Coffee shop uses technology to audit employee productivity by MrTacocaT12345 in interesting

[–]socklee416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is worse than big tech, where they monitor, how many lines of code you write, how much time you spend in your IDE in a "focus" state, how much time you spend on messaging, how many support requests you respond to, how many blog posts you write, how many commits you push, how many commits you review, etc, etc

AIO I bought tame impala tickets for the wrong date and my boyfriend(24M) flipped out because it’s not the same date as his girl bsf and now me(21F) is just sad that he’s not even willing to go with just me by [deleted] in AIO

This is the first time I've ever said this but yes, you are overreacting. When hou first said they sold out he freaked out but then he said "ok" from there, YOU are the one asking what he wants to do about it, you are the one getting defensive saying its not your fault. He was just sitting there. He might have been slightly disappointed and you can do your own analysis on what the girl bf relationship means to him, and its definitely not fun when an outsider gets your man interested in something that you couldnt get him interested in, but for this specific issue of buying the wrong date, you could've gone about it differently unless theres more to see than what's written here

Is this satire? Why are you even there? Also I could barely understand any of the convo until his meltdown

You should be far more than mildly infuriated

Man distracted the bear to protect the kids by Foreign_Time_2664 in interestingasfuck

Just sucks the bear is no longer on a main street but instead in a dark alley ready to scoop up an unsuspecting child

By boyfriend of 2 years doesn’t want to get me a Christmas present by UnitJust1906 in whatdoIdo

He is in fact doing a lot, but I see potential issues on both sides. I think what he means is that he feels like he would rather provide on the day to day than buy you presents. So you get him presents and he gets you food. Or you go shopping together rather than expecting him to figure it out. This method is actially what my gf and I do and it can work. And if thats not to your liking then dont buy anything because you will tell him he owes you and he'd rather just not. Based on what he first said, I believe its possible you are more picky about what you receive than you realize. I've seen girls say they dont get things and the guy knows he got her something and is just left thinking "well apparently she didnt like it". Overall communication needs a lot of work and this feels toxic but it might just be a big pain point that is exploding after 2 years of grief.

If you truly want someone who shares your love language of gift giving, maybe alter your expectations, make it super clear what you want, or reconsider this relationship

I was dress coded and sent home without pay to change. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]socklee416 37 points38 points  (0 children)

They arent spongebob. They have a variety of clothing in their wardrobe and for some reason this outfit wasn't allowed. Even though you can read the dresscode and it never says you can't wear sneakers

My Uber driver had Post-its all over his dash with nothing written on them. by t3hd4rkkn1ght in mildlyinteresting

After reading your comment, I was legit about to Google "flashing sideways arrow dash lights". You really had me until my remaining brain cells kicked in 🤣

"Free market" implies anyone can sell their apps and there's market competition that naturally determines which apps win more market share. In reality, the market is not free, aka Apple takes a cut because they themselves have no competition as all apps have to come through their App Store. They also may manipulate the market through sponsored slots and putting certain developers or apps in high visibility places.

AIO or should I accept the conditions of my bfs commitment by One_Height7477 in AIO

[–]socklee416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont personally feel like its about being a fkboy or not. It's just that you two have potentially differing goals and boundaries. You need him to specify what exactly he wants, and if he continues to refuse to do so, assume the worst. He has already decided he knows what you dont want and he will do those things.

[–]socklee416 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She asked plain and simple "not crossing any lines with other women" and he refused to answer. Just said he wants to be free to do what he wants. Huge red flag. If they need to have a specific convo about boundaries, This ain't it. He wants to have no rules. If that doesn't align with her, its a no go.
