  • I laughed when I saw this. Like, it was a guy excited that his computer is working better, including with his printer. Maybe a teensy bit of punctuation I’d do differently, but whatever. It’s the Internet. Then suddenly “oh yeah sorry English isn’t my first language and I’m sure you can all see that”




  • When you’re being encouraged in a place that supplies your income and with that your livelihood, an “encouragement” becomes pressure.

    Similarly, my brother-in-law once bought a rather expensive gift for my father-in-law and asked if we wanted to pitch in for it. He’s truly a great person, we get along great, and if we said no I don’t think it would have been a big deal at all… But being the one who married into the family relatively recently, it’s a difficult thing to push back on. And that’s in the best case scenario with someone you know, love, and trust. We don’t know that OP has that same kind of relationship with their coworkers







  • Ok, Trump is a piece of shit and I’m not one to jump on the “uh, it was totally a joke!” train. That said…

    He said he wouldn’t be president in 2026 or 2028 in a conversation that occurred in his 2017-2021 term. His “then they rigged the election” comment is ambiguous, sure, but I think there’s a very reasonable argument that he’s saying “then the Democrats [or whoever] rigged the 2020 election so my second term is delayed 4 years”

    There is PLENTY wrong with what he said there, but I really don’t think “I won by rigging the 2024 election” hits the mark this time. We lost. It fucking sucks, but for the love of God don’t let us stoop to the “stolen election” level without even a half-baked bit of evidence.
