I mean we all knew this was more or less going to happen, right?

Shit has happened to me before, can confirm he looks like the kinda guy that would.

Ah, you're being grifted by a big corp by getting shit wages and no benefits as a contractor too?

Me too, and I'm on 6 years. But I might get approved for full-time WFH soon, so I guess I got that going for me.

I have a love hate relationship with them.

I love that they go zoom, but I hate that my big ol' burger dumper never fits in the seat.

So we're getting this as an emote right?

Wait wait wait, is this the same woman that stood you up on a recent date and left you waiting for an hour at a restaurant by yourself?

Even if you confess to her, and she says yes, I feel like you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

They found a corpse in the car. I can't help but wonder if the driver meant to kill himself or was going to detonate the explosion from the driver's seat and then run away, only to find that the Cybertruck is too shit to let him out.

Cause like... yeah, causing an explosion which in best case scenario will make billionaires flinch for a day is fucking stupid in the first place, much less killing yourself while doing it. Apparently, 7 people got injured during this, and I'm sure some of them were just abused hotel employees.

They just like me fr

I guess I didn't get fired??? I'm just logging in as usual, and I haven't received any dire emails.

Ok. Good. Still have no idea why my badge didn't work, but worst case scenario if none of my coworkers can let me in again I'll just WFH New Years Eve. It's not my problem at that point.

I went to the furry con in Florida one year and at the parade several of them had Texas, American, and libertarian flags.

I got weird looks for calling them cringe. This was after cheering for some of the cuter suits and sick dance moves.

I can only dream of creepy libertarians and patriots being too weirded out to go to a furry con, but they're often the ones with the $10k suits.

Wow, you didn't add long eyelashes to the scrub mommy.

O-Only because the sponge would break if I did!

That's nice Biden, now if you're done I've still got paperwork to fill out for your new home in a few weeks.

A fellow indie game fan eh? I'll try to give you some recommendations that I haven't seen listed here yet:

• Little Goody Two Shoes & Pocket Mirror. The games will kick your ass, but the aesthetics and story are worth it. One is a prequel to the other.
• Griftlands Lovely aesthetics and addictive bite sized roguelike gameplay with multiple characters and stories to play through.
• The Forgotten City I just think timeloops are neat.
• Potionomics Shop keeping game where technically you aren't an evil capitalist because you're avoiding slavery I guess? Also there's DLC where you can fuck a shark.
• Lobotomy Corporation Only play this if you love pain.

My partner took me out to eat after work and that helped distract me.

But now it's the next day, and I'm still worried. The stress is making me cramp like it's my period. I think the most frustrating part of this is that I did get in contact with multiple people about this and all they said was "let me check my email..." and then they didn't follow up! I need a clear and concise "everything is fine", the lack of follow up is what's stressing me out now. I'm just going to keep working through the weekend, even though I was originally going to take it off. I guess next week will be my chill week, one way or another.

What, it's still cheaper than a funeral!

Now he's with those he loved the most: the treats aisle.

I'm also in my 30's and yeah.... even if you're super mature, have been in the workforce for years, have been financially independent for years and wowie wowzers we just have so much in common... anything below 21 would still make me feel like a creep even if it's legal.

Age gap relationships are fine, I'm in one right now, but there need to be hard personal limits set. Dating teenagers is an immediate no from me.

So I might have gotten a sneak peek at being let go from my job after over half a decade of service. Let me explain:

Basically, I WFHed most of the week and everything worked normally. I'd love to take the whole week off, but I don't get any paid days off. So I try to clock into the office today, (they told us we had to, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered), and my badge doesn't open up the gate. I call security since local admin is on holiday, and they tell me my badge is inactive. Suddenly, dozens of online horror stories pop into my head of people suddenly getting laid off with no warning. Their badges simply stop working, and their computers refuse to log in. I rush back home to test the work PC. It logs me in as normally as it did the day before. I contacted everyone I could about this and 2 hours later no one has a certain answer for me for better or for worse, because it's a holiday week.

So then I'm wondering what if someone in upper corporate decided to let me go because the previous week I got a little too sassy on a "private" teams chat, and no one else is going to be notified until Monday because it's easier to simply finish out the week on the timesheet? Maybe it's because I brought up wanting disability accommodations a couple of weeks ago, but had to hold off until next year to show them proof. Or maybe I'm just being anxious, and the office part of the building is currently undergoing repairs that none of us were notified of ahead of time because admin are real employees, which means they get to take paid time off. Maybe the gate is just old and sucks. Maybe the security misheard the info I gave them over the janky gate phone. Maybe I'm paranoid, or maybe I'm right, and I need to max out my hours this weekend even though I was going to relax, because I'll have plenty of time to relax when I'm unemployed and poverty is constantly looming over my head. Very cool and very normal system we have going on here.

Damn we get hospitalized for free over here?

Quick someone call me a liberal!

Bit idea where a middle-aged chud tries to cheat on his wife by going on dates with women 10+ years younger than him, however since there's such an age gap it's really easy for her to find his social media since he uses his full legal name as his username everywhere.

Just in case anyone needs a reminder, staying single and sexless >>> dating a chud and ultimately having to compromise with them on values. Yes, even if they're loaded, they'll use it against you every time they think they can get away with it as leverage.
