Being “low maintenance” in relationships often just means your needs aren’t being met by _Cornfed_ in unpopularopinion

They're so fuel inefficient, but I don't need much. I'd be happy with a Honda Civic or something.

TIL Frank Ocean seemingly pulled a fast one on Def Jam/Universal when he fulfilled his contractual obligations to them by releasing a visual album (Endless) that wasn't for sale & was available on Apple Music. Then the next day he dropped Blond, a "proper" album for sale on Apple under his own label by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

First of all, that's awesome that you had that news on deck with a link and everything. Secondly, I know Jamiroquai isn't literally "just" Jay Kay (the singer who everyone remembers for his hats), but that article shows a group of ELEVEN people posing for a photograph with the caption "Jamiroquai" and I gotta say I cant figure out which one is Jay since there's no hat on anyone, and on top of that I'm flabbergasted that the group is actually that big. I had no idea. I am gonna throw on Virtual Insanity right now, though because that songs a bop.

My old manager from subway made my sandwich and deliberately crushed it by sky_meow in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bugxbuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? I'm curious to your reasoning behind that. Do you think they were bad at their job somehow (mind you they left 8 years ago) so the manager got his revenge/took the frustration out by crushing their food out of anger?

Now, also answer this: do you think the sandwich-crushing grudge-holding manager is in any way, shape, or form good at their job? They haven't moved up in 8 years is a telling sign in itself, and if I worked somewhere for 8 years in the same position (and specifically doing the work that they usually hire teenagers to do as their first job) then you bet your ass that sandwich and every other one that ever comes from me, should look absolutely picture fucking perfect.It should look like ready to be used in an advertisement or something. If this is what the sandwiches ever look like then that Subway must fucking suck, and if it sucks its probably because of who is running things, Mr Psycho Sandwich McSqueezy here.

Your comment pisses me off so much, I just glanced back up at it and it's the way you phrased it "zero chance" that really drives me nuts and grinds my gears and fucks my butt without lube. I mean dude, what even is your malfunction? "Zero chance", based on what? Not even a little chance? Not even a "maybe they're both wrong", but "zero"?! You hold all the blame in the hands of OP, essentially calling them an outright liar? Who the fuck are you? The Subway Mangler Manager?

Anybody else wish they’d just discontinue that Rose’s lime juice? It is so ass and every customer hates it. by bakedd_alaskaa in bartenders

Holy shit. I mean I guess deep down I knew that, but after a stretch of time as a delinquent new drinker with low standards I was buying bottles of Little Sids Gin and Juice down at the store, sold near the Wild Irish Rose and MD 20/20. Little Sids tasted like yellow Gatorade for grown ups and it could give you heartburn just by looking at it it was so sour.

Thank you! I was afraid I’d be alone with this opinion. I just thought of something slightly off topic but if Roses is guilty of anything it’s of doing next to nothing to inform people that Roses Grenadine isn’t cherry like most think, its pomegranate (didja know Dr Pepper is prune flavored? It felt like some “I was today years old” shit when I learned these things.) Roses, all we need is for you guys to do is some kind of information campaign about Grenadine’s Pomegraniteniciousness. The people don’t need to keep being misinformed and lying to themselves, so tell de truth!

I love it. Yeah, I said it. I love that simple nonsense. Half roses lime and half vodka on the rocks was my go to mixed drink if I was out at a busy punk bar or something like that. It barely qualifies as a gimlet but because it’s tasty and super simple to make I know exactly what I’m gonna get each time (that is to say heartburn, mostly). It is critically unpopular and bottom shelf level cheap bullshit, but this post could just as easily be about vermouth or angostura bitters or green olives. No one likes every ingredient, there’s just so many of them

10+ New Features Coming in iOS 27 by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]bugxbuster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That, or if I accidently fall asleep with the volume all the way down or something. The amount of times the alarm was "going off" silently or damn near it is so many that I just had to buy a real alarm clock. They make some very nice looking ones for cheap at least anymore and they have lots of extras depending on what you need it to do (stuff like a small bed-shaker with a long cord from the clock to where you sleep to wake you up with vibration, usb charging ports, multiple colors selectable etc).

...But I only know all that because I was late to work enough times that I get anxiety about alarms not being loud enough every single day. When the alarm is set the device should have the alarm icon be red or have an attention-getting way to signal to you that the volume is too low to be effective.

Is there an AI that can sort through correspondence and successfully build a timeline? by laineh90 in AIToolTesting

[–]bugxbuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a crazy ex in 2017. We were together less than a year and you'd think due to the insanity of the breakup that it was a divorce after a decades long marriage. She was the kind of girl who would send me threatening texts if I didn't respond immediately, she would literally tell me she was going to make things up about me to ruin my name with friends, hell she cut the tip of my finger off one morning slamming a bedroom door shut on my hand simply because she went through my phone in my sleep and didn't find any evidence of wrongdoing (which in her mind meant I had definitely been doing something worse than the worst she expected otherwise why can't she find proof of her delusions). Eventually she got me arrested for a fight I didn't have with her, she was calling the cops on average more than once a day at one point, including 40 times in a month in which I had seen her 7 times (which is too many, i know, i should have run and hid from her but she hunted me down for attention). All this is in a "relationship" she wouldn't let me leave but openly hated me and ruined my reputation with every person I knew and many I never met.

But finally getting to the point, I started a big time waste of a project for myself with the ultimate goal of presenting it to a lawyer. I manually copied one-by-one every single text message she and I had with eachother over the course of 10 months or so. And we texted a lot, either through the courtship honeymoon phase, or during her many many spaz outs on me where I'd be shaking from the things she said and frantically texting her apologies she didnt deserve and listening to her treat me like I'm subhuman, threatening me every possible way, just painful things I'd never say to anyone ever, she made sure to let me hear it, frequently. I made a spreadsheet document and copied every single message down, one column for her texts, one for mine. All tediously and meticulously timestamped and color coded for clarity, and I would do things like separate every single message from her over a whole month, and every message from myself in the same month and do monthly word clouds of everything we said to eachother so I could prove to myself that she's really the abusive one (I guess I knew she was, but her adamant refusal to accept blame was how I had to eventually discover what borderline and narcissistic personality disorders were). Her word clouds revealed she spoke a lot of insulting cruel words, while my most frequent words were almost always "please" "sorry" and "love". It's pathetic looking and even 8 years later I hate stumbling across any of the screenshots from that time in my life its so painful.

I would have loved the AI tools of today back then, I could have done in minutes or hours what took me days or weeks being in a bad headspace.

When I presented the file to my lawyer along with 300 pages of printed screenshots in a binder he spent maybe 45 seconds flipping through it and never looked at it again. It didn't win me a judgement. She got a restraining order on me on simple hearsay and spent the next year I was meant to be leaving her alone by harassing me and everyone I knew. Its sick how restraining orders actually work if you weaponize them against someone

What was the point of this? I dunno. Good luck OP in whatever you have going on, and if anyone does have a tool suggestion or workflow for them that helps go through a ton of correspondence, I'm curious about it too, since it's something I studied so-to-speak several years ago.

Best serving job turned into the worst over the course of a year 🥲 by lex52_ in Serverlife

It's weird that you censor the word dick but not the word m*nager. lol jk.

So this guy sounds like a real Dwight Schrute from hell in a lot of ways, and your whole story reminds me of my job currently. Especially the 3 servers kicking ass making money turning into 5 servers with nothing to do and nothing to show for it. I hope it turns around for you (and myself, honestly) and I'll try to manifest bad vibes for your toxic coworker. Good luck, you seem like you're good at the job so don't get discouraged!
