| Topic | Whats your preferred work schedule? |
| Solid Sonic 01/17/22 2:08:41 PM #7 | Doe posted... I reject work schedules I feel the compulsion to challenge you to prove what an accomplished life you live in spite of your worldview. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |
| Topic | Whats your preferred work schedule? |
| Solid Sonic 01/17/22 2:05:29 PM #5 | None of those. 9-80. Eight days across two weeks where you work 9-hour days then a single 8-hour day one week and an off-day the following week. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |
| Topic | Have you had Covid-19? |
| Solid Sonic 01/16/22 7:37:02 PM #7 | Maybe. My dad had the omicron variant and I spent a lot of time around him but I never actually felt that sick myself. I may have caught it at some point but the effects were almost nil if I did. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |

| Topic | Should I pay market price for a refurbished PS5? |
| Solid Sonic 01/16/22 4:41:29 PM #17 | R_Jackal posted... There's nothing on new consoles that is really worth it yet imo. Well that you can't get for PS4/XB1. Not worth paying retail for used anyway. Since a PS5 can do everything a PS4 can that's enough of a reason to get one whenever since it can just replace the PS4. The thing that has me holding out is I want to see if they release a "Pro" revision. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |
| Topic | Should I pay market price for a refurbished PS5? |
| Solid Sonic 01/16/22 4:32:46 PM #12 | Axiom posted... You should never buy a refurbished console period. They are just used consoles that were tested and maybe dusted We ARE talking about a system that was released only a bit over a year ago. This isn't something that sat in someone's garage for 7 years. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |

| Topic | How can you go through life and never insult anyone? |
| Solid Sonic 01/16/22 4:20:39 PM #1 | I feel like society is making it less and less okay to hurl insults for any reason. Like someone people are just SO FUCKING GODDAMN STUPID THAT THEY CAN BARELY FEED THEMSELVES EXCEPT THEY'RE FAT AND SMELL HORRIBLE SO CLEARLY THEY CAN and I just can't keep that pent up for the rest of my life. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |

| Topic | Is closing topics broken? |
| Solid Sonic 01/16/22 4:16:13 PM #1 | I made a shit topic that direly needed to be closed before someone else could post in it and make fun of how bad it was and I had to wait until 10 minutes since the final post was made before I could do so. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |

| Solid Sonic 01/16/22 4:10:14 PM #25 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Well taken in that light you aren't owed anything than what you previously paid for. You got books, you weren't being assured of any further installments just because you already committed to what was made available.

| Topic | Are you going to stop having Netflix due to their sudden price hike? |
| Solid Sonic 01/16/22 3:52:15 PM #40 | SantaKhala posted... lol, I've canceled netflix and amazon over a year ago. Piracy provides me with everything I need, and at a much lower cost. Arr. Piracy is fine so long as you're not smug about it. If you condescend to people who are willing to pay then that's where you've crossed the line. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |

Not for people who pay for WWE Network. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |

| Topic | lmao another Netflix price increase |
| Solid Sonic 01/14/22 8:33:57 PM #35 | IMO a better strategy for them would be to offer yearlong subscriptions at a discount over month-to-month. At some point they should pivot instead of simply raising prices to finance their expansion. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |

| Topic | Is 2 weeks notice necessary when quitting? |
| Solid Sonic 01/11/22 3:22:57 PM #44 | EmbraceOfDeath posted... Why the hell would employers get two weeks but employees don't? Because of at-will employment law. You know it when you signed the employee handbook and it's state law. It sucks but it's reality. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |

| Topic | Is 2 weeks notice necessary when quitting? |
| Solid Sonic 01/11/22 2:54:53 PM #40 | SnipeStar posted... The whole "YoUrE iNcOnVeNiEnCiNg ThE cOmPaNy" is such a dumb take; okay then, if the company doesn't want to suffer this "inconvenience" then tell them to stop making their employees miserable enough to quit. I was ready to walk away from my last job several times, having seen many people before do it regularly (as an IT person I was required to shut down accounts when people were terminated) but it had nothing to do with the company. They were very nice and respectful but I just loathed what I was doing and I was constantly feeling underwhelmed by my role. The only thing that kept me there was my need for professionalism but the thought of just going to lunch and never coming back was a constant presence in my head. I finally separated amicably in October, although I'm still unemployed because the job I did accept hasn't actually onboarded me due to my government clearance still being in process. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |

| Solid Sonic 01/11/22 2:46:21 PM #31 | RchHomieQuanChi posted... Plus it was Call Center work so meh. Call centers are definitely the sort of job where I would think about it because the whole thing revolves around an easily replaceable workforce. Bodies are interchangeable in a job like that so you're no different than the person whose seat you filled or the one who will fill it next. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |
| Topic | Is 2 weeks notice necessary when quitting? |
| Solid Sonic 01/11/22 2:39:05 PM #23 | RchHomieQuanChi posted... The company wouldn't give you a two weeks notice if they were firing you, so there's no obligation to pay them that courtesy. Yes but that shouldn't be the DEFAULT approach. They should have had it coming if you drop them like a bad habit. If you just walk off a job that treats you well and respected you then you're being a d-bag. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. |
