Someone doesn’t just get followed into the bathroom I see.

It’s really good actually, unless you were looking for a different kind of game.

Depends a little on the type of work (contract work is different), but generally disagree. Just because you can do the work in less time doesn’t mean everyone can. You can use your spare time to do other things, but if you’re only showing up 20h/week for a full time job, there’s no reason to pay you full time wages.
There’s something off kilter with the labor system when some people are doing the work of several workers while others are doing the work of half.

In my experience at the lower rungs of retail, the bosses will assign 100% of your non-break time to 80% of the work that needs to be done. I have far more experience with understaffing than busy-work.

Survivorship bias applies to memory as much as anything else.

Sometimes the job is being available, being a body in a seat.

That’s crazy. Anyone who is against documentation should not have a job that requires literacy.

Awkward teens trying to flirt with each other, who get mad when their oblivious friend tries to get in between, are worthless?

I feel bad for folks who are introverted and not particularly strong. Almost every job with a low barrier to entry demands a lot of physical or emotional labour.

Imagine a barista with a pin that says “Here are some of the soft skills that this job demands and which I lack.”

When I have romantic feelings it doesn’t make me want to sleep with the person they’re directed towards.
It doesn’t make me want to necessarily sleep with them either, but rather stay up late having sex with them. And maybe after sleep.
But this idea of asexual romantic attraction makes about as much sense to me as saying “When I am hungry it doesn’t make me want to eat food.”
When I say I have “romantic feelings” for someone, the feeling I’m referring to is a combination of love and sexual desire. Even when I was a kid and would sort of push down or repress sexual thoughts because in my head it felt wrong or inappropriate, what I was feeling was sexual desire and love.
My understanding of the term “romantic” has always been euphemistic, based in an understanding that it would be weird and rude to just tell someone you’re crushing on that you love them and you want them to love you too and you want to put your mouth on their genitals because you think you could make them feel really good and you want to physically intimate to be vulnerable with them because vulnerability is a part of of not just physical but emotional intimacy and you want them to share their feelings and feel open to you and so on and so on you get the idea.

Do people seriously conciously fantasize about taking part in erotic acts with real people (especially ones they have feelings for)?
Yes.
I kinda get the disrespect perspective, maybe. I felt that a little as a teen. But then I thought it probably wasn’t respectful treating my crush in my mind like a sort of sexless statue or object rather than a real human being that I was in love with and wanted to have sex with.
- Comment on My new company let me join the union on my first day, within their onboarding app 4 months ago:
It’s more likely there not because the employer wanted it, but because the union demanded it.

Actually true. The number of (S)NES games with game-breaking bugs was near-zero. Probably because they couldn’t just patch them later.
