So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

*sighs* this was so beautiful when the percentages were 20% : 80%...

Good morning to EDT and CDT, and to the early birds in the mountains

The US military employs about 2.86 million people worldwide. That means they generated about 17 tonnes of emissions per person, a figure substantially smaller than Swift's alone

In fact, you might say that Taylor Swift has personally generated the emissions of 465 members of one of the world's largest polluters. I wouldn't say that remotely absolves her

i'm such a big fan of laios using being well fed as proof that he's serious. like there's so many techbros & etc who will use not eating breakfast as proof that they're productive & just in general, the idea of being "too busy to eat" is getting more common (which is exactly what toshiro is doing here!) but laios is like. no. i'm so serious about this i'm thinking about what comes next. i'm so serious about this i'm making sure my body can do everything it can when i need it.

the fact that everyone in the party took care of themselves & carefully planned out their route & when they'd take breaks is what made them so successful. they always made sure to understand their limits

your explanation on walmarts system makes sense based on what my moms told me. it also just further convinces me that i got black listed when i quit SC years ago. i had to quit because of health issues and the manager tried to guilt me and essentially told me to get over it cause she was pregnant and she was able to work fine lol

This can happen actually yeah. You can be put on a Do Not Hire list where it automatically kills your application the moment you apply. I had this happen with a coworker who got fired because his hand got slammed in a baler door and after all the legal stuff he tried to reapply and it notified me but immediately sent a rejection letter. Despite trying multiple times it would not go through.

This can also happen to customers, though rarer because Sam's Club will actually let anything slide to keep customers happier (more on this later). Sometimes a membership can get flagged and it can notify any Club that they're on thin ice, suspicious, or to flat out not allow them to shop WHICH they can STILL charge you membership fees but iirc they got into legal trouble with that but ultimately doesn't matter.

Before I forget, the making customers happy thing, right.

Working at Sam's for a while I've seen, and this is no exaggeration, I assure you:

  • Customers return almost completely eaten food, literally sometimes completely eaten food and say they did not like it and get a refund
  • Members threaten employees and the employee gets in trouble
  • Return products without the actual product in the box
  • I've seen physical violence occur and only the associate gets in trouble, which honestly, Sam's Club exit techs: my heart goes out to you but please find another job its not safe or worth the money
  • Members lie about a deal or a situation to get a gift card and the associate get in trouble
  • Members enact violence on entry and exit door workers because they're stealing (side note: as an employee, you're not allowed to touch, chase, or confront a member who is stealing. It's automatic termination if you do or go a certain distance outside the store)
  • Managers take the screaming irate members to only have them damage property and still be allowed to shop in the future
  • Members attempt to return extremely old perishable products (like more than a year old) and despite the return policy being a 1-3 months, it goes through anyway, often letting them get a refund
  • When any of these things happen the key phrase is "just take care of the member: in which you just prepare yourself for the bullshit about to hit

I'm sure there are more but im too tired to think of anything else bc sleep meds.

Blind Date 

Joe took his blind date to the carnival. “What would you like to do first, ?” asked Joe.

“I want to get weighed,” she said. They walked over to the weight guesser, and he guessed 120 pounds. She got on the scale. It read 117, so she won a prize.

The couple then went on the Ferris wheel. When the ride was over, Joe asked again what Kim would like to do. “I want to get weighed,” she said.

Since they had been there before, the weight guesser guessed her weight correctly, and Joe lost his dollar.

The couple walked around the carnival and again he asked where to next. “I want to get weighed,” she responded.

Joe decided that Kim was weird and took her home early, dropping her off with a hand shake.

Her roommate, Laura, asked her about the blind date, “How’d it go?”

Kim responded, “Oh, Waura, it was wousy.”
