In "at will" states in the US, you can be fired without cause and without notice. So do your homework before you decide not to follow company policy.

I have a friend who works for a library. They still offer this service. I don't think anyone under the age of 70 has used it in some time.

"You can't even tell a coworker that you think she's cute any more!"

My brother in Christ, the new intern doesn't need comments on her looks from someone who is (1) higher than she is on the org chart and (2) older than her actual father. Just stop.

If you wouldn't say it to a male coworker, don't say it to any coworker. It's not that hard.

I have definitely worked jobs where I know more than the IT department, and that's scary.

Five-year-old Nicki really wishes her staunchly Republican family had been exposed to this deep wisdom when she grew up on a farm.

Bathing was my least favorite thing at that point in time, yet I was still expected to do it daily.

Do you think she'll "admit" that she "faked" Trump's contribution to the birthday book?

I have said for a long time that the number of bisexual people must be huge. All of these right-wingers seem to be equally attracted to men and women, so they're obviously bi and choosing to ignore part of their own sexuality.

There's some nuance not present on this map.

In some places, the age of consent listed on the map only applies if the older partner is reasonably close in age to the younger one.

In Kentucky, for example, the age listed is 16. However, there are age-based restrictions that stipulate that a 16-year-old is not legally capable of consenting to a sexual relationship with someone more than 10 years older.

Other states require closer age gaps of maybe 3 or 4 years for 16-year-olds.

That was my first thought as well.

Same here. Lemmy at this stage feels a lot like Reddit did when I joined back in the early 2000s.

I'm glad I made the switch, because things are just generally nicer in a smaller community.

They already have 6 kids, so their genes are highly likely to carry on.
