I'll just put this fire over here with the other fire...

A guy who wants to creep is not going to be stopped by a sign.

Maybe he will sit at a table and track who goes in and out of women's room and wait till there is no one in there, to go to "the wrong door by accident" and hide in stall.

A sign won't stop them. Punishment will...if you experience that report it. Get them arrested. If they try to make it physical punch scream kick scratch.

Its like locking your car doors. A car thief is likely to just break the window. Or just steal your catalytic converter.

It makes you feel safe but doesn't prevent crime.

So many job applications suck...i tried to fill out one with a required "social media link" but didn't have any place to enter one. It had "LinkedIn url" and the next line was a text box, it had "github url" and the next line was a text box, it had "social media link" and the next line was just a submit button... There was literally no box to enter a social media url. I tried chrome, Firefox and Vivaldi because the job seemed good with good pay but literally impossible to apply to.

Nevermind I don't know why you need LinkedIn, github, and social media links to evaluate me as an employee but atleast give me a way to enter the data you want.

I worked in a heavily regulated industry. Everything required a manual test. Let's say you have an employee ID that is 10 digits long which they use to log in. You had to have some else (couldn't be the developer) to write a series of tests, get those tests approved by 5 people(with specific titles) then a third person to execute the test, then the second person had to write a report saying it all passed, then that report had to be approved by the same 5 people.

That typically wasn't the delay. The delay was to execute the tests we needed to stop production. That typically was a 6 week wait(unless urgent for "reasons") and changes like "I will drop scrap by 83%" was typically told wait till July 4th or Christmas breaks. Why? Because production would be down for 3-4 days typically. Someone had to start the system, ok no entry produces error, executor and developer have to sign a physical paper, restart the whole system, now an entry of 1 digit produces an error, sign the form, repeat for all digit quantities up to 9, repeat for all digit quantities up to the choosen value(based on severity if an issue occurred), 2 people sign for each one, system restarted between each. If you had say an enter button and a cancel button each had to be checked for each quantities of digits. Oh but wait what if someone just types there name... Now repeat everything for alphabet values... What if someone does combination, more tests, more restarts, more signing.

Reports easily surpassed 1000 pages, no one really had time to check all that so I saw so many missed signatures and missed tests. I asked the "senior validation expert" can I just automate a lot of these tests using unit tests and attach a computer generated report of all tests passing and the source code of the tests? " the response I got was" what's a unit test? "they still don't use any of them to my knowledge.

I always thought about what it would be like to work at the unemployment office... Get fired... Next day you have to go back and be like "good morning Sheila, can I get a copy of form 2431-b please?"

Obviously this is rediculous but imagine if by chance the Huff Post reporter's mother was actually a senior international politics negotiater...

Like Karoline says "your mom" and the reporter is like "that's rude and unprofessional". Karoline then replies "no, you misunderstand. Your mom, Mary, was the main negotiater at the table for the USA. She did a fantastic job. She didn't tell you?"

I had a job doing that but I quit... It was "soda pressing"

I have no love for Microsoft but their naming is one of the worst parts... Let's make a game console! We'll call it Xbox!... That sold well let make another! We'll call it xbox360... Time for a refresh on the gaming console! We'll call it Xbox one... Another refresh but this time let's make two versions! We'll call them Xbox one series s and x box one series s!

Or our popular ide is bloated and people are asking for a light weight ide... What's our current ide called? Visual studio but alot of people abbreviate it to vs! Let's call the new one vscode! Do they have anything in common or share functionality or shortcuts? No

Don't get me started on windows.. 3.1... 95...nt...98...2000...me...vista...7...8....10...11 like wtf???

The other day I wanted to know when the first day of summer officially was. So I searched "first day of summer 2024"...before it would give me a big bold answer(June 20tg if anyone is curious)... Now I got a full page of car ads for model year 2024

This is actually a cool idea. Have an experienced dm in the house, have a website where people sign up (1 person upto a full party, or you can join other people's parties if they mark it as public. ). Have a one off campaign with the group, have some food and maybe a few light drinks, 3-4 beds for people. Charge $150-$200 per person per night... I could see it working. Say 4 times a months, parties of 5, that's $3000 a month. Could probably pay mortgage and the food and drinks. Make it every Friday, Saturday and Sunday... That $9000 a month, easily cover expenses in a major city and probably afford the dm a comfortable life...

I hired a exorcist but then my credit card got declined... I got reposessed.
