  Oh Eric Adams can fuck all the way off. They all can, tbh, but especially him.

  Entomologists in shambles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where's my damn plume⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was about to be offended and then I remembered how I got out of breath walking up the stairs this morning. (To be fair, I’m anemic af and almost certainly have a touch of long covid, but still.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Writing tip: just start brain dumping⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to write intros like that as placeholders because I always wrote the real intro once I was sure where I was going with a paper. I learned to make placeholder text red and all caps after almost making that mistake.

  That’s the best part - they’re all bad! I’m lucky I usually stick to government and most use governmentjobs.com, which isn’t perfect but it’s miles better. But when I’ve been looking for a second job or trying to see what’s available in the private sector, I have yet to find a site that isn’t trash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starbucks wants a Bachelor's degree for a barista⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed has been trash for years, so that tracks. That’s why I’ve only ever used it to figure out who (maybe) has jobs open and then apply directly - they have so much bad information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starbucks wants a Bachelor's degree for a barista⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this a 3rd party site? Every barista job on Starbucks’ actual site says no experience or education required, so I’m pretty sure what’s more infuriating is how god awful pretty much every job site has become.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How am I supposed to obtain income?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What state do you live in? I used to take unemployment claims and there was no requirement to file the initial claim by a specific date (though I’m sure there would eventually be a cutoff). The hard deadlines were once the claim was filled because claimants have to go in weekly and certify that they’re still unemployed and actively looking for work. It’s possible you can still apply, and layoffs tend to be processed faster. I’d strongly recommend trying. The worst they can say is no.

  Also, I realize your situation really sucks, and I don’t want to downplay that at all, but I wouldn’t be surprised if at least some of your expectation that you’ll be rejected is coming through in interviews. Interviews are at least part about how good your acting skills are, which is ass, but also reality. I have often crippling depression and anxiety, but I’m great at faking positive and confident, and I’ve been offered most of the jobs I’ve interviewed for in my life. Not because I’m always the most educated or experienced candidate, but because I seem like I’ll be tolerable to work with.

  Oh and lie if you’re overqualified - say you’re looking to take a step back because you want to go back to school or something. Stupid but people respond better to that than the idea that we want to pay our bills and a job is a job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Absolute slander⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Valid question. I haven’t eaten there in years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Absolute slander⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe Chick-fil-A wouldn’t give them a third sauce packet. Did you ever think maybe this person was doing their best in a sauce-deprived world?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good News!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, and the misunderstanding could be solved if the leads had one 5 minute conversation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good News!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The latter is Lifetime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good News!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just add her falling in love with (and then subsequently blowing up?) a man in a flannel shirt and I think you could talk hallmark into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good News!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow how dare you? Big city career woman goes home to small town for the holidays and falls in love with her childhood sweetheart and dumps her evil fiance who worked on Christmas, big city career woman who swore off men falls in love and surprise! he’s actually the prince of a small but wealthy English-speaking country in Europe, and big city career woman goes home to small town for the holidays and saves one of the local businesses from foreclosure and falls in love with the owner who is also hot Santa are totally different stories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This world is cruel…⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think there’s necessarily anything wrong with that, it’s just not going to be compatible with everyone. I would never date anyone who didn’t prioritize travel at least a little, but that’s definitely not universal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This world is cruel…⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Fun” fact, this is actually why my mom has no interest in camping as an adult. Her family was homeless a lot when she was a kid and her mom disguised it as a fun extended camping trip. The kids bought it for the most part, because the family really did camp for fun, and they were used to fishing for dinner and things, but she said as she got older, she realized things like the month long trip in November were because they lost their housing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This world is cruel…⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It could also just be women thinking, “I’d like to visit _____ when I’m able, I want my partner to go with me.” Working in a passport office, I’ve met a shocking number of men who have never left the US (or sometimes even the state) by choice. Then their wife or girlfriend wants to go to Mexico or something, and they come in talking about how they’re only doing it for her and they’d never travel if it was up to them.

  Anyway, I’d consider traveling one of my hobbies even though I can’t afford to do it often - plenty of time is spent planning and looking at things to do, so it goes beyond just the few days of the trip.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing I disagree with is that he finds being president stressful. He’s both incredibly stupid and lazy, so I don’t think he really even gives a shit about what his staff is doing as long as they keep jerking off his ego and don’t interrupt his golf and McDonald’s time. He’s likely not even aware of most of it, except whatever gets fed to him to post on social media.

  Man, we gotta pump those numbers up. Get our bite force on the next level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mine's a Juicer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of ours gets stuck on the 3 different sets of measuring cups. Why do we have 3 full sets? No one knows!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches an old concert video⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And I had horrific, untreated anxiety and depression. Fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vinegar⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The vinegar situation where I am atm has kind of made me more depressed? Some of it is straight up ass, and the salt & vinegar chips have been pretty terrible across the board. I love vinegar, too, so I’m very sad. Maybe the vinegar has to taste good to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I feel sick every time I go out to eat with my gf?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe she’s poisoning you just a tiny bit at a time. Kidding, but have you guys eaten a meal at home together without you feeling sick?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kevin's a lady's man⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well in that case, can Kevin sleep with me?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hope you don't have any plans this evening.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost 9pm where I am and there’s no sign of it. Jesus better hurry his ass up if he wants to be on time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is assasin's creed origins good?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoyed it. It’s definitely a different feel than previous AC games, so if you go in hoping for that, you might be disappointed. I think it’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you can get it on sale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Francis Ford Coppola: ‘Megalopolis’ cast purposefully includes ‘canceled’ actors⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Christ he’s insufferable. Casting abusers and assholes isn’t edgy or interesting, it’s just obnoxious. Then again, everything I’ve heard about this movie seems like Coppola was too busy sniffing his own farts to make something people might actually want to watch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨children⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, my teachers would’ve been pretty concerned if I couldn’t spell July in 4th grade (instead they were like, “she’s super book smart but holy shit she has zero social skills,” on all my report cards). But I guess you never know what else was going on. I have a friend with a learning disability who is smart but still can’t spell even as an adult. Some of my other friends are way smarter than me and spelling just isn’t their strong suit for whatever reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes but the post title is what I was responding to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No kidding. I’m apparently the only person who has ever had an amicable divorce where we just realized we weren’t compatible and never felt the need to bash each other. The post-divorce crowd can be pretty dire. They should mandate a certain number of therapy sessions before you can sign up for a dating app.
