Rumor was the company that bought Jezebel had their eye on Splinter.com as well. Maybe that is coming to fruition? However, it would mean $$ to comment.

I apologize to all the Pontiac Aztek drivers I ever thought “I can’t believe you bought that hideous thing.”

Ours are all online (even when we were in the office). And they have a rolling schedule so people are not taking trainings all at once (we also have harassment training, HIPAA, company specific stuff).

My company’s IT department is integrating info on spotting deepfakes and AI into their yearly security training. Do you have anything like that at work?

I appreciate the vagueness of this comment. It can apply to anything!

Also, Gen Z is overwhelmingly moving away from punctuation (even though the original comment was left by “Boomer”).

yes. plus music, photo storage, a bunch of other stuff.

I went into the office yesterday (before that last time was last fall). I saw one desktop support guy, the switchboard lady, the mailroom guy, and one other person. We used to have 2 full floors, which they downsized to one. We couldn’t fit everyone in our current footprint, and there clearly is not the desire. We…

I have heard that, too. I watch some conspiracy-esque stuff and even I don’t get any RWNJ rabbit-hole stuff. My recs are all just either more channels by the same creator or new creators of a similar flavor. My other subs must balance it out.

From what I saw on a youtube video about this, she was not at this company for a year yet, and FMLA doesn’t apply to employees who haven’t worked for 12 months.

I have family that lives in very rural NY so I visit there occasionally, and there are Amish in the area. They will ride in a car with the “english,” but not drive it. I was in front of an Amish couple at the grocery store and they were buying almond milk. I pondered that for a long time. I assume they would grow most…

I mean, I can feel a difference between certain stores’ bags. I tend to hang onto certain ones for general household reuse vs going back to the store to be “recycled” so I guess that’s their intent? It’s getting used twice instead of once. But once it has cat shit in it... no reusing.

I was wondering about that...

They’re in tap water, they’re in food. And the recent bottled water article posted here suggested it wasn’t contamination from the bottle, but from the filtering process. So... our options are...?

Most of the people I know who have moved to AZ or Las Vegas just... ignore it. They’re either young and YOLO or old and hope to be dead before things get very bad.

Exactly. I was actually annoyed when they made the change at Target to 10 items or less because I was always in and out there, even with a full cart. Last time I went there I got stuck behind a chatty old lady and chatty cashier because I had 15 things. If you’re going to restrict the self-checkout line, put more than…

I just assumed they were all like mine (unless you’re in a Big City). I’ve heard people talk about Arby’s like they do Mattress Firm. “How is this place still open?”

I thought that was Jane Goodall in the pic, so they didn’t get his image right, either.

What line? I’ve never seen another customer in an Arby’s the same time as me :)

RIP potato cakes.
