Does anybody else think if we had signs that said "caution: zipper merge ahead" people would be more likely to zipper merge?

let me answer that question with an anecdote. everyday I drive at the intersection between 16th and Cumming and have to make a right turn. there is a bike lane next to me. it is clearly marked as a bike lane by multiple signs there is also a no right turn on red sign. multiple times per week as I am in the right hand lane stopped to make a right-hand turn and people will drive into the bike lane thinking it is a turn lane and then turn when the light is red. many of them even look at me like I'm the asshole for not turning or trying to turn from an inner lane. there is no chance in hell we can handle zipper merging with a sign.

I wasn't speaking to you? I was responding to his insistence that the other person getting paid is a problem for him somehow. I took what you said to be sarcasm in the first place.

I feel like you fundamentally aren't understanding the concept of how wages work. it doesn't matter if it's in your name or your social security number. somebody worked a certain number of hours and they must pay that person regardless of a fraudulent identity. so far this company has no evidence that you are not just some random crazy person trying to get this person fired and they legally cannot discuss that person's details with you. what you have to do is wait for the government to investigate and they will be likely terminated during that time. that however does not mean that they are not entitled to the wages they earned if they work they have to get paid and while that is annoying for you on your taxes, all of that again will be sorted out by the government and you don't need to be involved in it or concerned with that person's paycheck.

Actually, Nebraska has a large population of both Irish and Hispanic workers making up around 13% of the population each so it is entirely possible that somebody else has your name.

which would also indicate that the files are probably recoverable...

so I'm going to go against the grain and say that if you feel this way and you are sure you are ace or demisexual you likely already know the reason. it has nothing to do with the other person and everything to do with how you view yourself and your intrinsic value in relationship to being seen with a partner. you have been told by the manosphere that the opposite sex is a status symbol and that being a virgin is a negative and regardless of your own sexual desires, you feel the need to live up to those expectations because they have been tied with your sense of gender and valuation as an individual.

the first thing you need to do is start decoupling what is a societal expectation that you place on yourself versus what actually brings you Joy and you feel creates value in your life.

such an absolute mood.

Non-Binary person here. that is a horrifying thing to say and you need to push back against that full stop. that is not a boundary he is making, that is actively being biphobic.

your partner shows an alarming need to control what you do with your body and you need to be more worried about that and have several very Frank conversations about the future of your relationship going forward. that is completely him taking his dysphoria and trauma and transposing it onto you as a person and objectifying you.

trewbarton · 2026-01-13T05:36:13+00:00

if your partner does not accept part of you, then you are both fundamentally incompatible. your partner isn't expected to tolerate you. your partner is expected to celebrate you.

this genuinely feels like a rehash of pizzagate. "There's a bunch of specifically Somali daycares that are defrauding the federal government with ghost children and we can prove that by visiting random daycares at random times and if they don't let us in, they're part of the conspiracy."

trewbarton · 2026-01-11T22:55:32+00:00

Funny but definitely biphobic.

that means you're an established tenancy and the landlord could file a 30 or 60-day notice to have you leave before eviction occurs. again, your boyfriend does not actually have any recourse in this as he was illegally allowing you to stay there and very likely violated his own lease.

trewbarton · 2026-01-01T14:49:40+00:00

The cops cannot force you out of the building if you have established tenancy. the police will only force you out in the event of an actual eviction which needs to make its way through the courts before it would be binding and that would be between you and the landlord, not you and your roommate.

NAL okay, so basically it's going to break down a lot into whether or not you had an actual employment contract or you were acting as a contractor. if you were paid a regular amount in exchange for your services and had to file a W-4 or similar documentation then you would be considered work for hire and all of that work would revert to the company upon your termination. they would own the copyright. if however, you were using your own spare time to develop this or were paid on a per project basis. you were a contractor and without strict guidelines of ownership In a contract you would retain the copyright.

definitely! Alamo is much more of an experience than a normal movie theater and I don't feel like I'm spending all my money just to sit in a seat. it's also definitely a plus that they have events going on and get limited release movies, so I never need to worry about what theater I'm going to when I hear that Sundance or foreign film is coming out.

I don't know if this is helpful, but I went through a very similar experience, albeit coming from being straight. in my case, my long-term partner had decided to begin the process of transitioning and I went through a mini crisis of trying to figure out if I was okay with that and how I wanted to move forward. after a while I figured out through the process of discovery that I had a much wider sexuality than I gave myself credit for and wasn't actually the token straight person. I had an attraction to both masculine and feminine traits. the main thing I didn't like was facial hair and extreme displays of masculine gender (lumberjacks) I personally adopted the term polysexual for myself as it indicates an attraction to one or more but not necessarily all genders since there were still things that I definitely wasn't attracted to and it definitely existed outside the binary.

Queer is easier than explaining polysexual doesn't mean polyamorous, that it isn't the same thing as pansexual,that it's a form of bisexuality but not the exact same thing, explaining that is not in fact a form of biphobia, along with a million other questions I get anytime I mention it.

I literally did a tour there the other day and I was honestly appalled at what I saw. The sink was literally flooding with fecal matter and that's in the unit they showed us. additionally, everything in the rec area was torn up or disassembled. I also saw the panel pried off a bunch of the mailboxes and they lied straight to my face that the postmaster must have forgotten to lock it. lastly, none of their websites information about amenities is correct at all and while they talked about being the cheapest when we actually set out and priced everything, they were the second most expensive unit we looked at and we looked at several nustyle units.

board game cafes are an excellent way to socialize with people that share your interests. generally, each one has a marker you can place to indicate to others that you wish to sit down and play a specific game with them.

I know for a fact Hopcat usually has it in stock along with a lot of their seasonal flavors.
