ok I have literally never done anything plumbing related in my life but my slumlord landlord won't fix my hosed up shower so I'm going to turn off the hot water in my shower unless I need to take a shower because apparently it's dripping at like 4 gallons of hot water an hour and that's almost certainly what is driving my electric bill through the roof


this is what i'm dealing with. I can't get the thing to budge with my weak girly hands, can I use a wrench on that bolt fitting near the base of the valve?

unless you've been a dick tenant I can't imagine they'll gently caress you over too badly, you might have to pay the $50 difference on your last month's rent or something but realistically any reasonable fee for breaking the lease would be quickly recouped by living somewhere rent free

This is weird... So I just discovered a new (to me) band called The Twilight Sad. Scottish shoegazey gloomy wall of sound rock, and I really dig it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8H38U4nZag

Then I was like "this reminds me of something" and I figured it out, it is reminiscent of Catherine Wheel, a band from the 90's:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtTqR9oZX6Q

So I'm watching the video and for a second I touched the poo and started reading the comments. There it says "Rob created Singer Porsche". So I was like "probably bullshit but I'm curious"

Turns out yes, Rob Dickinson, singer/songwriter of Catherine Wheel, is the cousin of Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson, and yes he founded Singer Porsche, presumably with all his rock and roll money. That's why it's called Singer.

I like when the evening takes a couple interesting backroads off the information superhighway.

It's poo poo like that that makes me so wary of dating again, my sense of self worth is low enough that really minor things will make me feel like utter poo poo about myself, and then since I am a big babby I end up taking it out on people around me who don't deserve that poo poo. I'm stuck in a mental tautological loop where I feel like poo poo because I'm alone and I'm alone because I feel like poo poo

OK some of my problem might be that I can't see myself dating someone significantly more right wing than I am which is problematic given where I lie on the political spectrum (when I say I hate liberals I definitely mean it in a different way than most do) and my location (home of the Kochs), but it's mostly the self loathing and that I have no idea how to actually give a poo poo about myself

e: nothing like 4 am and Christmas to remind you how alone you really are, can it be January already?

Troubleshooting network outages with no documentation on hand is always fun, luckily it ended up being "oh this 24 port procurve doesn't have any power, I wonder why", battery back up took a dump I guess, plugged it into a surge protector and said gently caress it, IT can deal with it tomorrow

I'll try out the CX 300 IIs since they're only $30 at best buy right now. I've got from the 24th until the 4th off from work and I'm not going anywhere so I plan on hitting the gym a bunch instead of waiting until new years to set resolutions that I can then fail at miserably

Someone gave her a box of hangers as a gift and thought it would be okay. I think she might be onto something with her hostile work environment claim.

If someone gave you a present which basically amounted to saying, "I want you and your unborn child to die a horrible, painful death," wouldn't you be kind of mad too?

the point of suing someone isn't that you're mad at them, it's to seek recompense for damages done to you

^^^ I used to work in the restaurant industry so I've seen the worst humanity has to offer, and I have retained a lawyer to deal with a hostile work environment before so our experiences are much, much different.

Most of my dealership comrades are pretty alright, but one of them actually DID make a rusty coathanger joke to me after I confided in him that I was pregnant, so that's why I have zero trouble believing that other pregnant women get treated like poo poo by people who think off-color jokes about unsafe abortions are funny.


I wouldn't call it an rear end in a top hat place of privilege, but I would agree that you are not capable of experiencing and viewing it from the same angle as a woman and I think that's something that everyone should consider. I'm adamantly pro-choice, pro-maternity rights in the workplace, and an overall feminist killjoy so this is something that I've got a pretty strong reaction to.

I agree with all of this, I'm just saying suing for damages doesn't seem like the best way to address systemic work environment issues and if the issue is an isolated incident then HR has handled the situation appropriately by suspending and presumably firing the offender
