I’m a guy looking for ideas to make a first date more romantic with social distancing involved. We’re going to the park to hang out with my dog and her dog, but I really want to make her feel special. By the way, we are aged 14-15
Thanks
I live with my possibly narcissistic grandmother, she is about 75 years old and has progressive hearing loss. Basically, it's almost impossible to get her into therapy now, and if she is truly narcissistic, I've heard that the personality disorder (PD) doesn't have a good prognosis even in suffer...
@Tinkeringbell Twitter is a weird place. I follow a few IPS people, like 2 politicians, and some sportswriters who cover my favorite football team. Then I search for hashtags when my internet is out to see if my provider is having trouble.
@Rainbacon I follow quite a few people, and use it to kill time looking at e.g. hashtags (crochet, animal crossing). That last bit is where Twitter is getting more and more useless now that people are abusing hashtags for unrelated things. This morning, animal crossing was taken over with black lives matter crap.
They go to a coworker and start shit with them and then later in the week go to me and start the same crap and use my earnest attempts of trying to square their inane demands with reality as proof that the other coworker is intentionally sabotaging, thus causing me indirectly to damage my coworkers and stirring up tension
we're all aware of how it works and they're doing this to each of us, but it's hard to counteract without, idk, going on a strike?
:|... Grapevines? A way for your coworkers to let you know "boss came to me about X, I told em Y" so you can tell your bosses Y too, or to ask the first coworker? :P
That last one will give a very strong 'We're onto you', though it might not de-escalate.
And this morning they used our arguments from yesterday that a software feature would take longer because this is a specialized place with specialized employees and that we'll need specialized software to enable these people to do their jobs to conclude that they're all intentionally sabotaging
Getting some help is never wrong, if you feel you need it... but if the situation over there is similar to here, even therapists may have long waiting lists :/
I know they say to never quit without having anything else lined up but... I remember you said you had the finances to take 2/3 years without a job, but keeping your current level of spending? Perhaps...
but my offhand comments about effectiveness of workflows yesterday was abused to justify one for people who have been working hard and can not afford it
even though my own job isn't (yet) at risk, I feel like I have to walk on eggshells around everyone in management because they'll glom on to the most innocous comment and use it to justify abuse against coworkers
Then don't kick yourself too hard over this. You shouldn't have to do this in the first place, and the fact that you're trying real hard but sometimes fail isn't your fault.
@M.A.R. yesterday we were talking in the weekly standup about the efficiency of a certain process
we argued we should spend extra time incorporating a few improvements to get people to be in better spirits about accepting the change, because we'd had difficulties getting buy-in from people early on in their project when we just did the bare minimum first and took away a lot of their features
we mentioned one specific department as having a (necessarily) complicated workflow and how hard it was for them to adjust to losing features early on until we fixed it. And they somehow twisted that into coming down on that department (who had done nothing wrong!) like a ton of bricks
out of "we shouldn't plan on taking away people's effective and productive tools" they somehow made "this other department was having difficulties adapting to a whole new system, they must have sabotaged the project!"
i see no reason to step further with the recruiter, it was an honest mistake and the recruiter agreed to schedule it to another suitable time For that matter i don't understand what OP means by building rapport

Today I had a scheduling mishap for a phone screening with a recruiter. She had the meeting scheduled at 1:30 p.m., and I sincerely thought it was scheduled at 3:00p.m. I work in an area where I don't have immediate access to my phone, nor can I hear it ring. She called at 1:30, an...
@CaldeiraG I tested it out.. It takes 4.2 seconds for 100 MB file, 44 seconds for 1 GB file & I think it will scale like that for a 780 GB(78 billion new lines) file too.
shuf is fantastic. I tried in on a 78 Billion line text file and it did the job in less than 1 minute. — AshJan 19 '16 at 8:13
My question is how do I deescalate this situation and live here without the stress of conflict:
I live in a house with couple other people. Some areas are shared, like the kitchen and bathroom. A new tenant moved in and has been continually complaining to the landlord about me, often without eve...
I met this girl in my new college. We had some similar interests that no one else in the entire college has that we know of. We got to talking during this quarantine, I found her relatable in more ways than I could have ever imagined (dream girl). So i asked if we could be more than friends. She ...
