Tbf, I do feel spouses have a duty to hold eachother to a higher standard than friends do. For mutual improvement, growth, etc… And shared ownership/finances is huge. And often raising kids. Marriage is a lot more than just friendship, though that is a massively important part.

chisel@piefed.socialtoNPCs (NonPolitical Comics)@piefed.social•Solving for Low Productivity [Work Chronicles]English
20·2 days agoIn my experience, it’s less PIP and more “let’s schedule daily check-in meetings and please send us hourly updates in Slack.”
The trick is to be overly communicative before it gets to that point and push back on things when you can. People are generally understanding, but watching time pass without having any clue what progress is being made is scary. Especially when there are important deadlines and you have no control over or insight into the project status. Quell those fears without impacting your productivity too much and everyone will be much happier.
A can of beans a day keeps the heart disease away! 🫘
Will someone please give me a step-by-step guide on how to make new friends under 60 and have consistent daily “human experiences” outside of a city center?
I’d love to give up my phone and possibly TV… if it everyone else does too so there are other humans to interact with. Society is in a depressing cath-22 of loneliness.
Though it can’t be impossible. Group hobbies, sports, etc exist. Just gotta pick one and go to meet ups. But phone is so much easier 🤤

Yeah, this is the breaking point 🙄

19·1 month agoThe article clearly states that the plants aren’t needed, not even to power AI. They’re literally keeping them running purely to pollute and own the libs.

36·2 months agoIt’s anti-consumer as hell, but is it really enough to keep servicing only to dealerships? Seems like someone can machine a tool head for this in like two seconds, it’s just two prongs. What’s stopping a manufacturer from selling tools for it and individuals/mechanics from buying the tool? Can they patent the tool and not sell it to anyone?

Aussie Enviro@aussie.zone•Free roaming cats should be illegalEnglish
6·2 months agoMy previous cat was absolutely terrified of the outdoors. She liked looking out of windows, but I walked her 5 feet out the front door once, holding her the entire time. Afterwards, she’d watch that door on alert while sitting with me on the couch rather than nap like she used to. Did that for a month or two at least, maybe longer.
Anecdotal, but sometimes cats and outdoors don’t mix. It’s never a necessity.
The rescue I use makes you sign a contract saying that the cats you adopt will be strictly indoor cats. It’s better for them, too, not just for the environment.

That’s partly the point. Use words that accurately describe your evil group to incorrectly describe other groups and all of a sudden the words lose meaning and nobody can call you that anymore. Hooray!
