  • “Just kept tossing their hair and looking at me.”

    Are we sure the employees weren’t shaking their heads at the customer and they are just an idiot? I’m also assuming the doors were already locked, or they would have just walked in, and the hours are typically posted on the door. I feel that should be enough of an indication the store is closed. People don’t need to have their hands held through everything I life. Expecting a little independence from them isn’t being not nice.















  • Talk to your partner about what they consider romantic activities, because everyone has a different idea of what is or is not romantic. It can also depend on other bits of context. For example, going to a fancy dinner with one friend might be seen as romantic by your partner, but a fancy dinner with a sibling or group of friends might not be.

    The timing could also be a bigger factor than the activity itself. Your partner might feel offended that you chose to leave the birthday celebration/activities for personal time to relax and unwind, only to then go and do something with a different friend. Even if that activity with the other friend wasn’t seen as a romantic activity, your partner might have still been upset that they were perceived as a lower priority on their birthday, a day they might have expected to be more prioritized by them.

    Even further, different people have different degrees of, for lack of a better term here, jealousy towards their partner in regards to activities. I’m not implying your partner is toxic or a jealous sort, but a lunch “date” with a friend is acceptable for some partners, but crosses the line for others.

    I’m a bit confused by your comment. By workday, do you mean individual for employees, or do you mean “business days”, like when banking and financial transactions are historically run?

    4 day work week would be for individual (full time, salaried) employees, to have a 4 day/32 hour workweek instead of a 5 day/40 hour workweek (at the same compensation). Companies like Amazon running 7 days a week just means the business doesn’t close down over weekends or such, but doesn’t generally mean a given employee is working 7 days straight. (Though, it absolutely can result in employees working 7 days straight, depending on pay period, how weeks are broken down for scheduling and payroll, and whether overtime is allowed and/or encouraged.)


  • There was certainly a fad for going gluten free as a fad there for a while, but I haven’t really encountered any of that crowd in a bit. However, I definitely have friends with celiac disease and/or gluten allergies.

    While any sweeping claim is better when backed by data that supports it, I dont think this particular case is a hill I’d die on.


  • Other comment made great points on MintOS and PopOS for beginning a Linux journey.

    SteamOS isn’t available for a full PC release (that I am aware of), but Bazzite was made to be a full-distro alternative to SteamOS. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but it has good reception from what I see.

    Linux Mint is very easy to pick up, though, and I highly recommend for someone coming from Windows. It is fully functional through GUI and has several different flavors for the desktop environment. I’m a fan of KDE, but Cinnemon was also very nice. A version of KDE Plasma is what SteamOS 3.0 uses. I’m not as big of a fan of GNOME, but a lot of people love it as a mor elegant, modern desktop environment.
