She says she trained herself not to by sheer willpower
Does she burp a lot instead? Maybe she's pumping it back up the other way. Kind of like how railguns vs. blasters work lore-wise in EVE Online:
Consists of two components: a shell of titanium and a core of antimatter atoms suspended in plasma state. Railguns launch the shell directly, while particle blasters pump the plasma into a cyclotron and process the plasma into a bolt that is then fired.
No web editor though—well, they have a tutorial web app that I think you can force into editing your markdown files, but that's not what it's meant for.
I reported to a middle manager like that at a Finance company. Whether you're slinging pies or slinging pie charts, insufferable assholes abound.
What I did was I put up with it until I found another job and then I quit, stat. The reason was, I got that Finance job through a "bigger boss" and I didn't want to cause problems for him by going to HR to complain about the middle manager.
And I didn't bring it up to the bigger boss directly because I knew he would probably suggest some kind of sit-down with the three of us or something like that, which I didn't think would work. (The middle manager was the type who would hide his antics if confronted like that—continue to make my life hell but secretly).
If I could do it over, I would have brought it up with my bigger boss but then rejected any offer for arbitration. I would have tried to set my own terms like, "I just know I can't work with this guy, so you'll have to move me, or can me if moving me isn't possible." I don't know what your circumstances are, e.g., if you have to cling to this job or not, but that's what I would try. I think another responder gave a similar response—basically, go to the higher-up manager, but try to go with a plan of action that you recommend, e.g., changing shifts.
Otherwise, I think the default, uninspired corpo solution might be to get you two to talk and shake on it like you're back on a goddamned elementary school playground. And your mileage may vary if you get forced into that.
I took a look at other recommendations here like "playing nice" or "playing ignorant" or "trying not to take it personally." And, yeah, if you have the patience for those approaches, give them a shot I suppose. Just remember that you are being paid to do a job, and its up to you to determine whether "putting up with a Hershey-stain of a coworker" is a fair part of your responsibilities.
What’s wrong with Squabbles? The UI looks neat and that’s about all I know
Around the beginning of July (and again in the middle of July), there were a lot of posts on r/redditalternatives promoting Squabbles. I'm not saying it was bots, but they had the odor—all newish users with the same name pattern, something like two diceware words and a four-digit number. E.g., Intrepid-Pangolin-4842.
And the posts had this exaggerated positivity, kind of like that terminal handing out affirmations in Demolition Man.
Then when I tried to use the site and give it a fair shake, I found that it felt like maybe a dozen real people and the rest were ... I dunno, bots again? Lots of one-word or one-sentence replies that didn't seem on topic at all? Very "Markovian Parallax."
The site purports to be influenced by Twitter and Reddit, so maybe that's part of the Twitter influence coming through (re: the shorter replies). I never really used Twitter/X, so I'm not sure.
Also I think there's no NSFW, which seems to be a deal breaker for some.
You're a goddamn genius!
