I thought it was a myth that kids got tangled up in the cord until my kid did it. Thank God I was standing near by.

My kids are autistic, so this would be a -11/10 for them.

I'm currently at this part: Therapist: "what about today? Is today the worst day of your life?" Peter: "Yeah" Therapist: "Wow. That's messed up"

Underrated comment.

Maybe I'm misreading your comment (coffee hasn't kicked in yet), but are you saying the bot is incorrect or that people view the bot as incorrect because it doesn't support their biases?

OMG, what a nightmare. I can only assume you are looking for work elsewhere too. Best of luck to you!!

I currently work for a large corporation with one of the worst HR strategies I've ever seen. Their primary focus, as far as I can tell, is to prevent employees from suing the company. But here's how it practically works out: It is really difficult to promote or get raises for high performers, which makes them a flight risk. That is coupled with it being equally difficult to remove low performers. It takes 6 months to get someone on a PIP, then another 6 months to go through the PIP process. Meanwhile the high performers have to pick up the slack without any extra comp. No one who is any good wants to work in that environment. So what you end up with is a death spiral of talent and increasingly worse products and services. I can't get out of here fast enough.

I, too, eat kiwis this way.

I think the tax (including what is taxed and number of brackets) is state dependent. But generally speaking the idea is to not penalize people for buying necessities. But you are right, it is super confusing especially if not noted on the receipt. Check out Washington state's rules if you want your brain to hurt: https://dor.wa.gov/education/industry-guides/restaurants-and-retailers-prepared-food/retail-sales-tax#:~:text=Sales%20of%20prepared%20food,food%20from%20retail%20sales%20tax.
