I work for a very large machine company that has hundreds of stores selling all sorts of very high-end construction and farm equipment, and we still run off a DOS-based system from the early 80's. Companies will cut costs wherever they can regardless of how large they are. I definitely don't think that one is a fake only based on that.

TrashMammal posted:telling you right now, putting money on it, that dos-based system is 1000x better than whatever contemporary click driven monstrosity it could be replaced with So before the big company that I currently work for bought our tractor store, there was a very nice modern system and it was fantastic. Not clunky at all, and customers could pay easily with their card or phone or whatever. When the new, million dollar company took over they got rid of the card readers and whatnot in favor of the DOS-based piece of poo poo. Apparently one of their people made it personally. It's a terrible system that can't even keep track of inventory correctly and we're always at about 10% loss every year... but one of them made it so it's *special.* It also doesn't use chips and is generally not very secure. The company does all sorts of poo poo like that to keep their costs down. If I wasn't paid decently for selling tractor parts, I'd find something new just because they can't even update their crap. But I can sit here and shitpost at my desk because I'm really highly paid for looking pretty during the slow season, so leaving just seems stupid.

Dude you shouldn't have messaged them at all. And lol at the thought that they both needed to know, AND needed the announcement to be personalized. Stupid doormat. (I'm saying thus as a reformed, formerly abused doormat myself. Don't be a stupid doormat, kids.)

Gwely Mernans posted:My grandpa would tell my mom that he would never want a Catholic doctor to deliver his child because if it was a choice between his wife and baby they would save the baby. If I could get pregnant, I would absolutely be grilling the doctors about this. I'd rather be alive than leave my husband as a single dad. This is a perfectly reasonable reason to not want a Catholic or other overly-religious doctor. Way too many doctors these days would let the mom die for the baby, and I would never, ever want that to happen to my daughter either. I'd totally be warning her that doctors can be terrible and not have a woman's best interest in mind. There's probably a much nicer way to put that that hopefully wouldn't traumatize your daughter though. Like there's gotta be a better way to frame it rather than "I'd like your mom to live and you're expendable" even if it's the truth.

Hey crappy family buddy!  I'm the second kid my mom had, she gave the first one away (her adoptive family sucked too) and frankly we both should have been aborted. My mom would have been way better off and not stayed with abusive Catholic men. I rarely speak to her anymore since she compared me to pedos for being queer.

No offense to anyone doing it, but if I have any of like a dozen normal life goals like having kids or buying a house a perpetual cafe manager isn’t going to be a whole lot of help to me. This is a mighty weird take, friend.

I feel like it takes a really severe mental illness to ignore a pregnancy like that. Im saying this from a stupid body that has anxiety and a touch of the 'tism among other, more bodily annoying things. I really hope all those women got help and hopefully got help rasing/dealing with the random babies that popped out. Like pregnancy is such an absolutely horror that I can not imagine it suddenly being sprung on me and me not diving off the nearest cliff.

Space Kablooey posted:Same, tbh. I'm probably talking out of my rear end but it does feel like it's some kind of light? mild? parental neglect that they just let children run around under-dressed. It feels like the kids are too fussy to even get dressed so the parents kinda just give up, idk. The boy is the problem in this story, not the girl. No one should be forced to wear uncomfortable stuff in their own home, and not wearing a bra isn't "underdressed" but neither is a boy being shirtless.

Running around in a bra, but a shirt and bottoms isn't unclothed. Neither is a dude running around in just bottoms. Like if someone ran around in a swimsuit it's fine, this is even more clothes. But then I'm a hippie and we don't take nudity as something offensive or weird. I mean it's perfectly legal in my state to walk around completely nude (see the Nude Bike Ride for more info) and when it's hot in the summer and the guys take their shirts off, I do too. Edited to add: and I can not imagine trying to foist clothes onto a mad toddler. Like good luck dude. Scathach fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Feb 15, 2024 |

Sucks for the kids, but it's probably good for them to learn that their parents are gross homophobes and slutshamers and whatnot, and that behavior has consequences. I can not imagine having someone like that around my gay kid for a day, definitely not four years!!! Like this dad is the rear end in a top hat, not for kicking family out but for making his kids deal with monsters for that long.

So my husband and I met one of our new neighbors today. He plays D&D and invited us to join, along with his non-binary wife. I'm hella excited that another NB person moved in and also that we have more queer-friendly people in the neighborhood. Once we move into the house we're building across the way, they'll be living right next to us! I hope my womanly equipment doesn't mess up the game

Dear Abby messes up again posted:DEAR ABBY: My son and his fiancée are getting married next month. They’re calling it an elopement, but although they have been telling everyone when and where the wedding is, they are not formally inviting anyone. I have come to terms with that. I realize the day is about them, not me. However, this is my only child, and I have always dreamed about being part of this milestone in his life. I know this is like six pages back, but this one has been bothering me. Abbey tells the mother to show up anyway, even though the couple is eloping and not asking for anyone to be involved. Am I reading this wrong? It sounds like the mom isn't invited at all, and for obvious reasons.
