Ejh3k,

Let me tell you, 10 year old me in catholic school really thought he was on to some comedy gold when he realized this day and daily was some confusing shit.

Nobody ever laughed. Turned out, I’m not really funny.

Ejh3k,

Recently lost a manager. Actually, his boss got removed as well. It was like having two Christmases in two weeks. Now our shop and department operate much smoother and happier.

My manager never should have been hired. When I was informed they got the job I thought it was a joke. But I tried to help get the guy on his feet and make him a success, but he just didn’t have the brainpan for the job. It was beyond obvious. By the end, he was having constant outbursts, telling everyone to eat his dick, getting successive suspensions, blatantly lying to HR when there was irrefutable evidence against his statements.

When he put his two weeks in, he told some people that he might not leave. I told him I was making it my mission to ensure that he doesn’t not walk out that door. Thankfully, he left. But, both he and his girlfriend have reapplied to an entry level position that has opened up do to someone (the person who should have been hired in the first place but because our director wanted a person he could push around in place) being promoted into his position. He was never a good worker in the first place, and his girlfriend was even worse.

Ejh3k,

True

Ejh3k,

Any time I think about getting into a hobby, I am reminded of this video. Then I decide against the new hobby, usually.

Ejh3k,

LLM? Lunar Landing Module?

Ejh3k,

That’s the point.

Have you ever been accused of something that wasn’t true, yet you had no way to prove your innocence?

I’ll start. Teenage me driving up the street to hang out with friends at the mall and passed my younger neighbor and his mom. When I got back a couple hours later, the neighbor’s mom was livid - confronting me for the slight. I seriously had no idea wtf she was talking about and I couldn’t convince her otherwise.

Ejh3k,

Back in the day, I was stationed in South Korea when I was 18/19 years old. While it was legal for Koreans to drink by 18, US soldiers were expected to wait until they were 21. Soldiers 21 and over got ration cards in order to buy alcohol from the post’s shoppettes. I was never 21 in Korea, so I never got one.

One day the Criminal Investigation Division shows up and starts asking around about me. Sure I guess I was technically drinking underage on base, but I was legal once I left. And I hadn’t done anything else shady or dodgy, so I was getting a little concerned.

Turned out, I was being accused of buying liquor on base for cheap and then selling it to Koreans for profit because a bottle of real Jack Daniels was like $200 whereas I could have bought it for $20.

I told them that I couldn’t have bought it because I don’t have a ration card for alcohol. They didn’t believe me, but somehow it got cleared up down the road because I never heard another word about it. And I doubt it was mistaken identity because my height kinda precludes me from being misidentified, and the only other guy on the base that looked even remotely like me never got in trouble either and he was never questioned in the first place.

Ejh3k,

I wish they’d identify the fan. Fuck that guy.

Ejh3k,

At least all over social media. Let his bosses and customers learn about it and ruin his life.

Ejh3k,

That was an on purpose. Guy was warned about it, did it again. Fuck him.

Ejh3k,

As an edgelord child, I get it. But doing it, being reprimanded about it, and doing it again, ain’t no jumping to conclusions on this one. He was doing it on purpose.

Ejh3k,

So you screenshotted an ad, and posted it for free?

Ejh3k,

I always sign bibles I find in hotels I stay at. And honestly, fewer and fewer hotels have them.

Ejh3k,

I love when someone asks a specific question about a product, and some boomer comes in with “I haven’t received it yet”.

Ejh3k,

I don’t understand. OP can you help?

Ejh3k,

Happy to see someone else posted pickle juice. But I prefer pickle juice straight from the jar.

I Tried Reddit Again and it Sucks Now

I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it’s hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the...

Ejh3k,

I’ll pop in to search for something real quick, but once I get my answer, I’m out.

Ejh3k,

Reading through the comments is making me interested in the difference in transgendered people in cultures with gendering versus ones that keep it neutral.

Like if there are more trans in neutral cultures because gendering isn’t as important, and where gendering is cultural there are less due to an ingrainedness of it all?

Ejh3k,

That’s a wild take. What makes you say that about China?

Ejh3k,

Oh, so we are just going to completely ignore the long history of thai lady boys and them being a sign of status.

Ejh3k,

So are you going to adjust your statement about transgender being a western creation, or are you just going to keep being wrong?

Ejh3k,

My friend, a simple Google search of “historic transgenderism in Asia” brought up plenty of information.

This one has it dating to 1540.

Here’s a published paper on it.

I’m pretty sure transgenderism is nothing new throughout all of history in all parts of the world.

But to call it strictly Western is patently false.

And another one.

Ejh3k,

Oh, so because you were wrong, you are just down voting and walking away. Got it. That’s fine. Points aren’t points in lemmy. You can down vote with all your alts, I don’t care.

God run away into whatever corner you need to. I’m just really sorry that you were never taught that it’s okay to change your opinion when presented with facts.

Best of luck.

Ejh3k,

I’ve had my phone number since 2005. Since the jump I have been getting calls for Janet Juarez, looking to collect on some debts. I just got another one a couple weeks back.

Ejh3k,

It’s funny. This lawsuit is what got me to finally get rated. I have serviced connected tinnitus, rated 0%.

Ejh3k,

I’ve been driving 25 years now. I’ve owned an automatic once. And it was a 1988 jeep commanche that I bought for very cheap in 2017 and drove it for about two years.

I’ve driven plenty of automatics. Family members, wife, work, rentals, they all have auto. And it’s just so fucking boring.

Ejh3k,

No.

Raisin companies..WHY? why these wax type bags almost impossible to open or reseal? (lemmy.world)

Damn, it’s like they don’t want you to get at the raisins. There must be a better way… You either mutilate the bag and your fingers, or cut it with scissors (or a knife - not recommended lol) , either way can’t be resealed without additional apparatus

Ejh3k,

You ain’t got scissors or a knife? Or some tape or a twisty thing left over from a bag of bread?

Ejh3k,

I got into a reddit fight with someone claiming they never once tried to plug a USB in incorrectly. Another time I got down voted to hell because I asked someone why they go through so many pizza cutters. They claimed they went through like 7 in 3 years. Reddit was bad, but I miss the nostalgia of it. Too bad it only got worse and kicked off third party apps. .

Ejh3k,

Exactly.

Ejh3k,

This is the correct answer.

Ejh3k,

At what point do you consider something not an animal? Is it a size consideration? Like, you’d eat a hummingbird but not a chicken? Warm versus cold blooded? Is it vertebrae versus endoskeleton? Would you eat ants and crickets?

Because I get the whole no animal by products, but fermented foods are animal by products. Most breads have yeasts in it, those are animals. Beer and wine, same.

Ejh3k,

Fuck dark mode. White text on dark background hurts my eyes.

Ejh3k,

Perfect response. I not usually one who is made fun of for being bougie, but why not pay for an app that I’ve used for nearly a decade and can easily afford?

Ejh3k,

Never got the hype about Shirley Manson

Ejh3k,

Who asked you?

Ejh3k,

Yeah man. I was a sync for reddit user for like a decade. I don’t actually know, but my reddit account was more than a decade old, and I really only was a user on sync for as long as I can remember. Sync was reddit for me.

I happily paid for the app forever ago, and I reckon I’ll use lemmy much the way I did reddit. And I tried a bunch of the different FOSS clients and none of them are as clean and polished as Sync was or is now. Maybe that’s because I just got so used to sync? I don’t know. But I do know that at this point in time, paying 20 bucks a year to support a developer whose work I’ve enjoyed for a significant portion of my life is 100% worth it. And I can afford it.

I used to have to use open source software all the time. I used gimp for so long, I’m just glad I have a job now that I have free access to photoshop. Why? Because it’s fucking better! Because paying for a well refined product makes it easier to use.

So all these sync haters, keep hating. But now, I can highlight the haters so the next time I come across them I already know what they are about and how they are just haters.

Ejh3k,

Great job! 5 stars!

Ejh3k,

Gowalla was like foursquare

Ejh3k,

Found the pope.

Ejh3k,

What did happen to the band aqua?

Ejh3k,

The palm pre is still my favorite phone of all time.

Ejh3k,

I never said it did. I was just stating my love for a phone that was underrated and had a short, yet bright, lifespan.

Ejh3k,

Yeah, the potential for a medical place to hank this idea because it saves their techs 6 minutes a day each, ends up being millions a year, per company. OP is legit sitting on a billion dollar idea.

Ejh3k,

Seriously, delete the post. Document every step of the way. Let me know of you need angel investment money. This is a gold mine.

Ejh3k,

Those were the days. I always forget about HQ trivia. Won a bit of money off them and had a lot of fun. Rip

My ancestry.com experience in a nutshell (lemmy.world)

I don’t know if I’m just doing something wrong but I built my family tree and the website seems to have barely any information about my family at all. I found out more just checking out our national archives then what I found on this website. It’s maybe worth noting that I’m not in the US and it does appear to be...

Ejh3k,

That spooky family mystery is exactly why their family trees are all set to private.

Ejh3k,

I don’t think it ever hit my report. And if it did, it definitely hasn’t affected it in any significant manner because I have excellent credit currently.
