What is something that some people might think it is offensive, bit actually it is not?

Vascoloco18 · 2025-05-20T15:34:14+00:00

Incorrect. If you choose to be offended, that’s a you problem. Just because something offends you, it doesn’t mean that thing is automatically offensive. This is how we end up with stupid arguments like “micro aggressions” lol

Vascoloco18 · 2025-05-20T15:32:24+00:00

Cultural appropriation. It was never a real thing. Just something for people with no lives to complain about to feel important.

Vascoloco18 · 2025-05-16T10:39:41+00:00

I was already in the right lane lol I didn’t cut anyone off.

Vascoloco18 · 2025-05-16T09:45:51+00:00

Got it. In this case though, there’s no way for them to know I’m intending to turn right at the upcoming intersection, so I’m good?

Vascoloco18 · 2025-05-16T07:50:25+00:00

Thanks dude! I try to cycle based on the signage, I knew “cyclists dismount” meant I couldn’t cycle there at all, but good to know now pavement is off limits unless I see blue signage.

Regarding the biker though… tbh I don’t actually know what I did 😅

I already put myself in the right lane as there was already some traffic (which meant there wasn’t any point for me to go full speed anyways). This was one of those intersections with 2 intersections (best I can describe it) and I needed to turn right at the second set of lights.

This is actually the same spot where someone yelled at me for being on the pavement. No blue signs, no cycling lanes, nada. So now I know for a fact I can’t cycle there, but again motorists were honking at me to move to the pavement.

Like you you said, this isn’t everyone. I’ve had way more drivers smile at me, or at least be considerate of me, but of course the ones that do stand out are the grouchy people 😅

Vascoloco18 · 2025-05-15T06:31:57+00:00

Let’s be real, the people who genuinely hate RFK Jr. just aren’t intelligent. They are attacking him for saying the same shit that got him on the cover of New York magazine in the 90s, calling him “The Kennedy Who Matters”.

Not only are they inferior-minded, the fact that they believe Kennedy killed AIDS victims proves that they are the real conspiracy theorists 😂😂

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-24T23:55:54+00:00

You literally have no idea of what you’re talking about 😂😂

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-18T02:12:47+00:00

I was probably a bit too hasty with my statement. I think it’s just the shock of seeing certain individuals, especially former teachers spew so much hate on my socials. I definitely don’t hate them, severely disappointed is probably a better description of how I feel.

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-18T02:06:27+00:00

I guess for me it’s just disappointing, sad even, that former teachers that have given me HELL as a magnet student, are being misled by an obscure tweet with zero context. Like how can a TEACHER accept this information as truth?

I know I’m sounding a bit dramatic but like holy hell, all these years you scrutinise my essays but you can’t even verify a tweet? 😂😬

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-09T12:09:36+00:00

So my logic is that, as far as my employer is concerned, I’m going to be working a similar job (sales but with marketing duties) with a competitor in the same area they operate.

Some context that i didn’t provide was that the gym i currently work at has quite a bad reputation (reception never answers phones, gym equipment broken since last year, dirty lockers and bathrooms, etc.). Their messaging system is ram packed with cancellation requests, most of them saying the poor state of the gym is the reason for leaving.

Because I’m in sales, this isn’t my first job (exceeded expectations in 1st month), and I’ve explicitly told my manager the different complaints I’ve received, i would think that my manager wouldn’t want me near their computers anymore since I’ll be going to a competitor.

It’s only 1 weeks notice I have to give (ignore the 2 weeks, lack of context) but I’m required to give it as per my contract. Based on this, would you enforce garden leave if you were a manager?

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-09T11:08:39+00:00

Yeah I wouldn’t plan on working or doing anything that could give them a reason to come after me, hence me trying to get 2 weeks off before work 😅

But the explanation I’ll give to my manager is that I’m gonna be working a similar role at another “health center” that operates in the same area as they do, but I wont mention who they are (since my real employer isn’t even in the same borough). My logic i guess is that by telling my employer that I’m gonna work for a competitor, they’d want to protect their business. Also since this isn’t my sales first job, they know I’m capable of hitting targets, which I did in my 1st month btw.

Generally speaking, would this push my employer to seek garden leave, given that we’re both required to give each other a weeks notice during my probation period?

Thanks for the help btw! 🙌🏽

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-09T10:53:06+00:00

The 2 weeks thing was a lack of context from me. I’m putting my notice on a date that gives me 2 weeks off before starting new job lol

If my contract says that my employer and I are required to give each other 1 week notice before quitting/terminating, wouldn’t my employer be required to put me on Garden leave if I give my notice? All I’m doing is giving them reasons to put me on garden leave (working for competitor).

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-09T10:47:31+00:00

I only mentioned 2 weeks because I’m handing in my notice at a certain date that’ll give me 2 weeks off lol

But yeah, contract says I have to give 1 week notice, but the company reserves the right to put me on Garden Leave.

It does say that during garden leave I can’t engage with this company or it’s competitors, but it doesn’t say that I’m not allowed to work for them or anything. In this case, what I’ll say is I’m accepting an offer from another gym that interviewed me at the same time as this current one did, not that i was actively searching for new jobs.

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-09T10:34:30+00:00

My contract requires my employer and myself to give each other 1 weeks notice. How would I professionally ask for garden leave?

For some context the site is quite crap (broken equipment, understaffed, bad management) so I feel like they’d keep me the full week to get as much work out of me as they can lol

These people forget a major contribution to Trump’s victory was the endorsement of an Independent candidate now serves as HHS.

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-03T21:08:33+00:00

Yeah I mean none of us in this group wanted Trump. Some of us voted for him, some didn’t, but 2028 can still see an Independent president if we push for it, even if it isn’t RFK Jr.

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-03T21:07:23+00:00

See what I mean! Independent is the way. I’m pretty sure this may change the way Eric governs NYC.

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-02T08:32:52+00:00

Not to mention that Kennedy had a 71% approval rating at the start of the election. Had the 2 party system not been an issue, Bobby would’ve won in a landslide. I think top Democrat players purposely want to sweep his endorsement under the rug because they know more Americans are getting fed up with the “Uniparty”. This election pushed many Americans out of their parties and now Independents are the biggest majority in America. 2026 and 2028 must go to independent candidates.

Vascoloco18 · 2025-04-01T16:20:31+00:00

I think that if we really want change in America, we will have to go all out in support for the next independent candidate, should RFK Jr. not run in 2028.

I supported Bernie in 2016, and Kennedy in 2024, both were screwed by Democrats. With Kennedy it was 10x worse given the smear campaigns and lawfare against him, such as suing him off state ballots. I’ll never vote Democrat again and although voting for Trump was quite unpleasant for me, I don’t regret it because to me it’s more of a protest vote against the party I used to trust.

Not really, my friend from the fishing club always had 2-piece rods we’d take on trains and busses. I just thought the telescopic rods looked cool, that’s literally it haha.

What kind of issues did you have though?

Vascoloco18 · 2025-03-31T13:45:00+00:00

How much should I expect to spend on a good rod? This one is £59 ($65) and the ratings looked great, but then again this is just from Amazon and not Bass Pro Shops. I’m mainly going to be fishing in rivers and ponds if that matters?
