haha yeah

A real thing that happened is me as a teenager.

I had what turned out to be a dangerous walking pneumonia, for a week, but the manager at Burger King wouldn’t let me off.  My breathing was very loud and ragged.  I was coughing on and breathing on the food.

I wasn’t allowed to leave.  I was told if i called out, I was fired.

So Im shuffling around wheezing loudly swaying with my high fever as I work drive thru by myself, and a paramedic walked in to order dinner.

He goes ballistic, My friends.  He demands to see the Manager.  he chews him out at the top of his lungs so the whole restaurant can here.  Guys working the back came up to watch.  Customers staring and thinking hard about the infectious food they were eating.  Dude losing his shit about how infectious I was and all the people management had been endangering for days judging from my breathing and I needed to be home on antibiotics RIGHT NOW and the health Department was going to hear about this.

I went home.  i got the week off.  Didn’t even need a doctor’s note.

Getting friends management doesn’t know to do this WOULD WORK.

Same manager not letting me take my influenza home a year later  despite repeated vomiting?  Threw up in front of customers.  Customers demanded money back and started threatening the manager with lawsuits.

I got to go home and got time off until I stopped vomitting.

GO AHEAD and THROW UP in front of Customers.  THEY will Complain.

Don’t be shy.  

They are supposed to let you stay home when you are sick.  Stop protecting management. (Hiding how sick you are protects management).  They are abusing you.  Let them reap what they sow.

the spirit is not willing and the flesh it is not so into the idea either

on my soapbox again but i just dont get it. why do people want laios to fuck or be in a relationship with marcille? what do they have in common? they went on a journey to bring back laios's sister, yeah, but that doesnt mean every fuckin male and female that goes on a party together should eventually end up fucking. marcille constantly puts up with laios at best, and while they grow to appreciate eachother as friends and dungeon-exploring buddies there is not a single moment in the entire series where marcille does any of the goofy shit for him that she does around or for falin. fuck she literally takes a bath with falin after just piecing together her cleaned bones and using magic to bring her back from death.

this must be what its like for people that have to deal with fandom shippers or whatever. people will just make relationships up out of nothing for no reason. i promise i dont give that much of a shit about pairing stuff but like. its so clearly written to be a story about how much marcille loves falin. and maybe the relationship is also cause its a formative part of my becoming a "lesbo" and theres no reason to throw the autistic man in there like it has to be mandatory every story ever has two main characters engage in a heterorelationship

Parents really post stuff like this online and wonder why their kids don't trust them

The phone is there for my convenience, it is not an electronic leash. If it's not convenient for me to talk for any reason, including "Just not feeling social right now", I'm not obligated to answer. This is not rude, this is a normal personal boundary.

It is astounding how capitalists are as simultaneously greedy and stupid as you think they are. Netflix would of turned down star wars if it was pitched to them

Good morning to doomed people only

Your parents are not "narcissists". They're typical authoritarian assholes who treat you like their property because society allows them to.

Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.

Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.

And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.

So stop blaming mental illness and start blaming society's normalization of abuse. Stop acting like someone has to have a mental illness in order to do something cruel when ordinary people have been doing atrocious things since forever.

Pathologizing abuse, whether it’s in the home or the workplace, whether it’s physical or emotional or sexual, stops us from being able to recognize the hegemonic structures that make abuse so universal. It is not aberrant, it is completely normal, and that should spur you to action

"do you seriously think you're above the rules" the stupid ones yeah

if you want me to follow the rules you have to make sure they're not stupid. this isn't a difficult concept to grasp.

"In the instance an employer makes an illegal request for a photograph as part of a job application, you may submit a complaint to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission." Successful violation fee collections are paid partially to the one who suffered the violation, which in many cases exceeds a year of work at these shit jobs. There's only two weak points to a corporation, and those are in the budget and in the supply chain. Hit them where it hurts.

Fucking word.

Learn your rights!

AUTO REBLOG IN CASE YOU MISSED THIS THE 1ST TIME AROUND.  It is important to KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

Communists and anarchists will spend all day talking about abstract concepts and structures like capitalism and the state, but willfully ignore the very real, tangible curse placed upon me by the foul necromancer

straight up not only is moralizing appearance shitty because people in your life will find out that you think they're ugly, it's also a suuuuper easy stepping stone to racism because a lot of features the zeitgeist deems "ugly" are features often found in marginalized groups.

like, i mean, think about what people deem ugly and use as shorthand for "villains" in stories. crooked teeth, being fat, darker skin, bigger noses, hairy bodies; i think if you apply some critical thinking you can see where these ideas come from and why tying them with being "evil" is bad

The AI tech bubble finally bursting is going to be both catastrophic and very funny.

Like it’s going to be wild, it’s already starting to hit NVIDIA stock. The chain reaction will hit tech giants and everyone depending on them.

Line goes down.

thinking about how the world would be better if more people understood the differences between 'the author failed to tell the story they wanted to tell' and 'the author told the story they wanted to tell, but they told it badly' and 'the author told the story they wanted to, and they told it well, but it wasn't the story I wanted to read'
