The ops guy drew up multiple plans for a redundant light source and plans to train staff on light bulb replacement protocols, but was overruled by management who found this to be too costly. Maybe next year tho.

I ordered a laptop from BB for an executive at work, they tried delivering it on a Saturday and texted me about it, offered to deliver elsewhere instead, so I’m like, sure bring it to my house. Then when they get there, it’s a third party delivery service (not Doordash but like it) - woman and her boyfriend - hat out looking for a tip. Umm I didn’t ASK for some weird tip-based delivery service, I thought they were UPSing that shit. I can’t put tips on my corporate card, for laptop delivery fees?! So I looked like the asshole after they booked it across town. Haven’t ordered from Best Buy again, what a terrible customer experience.

I told them their “MEN DON’T POST HERE” posts on the frontpage are hostile, which is the reaction they got from a half dozen folks who were talking about the subject. I talked about my experience as a gay man, wanting more community here on Lemmy, but that I wouldn’t start communities or threads saying “NO STRAIGHT PEOPLE POST HERE” to do it. And I pointed out their community has decided there are only two ways to deal with it.

I get that I broke their rule, and I can be banned there for that - but they didn’t ban me for being a man, they banned me for hurting their feelings.

And now I can’t use LGBTQ and Trans communities as a result. OK, fuck turtlesareneat, he shouldn’t be allowed in queer communities cause he hurt a mod’s feelings.

Yep food pantries will repackage food but rarely process or cook it because that’s a whole different animal.

But, many food pantries I’ve worked with had ways to offload large amounts of things creatively, it’s how I got the best pear gelato I’ve ever had in my life.

They will just disable the mute buttons. It happens around here all the time, marking them accelerates it.

I now avoid any gas station with immutable ads. But if I am in a pinch. The longest sharpest key on your key ring can slide right in and puncture the speaker, thus solving the issue more permanently.

Hello fellow human, can I have that address then

Fabric softener isn’t soap tho, it’s like the opposite, a bunch of greasy conditioners and relaxants and fragrances designed to cling to your clothes even after rinsing.

China to the rescue, a good tug and they peel like a banana now

That sounds like an average Tuesday in Texas

Our local ice creamery is up for best ice cream in the country, They serve ice cream year round, but have excellent cocoa in the winter to draw in everyone, super expensive handmade marshmallows, etc.

Doesn’t let you rifle through things approvingly as you go. "Yes this is the correct directory because it has the three files I was looking at earlier–

You know what let’s do a ls -al just to be super sure it’s the right modification

My state has stripped unemployment down to 12 weeks, after that went by after my layoff at Christmas, I got so desperate and depressed and a little bit crazy. As the day is ticked closer to my first missed mortgage payment and car payment, And the thought of homelessness for me and my animals became a sobering reality, I started taking every interview I could possibly find, no preparation, just winging it until something worked.

During that whole process, I saw what the endgame is, we are slaves, but there is no slave master anymore, we do that part ourselves to avoid dying on the street.

So I am very motivated to start my own niche company and get the fuck away from this whole system at this point. Especially since I will have to work until I die, 401ks have all been cashed out during crises.

LOOK AT THE WORDS THEY ARE FUNNY

I’M GONNA SEND THIS TO MAY GRANDSON’S FACEBOOK

Deodorant was first marketed to immigrants and that’s how it took hold. People mildly-to-seriously stank for all of human history and it just was, perfumes have always been a market too. But then someone was like “but what if we made these folks feel even more ostracized to sell them a solution”

And this began the “your body is fucking disgusting” cycle that now encourages us to literally coat ourselves head-to-toe in (eczema to cancer causing) chemical deodorants. Great.

Same but - I was actually relieved Microsoft finally MADE an RDP client for Mac again. What was wrong with RDP for Mac? It was fine and they axed it. But them replacing RDP everywhere is just hilarious.

We’re still so young, we haven’t even killed anyone yet.

quick edit: I do have suggestions tho

I think they mean to show something “fancy and expensive.”

Which rather ignores the M2 $399 Mac Mini I can go pick up at Best Buy right now, which is kind of insane cost/capability.

But their upgrades are stupid expensive and there are things to complain about with Apple.

Drink a bottle of pepto at night and it erases the damage pretty well. You’ll shit black tho.

Tourism is big money, all this anti-Mexico rhetoric is hurting them in more ways than one.
