I’ve got one of these, just in different size and color.

I personally don’t believe emojis should exist in professional documents. I’m not a hiring manager, but if I saw an application with emojis, I would think it wasn’t taken seriously, and would probably not even give it a full read.

When there is text with emojis, it makes it hard to read for me. My brain stops to interpret what’s going on and it breaks my flow and concentration on the text.

This is my opinion entirely, and it looks like some others would accept emojis, but just know there are people like me out there, and others that are worse. I don’t think that emojis will elevate your chances of success, but are more likely to hurt them if anything. It depends on your risk tolerance and necessity to get a new job

No need to kink shame. Not every woman that participates in a good ol’ fashioned face fucking is having a bad time. Lots of women like being dominated just like a bunch of men. That’s not to say the porn industry doesn’t have issues with abuse, but a blanket shaming is dumb.

It sounds like your inferring a lot in this. Maybe she’s just kind and has a flirtatious personality. If she’s just being overly nice and you think she’s coming on to you, just don’t reciprocate and live your life until it comes to a head. None of the details you’ve provided are enough for anyone to know your situation well enough to know whether or not she’s into you. It’s very possible she likes your company, conversation, or just enjoys being around you. That’s just normal behaviour for someone that enjoys someone else.

If she’s makes physical advances or makes statements that are inappropriate, then you have something that you can respond to, politely, to defuse the situation and clear the air. Don’t lead her on and be flirty yourself. It’s possible you have an addictive personality that you’re unaware is affecting her.

DO NOT TALK TO HER FRIENDS ABOUT THIS! That is easily one of the dumbest things you can do. How do you think that would play out? I wouldn’t talk to a supervisor for a similar reason. If she starts crossing lines or getting damn close, then have a civil conversation with her.

Just live your life, and cross that bridge when it’s an issue. It more sounds like you’re annoyed by her. If you enjoy her company, then don’t burn that bridge by doing something dumb.

I was a subscriber from DVD rentals up until they blocked password sharing and raised their prices for the umpteenth time. They’re not Amazon bad, but they’re dead to me. They will never see another penny from me.

Here it is normal. Most of us do recognize that it shouldn’t be though.

Probably that too, but specifically the ability to spin up a private space to communicate with people for things like video games. Anyone that’s using it as their means of customer service is an idiot.

Apparently I struck a chord with my post, so I’m curious what is better than discord, and free that made my statement controversial?

Also, I don’t see locking data from search engines as a bad thing. The fediverse isn’t search engine searchable either and Google, bing, etc, don’t natively have the right to index private data.

It’s the best at what it does, but had been getting shitty in the way you described. However, it’s free and they have to support it somehow. I’ll put up with the nitro pushing and understand that’s my cost of doing business. If they go public, I’ll probably actively start looking for an alternative, because that always kills a product and it will for sure mean “AI” will be forced into it.

Yea these people have been all Dvorak for years, so switching back is difficult.

I know of two people that switched to Dvorak and both have regrets. Mostly because it’s a pain to switch to any other machine and not look like you’re just learning to type.

Can the web version of Excel do tables? I know that it’s a lesser version of the desktop app, but if tables was the most advanced feature you need, that could be an option.

While that’s true, I still hope it’s all set in stone well in advance. I’m tired of exciting politics.

Idk that it’s a ploy, but just a reality. The alternative would be judges approving the maps and ending it here.

My hope is that it will be resolved far enough in advance of elections that Texas can’t sneak something in last minutes, or at least not something this significant.

Woah woah woah, lot’s not compare fabulous knee high rainbow socks with the malware MS is putting in their OS. That’s not fair to rainbows or socks.

I don’t believe this is true. State and federal charges are completely separate and a person can be found guilty for both.

If they wanted to charge her federally, they could maybe get her moved, but she’d have to be charged with a federal crime.

Others have said it, but the quality of a person’s morals doesn’t have any direct correlation with their intelligence. Look at the majority of Congress. Most of them are intelligent people that are just the worst.

My advice is first to assess your risk tolerance to decide where your line is and then pushback. I’m a white male, so we’re not talking apples to apples, but I have long hair, I’ll talk openly about supporting lgbtq+, abortion, and really any topic, and worked in a manufacturing facility surrounded by bigots. If I was in a situation where someone says something bigoted, I’d call them out or give counter points depending on the topic. Some people are just ignorant and willing to have a conversation, but most get defensive. I’ve been taught that silence is complacency, so I’m not in the habit of letting bigots spew shit without pushback. Many of those workers I had an amicable work relationship with and a few others a little bit outside of work. In a work environment, you have to maintain a level of professionalism when discussing topics like these, but you can be stern. I personally don’t care if I piss off everyone that thinks that way, but I’m also not out there trying to get fired.

Maybe if you pushback they’ll get the hint and at least not say shit when you’re around. Make sure that if you’re making an argument, you have the knowledge to defend it. For example, you said black people on average make less, which I believe to be true, but you need to be able to cite statements like that from reputable sources.

Lastly, and this will probably be a little controversial, but there are two things I wanted to address in your examples. First, I grew up in small town Iowa and there were no black people in my highschool, and 3 adopted black children in my town. I don’t know the context of why that was brought up around you, but that isn’t inherently a racist thing, just a fact. I mention that sometimes when I’m trying to express to people how my experiences growing up may have been culturally different from people in more diverse areas. The other thing is that some people do have different tolerances for those micro aggressions. I have gay friends that will call me gay, women friends that will call me a bitch, and know of many other situations where groups of people just have a a comfortable relationship that they’re comfortable making those jokes amongst each other. If the Mexican guy that was teased was not in with the joke, then that’s a problem, but if they also thought the situation was funny, then that’s just it and not something that you should be offended about. Working retail, a guest once forgot a bag on the counter so I ran out after them. Coming up behind them near their car I yelled, “ma’am you forgot this”, and a guy turned around. Was embarrassed, but his wife thought it was hilarious, so we all just chuckled and walked it off. If later his wife was teasing him for looking like a girl, I wouldn’t consider her being bigoted or sexist or anything like that, just making a joke of the situation.

So take all that as you will. Stand up for yourself to the extent that you’re comfortable doing so. Don’t correlate a person’s intelligence with their morals. Try not to be offended of the small things if you can, because there’s not enough time in life to fret over other’s actions. Take pride in the times that your smarter than then and all the time that your better than them. Finally for some professional advice, learn from those that may be smarter than you instead of being upset that they are.

You could have just not commented, but you woke up and decided that your gonna go out and just be a dick for no reason.

What a sad fucking life.

… Oh, .ml, that makes sense.

Or keep more clips around, and if that’s not an option, roll it up and store it rolled side down. I’ve never once done this technique and have also never ended up with a stale bag of chips that I didn’t just leave out.

It’s a neat little thing, but a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. It’s like when a hotel folds towels into animals for you.

We’re all just saying it’s respectful to clean mouth before breathing in a person’s face. Nobody is saying we know better than your dentist. This is a respect things, not a facts things. I didn’t give a fuck about your mouth. Just giving advice to be better person to those around you.

Obviously you’re dentist has never said something to you about your breath, because they’re a professional.

Finally, morning breath is a well known thing, not just a me thing.

It’s because it’s profitable, that’s why they do it. As long as they don’t Elon Musk, most people either don’t know who these people are or don’t care. And if they do go fill EM, then most people still don’t care and it’s still profitable.
