Haha, been there as well. Took advantage of unlimited overtime for an easy job, but no way is it sustainable in the long term. I was waking up and clocking in immediately, only clocking out to eat and sleep.
My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)...
This seems to be something people don’t always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that’s the case, change the...
Definitely not me, my dad hates that after my brother did it.
It all began innocently enough. My family had gathered for a lazy Sunday brunch, seeking refuge from the relentless sun.
As the meal progressed, laughter and chatter filled the air. But amidst the joviality, a small ice cube managed to escape its glass prison, slipping onto the tiled floor with a barely audible tinkling sound.
At first, it went unnoticed. But as fate would have it, my younger brother , perhaps distracted by the excitement of the day, accidentally kicked the wayward ice cube under the refrigerator with a careless flick of the foot.
Initially, there was no reaction. But as the meal continued and the ice cube remained forgotten beneath the appliance, a subtle change began to take hold. The father, ever observant, caught sight of the ice cube’s icy trail and the faint click as it disappeared beneath the fridge.
At first, he said nothing, choosing instead to watch quietly as the ice cube remained trapped in its chilly exile. But with each passing minute, a sense of unease began to gnaw at him. The simple act of neglect, the disregard for tidiness and order, slowly chipped away at his patience.
Finally, unable to contain his growing frustration, my father’s voice broke through the cheerful din. “Did you just kick that ice cube under the fridge?” he asked, his tone deceptively calm.
He then left the room, but quickly came back and beat my brother senseless with a set of jumper cables.
Admittedly, the measures in place did not seem to work as intended. The light should have gone red before the truck had a chance to enter the intersection, and the sign should alert the driver that their truck is too large to go under the bridge. However, that doesn’t stop everyone: youtu.be/-VokezIMLKE

I don’t want to support their platform. Exclusivity deals are bad for gamers and only lines pockets. Terrible customer support and security. And also Tim Sweeney and Epic’s overall enshittification of games through loot boxes and season passes.
Last time I read this I was with my father. So it has to be more than a few weeks because it was during our annual deer hunting trip we take in northern Wisconsin.
It was a pretty tumultuous weekend, but reading that made us feel better. We had gone out early in the day before sunrise to make sure we could have the most daylight available to us in the shortened days. Though we weren’t having much luck until about 30 minutes to sunset when we saw a huge buck.
My dad got really excited and nearly dropped the rifle! I was shaking with excitement, and nearly fell over but stopped myself. Though, as I put my foot out to catch my balance I stepped on a stick and snapped it. This sent the buck running and my dad just glared at me with disappointment.
Later that evening, after I was asleep, my dad came into my room and beat me senseless with a set of jumper cables.
I feel like culture is beginning to change, but there’s so much inner class warfare and competitiveness in some positions that some are blinded to the bigger picture it seems.
Every measly raise I’ve ever gotten, comes with a warning that the company doesn’t want us discussing wages. I feel like a lot don’t see that as the red flag that that is, and are only concerned about themselves in that matter. I’ve always ran to blab to my coworkers make sure we’re all in it together for equal pay
