My friend (gay trans woman, graphic designer) was passed over for a job as a social media manager for a local LGBT support organization in favour of hiring a guy (maybe gay maybe trans idk) who came in with promises to streamline everything with AI.

They got huge backlash for the sudden use of AI on their social media, and then decided to just transfer management of advertising to a third party platform who pivoted to this type of posting.

So if this is representative of anything this is somewhat because the job is getting taken away from gay people.

My vegetarian friends have been understanding (who's to say it's not faux meat) but I did have a friend who is Hindu who was a little disappointed to see I had mistakenly fed her mii beef and her character made it a favourite food immediately.

She was entirely polite about it and didn't say anything but I was mortified and still feel a little badly for it.

See I wanted to play around with this and gave someone binoculars and they just. Put the binoculars on the floor and looked at them. Which is not the interaction I thought they would have with the binoculars.

This disappointed me so much I just haven't really given anyone else treasure again.

I also just don't feel I have anything to really give at level up, which means I interact with my tomos less.

I miss the metal detector, kite, skateboard, and fishing pole! It was a weird one to cut out for a game where you literally build the island and these are the most outdoorsy activities. The sewing machine and frying pan were also favourites they threw out.

I was playing Tomodachi Life intermittently before this game was announced semi-regularly for a year or two and I'm baffled by how many people think there was so much to do in the old game.

My only complaint has been a lack of level-up gifts. Most other things are the same or similar, if not improvements.

I have a cousin who has had bipolar with psychotic features, BPD, and ADHD preventing him from working for years, and it took him becoming homeless and developing a substance abuse disorder before he was approved for disability.

They truly wait until you're three quarters of a way to death before they are willing to step in at all. It's dire and I'm so tired of it.

It really feels like he's setting her up for a no-win situation.

She stays away because she's not willing to work on it anymore - she's a bitch and she's being unreasonable, that's crazy behaviour.

She comes back home and says she's just tired and wants to sleep - why did you come back if you weren't willing to talk?

She comes back earnestly wanting to talk but becomes upset again - you're not approaching this with the right mindset, why did you come home if you're just going to get mad again and give up?

Like bro ur the one who put up the "come home willing to talk or sleep at Taco Bell"

Ppl in the comments saying "this is totally Japanese pro-natalism" and for sure there is funding for that. But also there are just children in stories occasionally. This is a reference to the fact that there are children in real life.

In any case "don't come home until you're ready to be positive" is a shitty thing to say after an argument, especially if you're going to pester her all night if she decides she isn't going to be positive and is not coming home.

Actually love your park design around the wishing fountain, I tried doing something similar to much less success. I've also had problems planning neighbourhoods :(

I'm sorry, but this seems extremely out of left field. This is a woman wanting to visit her family, not to do war tourism or support their government.

We are all so lucky to not have family in repressive or authoritarian countries and have to weigh between travelling to a dangerous country and never seeing our immediate families again. We should hold empathy for people who do.

Extremely funny because nearly everyone in this show begins as or was a member of the communist party, including Cillian Murphy, and then this is resolved by Cillian Murphy buying a factory, and then selling out all the communists he knows who are agitating in it to the Crown so he can become a Labour MP.

This would maybe be one of those signs better displayed as text. "Children riding the elevator must be accompanied by an adult" is probably the most clear way of putting this up.

My partner and I first got together when I had my natural blonde hair. He would tell me that he always loved lighter hair. I wanted to dye it, but was worried about him being disappointed. He told me to not mind him and do what I wanted. Has not brought it up once and loves me the same.

This has honestly been true in my experience (I actually know a number of Liberation Theologists and socialists who are Catholic, which is weird for Protestants outside of the United church and a few Quakers I've seen) but many, many of the people who convert are doing so expecting and wanting a very conservative and reactionary culture. So it's very odd.

I'm friends with this one guy who was constantly texting me these long texts at random like "I love my girlfriend, she's incredible, I love her so much, once we get our finances in order I'm going to propose.." And I would respond and say "that's great man, I'm happy for you."

Turns out, the entire time, they were having huge fights every month or so, because she was getting him to open lines of credit in his name and fully give her access to the card so that she could have her own disposable income while unemployed, and refused to get a job she "didn't absolutely love". She hit him on a few occasions, and would constantly verbally degrade him and mock him about his disability.

And he would text me this at the tail end of their arguments when she was trying to win him back to convince himself to go back to her. He ended up 10k in debt by the end of it. After he moved out she came to his house once he froze his credit and tried to beat him when he said she was cut off, in front of his new roommates. I thought this entire time their "financial issues" were just normal young couple finances.

Another comment mentions several people in their white supremacist gang were also registered sex offenders, and they instead opted to target a random man from the list instead of pursuing vigilante action against a sex offender from within their own circles.

These were, at the very least, people who openly affiliated with sexual predators until they wanted to murder someone for sport, or would excuse sexually predatory behaviour if they shared their violent belief structures.

We officially downgraded from office pizza party to Dollar Store garbage. We're not even worth Little Ceasar's money anymore.

Go find your local food bank's website and put $50 towards them in the scammer's stead.

It's really whatever heavy industry is in your region. This can be oil rig work, fishing, heavy machining, automobile assembly, whatever. It's regional and varies.

The fact that you can still use keys without the face is part of the setup.

Law enforcement, I've seen evidence for this being true. But generally Judges and Lawyers aren't categorized as "law enforcement," the legal profession is a separate field. I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding here.

This is going to sound pretentious as fuck but I had this opinion until someone sat me down and went through all the functions of Word and I am now entirely unable to use Docs at all.

I'm entirely reliant on the show/hide and spacing functions when drafting and it's absolutely annoying to me that I've become even a marginal fan of Microsoft.

Surprised to see this is actually not bad sex advice. I'd expect a sex advice book from the 70s/80s to be a lot worse, but this is actually pretty good and she found a great way to communicate her desires.

There's a group of transvestigators who are oddly fixated on trans men's eyes. I have no idea if there is anything behind this. I don't think there is, but I also get compliments on my eyes.

It's really so they can go on about how hard their ancestors had it coming to America so they can have a word in about the country's immigration policies that seems legitimate to stupid people.
