but if they aren’t working for you, pay someone else

My realtor was never on time to a single showing. He never knew the answer to any question without taking time to look it up himself. He couldn’t remember my specifications and his reading comprehension was non-existent as I had to repeat myself many, many times to get any kind of point across.

If I hadn’t gotten my house when I did, I would have dropped him. If I were any other kind of business owner and one of my employees acted like that people would think I was a fucking moron for keeping them on.

Your realtor is your employee. Don’t be afraid to fire them for shitty performance.

I listen to a small fan generating white noise and sometimes my cat purring

Now that you say that, yeah, I do hear that kinda shit from my older and, ironically, youngest coworkers. I’ve given up arguing with them.

Union worker myself. I am also baffled by the strong conservative undercurrent in my fellows’ views. Don’t know how they sustain it.

Their FAQ page for the holiday hole was fucking incredible. “The Onion on a good day” level comedy

Yeah, I don’t think we’ve had a real “natural state” since we discovered agriculture. Our whole thing is kinda setting ourselves above/apart from nature

Same with my kitty cat, she curls up tight against my chest, in my arms 💕 she is snuggled there at this exact moment, even, since I’m putzing around on lemmy instead of getting out of bed just yet

Am an American in my mid 30s. Recently bought my first and almost certainly only house. There is so much stuff about homeownership that feels like a luxury vs renting.

I’m a somewhat tall guy and my house’s only bathtub is too small to do this. God knows when if ever I’ll have the money to renovate that.

and his complaints that the GOP was too focused on “religious liberty” instead of “Christian nation-ism.”

This mouldering motherfucker really thought no one would notice what he was saying if he dropped an “al” from the middle of a word

Yeah, I thought this was an entirely different story at first

Bitten by a radioactive housecat, I gain the ability to sleep deeply and comfortably in a position that by all rights looks like it should be destroying my spine

Like I’ll take whatever else you wanna throw on top, night vision or claws or something, but I only really need that first thing

Cool, now actually enforce that judgment

Good god, Hues and Cues almost brought my family to blows

My mom’s been trying to make us a board game family for over 30 years and she still hasn’t succeeded, lol

I have today off, and no obligations to anyone or anything. The world is my oyster, friend. So y’know, pretty good. It’s still early morning my time zone (stupid internal clock set for AM shifts) so I’m just snuggling with the cat and putzing around on my phone before I get up.

My only complaint today is that my coffee grinder finally died last week so I’ll have to resort to the pre-ground for my coffee when I do get up in a bit. I’m not a coffee snob by any means but you can totally taste the difference, so I might get a little crazy today and add some oat milk or perhaps even sugar. I know, I’m a wild man.

I was correct, this is information I did not explicitly need and find yucky. Thanks!

I feel I’m gonna regret asking but what, pray tell, is the “fundie baby voice” you speak of?

Lizardman’s Constant is 4%

I can’t find anything on actual NK forces being deployed. Another user linked an article in English and near the end it postulates that this is sort of a win-win for NK that they can help their ally while gathering test data for the vehicles

That’s fucking weird, my reddit account wasn’t quite a decade old and I got an offer, ninja edit to add “that I obviously did not accept”
