Just wondering, I unfortunately just got fired for the 2nd time in a row last night since I've been stuck in training for nearly a month and had trouble getting past certain audio tests (I had difficulty trying to understand and repeat after/dictate them because they're so unclear and warbled up). Then, I get called by my center manager letting me know the bad news (even he seemed sad of it) that he sent my last test score results (which have gotten dramatically worse) to HR and they decided to force my manager to terminate my employment because of those last test score results (after 12 failed attempts). I guess HR felt that this job might have been a little too much for me to handle since I tend to have speech problems (stuttering and losing breath once in a while) and possibly some degree of hearing problems.

My job before that one, I was fired supposedly for performance reasons (not meeting up to certain standards) but it's really because the management over at that place was pretty horrible and was an overall very hostile work environment. They always put unrealistic standards on their employees, especially new hires and they played favorites with certain people.

I'm a community college student (who's been in CC for 3 years and still trying to knock off all my pre-requisite and still probably need almost one more year to do so) who still living with parents because I literally can't afford to live (food, shelter, water, education, etc.). I've been in credit card debt for a couple of months and was only able to pay off a fraction of the debt from the last month. Now, I have to be back on unemployment insurance AGAIN just to heavily rely on it as my source of income.

So am I pretty much done for with my life and have no purpose to live anymore?

You are in court as a juror
You see a officer come out with a woman on a doggy leash while she walks on all 4 and treat her like a dog. She then looks at you.
Poll Question: Would you response be different if it was a man on the leash?

A man is accusing Starbucks of age discrimination after he says the coffee chain banned him from a store in Washington state after he asked one of its teen baristas on a date.

The 37-year-old man, who will not identify himself because he hasn't been charged with a crime, told CBS News that he was at Starbucks on Main Street in Downtown Spokane and wrote a note asking a 16-year-old barista out for dinner.

'I was flirted with by a barista. For some reason she thought I was funny. Said I was funny. So I gave her a note to see if she'd be interested in dinner', the man wrote in a public Facebook post that has since gone viral.

He said he returned to the Starbucks the following day and a Spokane police officer told him he was banned from the location.

Spokane police said businesses are allowed to refuse service to anyone who is causing trouble or being disruptive for as long as they see fit.

So, Starbucks was legally allowed to ban the man from that location. But he says he's being discriminated against because of his age.

'I know the female Starbucks barista was of legal age to date. I broke no laws. I merely took a chance with my heart. I'm tired of hearing the word "creep" as any black person or gay person is tired of hearing certain words. I have a whole webpage dedicated to age gap love', the man wrote.

He asked people on Facebook to contact Starbucks and complain, but his call-to-action was met with some opposition.


People commented on the Spokane Starbucks' Facebook page, mostly praising the business for banning the man from the location.

A Starbucks spokesperson said the company supports how the business handled this situation.

'We have no tolerance for any such inappropriate behavior or harassment, and we will continue to support our store partners and local authorities investigating the situation'.

This guy killed a bunch of people, robbed people and was in prison.

You would think women would not like him but they went crazy at his mugshot and were tracking his every move like crazy and wanting to fuck him. They knew when he was being released where he was going and basically he had attractive American women all stalking this criminal who killed people.
After being released from prison he got tracked down by modelling agencies and now live a good life with his family and baby moma. On that CEO/10K a day time.

Do you think it's fucked up that our society only cares about 3 things today: MONEY, LOOKS, SOCIAL STATUS?

Asexual people exception.

Is it because of respect? Mannerism? Share your thoughts.🤔

If you're muslim, what would happen if you told your family that you don't believe in allah?

And if disowning is a common practice, then does that mean that Christianity is more tolerant?

Whilst Djokovic, Nadal and Federer earn huge amounts of money, travel the world and live like kings, in 2012 the 150th ranked player earned just $75,000 in prize money, and the 200thranked player just $20,780. If you are ranked 200, you are damn good, but will still struggle to make a living.
Serena Williams, for example, has more than $70 million dollars in career prize money. She and her sister Venus once bragged they could beat any man outside the world’s top 200. The challenge was accepted by Karsten Braasch, a German ranked 203. Before the matches, Braasch played a round of golf in the morning, drank a couple of beers, smoked a few cigarettes and then beat Serena 6-1 and Venus 6-2.
Serena said after the game: “I didn’t know it would be that hard. I hit shots that would have been winners on the women’s tour and he got them easily.” Braasch’s career prizemoney? Less than $1.5 million.
Karsten who? He’s the guy who annihilated the greatest female player of all time but has about 2% of her career earnings.
It’s time for feminists to put up or shut up, quite frankly. Either you’re equal or you’re not. If you truly believe you are, you must demand the immediate removal of all gender divisions in pro sports. That would be equality in the truest sense of the word (opportunity as opposed to outcome), but of course feminists will never allow this because deep down they know there would barely be a pro sportswoman left on the planet if they were forced to compete on a level playing field.
However, right now a ludicrous blind spot by administrators means women tennis players are being massively rewarded for being vastly inferior to their male contemporaries. If they continue to reject equality, insist on being segregated and having their own tour their prize money should be 50% of the men at best. That would still be a more than fair result for them, and deep down they know it.
