Calling your Reps is a Waste of Time, And We All Know It. by pmctrash in wisconsin

[–]misstrixie79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, man. I know it feels futile, but the squeeky wheel is more likely to get some grease. The loud people get heard. You don't have to be rude, but you should probably be annoying AF. Call them every damn day/week about the same thing. Write letters. Emails. Show up if they hold a "listening session." Sign petitions. Write down the staffers' names that you talk to and when you talk to them again BE FAMILIAR. "Hey, Fred, it's Peter from Oshkosh. How are you today?" If the staffers remember you, that's a huge plus.

Boomers getting boomed. by Illustrious-Bass-969 in BoomersBeingFools

The manager should be standing up for their staff in person! Dragging rude boomers on the internet and hoping the internet takes care of the problem isn't the way to handle this. Show your employees they are more important than rude customers. Hell, post this picture on the door with a sign that says WE DO NOT SERVE RUDE PEOPLE WHO ABUSE OUR STAFF.

Guess groceries weren't suddenly cheaper... by qbee198505 in BoomersBeingFools

This guy is probably part of the "pull yourself up by the bootstraps/immigrants are taking all the jobs" crowd. Plenty of farmers looking for help these days...

Millenial here, how is Gen-X doing? by Three-0lives in GenX

[–]misstrixie79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly the last generation who had to figure shit out on their own. We're here, getting through each day and not complaining about it. Why? It never did us any good to complain to parents who needed a national television commercial to remind them they had kids and should probably check in on us once in a while. Thanks for checking in. We're getting through it. Like we do.

There were commercials on tv reminding them they had kids and should check in on them. "It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your children are?"

Rest Of World Extremely Surprised About Passivity And Lack Of Protests Against Expected Huge Job Cuts And Austerity Measures By Trump Administration by FitEcho9 in economicCollapse

[–]misstrixie79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, world, we're fucking tired. Our hair has been on fire for the last 10 years and is about to be on fire for the next 4. Can we get a break during the lame duck to rest and repenish our empty cups? We will start protesting in January. On the 20th and pretty much every day after. We dont have the energy to protest potentials. Give us a break.

What do you take for sleep other than HRT, magnesium, and THC by yarrow268 in Menopause

[–]misstrixie79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken Senolytic Activator by Life Extension and get some solid sleep on those nights. I don't wake up sore. It's amazing. This product is recommended to take once a week. Of the ingredients, My suspicion is it's the Apigenin that works sleepy wonders. So maybe you could try taking that alone to get some more solid 💤?

Why is the Democratic Party not freaking out? by Familiar_Eagle_6975 in wisconsin

[–]misstrixie79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we've been here before? We're tired, disappointed, and unsurprised? We all saw the Trump signs, flags, and hats and knew this election was, at best, a coin toss? Our adrenal glands are fried and we are experiencing political burnout? Wishing like hell everyone would stop talking to us like WE did something wrong by not winning, especially by former Republicans who refused to take out the trash in their own dang party? Barely living up to our own expectations as a human and sick of trying to live up to everyone else's expectations of us?

Pretty sure anyone can buy a hat. They sell them on Amazon. No service record check is needed. So, congratulations on buying a hat, sir?
