  • Oreos are 3 cookies to a serving.

    Frequently servings are fairly close to 1 ounce. Oreos are a little over an ounce for 3 cookies at 34 grams.

    This isn’t necessarily a serving suggestion. They’d actually very much like it if you ate an entire sleeve in a sitting, 3 times a day.

    It’s only there so you can calculate with excruciating detail exactly how many grams of sugar you just swallowed when you stuffed the middle of 4 cookies together.

    They think this is a culture war. They believe they are at war with ideas they do not like.

    They will not give ground until forced to do so. They will only do so begrudgingly, and insincerely, waiting for the day they can claw it back.

    They see you as an enemy, and they give themselves rage chubbies at the thought of refusing to negotiate.

    Absolutely, if you hear this nonsense, call it out, but be prepared for it to escalate.

    Let’s return to a time when saying that crap out loud was enough to end a career. Make them afraid to be bigoted in public again.






  • While in the process of still learning my job, my company decided to combine buildings and in so doing, the scope of my job changed dramatically. I work on tooling and equipment that punches parts out of steel. These machines take a long time to learn and are all kind of custom hacked together. But the presses themselves all operate very similarly.

    I had just graduated from apprentice to journeyman when my supervisor stepped in to his role, and he’s from maintenance, not tool and die. To say he has a cursory understanding of what my job is is being generous.

    He set some expectations on my ability to just go to any random machine and diagnose and repair it like how his maintenance guys could. In the process of attempting to explain my skill level and the differences between the two shops to him he chewed me out like I’ve never been chewed out before, and insinuated I shouldn’t have been given journeyman.

    When my trainer and lead tried to explain it to him he got even more pissed off.

    So, we don’t go to him for help. We’ve reached a peaceful understanding.
