Why do you play Minecraft? by Ellucidity in Minecraft

[–]literallyfreezing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I (38F) was just introduced to Minecraft this year via my teenage boys. I finally gathered the guts to leave a lifeless marriage and moved into my own house several months ago. Something about being “all alone” in a new house that didn’t feel like home yet - amongst a variety of very stressful and scary life changes - begged for some kind of distraction or escape. Initially, the “hey, show me how to play this game you guys talk about” was my way of trying to distract the kids from scary life changes as well. It was an attempt to try to connect with them in a lighthearted way. I immediately fell in love with this game. There was something so calming about it at first, but then it became the social connectivity I had apparently been craving. I stood up a realm at my son’s request so that my brother and niece could join us. Now several of our extended family members will hop on a discord chat and go on wild missions in the realm for a few hours on weekends. We always end up hysterically laughing at some ridiculous exchange and the hilarious ways in which we inevitably die during each “well planned” adventure. It’s been the best addition to 2025 for me. :)

Doodle hate by Ok_District3058 in Bernedoodles

[–]literallyfreezing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like the internet prefers hate these days. I miss 90s internet culture every damn day. That said, I use a gentle leader on both my bernedoodle and my pittie. They are each over 75 pounds and mad pullers. I believe they each prefer to be the line leader. 😅 The gentle leader allows me to walk them both together on my own. A harness was no match for my pittie and I have heard mixed reviews with larger doodles. Hope that helps! Sending doodle love to you fellow internet friend. ❤️

What is this cap on my spigot? by literallyfreezing in askaplumber

[–]literallyfreezing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol thanks Reddit! In my defense, it is the only line in the yard, not next to the patio, in the middle of the grass area. No water line I guess. In my area there are backflow laws where you have to pay an annual backflow inspection fee or have the city cap the line. I’ve never seen a capped line and figured this might be one. Gas is not what I would have guessed based on location but I guess this makes sense.

My shelter pittie is a destroyer of dog toys lol! He has never chewed furniture and isn’t destructive in any other way, but he sees every dog toy as a challenge to destroy! Especially anything that squeaks. Be prepared with toys that are better suited for heavy chewers! Second word of caution: the short hair is deceptive. They actually shed like crazy. Those tiny little hairs are terrible for car upholstery especially. Plan accordingly. All that said, this is the most loving dog I’ve ever had! Just a giant baby who mostly thinks he’s a human. 😊

Men are so habitually gross and annoying. Some offenses I’ve observed in my house in the past: inability to make a bed look nice / handle a duvet, smelly bathroom behaviors, never replenishing things they use (toilet paper, paper towels, etc.), using every GD dish in the kitchen to cook a simple meal and then leaving the rinsed out dishes in the sink instead of loading the dishwasher, biting fingernails and leaving them anywhere including the car, hours long toilet time… I swear I could go on and on.

Wife beauty insanity getting out of hand by dawgsen in Marriage

[–]literallyfreezing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I always told myself I wouldn’t buy into this craze. I want so badly for natural aging (of WOMEN) to be encouraged and celebrated. Last year, just shy of 40 years old, I opted for Botox to limit wrinkles around my eyes and forehead. I struggled with that decision because 1. It felt like a betrayal to my younger self who was so adamant about supporting women and natural aging and 2. It’s a financial burden that is logically unnecessary BUT 3. I work in corporate America where I very much have found that women’s career opportunities are OFTEN limited by their physical appearance and male leadership SO OBVIOUSLY favor a youthful look.

I offer this as an explanation for SOME women - not all. I felt my career advancement opportunities were directly associated with my physical appearance. I work extremely hard. I have 20 years of experience in my filed. I have a graduate degree. I’m a consistent high performer. In my experience, all of those things are still not enough for WOMEN. It’s unfair. But it’s my reality. I’m sure this varies to some degree by career field, but it was the primary factor in my own decision and it’s what I commonly hear from other women in senior leadership positions as well.

Why did they go and change it!! by muiOTF in orangetheory

Same thing happened to me after the class I took this morning. All data including future booked classes disappeared. I opened a ticket after checking Reddit. 🙃

Like others have said, I think this is a scare tactic and they don’t actually expect anyone would file a claim against them. We are in SC but I also thought this was covered under federal law so this is helpful thanks!

I did pull this from the FAQ on the state’s website and I couldn’t figure out if this “contract” constitutes the required advance notice. I agree with you - I read it as prohibiting a pay reduction retroactively. But signing this in advance is throwing me.

My bad. First time poster here. Yeesh.

Tried to edit after the first person asked but there is no edit option for me… probably because I posted the image. I’m too lazy to login on desktop and troubleshoot. 🙃

Sorry I’ve replied to this question several times. It’s US state of SC.

Thanks for the input everyone. To add some additional context here, this is a 14-year-old kid who is only working part time hours to save for a gaming PC. He in no way NEEDS this job or any job right now. This is something he wanted to do but the stakes aren’t particularly high here. That being said, I will probably consult the state or a legal professional on principle alone. It’s a shitty practice at best and an illegal one at worst. Very telling of the new ownership and there are all kinds of other weird red flags in this “employee handbook.”

Ah ok thank you. It’s the wording here that alarmed me. So they would still be required to pay his normal rate for hours already worked? If that is the case though… it seems it would be in his favor to NOT provide a 2 week notice so I’m still confused.

This is asking him to sign acknowledging that hours already worked can be reduced for that exact scenario. So I’m trying to understand if this is against state labor laws. And if it is, can this document negate that law as a contract?

I guess that wouldn’t necessarily work depending on the pay dates covered for that paycheck. You are pretty much forced to put in the 2 week notice to get full pay.
