“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.

Everyone involved should go to prison for a very long time. I know fentanyl dealers probably aren’t concerned with human life in the first place, but operating a daycare as a front is beyond fucked up.

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.

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 don’t really know enough to have an informed opinion, but the first thing that came to mind is the news articles I’ve seen that Uttar Pradesh is very unfriendly towards women. There is an article that just got posted in the news community today that is pretty horrifying.

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 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.

Never mind the issues with dehydration, I could not be alone with my thoughts for that long.

A few days ago. It was my dog’s 14th birthday. She passed away in May though.
