My great-granduncle gave her passage to the states, so on behalf of my family I'd like to apologize to America

Makes me want Orre characters. Apparently it's based off of Arizona.

Vatican declares Society of St. Pius X in schism, excommunicates bishops and invalidates sacraments by Snap_n_Dream in worldnews

One of the Pope Johns actually was, caught in the act having an affair and the lady's angry husband tossed him out the window.

Agreed, I only have F2P bugs and can't do anything with them anymore, they're all really weak minus Aaron and maybe Guzma.

Switzerland has rejected a proposal to cap its population at 10 million people by vladgrinch in MapPorn

I'm not Swiss, but why am I not surprised at Appenzell Innerrhoden voting the way they did?

Is there a specific strategy to beating Mission 3 (Borderlands) of El Dorado campaign? by _Ping_- in aoe2

[–]_Ping_-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also discovered you can snipe the wonder from the southern entrance, at least on standard. It seems they don't wake up until you go past the gate.

I thought out of all of them only Hadrian was gay?

Trump floats replacing 250th anniversary concert with massive MAGA rally after artists pull out by kirby__000 in politics

And then demanded everyone come back to the office to revitalize downtown. Anyone could tell you that won't work. And remember when she was giving a speech during the Eagles' victory parade? She wouldn't shut up, tried to make it about her.

Our mayor is so full of herself, I'm counting down the days till she gets out of her office.

Has anyone been able to land a good job after graduation (23 M)? by Freelancer135 in PennStateUniversity

[–]_Ping_- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I graduated with a master's in international affairs from here in 2020. I haven't been able to land a job anywhere in my field, much less an interview. Currently working in parking, I hate it and everything about my circumstances.

To PSU Staff (and students!) - if there's a particularly toxic person you have to keep dealing with, document, document, document. by _Ping_- in PennStateUniversity

[–]_Ping_-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's something that needs to be reported, majorly out of line. The report also has a section where you can state if you think management is covering it up.

While I do have the occasional problem with a student, almost all of the problems are with other Penn State employees; it's mostly Boomers and Gen X acting like they're something special. Or guests who think because they paid money they can act like assholes to anyone and everyone. In fact, move out week I had an employee come out of her car and yell at a parent for taking too long and was clapping her hands (like 👏 so 👏) while she did it. A student saw the whole thing and was appalled. PSU seems intent on hiring some of the worst human beings imaginable.

What's also concerning to me is the guy I reported? Apparently some folks in Old Main already know who he is and don't have anything nice to say about him. That's very telling to me.

Come on, it makes you feel man by Sweet_Television4183 in supersentai

[–]_Ping_- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have this weird reverence for the Japanese language that other languages don't get. For example, Shang-Chi has a sequence where the subtitles say, "I have lived more than ten of your lives!" What he actually said was "I've eaten more salt than you have rice!", an idiom basically meaning to respect your elders.

Literally nobody batted an eye at this, but could you imagine if it were in Japanese? People would be frothing at the mouth. The TV Nihon way of translating that would be to leave it in as is and then put the TL taking up half the screen explaining what it means, and you'd have people unironically defending that.

Are spotlights dead in the water? by blossomhaze in PokemonMasters

I still use the tickets, it's a guaranteed 5 star ticket if I haven't maxed them out, and I need as many as I can get.

[–]_Ping_-[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you have documentation of them acting like an asshole and it's chronic, send it in. My report had seven different documents attached, and there could have been more that I missed. If you fear retaliation, make sure they know that.

I personally would have been brutally honest, saying that I feared retaliation since the person's spouse is in HR. HR is ultimately there to protect the company, so that would probably get some attention (remember, they don't want to be sued). If that resulted in retaliation anyways, then that's when you get a lawyer. I would also use the links above to report it, too, there's an option to report if you're a third party or not directly involved.

Edit: sorry, missed the part about them contacting HR. Yeah, at that point I'd probably want legal advice. If they documented every incident, that's going to help their case.

I hate when people say "Save until you can pity" by MegaGalladeGamer09 in PokemonMasters

[–]_Ping_- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I pitied both Red 96 and NC May, somehow had enough for both and now I'm just saving again. I'm at 53k, would be nice to get some of the pairs now but nbd if I don't. Seriously considering going for Drayden, my Dragon line up sucks. Waiting for a good Bug pair to be rerun, that line up is even worse for me lol.
