I am sorry but this tendency of hypervigilantly assuming every kinky person will violate you in some way if you happen to tick one of their boxes is beginning to approach “I don’t mind gay people as long as they don’t hit on ME ;)” territory with a dash of white woman human trafficking posting. “haha this is an r/AITA post waiting to happen” r/AITA is notorious for fake stories you tool
I can assure you that the stranger in public with a foot fetish who happens to see you barefoot probably treats it as if you had popped a no-cause boner - pretending it never happened for the comfort of both parties

[ Image description: a series of screens from a video of Neil Gaiman sitting and answering the question with subtitles. He says ββCould I ride Minotaur like a horse?β No, obviously, you could not. You could ride a Minotaur like a man (β¦) Unless you could find a Minotaur into sort of pony stuff or you probably have to find a furry minotaur, like, not a furry Minotaur, a Minotaur who was actually a furry, would get into a horse costume and get down and you could ride that one.β End of image description. ]
Youβll be able to make a custom feed to follow blogs, webcomics, social media feeds, podcasts, news, and other stuff on the web all in one place. To follow something, find its βfeed URLββ often marked by an icon that looks like this ββ and paste it into your reader of choice as a new feed.
Some feed URLs for social media:
Twitter: Feedbro can use Twitter profile URLs as feed URLs. Otherwise, use nitter.net/username/rss (or other Nitter instance) (You can get a CSV file of all the accounts you follow using βDownload a userβs friends listβ on Tweetbeaver)
Tumblr: Use username.tumblr.com/rss or username.tumblr.com/tagged/my%20art/rss to follow a blogβs βmy artβ tag (as an example)
Cohost: Use username.cohost.org/rss/public (WIP feature)
Instagram: Feedbro can use Instagram profile and hashtag URLs as feed URLs. Otherwise, Instagram doesnβt have RSS feeds, and due to aggressive rate limiting on their part, itβs not so simple to generate a feed URL.
Facebook: Feedbro can use public Facebook group/page URLs as feed URLs.
(If you know an artist who exclusively posts to Instagram, you may want to gently suggest that they crosspost elsewhereβ¦)
idk. yesterday was a slow day and at the end of it, I still stared into a cash drawer, one of three, that had more than my rent in it, even if you only count the 20s. I spent a lot of that day trying to calculate in my head how many hours of work equal one pair of pants, let alone how many hours of work equals the fun thing I want to do next month.
I feel a cough coming on, because I work in a drug store, and all of my customers are sick. I always feel a little bit sick, now. I can’t afford to eat well enough to keep my body healthy. Cough medicine is worth two hours and 20 minutes of work. Our store probably bought a case of cough medicine for they price we’re selling one box. If this cough gets worse, I might have to call out, which will cost me more than the medicine in the long run- but that doesn’t give me the money to buy the medicine right now. I stock a case onto the shelf. I don’t buy any.
A mom wrangling three crying, sick kids enters my line and sets two types of children’s medicine down, says they’re both on sale and thank god for that. I ring her up, and she gets very quiet, because she misread the sign, and her total is twice as high as she was expecting. Her youngest screams in the cart, because she’s burning up with fever. Her mother very quietly asks, please, she’s so sorry, if I could please take the more expensive one off her total.
I agree, I move the box below the counter, and when she’s not looking, I slip it into her bag. I pray as hard as I can that if she notices the “mistake” she says nothing, because I so desperately want her to have that medicine. The store has lost profit at the cost of a child’s health. I don’t bat an eye. This is a terminable offense. If I’m presented with the same situation tonight, I’ll do it in a heartbeat.
The myth of evil employees stealing from the company falls apart the second you realize the company would shoot you dead to make a profit. This isn’t two equal players, one of whom is stealing from the other. This is someone fighting for survival versus someone fighting to make an extra million. It’s not equal.
Employees should be able to steal, actually.
Bro I teared up oh my god bro
When I worked at Walmart as a cashier almost 20yrs ago. A guy came in with his obviously sick 5yr old son. & all he was buying was a bottle of medicine for his kid. He was short a dime. A fucking dime. 10 cents. I had a dime & pulled it out of my pocket & helped pay for the medicine.
My manager comes over in a huff & angrily says, “What were you thinking?! How could you do that?! What if he expects you to cover him every single time he’s short on money??? He could be a meth addict or something.”
Me, “I’m not going to lose any sleep over helping & being out a dime. I would do it again.”
This guy comes in a day or two later, holding a dollar in the air & running towards me. He gives me the dollar & says for me to keep it. He wasn’t there for anything else, just came in to give the dollar.
When it came time for me to quit. It was still during the time a cashier didn’t need an override to discount items. I had HAAAADDD it with Walmart’s bullshit. & so EVVVVERYYYYONE got discounts over the course of a week.
A woman comes in with a couple thousands dollars worth of stuff to redecorate her house. She probably paid $300.
Moms with a basketful of groceries. 75% off.
I even told my husband (they didn’t know he was my husband) to come in when he got paid & to get as many groceries & hygiene & cleaning products as he could fit in a basket. & whatever else he wanted. & I discounted TF out of it.
I didn’t care anymore & I wanted to save everybody in my checkout money.
& to this day, working the odd jobs in retail - I internally snicker at loss prevention. Fuck that. You want to steal something? Babes, I didn’t see shit.
also the absolute imbecility of Israel supporters. Their reply to “stop bombing innocent civilians” is “release the hostages!” When asked “how do you know that the hostages haven’t been bombed by Israel?” they cry “They’re in tunnels underground obviously!”
So you agree, then, that the bombs aren’t useful on Hamas? So you agree, then, that they are just killing innocent civilians?
And then they change topics, screaming about antisemitism. They scream about 40 beheaded babies, not acknowledging the proven lie, not acknowledging their beloved Israel has killed 133 babies under the age of one. They scream about how Hamas struck first. They scream and scream and do not listen.
There is no winning against these people. They are delusional in their support and have no sense of humanity.
