Superman isn't woke. You're just so evil that you see a man doing acts of kindness and you think it's a targeted political agenda

This but for people this post is talking about. 🤣

Get peer reviewed, bitch.

Me, Catholic, walking into a Protestant church with no depictions of Mary: where’s my mom

Me, culturally Protestant, walking into a Catholic church filled balls to the walls with paintings sculptures candles and god knows what else: why’s there so much stuff

Me, Orthodox, walking into a western church:  w h e r e   a r e   t h e   b o n e s

Me, vampire, walking into any denominational holy place: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Me, a janitor, sweeping up the vampires ashes: where the fUCk did all this dirt come from

Me, the vampire’s loyal (if annoyed) thrall, digging through the trash bin in the middle of the night with a vial of blood in hand: why does she keep DOING this, this is worse than the time she convinced herself that horseradish would cancel out garlic and insisted on eating Italian. Why would crossing your fingers cancel out a cross? I swear if she tries to cross running water by walking over a bridge backwards…

A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.

Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, he’s just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because it’s framed as a punishment.

Another family use a baseball cap. It’s just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When they’re out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell he’s being punished because it’s in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.

And there isn’t the same contempt afterwards I’ve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said “Sorry Ellie” and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.

The psych nerds found out ages ago that punishments that make the child think for a few minutes (about one minute or year of age until they're tweens) is much more helpful to develope social intelligence and understanding than punishments which prevents thinking, like the ones that involve pain. In fact, corporal punishment encouraged lying, extreme reactions, violent outbursts, go figure, they don't trust you.

This is all really fucking serious and important and I'm mainly reblogging for that, because this correct mentality needs to be spread around more, but I'm also reblogging because I absolutely lost it at the child who dreads having to wear the normal blue hat of shame.

I really wish there was an option on those Customer Service Surveys that says specifically, “The representative I spoke to was lovely and helpful and deserves all of the raises but I think that you, as a corporation, should die in a fire.”

hey as somebody who works in one of those companies that sends out those surveys, never, NEVER mention how much you hate the company in them. just talk about the representative. then, go to the company’s social media page and blast your bad reviews there

those surveys decide our pay, they decide whether we get bonuses or not, they decide if we get to keep our jobs or not. i’ve read transcripts on surveys where it’s has been praising the representative but mentioned one bad thing about the company. that fell to the representative because they should have been enough to sway the customers opinion.

Hey just to add on, if you liked the representative, and the survey is asking for opinions on a scale of 0-10… please give the rep 10′s across the board.  Don’t try to be thoughtful and detailed and put down a 7 or an 8 or a 9.  A lot of times anything below a 9 or 10 counts as a zero (no, for real) and guess who it comes back to?  That’s right, the customer service rep.

At my job anything below a 10 is zero and our store is graded on our survey % so if anyone even puts 9s across the board it’s a 0 in the end and heavily brings down our stores score- which can lead to firings,

corporations: more horrible than i thought

Saw this at a McDonald’s once and when my dad worked at Kohls they had a similar policy. Always mark highly satisfied if you were happy with your service

corporate is full of insane morons that lack humanity for charts like this to exist

Oh is this not common knowledge yet?? This applies to literally any situation in which you’re asked to give customer feedback on any kind of scale. Anything short of pure 10/10 can get someone written up, cost them some pay or cost them their entire job. I was doing food delivery a year ago and enough people gave me 4/5 instead of 5/5 on the app that my overall score bordered on only a 90% or whatever and if it dropped just a point below that I’d have been booted permanently out of the system. This was also my only source of income at the time other than patreon, which just covered our rent, so this was my only source of money for gas or clothes or anything else. For some people it’s their only source of income INCLUDING rent……..or they literally just live in their car that they use to do these deliveries. Give perfect 10′s to every single employee of every type of business if you don’t want to risk putting somebody out on the street, for real.

Lost and Found

I've been really nostalgic for Steven Universe lately, and I have so much love and appreciation for the show I grew up with, so I thought I should make something nice to sort of give back, y'know? Anyways, I hope you enjoy. <3
