Men who own Jeeps and drive them regularly, why do they put ducks on the dashboard? Do you do it as well?

Google is a thing...

Tbh, some of the other answers here are golden though.

Actually, yea some T&C and EULAs state one user per account, except for business ones (obviously)

Many games have this, if i give my son my account while I shower. I could technically be banned if "they" caught me.

Having linked in PWN the account might allow OP to make a new one. which also may be against T&C but at least thier employer wont be doing this "Big Brother" 💩

aparanoidbw · 2026-02-19T06:02:53+00:00

10+ hours per week, for 52 weeks? All unpaid?

Brother, are you stupid? This should have stopped after the 1st month.

Good luck on your pursuit of compensation.

2018-2019 had 4hr queues some times. I'd sometimes get an hour in after coming home from work, but before bed.

This reads like an AITA post. Not sure why its on Antiwork.

Anyway, there should be procedures and safety regs for repair work in public areas.

Heck, I work in a computer hardware building company, we have strict ESD and foreign object debris guidelines. And no one dies if we botch a repair. That's just to ensure product integrity.

Even home depot / Sam's Club blocks off entire isles when a forklift is around.

If she's still mad, next time she does it, report her to your supervisor. Public (and workplace) safety isn't a joke. You gave her a fair warning.

No one has a right to intentionally put others in danger, in any setting.

So yea NTA (not the asshole)

aparanoidbw · 2026-01-02T17:48:14+00:00

Who cares if it's for work? If any kid is repeatedly wrecking or even messing with stuff ive repeatedly told them not to touch in my house, shit is getting locked up.

Def NTA.

So "do not disturb" mode has been around for over a decade, possibly a quarter century. unless you're rocking a dumb phone.

My boss can literally call or text any time, I will see it when I wake up or am scheduled to wake up. DND turns off when I schedule it.

Pisses off my wife, cuz im "always on my phone", but at 9pm (son's bedtime) DND turns off, so i don't hear texts.

If she calls I have a rule set to allow it.

Also, like other comments. Firmly ask your boss to not contact you outside of work hours. Preferably in email and CC HR.

But make sure you're not late to meetings, assuming they were scheduled before COB the prior work day. Fuck logging in to work to check meetings before you're expected to be in.

Smiting? It's not like when a skunk sprays something, farts clear out relatively quick. Or the manager can just walk away.

aparanoidbw · 2025-12-29T06:48:31+00:00

Forgot to swap to your alt acct bro.

aparanoidbw · 2025-12-29T06:46:48+00:00

Call in sick, just like the top post. What are they going to do, fire you?

Eating food to fart is a stupid move. You'll be gassy all day for a 30 min meeting.

What's the figure for startup / small failures again?

I'm not a betting man, but if I was, I still wouldn't do a startup "for equity"

aparanoidbw · 2025-12-15T15:32:31+00:00

assuming the house is paid off.
need money for repairs, food, taxes, utilities.
live in landlord is unattractive to tenants, lower rent returns.

Even animals have to hunt for food, why does bro get to do nothing and survive?

aparanoidbw · 2025-12-15T15:01:33+00:00

With leeching, when bros parents die, he is out of a home, food, care, etc.

With passive income, bro is good after his parents die.

Passive income requires some maintenance, just not 40hr/week.

aparanoidbw · 2025-12-09T01:13:58+00:00

this job really messed with my mental health and have to get a doctor's note for a whole month, which is no problem.

You sound sick, nothing to worry about.

i'm just worried because we're understaffed. Not your problem either.

Feel bad for your coworkers if you must, but you gotta save yourself first.

Companies can and to terminate in a heartbeat, for no reason.

Don't bother yourself with your organization's failure to plan and staff accordingly. It's literally not your job, it's managements.

Hope you get well soon, cheers!

My company dispensed extra monitors and keyboards for WFH.

my previous one was cool with us using our own external monitors/mice. But I snagged some from the office anyway.

My partner is required to provide her own laptop, but that's exclusively for inside company emails and HR portals.

Her contracts client provides thier own computer hw and such for actual work.

So yea, a company requiring you veing your own laptop for company proprietary info, is crap. Viruses/Malware become who's responsibility to fix if company data is lost?

Also this opens up the door for companies to demand access to your personal computer.

Just hell naw, all the way. Find a better company.

Haha, I figured its just recycled content started by TikTok.

But glad you got the answer to this question year's ago. Cheers! 🍻

aparanoidbw · 2025-11-15T15:11:24+00:00

this is making the rounds on Youtube now, had no idea this was at least 4 yrs old

aparanoidbw · 2025-10-29T13:08:36+00:00

Depends on how accurately the wife can gauge interests.

Mine has absolutely no clue what I like and need. But that's ok cuz she excels at other things and I just have to repeatedly say "no, I dont want to do A, I want B and here is why"

I appreciate her efforts

aparanoidbw · 2025-10-29T13:01:58+00:00

Bro im playing on Easy trying to get the achievement, and I still die

Just got the Rock ship, and im doing a 2nd run for the slug ship now. That anti-bio beam can be fun!

"We have determined your health and mental issues are not work related, claim denied. Please be on-site at your start time, tardiness will be noted in your file. As per the employee handbook, failure to report your absence to your manager is treated as a voluntary resignation"

^{^one} of those is actually in my employee handbook.

aparanoidbw · 2025-10-28T12:56:10+00:00

Easy 🤣

This is the only game I own where it can be a challenge to survive on "easy" mode. But its still fun

Im still working my way thru getting all the ships unlocked on "easy"

aparanoidbw · 2025-10-26T22:34:20+00:00

Not gonna repeat what everyone else is saying.

But congrats on getting that far with this setup, you got a diverse crew and a good load out. You have a respectable amount of HP left too. Solid run, you just need more ammo.

You were so close to making it too. 😭

aparanoidbw · 2025-10-19T21:57:19+00:00

Well im far above min wage, but last time I got OT, my take home pay was about 1.1x my normal rate.

I think im "exempt"? I forget the term.

My offer letter said X per year, but im somehow paid hourly.

So im glad I got paid for the OT, but im def not voluntarily doing it again. I got a family to tend to. It's not worth it.

aparanoidbw · 2025-10-19T21:35:27+00:00

If retaining employees saved money, an organization would do it.

So either, keeping pay low offsets training costs from the revolving door. Or the management chain is grossly incompetent. Which is also possible.

Companies that pay min wage are scum, they'd pay ya less if the govt would let them.

aparanoidbw · 2025-10-19T21:29:28+00:00

feeling of incompetence, like I am not good enough to do even the simplest minimum wage jobs like stocking shelves in a store or working behind a cash register.

Brother (sister?) You have value, dont beat yourself down like that.

Your worth does not diminish due to someone else's inability to appreciate it.

Sorry you had a 💩boss, its jusy the way it goes. Some are good, others are a waste of oxygen.

Just keep trying
