How many US presidential elections do you think there have been since 1984?

My theory: women can't afford to be wrong in the workplace, and AI is often wrong.

For example, I've had a man (a dear friend!) send me text to review about why he wasn't getting a raise. It was roughly in the ballpark but it was overly formal in some parts, and aggressive where it shouldn't be. I edited it with better language before he sent it to HR. He got the raise, and told me I was better than ChatGPT (no duh). Maybe he'd have gotten the raise with the original text, but I doubt I would have.

This is true, but the larger the margin the more difficult it makes it for them to contest.

Vote. Bring your friends and family to vote. Call up your friends in other states and make sure they have a voting plan.

Voting won't magically fix our broken political machine but it will help us from sliding deeper in the hole. Vote like you're taking a stupid little walk outside for your mental health during lockdown- not the only way you should be taking care of things but important maintenance nonetheless.

Here's my favorite gargoyle

Headline is misleading, it should read something like "WP becomes 2nd major US newspaper to be embroiled in scandal as billionaire owners squash Harris endorsements"

If you're in the US, you may also want to look into FMLA leave. Certain states also have programs that stopgap poor employer parental leave coverage. Definitely see what is available to you!

Hi! Not strictly a lesbian here but in a lesbian relationship. Yes, lesbians have top/bottom dynamics typically in the "one doing the action" vs the "one being acted upon" across various different acts. Most switch it up ("vers"), rather than identifying primarily as tops or bottoms. If you are strictly a top or strictly a bottom, you're described as "stone" as in "stone top" or "stone bottom".

Very important that these are completely different roles than dominant/submissive/switch, which are BDSM terms and describe a more psychological aspect of a relationship than the more physical top/bottom/vers.

Look, folks in the US are extremely on edge about this election (that's both currently happening through early voting and the last day possible within 2 weeks), and in particular, foreign interference/propaganda. There's a lot of crap we're getting from every angle under the sun trying to get "the right people" to vote and "the wrong people" to stay at home, depending on the political inclination. It's exhausting and we're having a bad time. We know shit sucks here and we are trying our hardest to not descend further into fascism with a guy who literally admires Hitler. If we get some lightly progressive policies out of it, that's great. By pushing some "both parties suck" propaganda in this eleventh hour, everyone is going to dog pile you because we're sick of this so much.

Thank you lol

I am noting that OP didn't respond here, mayhaps they enjoy critiquing political circumstances they can't contribute to more than addressing their own? 🤔

And they edited the post to something innocuous! For anyone coming in late, the original was what u/Prunebutt here said but with US politics instead.

Bruh you're not even US American, get outta here with this defeatist crap. Don't you have your own right wing surge to fight in Germany?

If you get denied for coverage for something you know is in your plan always ask for the name and credentials of whoever made the denial! If they are not an MD they are not supposed to make that call as that can be interpreted as practicing medicine (determining if someone gets treatment or not) without a license. Often insurance companies will back down if you assert that you need a medical professional to review the denial /your appeal of the denial. (YMMV/IANAL)
