Mr. Grapes! posted:Oh it is delicious. I got fired from a teaching job because of some complete bullshit, where I refused to use some Brand New Phone App that is gonna REVOLUTIONISE LEARNING (just like the other 9 mandatory apps we hate). An app on your personal phone? I will never accept any work required program on a personal device. If they want me to use it, they must provide me with a work phone or laptop (my school does provide me with a laptop).

Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for being mad at my parents about this? reminded very harshly of the time my dad and stepmom tried to prank me when I was 14 by claiming they were getting a family phone plan and new phones for all three of us--my box contained a cardboard cutout of a phone. I have a very flat affect so I just, like, looked at it blankly for a moment and then went back to my room. they had the nerve to yell at me for not getting upset about it. those parents suck and I wish the kid good luck in their eventual estrangement process.

Everyone taking eng 101 or other mass lecture hall classes ended up having weekly quizzes using it. The software randomized the questions so students couldn't just copy off each other. However my friend and I discovered the answers were checked client side, and that when the quiz was generated it stored the answers in a plaintext temp file on your computer.

Half the time it’s basically a lovely wrapper around a better existing system. This has gotten particularly painful with covid tracing apps. Problem is these things are always outsourced to the shittiest possible people who design for exactly one use case and then disappear forever.

Ex's gf asks me why I broke up with her manquote:A full five years ago, I (26F) used to date (more like fwb) this guy we'll call M. While M was very nice, caring, and all that.. He just wasn't able to support me in other ways. An example would be that he couldn't drive at the time. I've asked why, no answer just doesn't want to. Another one would be I'd ask him if he wants to go out on a simple date to like Starbucks and he can't because all of his money went to weed. Eventually my car crapping out on the freeway and having to hear him say "I hope it all works out" instead of him trying to help me out was the last straw for me to realize I had no future with the dude.

the holy poopacy posted:How do I (29F) tell my partner (31m) that he is not as handy as he thinks he is? Some cultures, including mine, have an entire subset of toxicity around male handiness, as the male part of the entire gender roles thing. SilvergunSuperman posted:My car capped out on the freeway so I called my fuckbuddy who notably doesn't own a car, and when he couldn't help I knew it was over. Not that dissimilar to this, really. He's male, he's supposed to drive, own a car or be resourceful enough to source one quickly if his damsel in distress needs help. What's the point of him otherwise?

SMEGMA_MAIL posted:Absolutely this^ It's very easy to load spyware into these apps and becoming very popular to do so. Right, and that's a good point. My perspective is that I'm not going to give them something for free. If they want employees to use cell phones, they must provide the cell phone (or computer or whatever). The military does this. Most officers have government phones and credit cards. Also government cars for work stuff.

the holy poopacy posted:Ex's gf asks me why I broke up with her man I mean, I'm guessing there's a host of untold drama on the other side of the message, but "it wasn't a serious relationship, and I didn't like that he didn't drive and spent all his money on weed" sounds like a perfectly reasonable response? Either he's no longer doing the latter, or the new GF already knows about it.

Tell the girlfriend the truth and then back away slowly. The way its worded makes me wonder if things have turned dangerous at home for the girlfriend and child, but that's the kind of mess that OP should steer clear of.

Alchenar posted:I think you want a castle metaphor rather than a Nazi metaphor: You can't sally from your closet, make a bunch of claims about your sexuality that unfairly impact other people, then dash back inside. Once the door is open to those people then it stays open. But this isn't accurate at all, you can totally sally forth from a castle, wreck a few siege engines or engineers and then scarper back to the castle to be safe. It's kind of the whole point of castles!

The way its worded makes me wonder if things have turned dangerous at home for the girlfriend and child, but that's the kind of mess that OP should steer clear of. yea, and like, when you're trying to find a place to move in together, it's useful to know that like, in the past this dude has prioritized weed over budgeting for small dates--if this kind of behavior persists five years later and homie's the type of dude to still prioritize treats for himself over budgeting for like, couple-related things, then that's kind of a problem. you don't want to be blindsided and come up short for rent/bills because ol boy decided to prioritize weed or games or something. not saying he doesn't deserve anything for himself but like, when you move in together and have a kid together, other stuff comes first Ghost Leviathan posted:A lot of people treat their own kids as basically props in their lives and get real fuckin mad when the props don't perform as expected. lmao yea, narcissists react reeeeal poorly when they don't get their desired responses. it's cool tho, they've both passed now.

This was weird because for him to add me meant that he needed to create a whole new account and find me by username since I blocked him (and at this point have a new phone number and email). I ignore it and went on with my life. Just a few hours ago, a woman reached out to me asking me MY side of the story of the breakup because she said she's trying to get a place with him... Her ex's girlfriend created a fake account (in her ex's name), then called her up for details of a relationship that ended FIVE years ago! Don't answer, block everybody. That's crazy stalker poo poo.

Like, as long as you keep the chips factory sealed, they're good forever--but you can't open the package up and enjoy a chip and then expect to reseal the rest so they last indefinitely. To use an idiom, "that bell is already rung."
