I rather hope that we’re in the infancy of this type of thing, and that there are some brilliant legal minds out there somewhere who can figure out a way to make it safe, legal, and only used for good reasons — imagine a global list of known (but unprosecuted or underprosecuted) domestic abusers, likely future school…

“My tax dollars go to the government which in turn pay the public employees, which in turn pay my dollars to the Unions which then use the money to support candidates that I do Not want. It is a crime and in a roundabout way makes me a slave.”

Little straw bales.

I scrolled down hoping to find someone else petty enough to pick on her style choices.  You mentioned the earrings; I was hoping someone would say something snarky like “if that’s her daytime make-up, I wonder what her ‘date-night’ make-up looks like?” so that I could quietly give them a star.  As it is, I had to type…

Maybe they’ll donate the veil to some African country to be made into mosquito netting and thus prevent the premature deaths of a few hundred children by malaria?

Here are some “world-conquering” hens enjoying all that food and protection:

As a counterpoint, vegans are usually very conscientious about all of those factors as well; for instance, seeing reports of the “avocado toast” trend’s effects on deforestation and making the decision to stop buying avocados, at least for now. Or comparing all of the pros and cons of milk alternatives and choosing…

I always thought “domestic violence” was an umbrella term that included any combination of family members/partners fighting, including siblings fighting with each other, children abusing their parents, parents abusing grandparents, etc.  I think there oughtta be a different word that specifies past or present intimate…

And/or a traumatic brain injury problem.  AKA a football problem.

I second what the space monkey said: if you’re not hired, it’s for some reason other than your qualifications. There are a million *discrete* reasons why employers might not hire awesome candidates, even candidates who use the word “discrete” correctly in a sentence (as you did above). I’m talking super weird, random…

Um, I have ... rectangular poop. Any scientists wanna hazard a guess about that? It started a year or so ago. My poop used to be circular in cross-section, just like most other non-wombats. But now it’s... narrow. On the sides. (Please no one dox me, please no one dox me, please no one dox me....)

Obviously, the fact that you already posted with the same thought!

I guess sad, and maybe a little mad at fate, but grateful that you have it to fall back on? Also, maybe validated that your problems are “real”? (This is coming from a long-time unemployed, undiagnosed person.)

Thinking of you.  Know nothing about you, but it doesn’t matter.  Crying for you a little bit now.  Imagining hugging you.

Alas, it’s been more than a decade since I worked in HR (or worked at all), or I’d chime in with advice here. :-(

Yeah, me too. As soon as I read it, I started to type that I wanted to print it out and post it all over ... but couldn’t think of where I’d want to post it so that it would be seen by all the people who need to see it. Now put on some Elton John music in the background and read it when he sings: “You’re a…

There was a little typo in the second org you listed.  Here’s the link:

Pretty sure you’ve given your money to neither, so there’s that.

Yeah, I got actual chills! That doesn’t usually happen to me just by looking at a photo. Also, just heard that Kyrsten Sinema has been officially declared the victor in AZ!

Those games sound kinda fun!
