  • That’s what I’m saying but my wife says I still gotta go to her dad’s house with her.

    I really, really, have no interest in talking to that man. She shouldn’t either. He was a shit human before Trump was president and he’ll be a shit human long after. Half his kids (none of her full siblings, just her half- and step- siblings…her moms side is like some of the best people I’ve met and my MIL is probably the nicest lady in the world) are equally shitty, as are half his grandkids.

    I mean hell, she gave up Target because of DEI, and she visits Target far more often.

    Aitah?

    I think trypophobia is a “meme” phobia on the internet.

    Like how everyone says “oh that’s my OCD”. It’s not really OCD (and it’s somewhat demeaning to people that do really have OCD), they’re just picky/finicky/particular.

    Same with trypophobia. It may be a crippling phobia to a small amount of people, but it’s unsettling at most to a lot of people. Like that. Lots of people don’t have a serious phobia around a bunch of holes (some people do, I’m not saying it’s not real)…it just makes them feel really uncomfortable in a weird and almost indescribable way.











  • The idea of IT fixes for HR problems irks me. It’s overhead on IT that could and should be spent doing other more important things.

    If an employee is slacking off on time-wasting sites, that’s a problem between the employee and their manager. Leave IT out of it. Treat all your employees like responsible adults and handle them individually. Blocking benign websites for everyone is collective punishment and I disagree with that.

    I’ve been thinking about announcing in some of my office chatrooms that we are going to block Reddit and SO for April fools. I think a lot of people would believe it so hard.
