Do tell!

Also, I mean yes miss. My apologies, I thought your username said saltyLAD, my brain deleted the y.

Yes sir, you guess it right. I’m not sure about everyone, but I have talked to several ex employees of said company who claim it was horrible. They keep metrics for every employee, and at the end of a quarter if you’re the bottom rung in the metrics they fire you, no questions asked. Which means people are savagely…

I had a similar experience with two separate interviews for a satellite TV company (guess which one, you’ll probably nail it). The first interview was for a job which was about as legal as running around an elementary school in a scary clown outfit - it was pretty much corporate espionage, spying on competitors. When…

100% agree!

A lot of companies comp or reimburse people who work from home for their internet. My employer does not.

Yes it is, for a lot of people. I work from home, as do a handful of other people in my apartment complex. I have Centurylink, but if I was capped at 1TB, I could be screwed. I’m not sure I could make it month working from home on a TB, I’m honestly not sure. I do massive file transfers multiple times a day, so maybe…

I’ve always been skeptical of these games. I have a co-worker who, to put it nicely, isn’t quite at the level of the rest of the team. Anyway, she always makes a point, at least once a week, to mention how smart she is because of the brain-training games she does. In fact it’s really annoying, like how the most…

So.. sorry to be that guy (but not really), if every power source has negative impacts in some form, it sounds like... oh I don’t know... Maybe we should address our power usage? The most effective way to do this is to reduce the birth rate, but since we’re all of free will, that will never happen. The next effect way…

I’m at the age where most of my friends are starting new families and have stopped playing GTA, for any number of bran new family reasons, or maybe they got bored. Anyway, I stopped going in alone because I’m not used to playing with strangers and I rarely have a mic plugged in. On top of that, I’ve done every solo…

This article and the linked studies are a good first step. Kids, however, learn so much from what they see their parents doing. It’s the things parents don’t give a second thought to which kids learn from. Kids see their parents battling with people on the roads, battling with people at the grocery store, battling…

Thanks for the insight! I think it’s so odd - if we’re all there for the same thing, then why are the response rates so low?! Although I’ll admit as a man at least I don’t have to deal with the jackass men like women do. I think that would add to the demoralizing experience of it all.

That’s a fair point. It’s not as if men are kind to women on the internet (or real life, in a lot of cases), I couldn’t imagine being female on a dating site.

Yeah man, I hear you. I’ve often wondered what people are really looking for when they join a dating site. I sent my profile to my female friends to have them send to their girlfriends who didn’t know me. Each one came back and said very positive things. I followed the advice when creating my profile, posted pictures…

After my last relationship, which was very long term, ended I realized I was at the age where meeting a good single woman in person was likely gone. I set up profiles on a couple sites. I read all the advice in the world and even asked female friends to send my profile to their girl friends who didn’t know me, to have…

I desperately wanted to free roam Mafia 2, GTA style, but was disappointed by the constant call to action and lack of free roam activities. That said, it’s one of the most replayed games I have - it’s so good.

How so? It’s a Japanese motorcycle designation because I started Kinja’ing via Lanesplitter.

Wow how times have changed. 20 years ago my essentials in my backpack were:

Oh I gotcha. Yeah my previous employer implemented the same policy after a lawsuit.

My dad hit me with a switch when I was a kid when I deliberately disobeyed him and threw a toy block and my mom in a tantrum. I deserved it. I don’t hold it against him, at all. I don’t look back on it as some traumatic experience. I never did anything to warrant a whopping ever again after that, until maybe a couple…
