  • No, they’re for you as the user only.

    I mostly use them to 1) track interesting people like there’s a guy on here who’s a Jellyfin Roku app developer. I don’t remember his name, but pay attention to his comments when I see his tag. 2) people who are bad faith trolls whose usernames I won’t remember but don’t want to get sucked into investing time answering their questions when they’ll just be racist asshats in response.

    A company I used to work for that made some equipment primarily used in laboratory settings wanted some photos for marketing materials. Me, being the only lady engineer there, was asked to be in them. Hair, makeup, lab coat even though I was on the machine shop floor for my day-to-day job, the works. They couldn’t find a male engineer they considered photogenic enough so they asked the cafeteria manager, aka the janitor with additional duties to keep the coffee pots brewing and napkins on order. They even gave him fake glasses to make him look more studious. He did make for a way sexier scientist than I did. Straight up grey fox science man. He watched enough House MD to spout good fake medical lingo, making me laugh too hard thru the entire shoot.






  • Tron. It ends with tossing out the one before and letting Jared Leto get his stink all over it.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe should have stopped sometime before Phase 4 (Eternals, Black Widow, Wakanda Forever, Multiverse of Madness).

    The Matrix should have ended at 1.

    The Jason Bourne movies should have ended when Jason Bourne’s story was concluded, without extending it to Aaron Cross’s story, played by Jeremy Renner.


  • I use Drip for basic cycle tracking. I don’t use it for fertile phase tracking so no comment there.

    For cycle tracking, it does what it needs to do. It’s easy enough to setup and completely forget what tracker/spyware I used to use. Heck, I think it was Flo I used to use.

    And f-droid or another alternative app stores not mandatory, Drip is on the Google Play store at least. Not sure about Apple.


  • Woof. I had a neighbor like this at the last place I lived. One series of signs pre-2024 election was how his son couldn’t get a job or a wife because of the “immigrants stealing his jobs”. Ouch, how would you like your parents posting signs on the street about how you can’t get a job or laid. Multiple signs across the yard and ofc a flagpole with the Thin Blue Line variant flying.


  • Fire offenders, fire leaders that cover for them, and don’t hide the reason from employees that remain. Make examples of them succinctly and professionally.

    We had a known offender for years, the whisper campaign was strong. He was finally encouraged to leave following “performance issues”. All that did was signal to remaining offenders that if they do a good enough job keeping it quiet, they won’t even be fired if they’re caught, just allowed to exit quietly. And knowing that guy and some of the men he worked for, they probably gave him recommendations for his next job.




  • Please don’t tell your boss about your mental health problems. Nothing good will come of it.

    I’m a boss and try to minimize my shittiness. I want my team members to take PTO for mental issues or whatever else they need but I do not want to know the details. That is for their own protection. If they need medical accomodations they should go through the formal channels, getting it properly documented so they have full legal protections. Anything other than that, sharing their personal medical information with me or anyone else at this Mega CorpTM is a bad idea for them. (US-based, think about your own country’s protections before considering this advice).

    Your boss sounds like an incompetent asshole. Even with a empathetic human boss though, don’t tell them the details of your personal issues.
