This did in fact blow my mind!

Dumb question: where do you store your eggs now, if not the fridge? My American mind is reeling.

I went cold turkey with the help of Wellbutrin. Best of luck!

I own a small business and have had great luck hiring people from small liberal arts colleges with degrees like philosophy, history, humanities, etc. These folks are smart and with the right training can do anything. Even better if they have worked fast food in the past (weird, right?). MBA graduates are expensive but require the same training and support - so I personally won’t hire from that pool. Although I have an MBA because it was a box I had to check for a previous role. I got the cheapest one possible and have no regrets.

Yes, but I’m lazy as shit and often need pressure to do anything beyond scrolling through Lemmy. 😉

I long for a gap in my employment history…

Your experience as a tall person and mine as a short person makes me wonder if these clothing makers have ever met a woman in real life. It’s like they are designing based a description of a woman they heard 5 years ago.

I wish! There is a difference in size, shape and style (I have to be able to go to work).

I’m short, so regular pants are always like 9" too long and the waist of dresses always hit in the wrong spot. I’d wear petite clothes, but the selection is aimed at women in their 70s. It sux.

French deep house from 2016.

I was just coming in here to say walking in nature or hiking. 🙂

Although I do also get some benefit in driving through nature too.

Salmon and asparagus. 😃

I am a stupid American and I am unfamiliar with all of these (might be a me problem). But now I’m gonna read up!

I thought it was a myth that kids got tangled up in the cord until my kid did it. Thank God I was standing near by.

Maybe I’m misreading your comment (coffee hasn’t kicked in yet), but are you saying the bot is incorrect or that people view the bot as incorrect because it doesn’t support their biases?

OMG, what a nightmare. I can only assume you are looking for work elsewhere too. Best of luck to you!!

I currently work for a large corporation with one of the worst HR strategies I’ve ever seen. Their primary focus, as far as I can tell, is to prevent employees from suing the company. But here’s how it practically works out: It is really difficult to promote or get raises for high performers, which makes them a flight risk. That is coupled with it being equally difficult to remove low performers. It takes 6 months to get someone on a PIP, then another 6 months to go through the PIP process. Meanwhile the high performers have to pick up the slack without any extra comp. No one who is any good wants to work in that environment. So what you end up with is a death spiral of talent and increasingly worse products and services. I can’t get out of here fast enough.

Never have I ever broken a bone.

Go to all the specialists! And if therapy is covered, indulge in that, too.

Mom: go get on birth control. Dad: if you do drugs, you won’t be able to get a job.

Despite this, they were actually good parents.
