classic from last year that I can only share it today
Watch out for Wattpad
(Source here) They’re making a deal where your stores will be up for grabs to other companies. This is super sketchy since technically if they just take bits and pieces they most certainly wouldn’t need to tell you about it.
Please consider moving your stories to Ao3 which is a non-profit specifically put together to protect authors from crap like this and has a legal team that will fight for you when needed.
Ao3 even does easy imports, directions here.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE QUEEN FOR THIS
a tutorial on rescuing someone from an uncomfortable or dangerous situation
Damn. She did everything right. Yes, this is dangerous. But even a violent man is still human and can be outplayed. Predators rely on a pattern or routine. Disrupt the routine, and the predator freezes up. Once you disrupt them, don't give them time to develop a response. Be bold. Be decisive. Talk loud. Act fast.
How should I approach this as a man? I wouldn’t want to make her more uncomfortable but I also wouldn’t be able to physically intimidate anyone because I’m short and un-athletic.
Talking to the woman is going to be hit or miss, just because she won't know if you are an "out if the frying pan, into the fire" situation. BUT, you could still go with "thanks for waiting, you ready to go? Oh, who's this?" And if she walks with you, you can say that she looked uncomfortable. I had a guy once ask if I could help with his phone to get me away from a conversation. OR: talk to the dude. "Hey man, can you give me directions to this place? Don't I know you from somewhere?" Etc. Then she has time to escape. There are no set in stone answers, even if you don't handle it perfect, if she gets out of the situation safely, count it as a win
Thank you for the response!!
Talking to the dude works!
One of my colleagues spotted a woman facing slightly away from a man who was talking to her, who was scary close. She looked uncomfortable and made eye contact. He noticed the guy was wearing a Broncos jacket and nonchalantly passed them both by and started the sports speak to the dude, like "aw bro did you see the defense last night? Hell of a time to he a Bronco fan, right?" And stood slightly behind the guy so he had to turn away from the woman. She said a cheeky "I'm not into sports, g'night!" comment and slipped away to the elevator. The dude looked super pissed but just stalked away to his car.
What was he supposed to do, admit to bad intentions?
Sometimes you don't need to be the savior, but a distraction.
the starbucks union win isn’t without casualties though. a whistleblower was fired, which terminated her healthcare. she has cancer.

Why did I think anyone would like this?
please.
could always try having an actual lockdown for once
Even if the US government actually did try to do a real, effective lockdown and wasn’t just pissing in the wind of our fragmented nightmare of state and local governments, I’m entirely convinced it still wouldn’t work since this shithole country is full to the tits with literally the worst people the human race has ever produced who will fight every fucking public health ordinance put in place for their god-given right to yell at waiters and retail staff maskless. I mean where I live (California) a shitty little town near me just declared that it seceded from the state so they wouldn’t have to follow our (flimsy as fuck) state COVID regulations. The pure malignant narcissism of America ensures it will never be free of this fucking plague lmfao please get me the fuck out of here I despise it more than I can put into words.
I simply can’t stress enough how this pandemic is being indefinitely prolonged by America (and american manufacturers) hoarding vaccines. This could have been over now, but we refused to help India when they were in desperate need of vaccines, so the Delta variant popped up there. Then Pfizer tried to bleed South Africa dry of anything and everything valuable they have down there before doing anything to help the population, and now we have the Omicron variant.
And people in America still act morally superior for not taking the very vaccines they’ve been hoarding! Like jfc just have some compassion how fucking hard is it
Why the fuck did Amazon just send me and this one other guy in our building a free sample package of Coke Zero
Why
Hey guysssss I’d like to take a moment to talk to you all about this new product. Coke
There’s a real explanation! This is actually a SCAM called ‘Brushing’ to raise their ratings on amazon artificially. They create a fake account with a random real address, purchase the item themselves and mail it off and as it goes to a real address, random people get it.
Then they leave themselves a nice five-star review with the fake account. This sounds like a victimless crime, but this means your information is compromised, they have your account info, and possibly your credit card information, and can lead to people purchasing garbage because they believe the multiple verified five star reviews.
If you receive a random package you did not order, you should report it immediately to both Amazon and the Federal Trade Commission, change your password, and monitor your cards. You’re free to keep the package though.
It’s that time of year again.
Monitor your credit and debit cards regularly. Be wary of pop up sites offering deals too good to be true. If you get a package you didn’t order, investigate, be cautious, but US law also allows you to keep anything sent to you without obligation (you know, to prevent scams where people send you something you didn’t ask for and then sue you for an inflated purchase price).
Oh, and shop small / fuck Amazon if you are able.
Vestido croma:
Eating while on shift is not permitted, staff are told. “If the system detects no keyboard stroke and mouse click, it will show you as idle for that particular duration, and it will be reported to your supervisor. So please avoid hampering your productivity.”
A training video about the webcam system, seen by the Guardian, says it “monitors and tracks real-time employee behaviour and detects any violations to pre-set business rules, and sends real-time alerts to managers to take corrective actions immediately”.
Capitalism is so exhausting
Fuck this
This is insane.
Capitalism is so innovative /s
Hi! Want to completely fuck the keyboard-tracking system in the ass? Want to do it in a way that they literally cannot do anything about without disabling primary Windows functions?
Step 1: Open Notepad.
Step 2: Copy the following text, line for line, omitting only the --- that caps either end of it. --- Dim objResult Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Do While True objResult = objShell.sendkeys("{NUMLOCK}{NUMLOCK}") Wscript.Sleep (6000) Loop --- Step 3: Save this as whatever.vbs, put it somewhere you can access easily, and double click it when you start your computer.
What does this do?
This runs a very basic script, and every six seconds, your computer will double-tap the NumLock key (i.e., turn it on, and then off) in a single instant. This counts as a key-press, occurs with a key that shouldn’t affect most things that you’re doing, occurs with no gap between them even if it could affect things you’re doing, and should prevent this kind of BS from engaging. As an aside, this will also prevent your computer from automatically locking itself, so take that into account if you need to manually lock your computer when going to lunch or whatever.
Damn, Tumblr back at it. Now we got coders coming in to save the day.
Tumblr’s collective hate for capitalism is astounding every time but damn if I don’t love it
For all my call center readers.
the biggest lie i ever told & how my husband came to protect it
for years i have lived this lie telling everyone i am allergic to peanuts because i hate the smell of peanut butter and it makes me gag and makes my throat feel gross after eating it and so i don’t really like peanut butter that much but whenever i used to tell people i don’t like peanut butter they’d get all defensive like “peanut butter is amazing how do you not like it?!” and then i’d have to go into this whole thing to defend my taste buds.
but then i got tired of it and started telling people that i’m just allergic to peanuts because that way it’s not my fault that i hate the smell of peanut butter - it’s now like i’m a sad little baby who will never get to taste peanut butter ever in her life and everyone feels sad for me.
but the problem is that i really love peanut m&ms and so now i can only eat peanut m&ms when i’m at home in secret. the only person who knows my lie is my husband. and so at work this evening we had a small celebration for someone and they had peanut m&ms and i really wanted some but obviously couldn’t eat them in public because then people would know my peanut secret.
and so when we got home after work my husband tipped his jacket over and emptied his pockets and at least thirty or so peanut m&ms fell out of his pockets and he whispered, “i was sneakily accumulating them all night for you because i could see the pain in your eyes.”
and if that isn’t love then i don’t know what is.
It’s really awesome that there’s a type of videos online that’s just Eastern European guys finding evil holes in the woods.
