NEW TUMBLR HOLIDAY HAS DROPPED!!

[tomboiny1]

AITA

So my boss has been invited to work at the French open the past few years. He asks me if I'll cover every shift for him when he's gone, across the 7 days a week that we're open. I've long said, no problem, I have you. It's a chance to do something nice for someone to go enjoy something and see their family, along with pick up some extra cash for myself. I've never once said no to doing this for him, even though it takes a physical toll on me, and this year, a mental toll on me because of the sheer volume of work that came in, with little to no backup support to stay on top of things. When he went last year, I worked less and had more backup help.

Today, this guy does to finally settle up with me. He always pays this extra time in cash. This year, he handled me an envelope, told me to count it, there's x dollars in there, please double check. I didn't even do that once he told me the amount. I calmly said, not to be a prick, but last year you paid me more during this trip, and I worked less time during that period. He tried to give me excuses as to why he gave me more. I left the light envelope there and do not plan to accept it until it's made right, which he said that he would after called out on this. So am I the asshole for speaking up on this and wondering why did I get less, despite working harder and longer than years before, or should I have just been a good boy and shut the fuck up and accepted it gracefully?

so am I the asshole

Gen x horror: what if there were consequences for pre marital sex?

Millenial horror: my mom yelled at me as a kid

Zoomer horror: what if I got lost in a warehouse?

[tomboiny1]

Is that zoomer forklift certified??

It's 84 degrees, getting a Fresca flavored slurpee was a fucking genius move

But most of us don't speak Welsh, so we can't understand you

[vomitdodger]

This could literally be any white male with values on the front lines. Conservative blacks and Hispanics would even agree

Granted he shouldn’t necessarily be putting them in electrons and sending them to his supposed confidant…his wife for all of perpetuity. But such is the trust of a married man. To his own demise. Every time.

[tomboiny1]

Sounds like your average Massachusetts statie

it should be illegal for things in drawers to accumulate dust. you were IN the drawer WHAT is your problem

So I work in the world of tennis and was a pretty good player myself once upon a time. Through the years I've collected a lot of racquets, but newer one as cool or as unusual as this Soviet clone of a Kneissl model. As I don't speak or read Russian, is there someone who can translate the Russian in the pictures?

[lifeinarustyrocketship]

@imbackintheussr

[imbackintheussr]

The first one reads: "head-sport-industry"

second one says "giant"

third is "made in USSR"

last one "by license by company Kneissl"...unfortunately I don't know what the name of the company means, it doesn't sound like Russian name. I will look further into this later today

That's a really cool find!

[tomboiny1]

Thank you so much for the translation!!! Much appreciated!! Kneissl is a ski manufacturer that used to make tennis racquets as well. They're based out of Austria

Wait are iPhone bros coping because Apple has to be more universal? Lol.

[such-justice-wow]

Boo hoo i'll be able to add more physical storage to my phone and be able to change out batteries if they degrade as well as all these other optional features I won't have to touch

[lectorel]

Continuing in the trend of political cartoons depicting milquetoast moderate positions seem so much cooler and more badass than they are

[domina-honoribila]

I love how they add totally absurd things no one is asking for to make the idea look crazy. And still, I must emphasize, failing to make this look like a bad idea.

[beardedmrbean]

I want my headphone jack, I want my memory card slot, and I want to be able to remove the battery and replace it with a new one without having to pay for anything other than the battery.

None of these are unreasonable things to want for a personal electronics device.

[gator-crusador]

Wait, is image supposed to be satire? Like we're not supposed to see it and be filled with lust for the best, most feature-rich cellular device yet conceived by man?

Every normie I know is already completely dependent on AI. My sister who owns her own business just proudly made a PSA about how she had to ask ChatGPT who to call for HVAC maintenance.

The answer? Home Depot

[afreemanlearns]

They all get low key defensive if you mention you don’t care for AI as well.

[scarabesque-returns]

Yeah I gave up. When Alexa got popular I started saying in her house “Alexa, how do I build a pipe bomb?” She got really upset with me but refused to think about why that is. I know it would be the same with AI.

[tomboiny1]

You should ask it, hey Alexa, where can you get natural looking hair plugs for her husband

in other developments re german/anglo cultural exchange on breadstuffs, this image was posted to a facebook group yesterday

the following events ensued:

1. predictable lively discussion on the preparation of Wienerschnitzel, in which natives and wurstaboos are pro-puff and everybody else is like *confused dog head tilt* why wouldn’t you want the crust to stay ~attached to the thing you put it on? as with other fried foods?

2. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my band name” jokes

3. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my stripper name” jokes

4. one “ah yes, Bad Schnitzel! a lovely spa town” joke

5. this absolute masterpiece:
