Disabling call waiting so you can use dial-up. 5 1/4" floppy disks with Number Munchers and other Apple iie games in a lovely shades of green. All metal playgrounds. Rotary phones. TVs with knobs instead of buttons. Yep, I'm old enough for the club 🧓

That's what happens when you don't pay for it!

I cannot find the words....rage isn't even a start. I mean....just.........my son is FTM transgender. I would move heaven and earth to make sure he is able to transition at his own pace and has the support necessary. This just....the things I wanna do can't even be described in minecraft...

Take my already present well-masked neurodivergence, add in a sprinkle of major depressive disorder and a dab of PTSD from an abusive childhood. Mix in a few rounds on the Covid-mobile as a retail worker who already has chronic pain but can't get diagnosed because I just need to lose weight and I'll be fine.

Meanwhile, I hear about long-Covid insomnia, brain fog, fatigue, and all the other stuff that was already wrong with me but got worse during the pandemic. Considering my already long laundry list of issues, there's no way I could ever prove that the rona made things worse.

Deitie$ know that I can work. I don't Want to go on disability. But at the same time there are just some days when it all just Hurts...when the brain Just Doesn't Work. Since I'm "fine" 65%-70% of the time, no one believes how shit I feel the other 30%. Can we like somehow normalize "Nope today sucks, I won't be at work" as a legitimate reason to call off?

Have these people never seen Hook?

If you can cough find it online, the 2012 arena tour version is so much win. Tim Minchin is best Judas ever https://youtu.be/5lTwmK__TDo

Eta it also has a former Spice Girl as Mary Magdaline https://youtu.be/lw5HdK8_p6w

Fast food actually isn't that bad. I honestly think most retail/service jobs would be a lot more palatable under communism because there wouldn't be the constant push to cut labor costs. If McDonalds actually had all the employees it should rather than making one person do three people's jobs, it would be both easier for the workers and better for service overall. I could handle that.

Enjoy your break comrade!

I think I built that in Minecraft once...

That would be about 75% of the fanfiction on AO3. Dark Harry is a tag for a reason, as is Tomarry and Drarry.

• Managers may not say anything that may be considered a threat or a promise in response to engaging or not engaging in union activity.

• Managers cannot ask or interrogate team members about union activities or question team members about who is supporting the union or why people want a union.

• Managers may not spy on team members who may be engaging in union activities but can observe their conduct in working areas.

But I'm also supposed to report any sign of union activity to my manager and a special email address set up by the company. :thinking-about-it:

Oh, and since my company loves acronyms, the above is listed as "TIPS". Can't Threaten Interrogate Promise or Spy

Anyone have some brain bleach now that I'm done "acknowledging" that I have read this bullshit?

"Unions will promise more money, better benefits, less discipline and improved workloads. However, all a union gets is the right to ask ********* for those things in negotiations.

Team members may get more, but they may get less or the same that they already have and be stuck paying dues." 🤮

As much chronic pain and other bullshit as I have, I'm not sure I would want invincibility because id end up wasting it. Invincible doesn't imply strong/fit/able bodied. However, I'm also not sure what questions I would ask. Probably something along the lines of @thequestion 's idea

I'm too damn old to fight but ill be happy to trade some lovely crocheted goods for some water

:che-poggers:

:cringe:

I work retail and its That Time of year....sounds legit.

I have no advice,but want you to know that I'm sitting in support and solidarity with ypu, comrade. I hope you are as well as possible and offer virtue cuddles if you want them. :comfy:

So anyone know if its possible to cause sink holes like this?

I still support the teams I grew up with in a different city/state than where I am now. I hate the fans of the local teams in general. Also, I'm not really hugely into sports anyway so it's mostly nostalgia rather than any true fan wanking.
