Trucking Company Takes Clients Own Advice and Fires Them After Calling Their Bluff

"Why don't you just fire us then." is an empty threat that you should never make, somewhere along the lines of "If you don't do this I quit" or "Why don't you just leave if you don't like it." When one makes such threats they're saying it thinking they're in a position of power. 

It's a power move and manipulation tactic to force a subordinate (or someone you otherwise have power over) into reluctantly accepting whatever terms you are proposing. By giving them an "out", the person in power is psychologically manipulating them into resigning and becoming complicit with the power-wielders wishes. 

So, when this trucking company had it suggested to them, by the client themselves, that they should fire the client, it triggered a reflection that caused the trucking company to realize that they'd rather not service this client any longer.

'LOL, He Blocked Me' : Top Dating App Flops of the Week (March 21, 2023)

There are periods of time when you frequent dating apps more than others, and during your short breaks, you kind of forget what it's like. Reopening Tinder is the catalyst for reinstalling all those memories. The surge is unreal… once the floodgates reopen, you breathe a sigh of distress, and the flashbacks begin. Blocked! Berated! Bot!

The list goes on. But in today's day and age, you don't have a choice. Your bravery has long since gone out the window, forcing you to hide behind a bright screen, swiping for connection. Heaven forbid you actually look someone in the face and tell them you like them. That would be the end of the world as you know it. And who wants the world to end?

As for me, I am currently erasing the app once again, as it has officially tired me out. Scroll down and you'll see why. For more fails, check out this absolute cringe-fest.

10+ Top Tinder Moments of the Week (March 21, 2023)

There doesn't seem to be a lot of consensus as to what love actually is… Is it a battlefield? A stranger? A losing game?.. That aside, is it really all you need? This general confusion and lack of consensus about love translate over into the world of dating—with no one really being able to agree on what they're after or what they even want. 

The problem is… if you don't know what you want, how in the heck can anyone possibly give you what you need? Thus, those looking for love often end up in a perpetual cycle of ghosting, disappointment, and crumbling relationships.

25+ Cake Fails That Ruined Graduations, Birthdays, and Weddings

Who knew that a cake really can make or break a party? Seeing the instructions you made for the order on the final product has got to be infuriating upon delivery. I guess you got exactly what you ordered, though. Then, of course, there's the lazy misspelling (i.e. "congrations" instead of "congratulations"). However, upon further reflection, one has to wonder why we don't just say "congrations" in life. I mean, it sounds better, it's easier to spell, and who has the energy for all those excess syllables anyway? Just a thought. Maybe this cake maker was actually onto something there. 

 

Despite all of these flawed baked goods, there is also the argument that if it tastes good, none of these mistakes should matter. At the end of the day, cake is not about the message. Cake is about the eating. So, in the spirit of Marie Antoinette, let us eat cake.

'Should I accept the job?': Job seeker uses ChatGPT to ace virtual job interview

The fear that ChatGPT, or some other AI, could replace your job in the near future is an absolutely real one—especially when your job mainly consists of writing short, accessible pieces that someone may or may not even read when they visit your webpage.

ChatGPT assures me, when I ask it, that there's no way that it could replace a human writer completely… but what if that's just what it wants me to think so that it can covertly plot to put me out of business? How are we even certain that ChatGPT hasn't written this post? My writing gig certainly wouldn't be the first job to be made obsolete by new technology.

Well, as frightening as the prospect is, there appear to be ways that these technologies can help us too. This Redditor, u/JoJolion_,  claims that they managed to ace a virtual interview by using the AI to answer the interviewer's questions. Is this real? Who can be sure? But it's an interesting prospect and a fun read.
