Hot take for employers: ur employees should have more info than the customers regarding things.

Employers don't tell us SHIT anymore.

U can't just fcking send out huge discount deals to members of our rewards program all on the same day and not tell us ahead of time so we can prep extra of the relevant items and deals.

We should NOT be finding out FROM THE CUSTOMERS holding up their phone for us to scan in front of a giant unexpected line of customers all wanting the same deal they were offered because WE WERENT TOLD AHEAD OF TIME.

Ffs.

i think that unless you have experienced life while being actually dead broke or near it at least once, its hard to really grasp at how, in many places but in america in particular, ‘having money’ is the access card that allows you to participate, materially, in being fully human. even in non-crisis situations, situations where a paycheck is on the way, you have enough of some kind of food to make it, and you aren’t in any danger of losing shelter, even if you hardly spend any money when you do have it, the state of being completely without money is a state of  being hyperaware, constantly, of how much smaller your world is all of a sudden and how many basic aspects of mobility and enrichment are off limits to you. its profoundly psychologically agitating to self worth and well-being even sans the trauma of worse states of deprivation, and i don’t think a lot of people who have lived comfortably without this experience understand that there’s a critical difference between ‘having less money’ and ‘having no money’ when talking about related issues.

Every summer I remember that society would rather we (fat people) have a heat stroke or die than see us wearing shorts.

So this is your reminder to WEAR THAT DAMN CROP TOP AND SHORT SHORTS !!! No more wearing jeans during a heat wave. Stop making yourself uncomfortable to make others “comfortable”. You should not overheat for some bigots.

…I find myself a member of a community presently under attack by accusations of “grooming” and predation. It’s made me particularly sensitive to insinuations from any political stripe that the gays are sex monsters trolling for their next victim, or that we’re all just victims in waiting, idling around until one of those nasty older gays creeps up and takes advantage of our vulnerabilities.

I’m not saying that’s what you’re doing here, but again, what two consenting adults (ADULTS) do is not my business. I can make my own judgments, but I don’t have to give my rubber stamp of approval on it. I don’t have to formally condone or condemn it. If harm hasn’t been explicitly stated, then I won’t read harm into it just because I’m uncomfortable. I am not entitled to a perpetual state of comfort.

I hope you find erotica that speaks to you better!

my brothers share special interests and my favorite thing to do is walk in a room and be like “hey guys can you tell me about the mariana trench” and then sit there for an hour while they both infodump to me about the ocean it’s extremely entertaining

and my parents are always like “oh my god why would you do that” bitch. I want to learn about the ocean and these two thirteen year old boys r my most trusted source

I mean, I could google questions I have about medieval weaponry and horsemanship, but on the other hand I could message my sister the simple statement “have question about historical saddles” and get both a phone call and a comprehensive 3 page google document within an hour

Seriously, if you know someone who has a special interest you’d like info about, go ask them! It costs zero money, you make them happy, and you learn way more than a basic google search would tell you.

I have learned that asking my friends questions about things they know and like is not in fact me being a bother it is A Friendship Act (I will especially ask @beyondthisdarkhouse and @findingfeather things) - I’m still working on it but I’m realising it is.

pikechris:

now that discovery is fully settled in the future, some things I’d like to see:

  • is the dax symbiont still alive? who’s their host now?
  • where the ferengi are at. were they in the federation at some point, are they still capitalists or did they move on like the humans, how did their fashion change??
  • what about bajor and cardassia? same questions, honestly. and are they proper friends now, in the federation, or did they join their own alliance like the orions and andorians except they’re nice, or…? because that important federation representative from the trailer seemed part-cardassian. hmm
  • klingons, tellarites, bolians, gorn, all these other species, what about them?
  • did the federation reach all the way to the delta quadrant? what do things look like over there, for example with the kazon sects or the borg?
  • did people ever develop a faster way of travelling long distances between quadrants other than wormholes? stuff like that
  • gamma quadrant! is the ds9 wormhole still there? what about the station, what does it look like now if it’s still there? and did the dominion ever join with the federation too, or did they remain enemies? or a separate state that’s mostly an ally though? did they ever find a cure for ketracel-white addiction and gave the jem'hadar free will? how did the founders and their attitude towards solids change with odo’s presence there? odo, is he still alive?
  • similarly, what about sisko, still among the prophets? did the pah wraiths ever get out again? and the q continuum, did they evolve as well? and picard’s q, is he still around? because he could be. he and all the other immortal/non-linear entities could literally show up on the show even in the 32nd century
  • androids and synths, is that planet of theirs still there? are they recognised as life forms again, did picard ever accomplish that? are data’s children still around, or great-great-great-grandchildren?
  • we know spock’s legacy still lives on. how about the others? janeway, picard, the ds9 crew?
  • the discovery crew should also look up their own century and their friends and families and see where they went. tilly should find out her friend jim from the academy became a legend. michael should find out more about spock besides being an ambassador for reunification of vulcans and romulans. and so on
