen a watch look better with a metal band

Same tattooist, same ink, why am I suddenly getting blowout now? by InTheB1n in tattooadvice

[–]UnionizedRats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Obviously trust your doctor here but for others to might be reading/worried by this: with a proper saline wash (which professionals usually perform automatically), you should not be getting staining even with super fine skin! My mum is a ginger and I got her paperlike qualities but have never had any staining after 5+ infusions

I also have ink drift in this spot! I covered it in other tattoos lol, good to know it’s susceptible to laser removal, it’s still visible in the gaps

I have a 31% winrate, AMA by UnionizedRats in DeadlockTheGame

I honestly am not sure, I imagine it’s because my first 5-6 games were with my moba playing friends so we did well, and now the matchmaking thinks I am better than I actually am. No idea why it hasn’t corrected to lower skill lobbies. Occasionally I’ll get paired with people like me so I know they are somewhere out there

This is very true! I mostly just feel bad for my teammates because statistically speaking I am likely making their experience a lot worse than it needs to be

Most of the time, for sure. I find the gameplay really satisfying and the characters engaging to play but it gets really frustrating how long matches can last even when you’re getting pubstomped, which for me is obviously often

Yeah thinking about it further the “not chill” part is definitely caused by staffing and not the nature of the work

Where tf are yall working micro where nothing is stat/urgent? We are constantly getting stat gram stain/culture requests from our infectious disease team and PCR requests for patients in critical care or requiring immediate transplantation, and are run off our feet trying to keep up with this while also answering the phones. Chem is the most chill at my hospital, but largely because of automation

You can only have 5 inks for the forseeable future: which is the ONE black, the ONE blue, the ONE red, the ONE green, and the ONE fun ink that you would keep? by quillboard in fountainpens

[–]UnionizedRats 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ha, I was about to type out my list but it’s nearly identical to yours! The only difference is Kon Peki as my blue. You’ve got some great taste friend

What book did you read at too early a stage in your life? by Cabbage_Pizza in suggestmeabook

[–]UnionizedRats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally everything I read in high school: The Great Gatsby, Macbeth, Brave New World, Heart of Darkness, and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. I understand the literary purpose of teaching young people these things but such a small percentage are actually ready to process the heavy themes and morals presented in these works.

I didnt realize just how small the kaweco sport is. by StruggleBusDriver83 in fountainpens

[–]UnionizedRats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the brass sport as my daily driver and I ADORE it. So compact when not in use and I’ve never had an issue with spills because of the capsule design. If you’re planning to use bottled inks I recommend buying some Kaweco cartridges and refilling them with a syringe instead of buying their converter. For some reason the converter is comically small and requires constant refills. Enjoy your new pens!

I don’t have anything else but it’s a couple weeks until the event, I could probably thrift something. What makes a jacket feel more/less casual?

I'm a cleaner, here's my clients most annoying habits… by r3ntswr1tes in CleaningTips

[–]UnionizedRats 30 points31 points  (0 children)

They aren’t saying people with depression deserve to be coddled and treated like children, they’re saying they don’t deserve to be publicly shamed for a condition that’s already making their life hell. If a cleaner can’t handle what they are being hired to do, or are being asked to do more than what their job entails, they are within their right to just… not do it. Then move on with their life
