Man, the junk they put out as reality TV...but there's lots of good lessons to be learned in this clip if people know where to look...

Thanks for sharing. I can see why you did share it. Interesting interpretation of the action that was done. I think it was a terrible one honestly (by the one who did the action), but it does show that sometimes you overlook things you are doing, thinking that even though intentions might be "honest", the action overlooks the intention.

It also shows that sometimes wanting to take it back isn't enough, you need to own up and apologize or else it's essentially useless.

My sister loves this show, by the way.

Thoughts?

I saw their points and didn't really consider the issue with the perception but I get it from their viewpoint. It is sad that Sheryl and Gayle weren't really open to listening to what was said. However, I can agree with Sheryl's suggestion with leaving the door open for one on one meetings. I don't think that's a bad compromise.

Aside from that, the fear mentioned about even giving compliments is sad but it reminds me of something I heard recently from a vlogger that I watch. She mentioned that it is messed up that if a guy who is seen as attractive gives a compliment, it is seen as flattering but for a guy who's not, it's seen as creepy and asked why is that. Hearing that was something I never thought about before she said that. Somehow I wasn't aware that guys also noticed the same things until this video...

I view this from the same lens as a man of privilege gets a mail order bride and brings her to the USA to live as his wife.

She got a young boy toy and when he's not following instructions, she's a bit pissed...

My supervisor is female. One on one supervision is mandatory for my professional development. We discuss critical details of my work with clients. We cannot have an open door for our meetings because that violates confidentiality.

So what's the compromise then?

You raise a good question there. I'm not sure as every office does not have a window or glass panel. At work, the study rooms have a frosted glass panel. That way, we can see what's going on but it isn't transparent.

That's fair but from what I see, it's kinda valid for her. I don't know the context aside from what was shared but in my opinion, I have never heard of someone using Tinder to find friends...unless they are the kind to sleep with. It just doesn't make sense to me. There are other apps that can be used.

You can't control someone else but I guess we don't all have the same decency.

To me the point isn't about the room itself. Not every man who supervises a woman or every man who gets supervised by a woman is after them physically or tries to use gender in order for ulterior motives.

Most of my clients have always been female. I used to work with sexually charged yet vulnerable female adolescents. I even had one try to hit on me in my office during a session, very subtlety too. She could have easily felt spurned and made a complaint to my manager out of revenge or spite. If she did, maybe my reputation as being so buy the book and loved my nearly all my female clients would save me - and maybe it wouldn't have. I had less protection than my colleague below.

I saw a male colleague offering inappropriate (unsolicited religious based) advice at the old job. He had been less than 2 years from retirement and been a union employee. She was forced to resigned in order to get access to his benefits instead of outright fired. They weighed his service into account. Otherwise, he would have been fired outright and gotten nothing.

Even though the system is gender biased towards men, situations like these can be devastating. They exist and when women dismiss them so easily that's a mistake.

There's an old saying back home "you lay with dogs, you must get fleas". I don't discount his actions or dismiss that at all. What he did was inappropriate, and it does go without saying.

My point is simple: if you play in traffic, you'll get hit by a vehicle. If you're not playing in traffic, you don't get hit by a vehicle. So if she saw how immature this dude was, and still got with him, how is she different than a dude "trying to turn a ho into a housewife?"

Remember, she sponsored him and brought him into this country. I'm not discounting her emotional and or financial investment. I'm just saying sometimes you've got to call part of it for what it is - she went to a Bentley dealership to buy a Honda Pilot.

Wow. That's all I can say. I do agree with you though. It would be a hot mess if that was the case.

I have no counterpoint, just well said.

I laughed but you're so right

As I know, you can't change people. They have to want to change for themselves. I learned this from the previous relationship before the past one. I wasted time hoping that he'll change and he did... but after me with the next girl and mainly because he wanted to!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

This whole week is packed for me (in a good way!) so I'm working to be on top of my school stuff since I only have 2 nights to do my weekly work...
Technically, I have a 3rd night to do the last part of it but that's it.

Edit: Done 80% of the school stuff for the week and it's Monday! I think this calls for a fun reading break for the night.

So bought a case for the phone. It comes today. Phone should hopefully show up Thursday but may come earlier. Depends where it's shipping from.

I'm contemplating getting a large SD card now.

What size SD card? I'm using a 256 GB SD card.

Gorgeous photos. What did you shoot them with?

Was thinking 256GB. Seems like the best price point currently.

I need to do some searching around first to find the best deal.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

With cameras getting so fancy it would make sense to have either large storage or the availability of having SD cards and adaptive storage. Most OEMs don't allow the adaptive storage for some reason or another.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Since we've been told to do some post padding I think I'll do a review on a TV show series I'm currently watching (sort of, I'll explain).

Some caveats:

I'm not the most prolific watcher of movies or TV shows. I'm not into the whole binge watching scene. I'm not a fan of the over the top violence/sexualisation of TV shows in general. Lastly, as this is a historical drama, I'm not really into historical dramas especially when it's far removed from history itself. Especially when it wasn't required to do so.

One last point. I'll do my best not to say any spoilers in case someone wants to watch it.

I got mine 1½ years ago from Amazon during a holiday sale. Mine is a Samsung. I've had just as good quality with Samsung SD cards as I've had with SanDisk.
