@mietze There is, in fact, a fake nipple built into the bra. Best of all, it’s in a kind of weird placement that doesn’t look quite right on any of the three different models, IMO.
For the low low price of $64, you too could have large artificial nipples in a highly visible but awkward spot!

@Aria Everything about this is deeply weird.

Look, I don’t make the fake nipple bra rules here, man. I just bring them to everyone else’s attention like the friend at the candle store who goes, “Ohmigod, this one is repulsive. Here, smell it!”

Now imagine for a moment someone is cold, they’re wearing this, and that’s not where their nipples are in their bra so now it looks like they have like a million nipples.

I feel like this might be good for women who have had double mastectomies and got fake breasts? But I don’t know why you’d want them poking out like that.

I had briefly considered that, since my mother and grandmother both had breast cancer. But every silicone prosthetic that I’ve ever seen for them was designed with a hint of one already included and this bra doesn’t have the little pocket you’d put the forms in, anyway.
So I think this really is some sort Escherian, impossible object expression of women’s beauty standards?
“Show off your nipples! But not your nipples, because ew.”

Today was the sort of day where:
- I finally had a long enough break in my work to shower at… 6:30 PM.
- At 7:00PM, I had to log back in because one of my co-workers called me crying.
Also, our leadership has apparently decided that the best way to get us the additional writer/content producer we desperately need in 2025 is to… get rid of our project manager. At a time when our book of business has increased by 40%. Because that totally makes sense.

And now not only do I need a password that contains thirty-seven characters, at least one umlaut, exactly three upper-case H’s, and Jon Bon Jovi’s shorts size, I also need a six digit PIN.
To pay a bill.
I am so grateful for these impossible security measures that make paying a bill a three-hour process of resetting passwords and answering security questions to do so.
It doesn’t store my payment method, see, so as far as I can tell, only the very worst thing could happen. Somebody could crack my account and pay my bill for me, and I’d be so horrified I’d never recover.

And their website gives me an error.
Of course, I started this process night before last, it gave me the error then, too. And again last night. So I spend a couple of hours with the text-chat customer support guy. Who gets the same error, and tells me to call a voice number. So I do. And get put on hold and disconnected while on hold three times. And then get told that I will have to pay an extra $5 to have an agent process a payment for me instead of doing it myself on the website. And then can’t do it anyway, because of the same error that stops me from doing it. What is the solution? It’s for me to go pay in person. Which also costs an extra $5, by the way.
I am just gonna go off and wait for death.

@Gashlycrumb That seems like it can’t be legal, charging you extra that way.

I just realized that while I would love to participate in the Kellogg boycott - they also produce the foods my disordered eating child will eat when all else fails.
I feel like they bank on that fact. I’m not going to let my kiddo, who at one point in her life didn’t have access to food, not eat because she can’t stomach anything beyond her comfort food.

The company that I’ve been proud to work for just made us sit through an hour long meeting that was a naked attempt to bust a union. Fifteen coworkers or so that I thought were cool toed the company line with prepared remarks and it was freaking nauseating to watch.
Friendship ended with company. LinkedIn is my new best friend now.

I mean, all companies will try to bust unions. Unions are antithetical to every company’s bottom line.
That doesn’t make them anything other than ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

@Coin They will. This being a tiny crunchy granola ‘we’re your friends’ employer, it was just a knife in the gut to see them treat it like a Fortune 500 company would.
Not surprising. Just disappointing.

Our office opens at 8:30 AM. My workday begins at 9:30 AM – which is clearly posted on my office profile, my Outlook, and my Teams, the last of which provides a gray warning message that reads ‘Send during their normal working hours of 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM?’ if you try to message me outside that time.
If you, co-worker from a different department, call me multiple times in a row at 7:45 in the morning, I’m going to assume that it’s because it’s a fucking emergency and not that you want an update on something that’s already been reviewed and edited and which is not going out for another… <checks watch> four hours.
PS - When I call you back ten minutes later and you don’t answer the phone, and then ignore your Teams messages for the next 30 minutes, I’m going to be extra double pissed.

I don’t watch many shows these days, so I’m probably super late on the uptake, and I’m sure this has been a thing for a while …
But someone recently recommended I watch a show on Amazon Prime, so I did, and now I’m mad to realise suddenly there are ads and I have to pay extra on top of my membership to remove them??
Don’t I already pay for unencumbered viewing with the Prime membership itself? smdh. fkin bezos.
(Yes I know this is very much a first world problem peeve.)
EDIT: For anyone with the same peeve — swapping from AdBlock to uBlock Origin did the trick.

Being a single dad on father’s weekend sucks balls. Kids forget about it even they talked it up spent money on candy and video games for themselves. Than had to buy a new swimsuit for one of them due to losing it and having to need it for a trip at school. Just feel fucking alone and like I’m not respected nor appreciated.
(Edited: To clarify)

@BloodAngel that definitely sucks. I don’t know what age your kids are, but without an adult getting on their cases about it, I think it’s really just not in their natures to remember holidays like that. I usually buy myself something I want and say ‘this is my Mother’s Day gift from you.’ I guess what I’m saying is, it might hurt but it’s not personal, and take the opportunity to do something nice for yourself.
