Yeah, I’ve worked retail too and I don’t think I would have done this, even if I did have another task to complete.
This cashier’s lane light was on. They smiled at me, came to help, scanned my items, and let me pay. Then, rather than scanning the man’s six items, they put up their closed sign and walked away without saying a word while leaving their lane light on. It felt hostile and rude.
Thank you, I appreciate it. It’s honestly weighing on me that I didn’t say something. I guess the best that I can do is to do better next time something similar happens.
Thank you. You don’t think that speaking up would be more embarrassing for the man that what already happened? I feel terrible that I didn’t act more appropriately in the moment, but I was too shocked to think of a good response to the situation.
I like this. This is the mentality I plan to take with me in case of future situations. I feel terrible that I wasn’t present enough to act appropriately in the moment.
She’s a bad ass for just having the guts to go out there like that. Good for her! I’d be mortified to try that…
How does the archive.org exemption work? When is it voted on next?
Unless you are salaried. Being salaried normally comes with flexibility but gives no guarantees for breaks and number of hours worked.
I came here to say the same thing. We don’t judge Gone With The Wind by current standards. Why judge Star Wars by current standards? It’s half a century old and societal morals and norms have changed significantly.
The name comes from the name of the person who first proposed the Julian Calendar, Julius Caesar.
Other instances hosted outside of Russia but available from inside Russia can still federated with them, though, right?
I don’t think we actually have “too many elephants” but I imagine they would be very difficult to live around.
I found a source that supports your “almost half” number for microplastics contribution from synthetic clothing.
The source is a little lacking in that they don’t have real numbers for synthetic textile contribution to microplastics, just the overall contribution of textiles to micropolution, but they do talk about the relationships between the two.
I keep hearing random statistics about sources of microplastics and have no idea what to believe at this point. Just yesterday I saw something saying that 78% of microplastics come from tires.
I’m fairly sure that the admins of lemmy.world said that we could expect a big spike in active users after the upgrade to 1.19 due to a change in how active users are calculated. I can’t seem to find the post now, though.
I think it is hard to find sources that firmly support the charge of genocide but I also think it is an argument with having. Most, if not all sources are biased in one way or another and can be discounted if you don’t like their particular bias.
That said, some, like Amnisty International, think that not allowing aid into Gaza is a genocidal act which seems like a reasonable argument when children are dying of starvation and aid is being blocked.
Human Rights Watch has another good article describing ways in which Isreal is complying with the IJC orders to recuce civilian casualties.
the court ordered Israel on January 26, 2024, to “take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian aid,” and to report back on its compliance to the specific measures “within one month.”
One month later, however, Israel continues to obstruct the provision of basic services and the entry and distribution within Gaza of fuel and lifesaving aid, acts of collective punishment that amount to war crimes and include the use of starvation of civilians as a weapon of war.
I recognize that these sources are biased but i think you’d be hard pressed to find a source that isn’t biased with respect to this conflict. Lack of coverage of atrocities is, itself, a form of bias.
Personally, I’d say that at least a portion of what is happening in Gaza could be considered to be genocide. It doesn’t appear that Isreal has done much to mitigate civilian deaths and may be actively trying to increase the civilian death toll.
That’s true. They may not be factoring in government benefits. Things like universal health care.
Hah, oops, I thought you meant that you learned this lesson as a non native english speaker! I must have misunderstood.
Out of curiosity, how would you say “this saturday” and “next saturday” in your native language and what would the literal translation be?
Wow, how many students are they expecting? I assume they’ll be pulling from a lot of the surrounding area.
Ah, “buy” was a typo but it wasn’t meant to be “boy”. I know better than that. It was meant to be “guy”.
