An all welcoming place for Queer Memes of all varieties! Just laugh, be chill, and report anything you feel violates the rules.
Partnered with the Gaywave Discord Server — Check out more here.
Rule 1 — Be Chill. This means everything from just be respectful to no bigotry or discrimination of any kind. That crap will be crucified on sight.
Rule 2 — Naming Structure. Try to keep to the general 'Queer_Irl naming structure. Replacing queer with something you feel might be more appropriate is totally fine.
Rule 3 — I wrote this but got nothing. I'm sure I'll come up with something to stick here eventually.

Pssst. AI didn't write this. I just really like em-dashes. They're neat and good for formatting. Alt+0151 baby. Eat my entire ass.

And here I thought people would usually be told their wage before they sign their employment contract ... are precarious contracts where you don't always get 40 hours/week or depend on tips/bonuses (lol "tips") that common in the US?
Normally, the shock comes once you see the net amount after taxes, health insurance, medicare/medicaid, and social security have been deducted.
I usually calculate the actual net income even before signing ... IDK if it's harder to calculate in the US, but the calculators I used for wages in my country predicted the actual net wage fairly accurately.
