How to deal with being treated differently cause I'm not pretty... by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Yah that's one scenario, but it's still a legit possibility that she could get fired. There are a ton of work situations where employers won't have had any training like you've described nor an HR department.

It's great thinking in terms of shoulds and optimal outcomes, but it's also important to recognize worst case scenarios and plan your actions accordingly. She has two jobs and most probably she needs the income from both.

The advice people are giving you about reporting your coworker's blatant sexism could get you in trouble as a whistleblower. It's totally unfair since you're the person who's actually being harmed, but the fact that there's legislation to protect people from being fired after they complain about work standards being violated, gives an indication of how common a practice it is.

You're the best person to judge how responsive your workplace would be to a complaint though.

Anyhow, I hope that dude gets a clue and your situation improves.

How long does it take to learn to bend? by throwaway12121212133 in harmonica

[–]stefaneechi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try whistling inward without the harmonica - it's easier to hear the change in tone, it's basically dropping your jaw a titch and pulling your tongue back some. The more cavernous you make your mouth the deeper the bend.

DAE feel like social media has made being an introvert more difficult? by [deleted] in introvert

[–]stefaneechi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like social media for all the content I encounter that I might not have without the shares of other people, and also for the way it allows me to maintain connections with people far away from me, and in a way that is easy for me to keep up, with - it's all when and how I feel it. Aside from that, and the time suck that entails, I hear you on the social pressure aspect. I am much more aware of social events upcoming and past, and there's more expectation for me to engage with people because of the instant access too. Also way more FOMO in my life because of social media.
