| I have worked in various call center positions for the better part of 10 years. Before then, I was at least aware of the existence of call centers. But over these 10 years, I have constantly come into contact with people who seem to have not the foggiest idea what a call center is. The people who ca... |

| As an adult on the spectrum, I've dealt with jobs and scenarios that are actively bad for my mental, emotional, and physical health due to stress and anxiety. I've had days where I suffer from continuous meltdowns, go into the bathroom to dry sob, driven myself sick from overwork, and had family scr... |

| So, my roommate started her new job, and today is her first payday. She signed up for direct deposit 3 weeks ago, but got a physical paycheck. I also got a physical check my first payday, and have noticed that this occurs at every job I get. It's difficult to find out why (googling it just gives ins... |

| My parents and friends all say that it's suspicious. It's unlikely that it's a scam, but I don't want to work for free, especially if I haven't been hired yet and there's a chance that I won't get the job. I don't mind doing practice tests, such as, for example, listening to pre-recorded messages an... |

| Yesterday, I got an interview at an Italian restaurant, the same day that I applied. They seemed pretty desperate for workers, so I thought it would be a good opportunity, even if I find the idea of manning a register troubling (I've worked customer service, but only through a phone, not face to fac... |

| I've noticed a general lack of interest in beauty. Show me the most beautiful person in the world, and I'll see a person like any other person. Fireworks are just lights and sounds, and the boom hurts my ears. I can get the same amount of mild enjoyment from a neon sign, without the aural pain. I've... |

| I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but I have to ask, how is this any different from normal? Section 230 was put into place to prevent social media platforms from being held personally responsible for users posting on them. It dictates that social media platforms must self-regulate and self... |

| There's a term that can be used to describe when a parent or sibling acts like they understand how difficult having autism can be, despite being completely neurotypical. Such as them saying that it's hard for them, having to take care of you, so they understand your pain. Do any of you know what I'm... |

| Just something I have to figure out, I guess. The company is also shady in many ways, such as pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into remodeling without improving the lives of their employees. They have a state-of-the-art facility with soundproofed ceiling tiles, giant televisions playing cons... |

| In the US, medical services are privatized. Hospitals are basically corporations, selling medical services, while drug companies actively promote prescription drugs on televised ads, which is something that only occurs within the US. Medicaid, which is a federal program that gives less fortunate pat... |

| Thanks for replying, I should mention that pursuing any form of medical help is currently impossible. Once I was moved to part-time, I lost all employee benefits, which includes health insurance. Of course, I applied for Medicaid immediately, but since I was working full-time for half a year leading... |

Around January 2020, I asked my manager at the time if I could move to part-time due to my various medical issues, ... |

| Well, I wear glasses as well, have for years. I need them so much it feels more like a part of my face, so I no longer have the feeling of security. My vision is something like 20/400, so I'm blind without them, almost legally so. I'm not sure what the gas mask signifies, except that I wish to wear ... |

| Hey there. I want to wear a gas mask in public, but am not sure what the legality of it is, since the laws seem a bit vague and contradictory, such as labeling it clearly unlawful if the wearer is being unlawful themself, but also gives it as unlawful if others think you are being unlawful or malici... |
