YOU - Why would anyone like it here?

SHIVERS - It's home.

In 38 years of life I have learned 1 thing;

If anyone is ever training you to replace them in a position and tells you 'its an easy job I don't do much' what this means is that you are about to spend six months to a year catching up on all the stuff they didn't do and sorting out the stuff they did poorly.

In related news I finally managed to finish un fucking my predecessor's lack of a filing system.

[hungrymilliek]

And if they start a sentence with "You're not supposed to do it this way but...", you're about to learn some shit to make OSHA go:

[systlin]

My job is literally in safety and emergency management and that phrase makes me break out in hives. Which is to say that you are entirely one million percent correct.

[bisquid]

Alternatively by 'an easy job where they don't do much' what they mean is that they've got so much unwritten knowledge and experience stored up in their heads that they *genuinely believe* it's an easy low effort job and then leave you with a learning curve like a rocket launch and frantically spawning spreadsheets of all the shit they know off by heart

[notgreengardens]

There is one scenario where "you are not supposed to do it this way but..." doesn't lead to an osha violation but to useful advice and it's when they teach you how to circumvent the bullshitry of your data management system that is as functional as a dying horse.

[arasaka-android]

they did this for no reason

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[plotholes-and-spellingerrors]

Is this post mature content, though? Or is there maybe something else that staff doesn't like about this post

[lakemojave]

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

love and light but I'm like this 🤏 close to just auto deleting any sex ed ask that comes in saying something like "I have regular AFAB anatomy btw." that doesn't mean anything. use your words.

[lesbian-stick-handling]

Interviews with hockey players are fantastic, because it is a complex game that can be spoken about at length, but during the intermission they'll find the Wettest player imaginable on the losing team and for thirty seconds they'll ask them things like "what do you need to do to get more pucks in the net?" And the player (panting, haunted behind the eyes) says something like "well, we've got to get them in there"

[notgreengardens]

And then there is keira

[shesnake]

also happy pride month to this banger

[lumsel]

Writing a twist that everyone predicts is no fun at all. That's predictable! But writing a twist that nobody predicts is dangerous as well-- that's a sign that it doesn't follow naturally from the story you've written. What you want is the middle ground: a twist that exactly one person predicts, and nobody believes them. We call this the cassandra factor.

[liarsblade]

Fanfiction is cool because you get to learn what other people's parents taught them the hymen is like

[liarsblade]

I know that I had somewhat unusually comprehensive sex ed but it still surprises me every time I'm reminded that some people genuinely think that losing your virginity is a capri sun kind of situation.

[spicypolls]

Do you feel your owl arousal in a place that is not your genitals?

Yes, on my face.

Yes, on my neck or throat.

Yes, on my chest or boobs.

Yes, on my ribs or upper stomach.

Yes, on my lower stomach or lower back.

Yes, on multiple of these at once.

Yes, on multiple of these (they vary).

Unsure

No, only on my genitals and adjacent organs.

No, I don't feel arousal at all.

I don't have body parts. (See Results)

Remaining time: 5 days 17 hours

[cuddle-figuring-out-herself]

Hoot hoot!

I want to be mad but this is an incredibly funny typo. My bad folks 😔

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.
