Sadly we can’t survive on low pay. That’s just death
- Comment on Layoffs every 2 years 1 day ago:
Thanks for sharing your experience. Even if it seems insignificant, I know it must’ve been so hard to go through. That trauma is understandable and makes you human. I appreciate you sharing it.
I’ve thought about going into management too. I have 5 years in my industry. I could be manager next. But I’ve never been trained. Idk how to lead. Idk how to report progress, manage projects, delegate, answer questions I don’t have the answers to. Lie to my employees and subordinates as to why they’re average even if they’re exceptional. Meets expectations, everyone gets that. So many new challenges id have to face I’m nervous about.
But then again I could just get laid off again after landing a manager job. Who knows? It’s terrifying thinking about moving up

Yup There’s going to be a whole lot more almost people too. Because there’s no no refilling program in the USA. What are you supposed to do if you have a Masters in computer science and 5 years of experience? You can’t just go back to college for a 60K degree in nursing or become an electrician or something…

Every now and then they regurgitate truths to get the broader audience to tap in. Then they say some bullshit like the 2nd half about doing a side hustle moonlighting and saving costs.
- Comment on EA releases another shameless IP flip with Sims 1/2 Legacy 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I’ve used both on Windows 11. Unfortunately, does nothing for the User Interface size. But that’s exactly what I had to do to get the original games to run before this shameless flip.

I get what you’re saying, but who do you think they’re going to look up to now? It’s like Batman where penguin is the big head honcho, and now all the slimy underlings start to look up to him because he gets away with so much, and now everyone else wants to do the same thing because they think there’s no consequences except that we have no Batman

Lol this same person once told me that he doesn’t support LGBT or Black lives matter or any of that because he doesn’t agree with those communities and thinks that they are hateful

Not sure about moist
What do you mean by moist? 🤔
he shouldn’t have to be an outright prick
I think he has no idea of self-perception. It seems like he is completely oblivious to it.

This is like you complaining about not getting a medium rare burger from mcdonalds.
lmfao careful commenting this, some “influencer” is gonna try that now and post it YouTube

Dude you’re comparing something stupidly expensive like liquor to coffee. like what?? 10 years ago, you could get an iced coffee less ice, it had like 5 ice cubes in it. Now they just give you half the amount of coffee what the hell? How can you even justify that? If we’re talking about some expensive top shelf liquor that costs $30-80 a bottle, sure, I get that. But this is literally sugary coffee and milk!
- Comment on Ordering coffee in the USA triggers me 4 weeks ago:
Are you a corporate apologist or something? cause your reply sounds like the most absurd logic ever. Back in 2010 I remember dunkin giving you more milk if you got a less ice coffee, it wasn’t an automated machine.

The concept of a mental health trigger refers specifically to something that reactivates a traumatic memory and induces serious distress in the person triggered
the trauma or stress is that everything costs more now in the USA, and provides diminishing returns. This is definitely a trigger. Everything is more expensive, and every place is giving you less of it than they were a decade ago or more. When I was in high school around the 2000s-2010s, you go to a coffee shop, there was no malicious hyper-profit maximizing bullshit. $2-3 max for an iced latte or coffee, and you could just have it customized. You want more milk, less ice? Sure! Now everything is maximum cost, and no. No, we can’t customize that, but it costs 250% more than it did 5 years ago. So yeah, it’s triggering, and I can say it’s triggering because we are FUCKING TIRED OF THIS SHIT. EVERYTHING COSTS SO MUCH MONEY. $6 for a coffee which is HALF ICE??? I can go get a huge ass bag of ice FOR $3!!! Why am I paying SIX DOLLARS… FOR A CUP OF ICE???1???

It’s not. I wish it was

The fact that so many in this thread are defending the chain is mind boggling
Lot of contrarian keyboard warriors on here lately and it’s almost like they’re disagreeing just for the sake of arguing
- Comment on Ordering coffee in the USA triggers me 5 weeks ago:
If you want two espresso shots, then you could just have them straight up. It doesn’t really make sense why you would water them down with a bunch of ice, because then it tastes like crap. If I get an iced latte, it should taste like an iced latte, I shouldn’t have to struggle through it by dumping more sugar into it like I’m taking some sort of medical concoction. There are so many things they could do to fill up the cup, add a little bit of milk into it. You guys don’t have milk? I asked them that. Oh well it’s extra to put more milk. Ridiculous I swear

Lol It definitely does not. Most drink companies have gutted their rewards program, especially Starbucks.

- Comment on The cost of college in USA makes no sense anymore 5 weeks ago:
I have a 4 year degree and it has never advantaged me, ever. These days you need a perfect resume to even get a call. Even then you’re treated like an expendable henchman in a crime syndicate.

- Comment on Does the USA simply have no food safety standard at all? 2 months ago:
That’s not what the dictionary definition of sanitary is. Seriously, go look it up. According to Merriam-Webster, it first says: Of or relating to health. Plastic leaching into stuff is not healthy. No one has ever proved that it’s safe. The burden of proof is always proving that something is harmful, and then it’s classified as harmful. The problem is, we don’t know something is harmful for decades, or longer. People literally believed that it was safe to have cocaine in Coca-Cola and that cigarettes were completely harmless. We also believe that vaping is not harmful, and that marijuana isn’t harmful either. Who knows if that’ll be discovered as being extremely harmful to your health in 100 years or so.
So to me personally, I don’t find it sanitary to involve something in the process that you have no idea whatsoever if it affects your health or not. I would call that unsanitary.
