Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:
Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.
Looking to make someone laugh.
Self deprecation.
I fukcing hate these people so goddamn much… They’ve taken something meant to protect against discrimination and sold it as being discrimination…
If course it is… It’s always the poor poor white people that have the boot on their necks right? The poor poor oppressed white people… JFC
Every article has the potential to be the first one someone is seeing. I think your post has within it an assumption that the same people read all the articles over and over. Even if some large percentage of the people reading it have already read previous articles there is some value in knowing “this is still happening, wow” in regard to Tesla, or “so that’s the stage of the case against Luigi were at now, ok.”
In a way it’s like finding new trees in the same forest.
I crossed out the end because half way through writing I forgot you weren’t talking about new information lol
It wasn’t sex, but I was making out with a girl and the TV was on. One of the characters out of nowhere goes “no lightbulbs?! NO LIGHTBULBS!?” and I completely lost it, laughing right in her face practically in tears.
I appreciate the suggestion, but I’m single and live in a garage “apartment.” It wouldn’t be a good life for them.
My paternal family name. No one else carries my last name and I’m almost 40, been single for a decade now so kids are out of the question.
God knows how many generations of this name existed only to die out because I’m pathetic lol
“Coworker 4 - talking too much in general about any topic (they would just prefer I shut up tbh unless there is zero work)”
I am this person lol without knowing them at all I can say at least for this type of person I think the best thing to do is just be direct about work stuff, get to the point right away after the initial pleasantries of initiating the conversation. If they’re anything like me they might actually dislike conversation for similar reasons that you feel anxious. I just don’t have much to say other than strictly work related business and it stresses me out to be stuck in a “meaningless” conversation.
If coworker 1 really is “a bitch” then there isn’t all that much you can do, just treat her similar to coworker 4 and just accept that she might be judging you for stupid reasons. That’s more of a “her problem” than a you problem. As they say “you can’t make everyone like you.” but that doesn’t have to mean there’s anything “wrong” with you, some people just don’t mesh well.
Because they’re so small I think a bowl of tardios would be more like a liquid, probably not very viscous, and more than likely wouldn’t taste like anything. I think the “texture” of that would feel disgusting though
Use it as an excuse to strengthen your bond I guess. Just say something like “all I want is to do (XYZ thing you know you both like: dinner, movie, whatever.) with you, I don’t need anything more.” If that even is something you’d even want to do of course. Don’t force it if it isn’t what you want.
Just be honest with them, you could even possibly try to explain the anxiety you feel about it all and let them know you’re happy just being with them in whatever way.
Either that or pick a food you like lol for me I’d probably just say “get me a big ol’ bag of chocolate covered pretzels and I’ll be in heaven.” :P
Doesn’t have to be! Add some flavor! I was always partial to adding a bit of pineapple juice.
As another person suggested try to substitute with something similar.
It doesn’t have to be purely fizzy water, I used to mix seltzer with a little pineapple juice. Pick whatever you like and start there, you might eventually appreciate just the seltzer on its own and not need the juice.
Just try not to replace a ton of sugar with a ton of sugar, so even with the fruit juice 1/2 & 1/2 would be a start as opposed to 3/4 juice 1/4 seltzer, the opposite of that of course being best.
Fucking seriously… I wish there were aliens that could save us from ourselves, but it’s just oligarchs all the way down…
I’ve literally experienced the reason these things are needed, sorry friendo.
I’m a white guy so I get people talking as if I’m “one of them” and have had interviews where the guy literally said “it’s hard to find white guys for this work, I don’t want some Dominican walking in a store we’re servicing with our logo on.”
There have been studies that have been done using the exact same resume the only difference was the name. One was the typical “John Smith” and the other was a something like “Jamal Brown.” There was an overwhelming preference to choose John over Jamal. These things are needed because America is a stupidly racist country whether you want to believe it or not. All you need to do is look at the current administration for proof of that.
