  • “Elbows up” is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean “get ready to fight” (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.

    I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It’s not elbows up. It’s daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. “Elbows off the table!”





  • I still do not understand what’s going on with this.

    1. What is the end goal? Is he just sexually excited by hiring children to roleplay him being famous, or is the hope (for him. A terrible word obviously) that he will have some opportunity to assault or abuse one of these children?
    2. Where is the money from? This question should be what the cops focus on. He or someone is bankroling this bizarre behavior somehow. If what he is doing is illegal (which I also still don’t know if it is??) then shut the money down and jail the people bankroling it.
    3. I just really don’t understand











  • I (mid 30s woman) am boss and I txtd one of my guys who isn’t around very often (he works a different shift basically, sometimes we overlap, usually we don’t)

    “Hey 60 year old married man when you have a minute. Swing by my office, I’ve got something for you.”

    I had a company gift to give him.

    Auto complete decided the lips emoji was the best ending to my TXT. You know, the sexy red kissy lips.

    I NEVER use that emoji. I never use emojis, when I told this story to other workers who I TXT regularly they were like “you yeah write out jazz hands or *sparkle emoji”

    But my phone knew what that innocent TXT needed. Awkward, potentially work relationship ruining lips.


  • I gave a month’s notice at a job I was leaving. I was moving on, it wasn’t a shit job but I was ready to move up and they weren’t promoting me to the types of jobs I wanted. No hard feelings.

    Until I have my month’s notice. I had been there 3 years and assumed we would take a week or so to hire someone, then I could train them on the job the last 2 weeks. It sure would have helped me when I started.

    I wish I’d giving 3 days. They had no interest in including me in the new hire process (this is a small business, only 2 other people above me, owner and accountant) and basically it felt like they were waiting on me to leave so they could bring in their new pick.

    Now I did end up working for that company in the position I wanted part time for a couple years after that, so I guess just not showing up would have been way worse, but I found that time period incredibly stressful and still don’t understand the motives.
