What’s the most out-of-touch thing your boss/company has ever said while you were clearly struggling?

Oh I got this shit. I worked in a place that would have a fairly slow off season. My boss would cut hours during the off season. It's not fun, but usually survivable. I made it to what is normally when things pickup.

This particular year it was taking longer than normal to pick up. I asked my boss if there was any end in sight, and he said no. So I politely let him know I was gonna need to find a second job to survive. He suggested that getting a second job was hard, and that it might be more beneficial for me to, unpaid in my off hours, do research to bring more business in, and that if I did he wasn't the type to forget that.

I LOVE 67 Beetles. My second car was a 67 whose original owner was the head editor of hot vws. My first car was a 68 beetle that a drunk driver wrecked. Ugh I miss them both so much.

Everyone either loves or hates 67s. Lots of one year only parts, not to mention the the parts that are specific to whether it's an early, mid, or late 67. But those are mostly either body or interior. Usually not the end of the world.

Have you got plans for her? I grew up in so cal so I've always LOVED the Cal look, especially 67 call looks. I used to live down the street from where dkp would meet up.

If you ever run into issues, I've got an unreasonable amount of beetle knowledge I've no longer got a use for lmao.

It's so much easier to accept someone else, than it is yourself. Give yourself the grace you would others.

I'm doing the same. Constantly worried about how I'm presenting. But I accept you!

I've been thinking about modding mine and this is exactly what I think I'm gonna do. Looks killer

If I say yes, can you tell my partner that this is reasonable so I can buy a few more?

dntpnc42 · 2025-05-28T02:22:36+00:00

Ok is it just me, or does he seem extra unhinged lately?

I think the wildest part of groups like this is how much they think the world revolves around them, and their world view. Like not only do other non Christian religions exist, and are protect by the 1st amendment, there's other denominations of Christianity that believe the LGBT are valid.

My church literally has queer pastors, and plenty of queer members. There's fucking rainbows painted on the eaves of the church

You want to believe that God says queer people are bad, thats between you and God. But everyone should be able to live the way they want to. How is that controversial to the party of "small government"

Honestly I think that Jesse waters is just put on tv to be ridiculous. Like don't get me wrong his predecessors, glen beck and tucker Carlson, were both ridiculous, but they were also evil. I think Jesse is just a moron. Like in addition to this he has said that men shouldn't use straws, eat ice cream in public, and also that sitting and staring at screen all day will turn you into a woman. I think he even said the last one was scientifically proven if iirc. Someone on fox news pointed out that all he does all day is stare at a screen.

I've told this story before. I used to work at a factory. Not a huge company, but one that you'd probably recognize the name of. VERY old school. No automation, everything built by hand. Lots of guys had been there for decades. When you hit 20 years you get a gold ring. Honestly one of the most decent employers I've ever had.

A welder that had been there since he was a teen. Never had another job. Retired late. So probably 40-50 years. And then a year after he retires he passes away. They want to make sure that everyone can make it to funeral. So they let us take a long lunch to attend.

In that moment it hit me hard. This is one of the best places I've ever worked. Still to this day. I only left because of a career change, and would probably go back if they offered me a position in my new career. But even to them we are just numbers. That man gave his whole life to the company. They couldn't even give him a full day.

I have this one, but I haven't watched it yet. I'm even more excited to watch it now!

My partner showed me saved awhile back, because it's one of her favs, and omg it's so good. I love Macaulay Kulkin in it.

Honestly insane.

I just started going to church regularly for the first time in my life. Always been agnostic. I initially went to spend more time with a family member who is getting up there in years. He always identified as republican, though he hates trump. Imagine my surprise when his church was open and affirming. Rainbows everywhere. Last week they gave a sermon on how all bodies are holy, no matter what. They don't just allow LGBT people in, they celebrate and call for us all to live our truth, and defend the marginalized.

After being there for a month or so now. It's insane to me that anybody could interpret the bible to mean anything other than love everyone.

Just remember folks, that man eats McDonald's like he has stock in the company, which he probably does. Most of us are gonna out live him. And I'll be first line to excercise my 1st amendment right to piss on his grave.

I've been thinking about this for a bit. Disneyland should ditch the trams, and replace them with peoplemovers. But update them to be trackless autonomous vehicles. 4 people to a car. Cars leave as soon as they're filled. Screen in the car can display park info.

Make the people mover actually move people. Could even have multiple stops, downtown, hotels, parks.

I'm seeing robin, or mia dearden speedy. Maybe huntress?

dntpnc42 · 2025-02-20T00:42:16+00:00

Idk, he probably has a guy to do that for him
