And I would prefer the manager is catching their staff’s errors before they make it to the customer instead of making me do QA, but we can both only dream of a better world.
I’m also pretty convinced this was an intentional cost-saving move, given the rest of the food. Either way, I just won’t be back a second time.
Sealed opaque bag that I didn’t personally pick up
You know, I’ve never seen grapefruit in a fruit salad where I live. This had never occurred to me before, but I am grateful for it.
Because I wanted a fruit salad and did not anticipate this level of cheaping out by the people who made it. Do you open your burger at a fast food place and count the ingredients in front of the staff to make sure the cook didn’t short you?
I assumed they would fill it with the cheapest possible fruit, which at the time I knew happened to be watermelon. If it were honeydew, I wouldn’t have bought it at all, I think. I share your dislike of honeydew
It has the bonus effect of removing evidence that Judaism was a religion made up of previous culture’s stories and legends. The guy who lost his shit at a statue in a museum was international news, and there will only be more evidence undermining Judaism’s claims to originality and truth buried in coastal areas. The Israeli government has long been stalling any archaeological work in Israel/Palestine, much to the dismay of historians. This makes sure nothing can be identified even long after the current fighting and reinforces the power of the ruling class.
For sure. I’d be first in line to complain if I worked there… assuming my mobility impairment didn’t get in the way of that 😅
Chinese company. No idea what disability discrimination laws they have in place, if any.
Thanks, I try. I know what it’s like to have subjective symptoms of something larger and medically very real dismissed by others to the point where more permanent damage is done than was ever necessary. While I don’t wish that experience on anyone, it sadly seems almost a necessary experience for many people in order to be able to engage others with compassion.
I wish there were more empathy, especially in lemmy.world comments. I had hoped better for the fediverse than the current patterns of hostility in social media towards others with different life experiences.
You don’t have to apologise, you haven’t done anything wrong. It is true that since people can experience sudden health issues very young, I was one of them. But if your only evidence for diabetes is that you recently ate a common food that happened to be high in sugar, then there’s no sign at all that this is something you are experiencing. You have no symptoms of diabetes, and blood tests as evidence that you don’t have it. But anxiety is a legitimate health condition too.
You shouldn’t ignore symptoms, which is why you need to look at the symptoms of anxiety that you seem to be experiencing. A panic attack is not something most people regularly experience, and definitely not because they broke their own omad rule with a food that has high sugar levels.
Please, look into deep breathing techniques fir the panic attacks and doctors who specialize in anxiety near you. I wish you all the luck and best, I know how anxiety can paralyze and negatively affect your life. But the good news is that you aren’t powerless to change it.
Friend, I mean this in the nicest possible way, with understanding as someone who has personal experience with both anxiety and insulin issues. I’ve noticed your name on a lot of threads which all demonstrate “catastrophization” and extremely high levels of fear over low risk situations. Levels of fear that are disproportionate. You need to see a doctor about it.
Anxiety isn’t you being crazy or your fault. It could be something as simple as a chemical imbalance. You don’t need to live like this though, it’s exhausting being this afraid all the time and that energy could be far better spent on things that truly improve your life.
Please consider it, I know I’m not the first person to tell you this. Acknowledge the pattern, and talk to a professional. It’s hard but very very worth it.
Sure. I just think most people can be less hypocritical in calling it out because we’re not the head of state of a country and top representative for a religion with extensive history of the same acts. I don’t have the power to direct an entire economy’s resources or have the adoring audience of millions globally, but he does. So he ought to be reminded of his own abilities, and the rest of us shouldn’t just let the Vatican forget its own self-declared immoral actions.
He can make geopolitical statements and direct his flock as he pleases, and I will continue to call him out on his bullshit. My position on the core truth of his statement does not alter my position on calling out hypocrisy.
So was harboring the head of the fascist Ustaše in the Vatican and smuggling him out to Argentina using the ratlines after WW2 - and keeping the loot the Ustaše brought with them. So were the Catholic forced conversions conducted by members of the Franciscan Order during WW2. The Pope can hand back the stolen treasure to the owners and release the documents from that period if he wants to make a believable denouncement of religiously motivated atrocities.
Until the Vatican is willing to address its own genocide and make amends, this is just hypocritical hot air and puffery.
While I’m glad the Australian Government had decided to take at least a mild finger-wagging stance of disapproval, blaming this on “settlers” trivialises the situation in an unacceptable way. The Israeli state is perfectly able to keep Jewish extremists from invading the space and forcibly displacing Palestinians, but not only does the state choose not to, but they’re actively participating in the genocide. They’re not “settlers”, the land has been “settled” for longer than written human history. IDF snipers are not some sort of quaint uncoordinated pioneers discovering new land.
I wasn’t previously against Israel’s “right to exist”, but the atrocities the Israeli goveenment are perpetuating are making me take a far stronger stance against ethnostates of all varieties.
Legal advice given to me by an employer treated all citizens as eligible. Their advice tends to err on the side of caution at the best of times, but I have no reason to disagree that it’s at the very least legally contentious even if not yet officially contested.
Tl;dr I wouldn’t want to rely on it in court, whether everyone else is happy to risk that is whatever.
They’re just keeping him locked up
He’s free to move around the country, he hasn’t even been on house arrest since August. Save your concern for the actual locked up people on shitty minor drug possession charges in the US.
That sentiment is ableist as fuck.
You can revel in your superiority when you’re tracking individual animals on your 3 day long persistence hunting trips and foraging your own berries. Agriculture and technology are entirely unnecessary, for prime specimens of humans like you.
Complain that they asked a question? Do you usually do that? I only ask because I save complaints for deliberately shitty service.
Are humans performing labor allowed to ask a question? Yes. Especially when they are performing dangerous work, which it legitimately is where I am. I have no desire to fuck with low earning people in dangerous jobs, so I wait outside for them when I see they’re pretty close on the GPS.
When I had covid I put “have covid, knock and leave at apartment door” as the delivery note. It worked pretty flawlessly. My normal delivery message is “will meet you out front, do not call unless necessary”, which works about 90% of the time.
The delivery people who actually piss me off are the ones who call/text “I’ve arrived” when I’m waiting outside and I can see they’re still 3 blocks away on the GPS. Don’t lie to me, even though i understand you’re trying to reduce your wait time, and some people make them wait for 15+ mins.
The other ones who piss me off are the ones who take a 30min detour with my food because they’re juggling apps and two different services have told them to go in opposite directions. Special shout out to the dude who literally rode past me while I was waiting for him outside, so that he could pick up an order for a different app instead of giving me my order. Thanks for chilling half my hot food too with what I assume was a cold drinks order, asshole.
Extremists Jews have become what they swore to destroy. The holocaust was the core justification for the creation of Israel, and while I never expected peace in the Middle East, I didn’t expect them to start committing the same atrocities within living memory while using the same fertile land propaganda metaphors.
The UN fucked up hard when it formed the country and the Security Council voting system needs to be reformed based on this awful lesson. The world is less safe than ever, and nuclear weapon proliferation is accelerating rapidly, so the UN SC is just not achieving their own goals either.
This is what a failing civilization and species looks like and I’m not enjoying being on the sinking ship. Happy new year.
