Just coca cola cherry vanilla. Ive seen only like cream soda dr pepper here but I don’t like dr pepper.

Thanks that makes me feel better about the HR folks I spoke to. I work in an actually very safe organization in terms of this type of stuff but it’s also unionized so the paperwork seemed extremely overwhelming at the time and I didn’t really feel supported by the union at all, plus the fact that a formal report would mean my name would no longer be confidential. Unfortunately, I think it’s too late to do all that formal stuff anyway but I think I gave them enough to do a bit of damage as from what I’ve been told they’re still pursuing as much as they can. I just wish I hadn’t had to have been the one to speak up because our boss actually witnessed everything and had the same evidence as me and said fuck all. The whole leadership is a fucking mess honestly but I did find comfort in the HR folks that helped me out at least.

Omg I had this opportunity against a higher up who is a really fucking awful person but I opted to go for an informal complaint because I panicked that they would tell them who put the complaint in. the higher up really likes me and had no idea that I’d complain about what they were doing - they also would’ve talked absolute shit about me and tried to destroy my reputation if they found out, considering I’m very early into my career it wasn’t a choice I was willing to make. I wish I had been brave cause now it’s all said and done I can really see how hard HR actually wanted that person gone (much harder to do without the formal complaint).

Good luck to you!

Ooo idk the ones I always see here in Canada have a pound sticker on them so I imagine they’re from the UK somewhere.

Ok this one is actually resolved kind of but it super freaks me out. I was working on something and had white noise in my bluetooth headphones coming from Spotify on my browser. At like 2 in the morning, over the white noise, and without making a noise like it connected to anything else, the headphones started playing this like chatter (like people chit chatting) and eventually the started singing what sounded like hymns, at the same time the headset kept cutting in and out and this went on for like 10 minutes. I turned off the Spotify, closed the browsers, confirmed my headset wasn’t connected to anything else and nothing else was playing sound that I could see.

A few days later I go back to my computer, open up some separate work I had been doing (transcribing interviews) and lo and behold at the end of the roll there’s the creepy fucking chatter and singing.

What it must’ve been was somehow my foot pedal getting triggered (though I maintain my foot was not on the pedal) and somehow, though I’m certain my app was closed, playing the end of that recording. But damn if I wasn’t sure I was haunted those few days.

I sometimes find cherry vanilla imported from the UK. Usually in the summertime. I’m glad they made cherry cokes a more permanent thing now though.

Y’all have the cherry vanilla cokes that I love over there. Once in a while I find the exported version for a ridiculous price here and pick it up.

But yeah like someone else said, just add vanilla flavouring to your regular coke, it takes a bit to find the balance but it’s doable.

Damn I was gonna suggest Hardbite Sweet Ghost Pepper if you like the sweet Thai chili but I think Hardbite is only Canadian.

The one that really kills me is the apostrophe for plural stuff. My boss did a PowerPoint the other day with fuckin apostrophes all over the place. It’s not that hard.

My phone is smart enough now that it corrects it depending on the context. Not always but most of the time, like if it write “it’s his aunt” it does it automatically and also if I write “my life has had its struggles” it writes it’s at first and then corrects it once I finish the next word

I remember on Reddit once I commented a very vague description of a very personal experience I had with SA. Not fucking joking, people were defending this person they knew literally nothing about, except for the fact that I had said “oh yeah, I’ve experienced SA”.

I haven’t seen anything that bad on Lemmy yet so hopefully it stays chill.

That’s very sweet. One of the things that got me interested in wanting to work in IT support was that I worked at a breakfast diner where mostly older folks would eat. My regulars would always ask for help to try to fix silly things on their phone and would always be so happy when I could help.

Things are different now, but once in a while you find someone overly grateful for doing something so simple and it’s always a very nice feeling.

I had something so similar happen recently where a link on our external site was down. This person calls me and it literally went:

Them: “this link is broken. Can you tell them fix it?”

Me: “there’s a banner at the top of the page that says they’re trying to fix it. Here’s an alternative link.”

Them: “well that’s from last week so they should’ve fixed it by now”

Me: “must be real broken then”

Them: “well can you find their email so we can email them to tell them to fix it”

Me: “no, they’re fixing it”

Them: “well you’re IT can you email them to ask them how long it will be and tell me when it’s fixed”

No that’s not my fuckin job bud. Here’s their general contact page if you’re dying for this very non urgent thing.

I have had a very similar and frustrating experience where I’ve been exercising regularly since the beginning of the year pretty much but my insomnia honestly felt like it got worse so I was just exhausted all the time, plus frustrated that I wasn’t able to do as much stuff that I actually enjoyed because working out would take up extra time in my day, and on top of that I haven’t seen any weight loss from it (despite also dieting). In the past I never had this issue and I’d be able to work out regularly and feel better and healthier so I’m not sure if it’s just my worsening mental health or new stressors or what but it’s awful.

Not malls but like 90% of office buildings are sitting empty downtown. Seems like a pretty convenient area to build affordable housing to me, especially considering downtown businesses are also suffering.

I was tricked into believing the health thing I guess but I have always preferred it because the taste is different. White sugar is almost too sweet for a lot of things, which I know is a ridiculous statement to say about sugar.

Was it supposed to be good at something? I was only ever told to to get it in case an employer Googles me, never to actually try to find jobs. That’s what indeed is for (or in my case just going directly to the employer’s website).

Sounds like it works right into their plans for controlling the population by forcing people to give birth then. What a hellscape. I’m so sorry for the good humans that live there.

I called my friend Andy “Amdy” for like two years before he noticed. This meme would work better spoken.

Wasn’t that one woman who lied about cancer and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars fully brought down for tax evasion because they couldn’t really get her on much else? The scamanda woman
