  • Okay so to clarify, what I should’ve said that this year alone I only got a .25 raise. But that doesn’t mean that year by year, my raise has been higher. When I started my job, I think I was at like $18 something. Then it went $18.48 my second year and now I’m at $18.73. So, you can see, how slow the increments are. I have not even capped the maximum hourly I could make for my position.

    It doesn’t erase the feeling either, that I’ve gone above and beyond for my store on multiple occasions. Taking on 10 hour shifts, coming in on days where I normally have had off, taking stupid shit on the chin when I knew I was in the right of a situation, enduring and picking up the slack of underdeveloping co-workers. I’ve done it all and more.

    And giving me sugarcoated compliments just will not cut it anymore, rewarding us with fucking snacks in the breakroom for us to stress eat our woes away, won’t cut it anymore.

    The only reason I’m not even getting better raises is because of attendance. Gee, how could that be? Maybe because I take up so much PTO/PPTO and sacrifice points, so I can fucking have periods of time to take a step back and give myself time to breathe mentally from so much bullshit.

    It’s all a joke, this working hard thing. I can’t believe, I work for a company and in a store where, taking on so much is actually discouraged in a subtle way. Going higher up the management chain, just only earns you more responsibility and barely a bump in pay to accommodate. I’ve seen it all.



  • If AI was able to actually think, it wouldn’t even need your input to feed it thoughts from you to respond. It’d probably just talk right away and accurately assume it knows what you want.

    AI is just simply an over-glorified piece of tech that is placed in things when humans are incapable of doing it themselves and doing it as efficiently as possible. Like reading anything in microseconds.



  • I think a more accurate take is that the well of originality is drying up very fast. There will be nothing anymore that is entirely original. Everyone is going to be borrowing something from something else, if it hasn’t happened already.

    I mean duh, there are no original movies, okay then what? Just enjoy what you can! If you have an idea for an ‘original movie’ then go out and be a director of something, because indie movie making is a thing!

    I’m getting beyond tired of how many half-baked, made-up and just plain wrong takes there are about my identity. I’ve argued about some of it in the past comments. It’s a shame people faithfully believe that transgenders have a stake in non-binary identities when the two cannot be anymore different from eachother. That’s just people lazily condensing things that don’t need to be condensed.
