I’ve only had this a couple of times but omfg was it salty as hell. Granted, it was not in Canada, and I’d hope the “real thing” is less.. horrible..

They got pissed that you weren’t as desperate as they thought you were when they rejected everyone else in favor of you, and wanted more info to weed people like you out earlier in the future. Or to pressure you into changing your mind; that would suit their desires equally well, being pressure-able or desperate are basically the same for employers.

At least that’s my assumption. I’ve had similar experiences turning jobs down that I just didn’t want after talking to several people, or hearing more about the job, and they all get upset about it. But they certainly won’t be changing anything, so it’s not like there’s a valid reason to demand an explanation.

Whenever that happens, I just tell them “I’ve explained myself sufficiently, and I don’t work for nor do business with your company. I thus have no compelling reason to continue interacting with you, particularly for something you want me to give you that comes at a time and effort cost to me.” I bid them farewell, and am prepared to block/ignore them if they send me anything else. I chose the phrasing to be direct, and let them know it was a wildly inappropriate ask, while still being reasonably professional. I have never gotten a follow-up after that.

I don’t use it sparingly and I also have a jar of bacon grease.

The day I learned to put a coffee filter or paper towel in the jar under the lid ring to filter the hot oil? Game changer.

My grocery store carries “bulk bacon” which is packs of low quality fatty bacon that’s great for cooking. I buy that sometimes and the grease off a pound fills a pint jar about halfway, sometimes more.

The stairs to my basement have uneven rises, and they are super sucky to use, and so I absolutely believe that people died a lot from them. The best part is, there’s no way to make them even due to where the landings/door clearances are.

The stairs to the second floor also narrow to a point to get around a corner, so they are sort of triangular.. I slip on those fairly regularly.

How this 1880s house hasn’t yet killed me is a mystery.

I watched an interesting video the other day that purports to answer that question.

The way this dude describes his medical issues.. could have been me, tho mine are slightly different.

(Tl;dw - it’s stress and anxiety from always being on, masking, and failing to fit properly)

Cheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.

It looks like something right out of parasite eve as well (tho with much better texture and stuff)

For sure, the cringe of the office is unbearable, and I have no idea who you named.. other than knowing they were in the show..? I tried so hard to try to like it that sucks so hard to have people all like “no but give it time!” …bitch.. I did give it time.. I even tried the UK version and it’s the exact same thing with different people.

Same with always sunny (sans UK version, I doubt that exists.. it wouldn’t translate..).. I can’t get past the first impression, the gang gets racist… like ok, this clearly has nothing for me..?

Maybe it does, but I’ll never honestly be able to get past the start to know (other than memes, I know many of those bits)

More that you can’t, but hey, sure! Whatever makes you happy!

[–] ApathyTree 9 points 1 month ago

Hey thanks, I didn’t realize! Two years is a long time on such a new platform and I’m super here for it!

[–] ApathyTree 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I love literally everything about this announcement.

I want to try other fedi platforms but have MAJOR inertia thanks to apps.

So I’m fucking thrilled the one I prefer also wants to prefer all the things

Brb ima spin up an account. I fucking love you voyager, and everything your team does (I assume it’s a team? If not I love you very specifically. Yes you. I love you.)

[–] ApathyTree 2 points 1 month ago

That’s exactly it, and where I stopped because omfg who does that..???

Nobody with normal human motivations, that’s who.
