RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Locally owned and operated retirement home that got new management after og owner retirement.
They changed the logo to a cross when they changed all their old company practices to a more for profit approach. All during covid when they cut everything too.
Hired on with the expectation of a 3 month raise. Lol no. First job and first lesson that if it's not in writing it doesn't exist.
One time I found molded beans in bulk storage. Was instructed to scrape off the top layer and use the rest since truck wasn't coming and we needed it.
Hardies would routinely ship molded product. Options were pick around the refuse or have nothing. Sometimes a dishwasher or line cook would go to the store with a list when it was too bad.
The actual secret? You can do a lot to food and still be ok. Honestly got me over my food pickyness. Don't fuck with the danger zone and you're good.
If something has mold, specifically, then that whole food and anything else in the same package is bad, even if you can't see the mold on other pieces. This is because mold is a microorganism and you only see it with your eyes when an extremely large amount collects.
it depends on the food. you can't really cut the mold off bread but you can definitely cut the mold off cheese.
in a restaurant kitchen i think it should be tossed but at home some stuff can be worth saving.
