What does shaking your ass at a private party have to do with your academics? This is the dumbest situation. This poor girl.

I think caring what happens to the world at large is a pretty big emotional burden to carry.

It’s disgusting cops are victim blaming a literal 6th grader for being preyed on, but not at all surprising unfortunately.

For fucks sake. I hope her family calls the ACLU.

I work in worker’s compensation and am pretty familiar with Amazon’s (lack of) safety practices and this does not surprise me in the least. My state recently ordered Amazon to pay a bunch of fines for willfully skirting safety rules, but even $85,000 in fines is nothing compared to the money they make because of skirting those laws in the first place.

“Do we have any pineapple at home?” is our safe word for social situations when one of us needs a reason to leave a situation or change the conversation because they’re uncomfortable. I detest pineapple.

The worst typo I ever made was texting my friend who is a Black woman that she needed a bigger TV. Unfortunately the b & n are right next to each other on the keyboard and I wrote one of the most offensive words ever. Even though it was an innocent mistake, I apologized profusely to her.

People talking about wanting to lose weight or dieting. It’s one thing to say “I’m going to skip dessert because I’m watching what I eat” but more often than not, it turns into this dark, self hating thing, e.g. “I gained so much weight over the holidays, I can’t believe I’m up to X lbs, I look so ugly.” Women especially seem to bond over these conversations and it makes me really uncomfortable and sad to be honest.

I’m also a millennial with a similar experience in my first job in 2004 or 2005, except instead of racial jokes, it was jokes about boobs, sexist rumors about another coworker moonlighting as a stripper, unwanted touching, etc, and when I reported it, I was told to “grow up” by my supervisor.

I live in a state with transparent salary laws and this argument that posting the salary range isn’t deceptive is laughable. If that were true, why wouldn’t they be transparent and make it clear it’s a salary range and not a hiring range? The fact is, most people searching for a job are most interested in what they would be earning when they’re hired, not a theoretical wage 5, 10, or 15 years in the future.

It appears to be a public high school.

Social worker is pretty high on the list. Most are overworked, underpaid and treated poorly by their management, their clients, or both.

But he mentors other actors! And he doesn’t take drugs!

I really don’t know what either of them were thinking. Rapists don’t need leniency, especially in this situation.

This is beautiful! I would be so touched if my partner went to all this trouble to make me something like this.

I didn’t realize the vaccine conspiracy theory community moved on to dogs, but I guess it’s not really surprising. Follow the advice of your vet, not your weird uncle’s Facebook posts.

I have the most embarrassing quirk when I drink. I get super emotional and start giving out hugs to people I would never hug sober.

What in the actual fuck? Calling this deeply disturbing would be an understatement. Time to unsubscribe from news for a little while so my soul can heal.

I don’t have any direct experience, but I wanted to say I’m so sorry for your loss and however you decide to work through your grief (individual vs group counseling, books, etc) remember healing takes quite a bit of time and effort, and it’s not linear. You will make progress and then one day you may feel like it’s day one. That’s normal. You just have to keep at it. Best of luck.

I would go home sick for the day and take a nap, then show up for the interview well-rested. Caffeine will make you feel more alert for a short while, but it won’t really help your brain.

You want a functional resume, which focuses more on skills rather than work history. I know a CV isn’t the exact same thing as a resume, but it’s similar enough that if you searched “functional resume examples” you would have a good starting point. You can always include skills that you obtained through education/hobbies/volunteer activities too.
