The resort I work at pays the lowest housekeeping wages on the beach so it's a revolving door and the owner complains he can't find good help. gently caress off, pay the good employees a decent living wage and it wouldnt be a problem idiot.

Here's some cash that you'll put in your wallet and probably spend on a sub sandwich on your lunch break or other dumb poo poo that's not a gift. Giving a gift card from a specific store ensures the person will pick out a GIFT for themselves and not just spend cash on dumb every day poo poo

Can't give them cash that may provide a meal or roof over their head. Let's give gift cards this gift season. That way when they spend it, it will be a gift from meeeee even though I can't be bothered with them in any aspect. Lol wat. You're not making any sense dude and your gift card rage is silly.

Rhyno posted:16. Very introverted. I don't even know if she has any IRL friends. Any time I've gone over there she's been shut away in her room. She's definitely a bit odd as she spends a lot of time drawing overly sexualized cartoon characters (the tumblr connection). I guess she sold commissions through there and made a few bucks here and there. Well to be fair a 16 year old has no business selling porn on the internet and should have nothing to do with the tumblr ban, that's on the parents for it even getting to that point. It also sounds like she needs counseling, again something her parents should have taken care of, she is a child.

InitialDave posted:16 is old enough to have, you know, actual sex in lots of places, selling her dirty fanart online is pretty much a non-issue relative to everything else that's clearly going on in her life. She is still a child at 16 and shouldn't be blatantly allowed to do anything pornography related. Sneaking around is one thing, you can't control that, but to openly allow your child to be involved in pornography is wrong. If she has issues to begin with, letting her act out in that way is giant slippery slope.

Ether Frenzy posted:16 year olds can drive literal cars to places you can't monitor. People who can drive cars are adults in everything but the difference between which jail they'll go to if they kill someone while doing it. Perhaps you should stop snooping in their internet use at this point. Well you're wrong obviously, because 16 is legally a child whether you agree with it or not. Also I was under the impression the parents were actively allowing her selling porn drawings on Tumblr, which if that's the case is bad parenting, but from what Rhyno is saying it sounds like the Mother is the one allowing it. If dad isn't around much it's hard to know exactly what's going on so i can see why he would be freaking out.

Well you honestly sound like a bitchy teenager defending teenager rights when there aren't many to begin with. Driving isn't a right just because they can, neither is using the internet, and if you think teenagers should be left to their own devices you're daft.

Javid posted:"My kid's rights are what I decide they are" is exactly the recipe for a hosed up teenager who tries to kill themself because tumblr is self-immolating, hth So is, "I trust my kid to use the internet to surf porn and interact with strangers, he/she has enough of a frontal lobe by now to do the right thing because hey, they can drive you know."

Ether Frenzy posted:No, that's how people grow up to be adults because they can apply the understanding of responsibility and trust that operating a car entails to other ventures instead of having their parents run in to "help" them with all their important decisionmaking as they reach adult maturity. So because they can drive they should be treated like an adult? lol when I and every friend I had got our licenses it gave us more freedom to gently caress off and get into more trouble than we were already getting into. We've all told stories here in this thread about it before. Do some research about brain development, specifically the frontal lobe. A teens brain isn't fully developed and won't be until their mid 20's, as a result their judgement skills are poo poo. No wonder it's an issue for parents.

slidebite posted:As an employer, I really don't give a poo poo how far away you live as long as you get to work on time and doesn't impact your job. If you are continually late though, please have the courtesy of leaving home a little earlier to rectify it though - but that's common sense. I'd far rather you are at work 10 minutes early than 10 minutes late every day, hell, you could probably leave early 9 times out of 10 to make it work out. When you're at the mercy of erratic traffic issues tho it's hard to be consistent. It's a unique situation here tho, if you're commuting across tampa bay from st.pete to tampa or vice versa most employers give you leeway because you have no control over accidents shutting the bridges down for hours.

I haven't worn any jewelry since and it just feels awkward to wear any now. I wear my wedding ring when we go out and stuff like that but it usually sits on my dresser.

tetrapyloctomy posted:Huh, I didn't know rear-only brakes were a thing. I obviously knew you could throw yourself over the handlebars if you hit only the front brakes hard, but I always figured you still wanted both because of weight transfer limiting rear braking. How much does a bike like that weigh? It has brackets for front brakes (disc or V), it just didn't come with any. The guy I bought it from said he bought it that way too lol. Not sure how much it weighs but it's lighter than i thought it would be. It's a cromoly frame and fork which I love, tired of rigid-rear end alloy. Suburban Dad posted:Grats! Is that also a single speed? First rule in bike pictures is post it from the cassette side. Yeah it's single speed. Plans are to convert to a shimano Alfine 8 speed hub eventually. I think someone built this bike custom and just never put front brakes on it. Gonna do that eventually as well, I'm new to disc brakes on bikes and it seems they are pretty polarizing as some people love them and others hate them. So I have to figure out whats gonna work best for me, any advice on that topic would be great actually.

Took my new bike out for a ride to my buddy's bike shop, he said I stole it for 400 so I'm pretty happy about that. Man this things rides so smooth, I don't know if it's going from rigid-rear end alloy to CroMo but it just feels so much better. After talking with my buddy some I might just stay with the rear brake for awhile, if I want a front disc I'll have to get a new hub as well so that won't be happening anytime soon. Also I'm really happy with the gearing, it's perfect. Might not even want to get an internally geared hub for awhile. My friend also said the freewheel is rebuildable which I never heard of before lol. All the components on the bike are top notch [e] besides the pedals they are horrible, gonna get a good pair of platforms Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Dec 19, 2018 |
