I don't give a shit if lunch is supposed to be on "my time," companies should be paying for every minute you're there. Lunches should be part of the 8 hour workday because dedicating 9 hours just to be paid for 8 is bullshit.
This was me. Not that I was racist in any way, but I was brought up with a father that absolutely did not (still does not) think that systemic racism existed, that wokeness was damaging, really that any issues the left focused on were mindless and stupid and damaging.
I went into my first sociology class with that kind of mindset, and the moment I actually started doing research for papers, I realized how wrong I was.
Really the only people who rail against "woke" education are the ones who haven't gone to college (my dad) or those making money and power from the grift.
Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....
I more and more believe that religion should be treated like a mental illness.
If you told people that you heard voices in your head, they'd put you on meds. If you tell them Jesus spoke to you they'll put you in charge of a country.
I let my baby smoke a fat joint to try to get to sleep, but it didn't work. He just kept wanting to eat and wouldn't shut up about the federal legalization of marijuana.
Not anymore. Not when your revenue is dependent on people seeing ads. The further they scroll, the more ads they see. So they shove a bunch of garbage fluff in the first few paragraphs to keep people scrolling.
I do this shit all the time. When I'm watching movies, I'll notice inconsistencies or little mistakes in production, I'll hear sound bytes that have been used across media. Like, I noticed just yesterday that Memoirs of a Geisha (movie) uses the same seagull soundbyte as the start of the SpongeBob opening song. And I was just sitting on my phone, not paying attention.
I'm definitely a mix of both, because I have some impulsive tendencies with big, exciting decisions. And stuff like this is helping to convince me that I may need to see a doctor about it for some help managing it.

My laptop just updated (windows 11) and they now put bullcrap tips, weather, and stocks cards on the lock screen if you want to use the daily landscape images.
Love the landscape images, but those cards are now not optional. Fucking moronic and I need to just get off windows entirely.
THAT'S WHY IT GOES DARK IN THE VIEWER WHEN YOU TAKE THE PICTURE.
Honestly, I have no idea how I didn't realize this, but I always thought it was the shutter closing during a photo that caused it to go dark. No idea why I thought that, because it doesn't make any sense.
I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I'm surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I'm prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I'm the only one.

Inequality is a complicated mess of systems that have been operating in a certain way for so long, that it all feels normal. And for those in a position of privilege, it feels like it's operating in the best way it could. They literally can't see past it without a ton of effort, research, and analysis.
What they can see is that someone gets a taller ladder and they think that's unfair without being able to see that the taller ladder still doesn't give that person equal access to resources and they started in a hole in the first place.
Prenups. Prenups should be standard for all marriages. Protects pre-marriage assets, determines how assets are split, and leaves little room for long, drawn-out divorce processes.
You can make those rational decisions when you're happy and rational, rather than when you're emotional.
Imagine being such a persecuted group in America that you get to blast spam mail to everyone in your community in the name of religion with no repercussions.

I've been going back and forth with my physician and the insurance company for a month and a half trying to get a refill on medication before I run out. This has me so angry that I want to literally beat the fuck out of the insurance "physicians" that are denying my meds. They are absolutely the scum of the earth and I hope hell exists just for them to suffer.
This whole system is a goddamned scam and I can't believe anyone defends it.
