Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?

Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.

When WIC (Women, infants, and children voucher program to help low income mothers/families with children) people were in my line I would pretty much know who they were. Before the cards they had to tell us upfront they were WIC and show us their vouchers for what they were allowed to get (it was awful some times. Like. 2 gallons of milk. $4 worth of vegetables etc etc). They’d always have items hanging back, waiting to see what the total was and if they would have to take it off the belt.

I began to place the fruits/vegetables a certain way on the register scale so that like 1/2lbs of grapes read as like .28lbs or something. Then act shocked when I said that they still had X amount of lbs left. They got all their fruit and vegetables.

I think it started to kinda? Catch on to the women? Because I would have the same moms in my line month after month. And even after they switched to the cards (they worked like food stamp cards?) I’d still do the same thing. They were able to get more produce for whatever shitty max amount Indiana gave them.

Anyways. Be chaotic. It’s more fun that way.

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

Bad news, @noodelzmop. Arbitration basically means that if you want to sue Discord for whatever reason, the dispute needs to be handled in house. Specifically, in their house. If you don't get this email out, you're basically signing away your right to legal recourse if they do criminally shitty stuff to you, like with the McDonalds app.

I have been told that emailing "I am confirming that as of the date of this email, I am choosing to opt out of binding arbitration to settle disputes with Discord." With the Email you used for your discord account is enough for the notice but take this with a grain of salt as this was not said by a lawyer

reiterating that this only applies to US users

THIRTY DAY LIMIT BTW. I suggest taking sixty seconds to fire off a quick email with op’s recommended text. I have no plans to sue discord but better safe than sorry

Not apocalyptic levels of OhFuck unless you’ve sat through a Cat5, but shit’s been like this for a long time now. We just put up with it for far too fucking long:

Me: I need to go home. There’s a hurricane coming and my basement apartment is on the coast, so I’m worried about my cats. (To myself: And maybe needing to evacuate.)

Boss: Is your house and your cats more important than this job?

Me: YES.

Boss: …oh. Okay. Uh…see you tomorrow…

Different boss, several years later, a conversation that happened multiple times:

Me: Hey, it’s starting to really snow outside, I live on a steep hill, and I only have 2-wheel drive. If I don’t leave now, I can’t get home.

Boss: Is getting home more important than getting your job done tonight?

Me: Considering I value my life more than I value this paperwork being digitized? YES.

Boss: ….

Me: Bye. See you tomorrow.

Boss: Uh, yeah, okay.

Different atttempt:

Boss: Why don’t you just get a hotel after work?

Me: Do I get a raise so I can afford it?

Boss: No.

Me: Bye. See you tomorrow.

Boss: Is getting home

more important than getting

your job done tonight?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Haikubot aside we should normalize saying those things to bosses absolutely. It’s only going to get worse.

الليلة الأولى من رمضان و بلشت اشتباكات في الضفة الغربية و هاي ‏المرة الثالثة الليلة اقتحم الاحتلال مخيم بلاطة في نابلس .

الليل طويل

It is only the first night of Ramadan and the IOF has started raiding cities in the West Bank.

Tonight they raided Nablus at midnight, wreaking havoc in Balata Refugee Camp. They destroyed a supermarket and personal private properties. And now, at 4:00 AM, while every family is up to eat suhoor before beginning their fast, the IOF is raiding again. They raided 3 times in one night, destroying personal private properties and a supermarket.

Keep in mind there has also been a raid in Tulkarem and its refugee camps which has been ongoing for 4+ hours. They are destroying infrastructure and shooting innocent civilians and arresting innocent people.

tumblr polls  —  custom colors ⋆

Tumblr rolled out polls as of January 2023. Whilst anyone can vote, only a small portion of users were granted the feature to make polls. Polls are slowly being released to more users. Unfortunately, they can be hard to read and don’t match with the rest of your desktop theme. I wrote a quick fix you can add to your theme, allowing you to choose your poll colors and font sizes.
This fix only lets you alter the appearance. If you want bonus functionality, take that up with @staff.

☆ How to use:

Locate and jump to </head> in your theme’s code.

Paste this chunk of code before that:

<!--✻✻✻✻✻✻ UN-BLUE POLLS by @glenthemes ✻✻✻✻✻✻--> <link href="//static.tumblr.com/gtjt4bo/mXBrpdj0n/unblue-polls.css" rel="stylesheet"> <style> .poll-post { --Poll-Question-Font-Size: 16px; --Poll-Option-Background-Color: #fcfcfc; --Poll-Option-Corner-Rounding: 18px; --Poll-Option-Border-Size: 2px; --Poll-Option-Border-Color: #efefef; --Poll-Option-Padding: 15px; --Poll-Option-Font-Size: 13px; --Poll-Option-Spacing: 10px; --Poll-Option-Text-Color: #666666; --Poll-Option-HOVER-Border-Color: #cfdae4; --Poll-Option-HOVER-Background-Color: #ebf0f4; --Poll-Option-HOVER-Text-Color: #1a1b1d; --Poll-Option-HOVER-Speed: 0.4s; } </style>

☆ A few things to note:

  • polls are still under development, so things will likely change.
  • clicking the poll options takes you to vote on the dashboard post view; I can’t control this.
  • if a poll has ended, the “See Results” link may not appear; I can’t control this.
