  • Are you talking Australian Kmart or North American? In North America it was minimum wage for the vast majority of workers and zero benefits. I only made $11 USD (my store went under in 2016) as a supervisor with keys to the store and the safe, so it was a pretty shit arrangement. But it was a good stepping stone that got me into managing within the grocery industry, where I'm making significantly more for much more palatable work.

  • As a former PM Supervisor at Kmart, I think I just got mildly triggered by the K-Mart's store closing part. That liquidation process was hands down the most monumentally stressful and hellish period of my life. Fuck that company and everyone who turned up to plunder it.

  • It wasn't terrible for what it was. I just remember being let down after years of listening to my best friend's other friend telling me all of these promises he had fully subscribed to. It all sounded too good to be true, but both us and the industry itself were too young to have experienced overpromises like that. I thought maybe I just didn't know how far technology had come, and we were about to see it fully manifest in all its glory..

    But what we got was a fuck load of bloom and a few branching choices. And a marriage system that let you be gay. I definitely made my guy gay. Well, not at first. At first I married the barber because I thought I'd get free haircuts. That didn't work. So I made my guy gay.

  • Thanks for letting me know what that sounded like. Next time I'll add an /s at the end so that the dim individuals among us (not you, of course..) can more easily recognize humor on a sub that's devoted to it.

  • Those are valid observations. My bet is on a juvenile Great Blue Heron.

  • Damn.. Sandhill Cranes and corn fields really bring me 2,000 miles back home.

    (On closer inspection, that may actually be a heron. Can we get a ruling on this one?)

  • Hell yeah. That's like a level 14 quest reward right there. The first real sign of progression. Helm comes around 20.

  • Sometimes you just don't have time. Like, brother.. Come on.. I'm almost 40. It's not as easy to jackhammer my wife at the perfect angle for 25 straight minutes anymore. It's better for everyone, her included, if she helps rub that shit out and we can both be asleep by 10pm. We have work tomorrow, and you know our daughter's going to come pitter-pattering in here at 4:30am to say she's hungry because she couldn't be fucked to eat more than two beans and a half a chicken tender the night prior.

  • I know we don't have many spiritual types on here, but after my dad's unexpected death, I somehow took my deep reverence for nature and my strong nostalgia for little things like that first leaf crunching beneath my foot, and I turned it into my own brand of spirituality.

    I don't know if it's akin to a form of animism or what, but (while my beliefs certainly go deeper than observational things and border on druidry more than anything) there almost seems to be a profound spirit that exists within these moments that connects us all to them, and they stir something inside of me far more than any religious tale or sermon ever could.

    I don't know what it all means or if it's even real, but it brings me an immense sense of comfort.

  • What's your test for people?

    Jump

  • My wife and I do this, but I've always wondered whether I'm actually helping or just creating a different kind of inconvenience by not organizing them in a beneficial way.

  • Well, I honestly can't say that's any more delusional than claiming to be a spiritually attuned being who answers the war cries of the Republican party. I've never seen a shaman more in need of a mushroom trip.

  • In Grade 6 we had a new girl in my school who I got on with really well. The cooler guys among us apparently thought she was dope too, and when I started dating her suddenly, one of them was like, "Congrats, bro. I didn't know ya had it in you!" I was on top of world.

    Then one day shortly after, she showed up to school with this super tight, greasy, old lady perm. The kind that's like nearly flat to your head, that old women in the 90s would wear a clear plastic bag over. The thing looked bonkers. I spent the next couple of days trying to distance myself from her and that haircut, and found some petty reason to break up with her. She thought I was a total asshole (rightfully), but moved on. Years later I saw her again and that old lady cut was gone. She was doing way better than me.

    Flash forward to my mid-twenties, I'm dating this other girl and she goes and gets a new haircut. Blonde dye job and everything. I can only describe the results as a genuine Dutch Boy (example below). But I had learned my lesson and I stuck it out. I wasn't going to make that same mistake over a haircut. A few weeks while later she fucked some greasy dude from Raleigh, North Carolina, and that was the end of that.

  • My thing is that during my 15-minutes of toilet time each morning, when my brain is coming to and my mind starts perking up, I either get deeply sentimental for some reason and start commenting some of the most heartfelt and poetic shit, or I think I'm a well-established comedian and start dropping some weird/gross jokes that strangers could easily wind up taking seriously and think I'm a fiend.

    The sentimental stuff always goes over well, but the jokes are either overlooked entirely, or they hit and my ego thinks I just performed at Madison Square Garden.

  • Why does my brain think I still need counterpoints for arguments I had ten years ago?

    Jump

  • It has to be ego. I set my ego aside constantly and try to be open minded, and I am very open minded, but sometimes in privacy it's just so goddamn big for no fucking reason... Like when rehashing a 10-year-old argument in the shower.
