  • You gain an extra level of deniability if you dont ask. Also its about how its received by the interviewee. If i ask how your summers going and you offer up you have 5 kids, thats different than me asking if you have kids. If i bring up your family situation or kids, the natural question arises, “why would he care about that?” And it can guide the mind to discrimination. People are aware of the fact that having kids have a preception in the corporate world, and if they dont want that to influence the process, theyre not going to offer it up. But just like anything, if someone wants to file a frivolous law suit, theyre going to find a way


  • Not in HR, but am involved in the hiring process. We are not allowed to ask personal questions. Cant talk about family or personal background. If i ask a question about someones family and they tell me they have 5 kids, and they dont get the job because we found a better candidate, they have a clear and obvious path to file a discrimination case.

    “I didnt get hired because they knew i had 5 kids and they assumed I wouldn’t be able to dedicate time to the company yada yada.”

    " i told them that my religion was xyz and they knew my religious holidays dont align with their holiday schedule and they didnt hire me because they didnt want to make new policy to allow me my time and give me my protected right to religion"

    Its just easier to not


  • One of my coworkers does ultra marathons, once did 100 mile run, straight thru the mountains. Hes won boston qualifier marathons. Dude is a machine. But he shows up to those short races too. His favorite is the mile. Theyre not there to compete with people who are there just to complete, theyre there because they fucking love to run and want EVERY opportunity to run. Its not about “you,” its about them.



  • I dont know if your location in canada is similar, but i know the mega churches (and some smaller churches) around me have an open door policy and allow anyone to be in their lobby to use their internet during the daylight hours. Some even provide coffee and snacks all day.

    Dont know if thats any sort of option for you, and you might have people from the church approaching you at times, but maybe it could have worked out?


  • My buddy once had an epic hydroponic set up going in his garage. One day the garage door went up for some reason. Guess someone saw it and called the cops. They went full on raid of his garage only to find some of the best fucking vegetables in the city. He said they were actually visibly upset that he only had veggies

    Just look at this thread. How many people in this thread are acting superior to her because she has an only fans or because of some other stupid reddit reason. The people are acting “high valued” and superior even if they dont say it. She’s literally using this comment to tell readers that these peoples opinions have no influence on her life, and all its doing is making them more upset. To me, that’s why this comic is funny

    Just look at this thread. People are out in force acting superior to her and putting her down for having an only fans. Theyre providing unsolicited feedback, acting “high valued” without even realize theyre doing it. This comic is showing how she sees the unsolicited feedback from these people on the internet, and calls it out as it is, inconsequential to her life. And what do those very same people do? Get even more upset.

    Frankly, i knew nothing about this lady before this thread happened. It’s been a wild ride for me to follow





  • But the comments do matter?

    The stock market traded on speculation of future value, not current value. If tesla increases profit by $1M , their market cap doesnt increase by $1M. It increases or decreases by the speculative future value.

    If protestors are going to be prosecuted, the perceived value of the company increases because theyre will be less negative press.

    It also leads to, "what else is the president going to do to help musk’s company? " and that list is endless, and speculation runs wild.

    Fuck gender norms. Im a man who wants to be a stay at home dad who’s more than comfortable with the fact that my wife makes more money than me.

    I also take the “mild fever” as what its supposed to be. I dont take medicine because im a “tough guy,” i dont take medicine because i let my body heat up to kill what ever is inside of me thats not supposed to be there. I let science run its course because thats gonna make me feel better sooner.

    Had a fever this week. Sweated it out over night, slept all day the next day, fully functioning the day after that.
