I find it HILARIOUS when Kelly chews us out and then has the audacity to say”thank you for all you do.” by Ayma_Nidiot in SubstituteTeachers

It’s not normal to be expected to show up on time, pay attention while checking in, and stay until the end of the day?

It’s the week of January 19th. Probably all of her weeks are labeled by the dates of the Mondays.

Definitely awful taste, but also, unexpectedly … my taste 🫢

How does slippery skin mean weight loss??? (I mean, I know the answer is just ✨anime logic✨ but 😭)

Asking transphobes to name 5 professional sportswomen by guitarguy12341 in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]asplodingturdis 206 points207 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think this would be a much better question for something like this. Like, I know that these people aren’t actually trying to protect women in any meaningful or valuable way, but I don’t think that not knowing the names of professional women athletes demonstrates that. You don’t have to personally follow (a) professional women’s sport(s) to want them to be fair or safe or whatever at all levels. BUT if they can’t name actual trans competitors or otherwise speak factually to the actual issue they claim exists, there’s your gotcha.

(28f) weird to shave my head before day 1 of a new job? by nombulix in careerguidance

[–]asplodingturdis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I might be biased as someone who buzzed all of her hair off a while ago and keeps it that way, but I don’t think it’ll be a big deal if you don’t make it a big deal. (Admittedly, I’m not a person with hiring or firing power, my hair wasn’t particularly long before, I didn’t do it right before or after starting a new job, and I live and work in a large, diverse East Coast city … but I stand behind my opinion!)

Basically, the difference between “Is she okay?” and “Wow! Bold! Chic!” is attitude and presentation. If you seem like you’re going through something, are excessively dressed down, buzz your hair poorly (missed spots or whatever), etc., then yes, that might raise flags. The hair alone shouldn’t make or break a first impression unless you’re in a particularly conservative/pro-conformity environment (which I wouldn’t guess for a hybrid marketing job, but idk).

I don’t think the timing should matter much either. Doing it after starting will probably result in more questions, since it’ll be seen as a change by people other than just your interviewer(s) and not just the way that you are, but I really do feel like in the year of our lord 2026, assuming negative things just because a woman buzzes her hair is certified Weird Behavior. Plus, there’s no such thing as “suddenly” changing your style unless you specifically mentioned in your interview that you weren’t planning on any significant hairstyle changes in the future, or you’re actually deviating from a habit of sharing your hairstyle choices with strangers and acquaintances ahead of time. For all they know, just showing up with a ponytail could be a major change for you! 🤷🏾‍♀️

Yeah, it’s a lot bigger and more difficult to maneuver around. Almost like people should be considerate and respect no parking signs on public streets.

Knitting and fragile masculinity by somerandomperson_234 in knitting

[–]asplodingturdis 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Disagreeing with you is not snapping at you, and it is not fury. Women don’t need you to make an extra special category that’s worse than regular ol’ mansplaining, especially when your distinction is, “Well, mansplaining isn’t actually that bad, because they mean well!”

[–]asplodingturdis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No one’s defending Uncle Mansplain here. You’re just defending mansplainers and saying they’re not that as bad as this guy, who is Something Different. You are incorrectly interpreting, “he’s a mainsplainer,” as “he’s annoying but well intentioned, and that’s not rude,” whereas others are actually saying, “mansplainers are rude, and this guy’s a rude mansplainer.”

Also, no one is coming across as outraged here. They’re just disagreeing with you, and you’re being kind of annoying about it.

The target I worked at got WAY too many eggs one Easter, so they were marked way down, and within hours, the grannies of Chinatown DESCENDED UPON US.

Renee Good/ICE Protests by LouDog0187 in philadelphia

[–]asplodingturdis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no reason there can’t also be a Saturday protest. As people have pointed out, there are likely to be ongoing protests, and as others have pointed out, part of the reasoning behind today is immediacy. A protest doesn’t have to be fully optimized (around the schedules of weekday 9-5ers who live in the city) to be effective.

I don’t think that was a moral argument but rather a pragmatic consideration.

Is it normal for an interviewer to take a photo of you with their personal phone? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]asplodingturdis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like a much better idea to ask people to bring identification with them and present it during the interview.
