  • I’ve noticed a theme with all these articles of ICE arresting people for no reason. Why isn’t the officer being charged/disiplined? I’m assuming ICE isn’t going to admit they gave these officers those matching orders, so what these officers are doing is just regular illegal shit. No journalist is gonna ask when the officer will face discipline? At all?

    I’m well aware that ICE would hide their officers and do a “we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”. But that’s kinda the first step kids… Each and every one of these masked goons is commiting crime. Like regular old “assault” type crime. Not even mentioning this or asking for justice just gives them more power.





  • So I spent the money on a NASA level bidet for that reason. Everyone I knew had been getting bidets and nobody would shut up about it, but they were all getting the $40 wands from Amazon. I couldn’t imagine my poor innocent pucker taking an icy blasting daily, so when we bought one we got the full toilet seat replacement with heated dryer, seat and water heater.

    After about 6 months I decided to turn the water heater off to save the .78cents a month in electricity, because it really didn’t make a difference to me. The water is in the little hose and in the pipes of the house sitting and waiting for my butt for hours, it’s perfectly room temp. I’ve never had a situation where my partner uses it first and then I do and the warm water runs down, or any other situation that would create that perfect storm, so I won’t be buying one with a heater again…

    The real life lesson I learned getting this bidet was because of the heated seat. You know the expression “you don’t know what you go til it’s gone”?

    Well at first I noticed the welcoming warmth of the seat, and because the toilet is extra smart it “learns” when to expect me and my partner and preheats the seat to save energy.

    But when I am off my routine, even just the weekends sometimes, I’ll go and take a seat: instant sad. It’s not freezing or anything, just unexpected enough and very mildly unpleasant. Something I never noticed before in my life (of luxury I guess, never had a bathroom so cold in my house that the change was shocking enough to register a memory.)

    Now, every other toilet in the world is a very mild disappointment. This is a Greek tragedy in modern times.


  • No.

    The answer to your first question is: “No. Not at all. That is independent of sexual orientation.”

    And “openly expressing an urge to fuck” at work vs “get in your gimp suit and party on a float” at a public event… If you can’t sus out the difference between those two situations, no wonder you are afraid of getting in trouble…

    What a dumb argument.







  • I (mid 30s woman) am boss and I txtd one of my guys who isn’t around very often (he works a different shift basically, sometimes we overlap, usually we don’t)

    “Hey 60 year old married man when you have a minute. Swing by my office, I’ve got something for you.”

    I had a company gift to give him.

    Auto complete decided the lips emoji was the best ending to my TXT. You know, the sexy red kissy lips.

    I NEVER use that emoji. I never use emojis, when I told this story to other workers who I TXT regularly they were like “you yeah write out jazz hands or *sparkle emoji”

    But my phone knew what that innocent TXT needed. Awkward, potentially work relationship ruining lips.


  • I gave a month’s notice at a job I was leaving. I was moving on, it wasn’t a shit job but I was ready to move up and they weren’t promoting me to the types of jobs I wanted. No hard feelings.

    Until I have my month’s notice. I had been there 3 years and assumed we would take a week or so to hire someone, then I could train them on the job the last 2 weeks. It sure would have helped me when I started.

    I wish I’d giving 3 days. They had no interest in including me in the new hire process (this is a small business, only 2 other people above me, owner and accountant) and basically it felt like they were waiting on me to leave so they could bring in their new pick.

    Now I did end up working for that company in the position I wanted part time for a couple years after that, so I guess just not showing up would have been way worse, but I found that time period incredibly stressful and still don’t understand the motives.
