I’m glad my employer said, “you’ve been working hard. I comped you a day so you can rest and recover.”, the last time I wasnt feeling well (allergies got the best of me and I was a mess). Even though I’ve accrued nearly 2-weeks of sick time at this point.

I’m fortunate that I don’t work for a shitty company anymore.

Our biggest offender would, but they’re currently serving a 3-day ban for Sealioning (public mod logs are awesome).

Ughhhhhhhhh. Sorry, but I need to rant.

Those fuckers are so fucking sensationalist. They use the same simple-mined tactics as right-wing propaganda mills. A 20 minute video of theirs could be condensed into 5 without those tactics and actually do far more to push forward their “law based coverage”.

I quickly put them in the “not worth the sensationalist propaganda” bucket after watching a handful of their videos

I’m not surprised.

Have you seen the scammers on other social media platforms? MLM schemes, love scams, charging a fuck-to of money to teach people how to write entry letters to casino sweepstakes for “free” online casino coins.

I can only imagine what a place that starts with gathering together people that view life as a zero-sum game develops for scamming and ripping people off.

Shouting “were not fascists!” while doing facist things, does not stop you from being fascists.

I’m unfortunately terrible @ audio-over work. I know from successive failures and attempts using various tools over the years.

I really want somebody to do some audio overs of things Trump is saying lately with a baby wailing and crying.

Waaah. Waaah. It’s too laaaate. Waaah.

Off-topic comment.

I appreciate the misuse of isle instead of aisle. The mental imagery of navigating around stores compromised of isles makes me want to go shopping so I can go on an island hopping adventure looking for booty to haul back to my kingdom.

I have mixed. The impulse control sucks as well as forgetting comments. I’ve come up with some mechanisms to help me remeber from notes, making a fist and holding up a finger for each thing I want to say, etc. Sometimes my comments/questions are answered if I wait too. I sometimes still forget. However, the urge to grip my hands together and claw at the skin on my hands is very real if I resist the impulse to jump in or rush the person to their point.

It’s the impulse control and anxiety & frustration that builds from not giving in to the impulse that’s the challenge. That’s if you’re aware of the issue that if you do give in to the impulse you will likely come off as a dismissive asshole, and probabaly even condescending.

This shouldn’t be our responsibility to “fix”.

It isn’t? I’ve been using the term since I picked up my first Android phone in 2010 and there were side-loaded apps everywhere. Hell, you used to have to side-load the Amazon Store app. And that was all just “download this apk and install it” Workflows.

ITT: Witnessing somebody learning what sideloading is and isn’t as technical as they think it is.

Premature optimization is the root of all evil.

Stasher silicone storage bags (which these appear to be, or at least their non-NA counterpart brand) are PFAS and PFC free.

Surprise! You’ve been acquired by Amazon!

1. OP mentioned this also happened outside in the parking lot and was implying active blocking.

2. There’s ways for stores to work with telecoms to get service broadcast inside the warehouse/building as well to get around the natural passive blocking from the building materials.

I was well aware of the difference between active and passive blocking.

This is more likely a coverage issue than Walmart illegally blocking wireless signals (per to FCC regulations).

Report the coverage issue to Verizon and your local Walmart. Both of which will want to increase coverage of where people are gathering. This is because if bad coverage areas are in places where people gather this will cause affected people to switch services or stop going to those gathering areas if there’s alternatives.
