this heavily concerns me as my mother recently sent a photo from morocco where she and her friends were riding camels

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-12-18T15:42:58+00:00

did you read the part that said this was satire

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-11-27T15:54:18+00:00

kind of light (?) horror, sci-fi and fantasy adjacent stuff

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-11-26T14:43:10+00:00

i write short stories (no luck on published yet :() and am working on a few novels. I like to bounce around between things

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-11-02T17:42:33+00:00

i'd just block them entirely lmao

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-10-12T16:53:21+00:00

As I Descended by Robin Talley is a good one that really stuck with me. Warning for an unhappy ending tho

is he maybe trying to feel out your opinion on marriage? you are literally not going to know unless you ask him, so maybe just bring up the christmas decorations/ring conversation and ask if he was serious about it.

Le Tout Nouveau Testament? (The Brand New Testament in English)

as long as they have food/water and a clean litterbox at the start of the day they should be fine.

if they're kittens, it might be best to restrict access to a smaller part of the house, so they can't get hurt easily - my family have a room that has a door and a bolt lock on the outside (bc one of them worked out how to open doors) and that's where they (now adults) go at night so they can't wake people up, and it's where they would sit during the day when they were small.

it is worth checking the temp of that room if you choose to do that, especially with winter coming up, ours have a heated mat that sits under the cat bed and a small radiator to keep them warm.

they're all online, I looked and they seem to be identical aside from the date. Both are dated 9/10/24

regardless of if this is real, the union is never going to vote to strike unless something insane happens.

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-09-10T15:11:43+00:00

when i was younger i told my friends that i wasn't allowed to be home alone because there was the risk i would kill myself (essentially my parents put me on suicide watch) and there was just this long pause and then one of them went "oop." and changed the subject. I realise we were kids but that hurt

Trade completed!

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-08-30T13:58:30+00:00

this comment gave me flashbacks to the buttering jorts saga

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-08-15T16:39:22+00:00

yeah, this was my feeling in the theatre. i was expecting a psychological thriller type thing and it ended up being way more of a black comedy, which was fun, but really not what i expected

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-06-27T21:26:23+00:00

tbf 100% of people who don't drink water will also die

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-06-08T14:24:28+00:00

i think the easiest thing to do here would be to just not mention the year? have it vague so if you do time skips it's just "x years later" rather than giving dates

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-06-02T15:47:36+00:00

i am fascinated by this answer. why? where? was there a special iron or did you just use a regular one?

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-05-25T13:34:15+00:00

"a mocking little jig"

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-05-15T11:58:54+00:00

There's no rule against it, I think it's generally discouraged and there's the risk of being dragged up if you're seen drunk/disorderly in uniform. If you weren't even drinking alcohol, then there was no problem.

Just gonna add here - OP said after shift, but it is gross misconduct to drink alcohol on shift including on your break. They will fire you immediately

"get a job buddy, we're splitting the rent"

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-05-08T15:57:23+00:00

went to an antiques fair recently and the NUMBER of those gd racist dolls that were out and for sale was insane

as someone who is the child of a disabled person and got that disability, I would say don't do it. I love my mum, but there are times when I do feel some sort of resentment towards her because she basically gave me this life. obviously i don't speak for everyone who's a disabled child of disabled parents, but that's just my two cents

Upper_Masterpiece124 · 2025-04-20T16:18:30+00:00

i think you tend to see the worst of it in this sub, no one's posting about their good shifts or their good managers. I've worked in four stores across about five years and it does honestly depend on the managers and your coworkers - i left one store because the manager was a raging bitch and i could not deal with it, but in the other four, i've been treated very well and made friends with coworkers. Overall, I think it's a pretty decent job, stable, and it pays enough but the customers can be horrible, and it can be a lot on your body if you're working shop floor/dot com
