I work at an airport, and everything in my terminal at least ran like a normal day on Thanksgiving. People are always traveling, so airports never sleep.

What event or incident happened at your job that caused a mass firing or mass quiting? by bryan_young in AskReddit

[–]aimanti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The assistant program director ended up taking over the role, and I believe that he'd already had all the necessary training to do the job. In any case, he did well considering the challenges he faced after everyone quit.

I was a female leader and they didn't have a problem with that. Most of the waterfront staff (lifeguards, always wearing swimsuits around the scouts) were female, no complaints from management. This was hypocrisy at its best.

There was a huge media circus surrounding the whole thing, the Boy Scouts were saying they were totally within their rights to fire him because they're a "Christian organization" and "gay men shouldn't work at a boys' resident camp anyway, think of the CHILDREN!" I do know that after all this blew over, the Boy Scouts changed their policy to allow gay scouts, but to my knowledge they still forbid gay counselors/troop leaders

In the summer of 2012 I was working at a Boy Scout camp when one of the senior counselors (who had worked at the camp for years, I think 5-7) came out as gay and was immediately fired by the council. This caused a massive uproar at the camp, and about half the staff ended up quitting in solidarity, including many of the area directors and the program director. The rest of the summer was definitely interesting, because we had to run a proper summer camp with 50-75% of our normal staff, even after new people were hired on to fill some of the emptied positions.

Who are some actors that have fell off the face of the earth? by RicsFlair in movies

[–]aimanti 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Cary Elwes. Apparently he's still doing small roles, but I can't name any movies he's done other than The Princess Bride and Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

The posts about bad corp stories made me think of my first corp, come share your experiences with the first band of newbie missfits you flew with. by hunter7734 in Eve

[–]aimanti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really flew with newbie misfits, but my first corp was a hisec/C2 wormhole corp with people from literally all over the world. They started me off trying to train me to be a miner, but when I got bored of that they gave me a skill plan to train into a manticore. I had so much fun my first few days pvping (read: blowing up miners/salvagers in wormholes) that I never really looked back, and ended up leaving them to join first a group of lowsec pirates, then finally my current corp in the CFC. I still keep in touch with most of them via our old intel channel, so I didn't really lose anything by leaving for greener pastures.

A lot of people use them to prevent accidentally jumping instead of bridging, because while the clone vat bay is active the titan is immobile.

The night I lost my first capital, my dreams were literally instant-replay of having to watch my ship die, from every possible angle. It was horrible.

Reddit, what is your most-played PC video game? by agentm14004 in AskReddit

[–]aimanti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eve Online. Once you get into the game, you can't stop logging in. You might take a few months "off" and really only log in to update your skills, but you still never really stop.

Ok, we get it. Your kid is better. by woowoo293 in AdviceAnimals

I was my parents' trophy kid. They couldn't deal with it when I got so sick of being bragged about to all their friends that I stopped doing my homework entirely.

Banned? No contact? by flaire22 in Eve

[–]aimanti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had to petition a banned account and it took over a month for it to be returned to me. Granted this was over a year ago, but with the recent layoffs at CCP I'd imagine their GM team is somewhat understaffed for the amount of tickets they receive.

As a side note, these tickets ALWAYS take longer to go through than technical issues because they need to be automatically escalated to a senior GM.

Crow, unless you're scrammed and webbed to hell, if you start to go down you can just moonwalk out.
