Fascists always eat each other.

Hour by hour, my job evolved from taking calls from clients who owed us money, to then answering questions from agents who weren't as skilled at it as I was.

In the process of being promoted, I was asked to join a daily meeting of over 100 people talking about the issues affecting our department.

Once in a great while, something came up in that meeting that gave me the heads up to prevent chaos in our department and stress to members.

There's a whole shitload of cogs turning in modern corporations. There's also a huge danger of people leaving and nobody understanding why the cogs are there.

I don't know the why but the first thing I said when I found out was "Polonium".

When I was in my mid 30s, a cute young 24 year old online started hitting on me.

Turned out she had three kids with three different dads and the most recent one was in jail for domestic abuse.

I still almost went for it though. Problem is my life was in the shitter and couldn't even afford to fly down or for her up to see me.

We were 'together' for about six months when I wised up and broke it off.

Soup(ply) / planner / propaganda here.

Can you explain the refrain in the rain?

My Dad is a Buddhist, so I have some knowledge and respect for that philosophy/faith.

But yes, he was a hippy too.

And I think he would agree that this question is poorly formed at least. But then I've never heard my Dad talk about chakras either.

There is a !Buddhism@lemmy.world community.

Probably a lottery where the winner was predetermined.

I'm 50 and fairly set in my ways.

My wife and I took in a trans person in need almost a year ago.

I'd never known a trans person before, not personally. It took me maybe two weeks to get used to pronouns. Now it's second nature.

You're nothing but a fucking bigot if you can't try to change just a little bit to make others comfortable.

To keep making this an issue just makes it even clearer. You aren't interested in being inclusive. You refuse to try. Fuck off and retire, Carville.

Daylast, primarily to screw up that stupid "Day ending in a y" joke.

Even on reddit I'd get replies to years old comments. I remember one user watching Breaking Bad and reading the old response threads and engaging with me from there.

I don't mind at all, especially as I'm trying to be uplifting with my comments.
