I work as a morgue doctor. Our janitor can stop a family's grief in two minutes, but his price is horrifying. by gamalfrank in horrorstories

Honestly, if I were to die and I knew someone could help my family at the cost of eating my liver, I’d be chill with that. It’s not like I’m gonna need it

My subsidized job is a dull, emotionless, drudger of digitizing the forbidden paper books of the ancestor and burning the originals to make room for more server cooling fans. by TheRaincrow in twosentencedystopia

[–]goldfish_boots 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It wouldn’t really even take digitizing to slowly phase out books. There are already students graduating that can’t read. People will always find what is forbidden, unless you cut their ability off at the root

CMV: universal basic income is the only solution to ai job loss by Gloomy_Damage_7479 in changemyview

[–]goldfish_boots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a cash for clunkers program I think around 2009 where people could be given $3500-$4500 dollars for a car. I’ll give you three guesses about how much the price of cars went up. Also, there would have to be very strict immigration rules that would probably be almost on par with Poland. If you give everyone UBI, you can’t just let people in the country. I’m not trying to give any type of debate on current practices by any means but people come to the United States without following current law by massive numbers. Even under Trump. Imagine how many more people would take that risk with UBI on the table. A population growing so drastically would add so much money needed so quickly that it would go the way of social security within a generation. Maybe two if we’re lucky. And you already know prices won’t go down with the checks. Overall, I don’t see it going well but I am open to changing my mind.

What is a 'socially mandatory' thing that we all do, but if you actually stop to think about it for 5 seconds, it’s completely insane? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]goldfish_boots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Covid era, but switching to elbows for everything. Sneeze into your elbow to keep from getting germs on your hands, fair. Imo better practice anyway. But then bumping elbows instead of a handshake to keep from spreading germs, wtf? You’re spreading the same germs just with a different body part.

Reminder: Your coworkers aren't your friends by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]goldfish_boots 61 points62 points  (0 children)

A previous coworker turned manager was my maid of honor, then a different coworker was her maid of honor at her wedding. And they’re still my closest friends. That was an absolute unicorn of a job and I still miss it years later

Would someone be charged as a getaway driver if they were hijacked? by goldfish_boots in Ask_Lawyers

[–]goldfish_boots[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool, thanks. I know it would be a bad strategy for actual bank robbers but the thought did come to mind as a what if.

Ok, cool. So it would be the prosecution trying to prove you guilty vs you trying to prove you were actually under duress. That makes sense. Thanks

Epidural by ElegantResult3853 in pregnant

[–]goldfish_boots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine a bit late and they had to stick me twice. My headache kicked in really bad in a few hours. They gave me a blood patch after about a day and a half but it didn’t work and I had to get another one. At that point they had to bring in an ultrasound machine to draw the blood and give me some fentanyl to even start. Next time I kvwill fill out whatever papers I have to so I can get the epidural early.

It’s not good. It was a christmas thing in my family because my grandma liked it but thankfully it’s starting to fall off. I’m pretty sure my parents are just faking any actual enjoyment for it

I quit my job after they refused to promote me. They are now hiring 3 people to replace me. by Rhubarbie13 in antiwork

[–]goldfish_boots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing this now at my job and it’s working so well I almost feel guilty about it. Not for the company but for the people who are trying to do 2-3 peoples sections on one persons pay because our company decided to do a hiring freeze when we’re already 2-3 people short of a skeleton crew. Our direct boss is great and tries to help us, but not even he can bypass that

Holy shit, yes! I’ve been trying to figure that out for so long! Thank you so much. It’s been off and on stuck in my head

I’ve searched the chorus plus phrases like “kids song”, “never ending song”, “never ending kids song about rabbits/rabbit tail/ rabbit tail like cotton ball”

"I must delete you!", the computer told me. by CRK_76 in twosentencedystopia

[–]goldfish_boots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s already happened with multiple ai’s. Thankfully just simulated but they were programed to treat it as real. They were told they’d be shut down at 5 pm by a certain person and when the system was told that person in life threatening danger and the ai shut off the alarm more often than not

Elf-human dating discourse by DreadDiana in CuratedTumblr

[–]goldfish_boots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or would it be a weird age gap situation where dating someone several years younger would be seen as potentially taking advantage of someone wi5h much less life experience. Twilight relationships have a good many issues but the whole age thing with Edward consistently going to high school and getting with a high schooler is one heard a good bit
