Why can't I see any comments there? I can see the posts, but it says they all have 0 comments?
Wdym? I just always work late shifts and meet other weird night people at the handful of businesses still open when I get off work.
Truth. I don't have to deal with this now, but give me Mariah Carey over "affordable woman who claims to sing like Mariah Carey" any day. There are so, so many bad Christmas covers it is ridiculous. I don't like Mariah Carey more than anyone else, but she is legitimately talented and skilled. There are worse singers and musicians covering the same songs.
I'm an autonomy maximalist. If you think this is right for you, do it. It's just a wild idea to me. For me, it was a door that, once opened, could not be closed.
Ngl I wouldn't do that for a partner. Not a chance. I don't have family in my life. No future partners of mine will meet my family. I don't have to meet my partners' families. I wouldn't make myself miserable for two weeks minimum for any family. Not a chance I would do this. You say "when I am safe again." I wouldn't be with a partner who wanted me to feel like that for their comfort.

Nope. I got the ADHD. I need the robot to remind me about things. It'd make some of you sick how many notifications I get. I have notifications turned on for every channel in two Discord servers. Traffic on them is usually slow to modest, but still. Lemmy is the only platform I use daily that isn't allowed any notifications because I've been using forums for about twenty years and don't often forget to check in here.
Plague, the infestation afflicting the whole muskrat nation.
I work the way I do for me. As someone who is hyper focused on my job, I understand what you're getting at. Before my recent promotion, I was doing way more work than my coworkers for the same pay because I was work obsessed. But it was what I wanted to do. I am excellent at a job that is genuinely important.
At this point I have wholeheartedly embraced it. I've been even more focused since my promotion. I will be the convenience store woman, but for my dispensary. It makes me happy.

I'm that much more ready for bed. I just gotta wash my face and brush my teeth and I'm in bed, where I don't wear clothes.
Big businesses are definitely worse about it because they don't have real training and nobody feels they have the authority to act on things in the moment. I work at a small location for a medium sized business. If there is an issue with how a trans person is addressed, I can swoop in and make sure it is immediately corrected and understood. I have been fast enough to stop potentially uncomfortable moments before they happened. (I like to think nobody at my dispensary would do worse than an uncomfortable misstep, but I try to prevent those too.) There is no equivalent to that in a large, faceless corporate workplace. Managers, regardless of their quality or training, aren't going to be reliably present. Employees are on their own with their existing skills, training, personalities, and biases. You can find a small business with a culture of respect you can count on. You'll always be gambling with a big business.
