-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
In high school I had a really shitty week where all of my pets died, my adoptive father almost died, and our house burnt down
My AP bio teacher tried "comforting" me by saying "I'm buying a house right now so I know what you're going through" it was so tone deaf I couldn't even say anything
She also very unfortunately experienced 2 miscarriages that year and I get why she didn't want to share that with me but like why compare being homeless and grieving to...buying a house????
She really thought the main problem with your house burning down was having to deal with a realtor lol
Not anywhere on the same level, but after I proposed to my wife, I told some people at work and all the divorced shitheads (there were a lot) were all like "haw haw haw good luck"
And were they right? Or were they just a bunch of losers too emotionally immature to maintain a marriage? I’m guessing the latter. Fucking men.
One is divorced and has a few DV charges, the other I later found out was a horrible, racist sex pest. There were 5 people on the sex offender registry all working at the same time at one point while I was there. There were only like 20 people in the building at any given time.
I know "good luck" usually is said in jest, but I'm having incredible luck being married to her. Best decision I, or we ever made
Mind telling what line of work is so full of sex pests? My first thought was "cop" tbh, but then these people wouldn't be on any list.
Commercial bakery. There's a distinct lack of people trained in that field. The ones that do get trained go on to work at little pastry shops and nice kitchens. Those of us that just crank out loaves are usually a motley crew
Wouldn't have expected that at all.
It's similar to a kitchen atmosphere in my experience. The ones that have a storefront like the one I run now have to keep a lid on the kinds of music and discussions we have in case a customer comes in. That helps cut down on the weirdos. Also, I reluctantly found myself to be the most knowledgeable and senior employee, so I guess I'm in charge now? The upside is I get to curate the vibe, and vet the people that apply.
I've had a fair few people in their early twenties come through and I have to say, they seem pretty radicalized. The kids are alright
It's a personal rule for me that I never say "I know what you're going through" because no one has ever said that to me and been right. Sometimes I'll say "I had a similar experience, it made me feel this way, and this brought me comfort. Maybe it will comfort you. If it doesn't, let me know if there is anything else I can do."
