A big titty stylish AND nerdy girlfriend who has a stable, well paying job?

Yeah wait what was the part that was bad about this I am really confused…?

Not a real website? Doesn't seem to work for me.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Yeah not a real website, that was a dumb joke about a U.S. politician that I just subconsciously assumed everyone on a global internet platform would have the context to get because I am an obnoxious USian lol, my bad.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

Personally I was hoping it was real and actually sold poorly disguised male heels, and would send as an anonymous gift if desired. Kind of like that one website that would ship poorly packaged glitter to people so when they opened it the glitter goes everywhere and now they have Craft Herpes forever.

But in this case it would be "someone sent you these heels so you can see over the counter now" or something like that

Pharmacy Tech is not a stable or well paying job to be completely honest.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I didn't believe you so I Googled it, and local pharmacy techs only make $17/hr on average in my area. Even fast food is paying more than that. What the hell.

[–] SlothMama 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I made $9.35 an hour, licensed a decade ago.

It's pretty darn stable, but pays slave/below subsistence wages in most markets...

Yeah, right? She even knows her drugs (and can get them cheap), there's literally no downside to this.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 8 months ago

Hey, need to move across country for your job or family?

Good thing your girlfriend can afford to be flexible and make the move work because she can basically find work anywhere the fuck she wants as a pharmacy tech.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (7 children)

I think that's the thing, it's not that amazingly well paid. Considering it only requires a high school diploma and a certificate it pays well, but overall you're probably only making around $38-55k per year. I did find some exceptions such as the upper end of NYC techs making $65k, but even LA had a high end of $55k. Maybe the salary data I saw was wrong, but that's not particularly well paying.

The high paying job is the Pharmacist who is probably pulling in $120-160k, but the tech is doing all the real work.

This guy probably looks at it like they aren't conventionally attractive (which isn't true) and they aren't making stupid high salaries.

[–] spamfajitas 13 points 8 months ago (5 children)

From personal experience, that pharmacist salary is offset by insane pressure from management to meet metrics that keep going up and requiring a fair amount of unpaid overtime put in to keep the queues from overflowing.

Then you've got a 50:50 chance of a new tech being insane and or stupid because the good ones have long since burned out. They usually are union, though, so good for them.

There's a reason pharmacists in the US are starting to drop dead on the job.

It's not that the techs do all the real work. There was a time when pharmacists kind of let that happen, but it was a short and long gone era. Now pharmacists must also work hard and we as a team pull together doing the same job to make it happen. Every day is a huge challenge for the whole team-the corporations ensure that's how it works.

For the workload, pharmacist salaries should probably be smaller than they are and tech salaries should probably be higher than they are. Pharmacist student loans of $250k+ don't really support that though. It's a tough situation.

I definitely want to talk about Invader Zim with a big tittied pharmacy tech. Do I just...start filling prescriptions and drop "It's not stupid, it's ADVANCED" into the small talk? Will that work?

[–] Mandarbmax 24 points 8 months ago

If I knew I would have titled this post something else lol

[–] FlyingSquid 21 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I'd be happy to talk about Invader Zim with anyone. It doesn't need to be post-coital.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh good, that would be a distraction

Why does the boy make fun of the foreign student? Is it because the foreign student has more powerful human organs?

"The author of Invader Zim used to make some really wacky comic books about a suicidal serial killer who couldn't pull the trigger, who turned out to be serving a greater purpose by culling the herd on earth but he only learns that after rigging up a rube goldberg to shoot himself when his phone goes off (but nobody would ever call him) except today was the day that somebody did in fact call him. He goes to hell and is unimpressed with the devil so the devil transforms into a blonde cheerleader to punish him, which is highly effective.

Hang on, your order is ready..."

[–] FlyingSquid 10 points 8 months ago (4 children)

And some Nickelodeon executive said, "give that guy a show!"

I mean I'm glad that they did, but it's kind of like having Chuck Tingle do a family sitcom.

Also, both modeled and named after the author — who then later went by "Yonen" to differentiate himself from the homicidal maniac shooting up schools he was drawing while still in school...

The 90s were wild.

source: I know his former classmates personally, and they each wanted to be far AF away from him ASAP.

Hilarious that everyone is trying to make this into a sexist thing. The pharmacy tech bit is about fantasizing about someone to the point that you create in unrealistic image of them. The reason someone is disappointed about them being a pharmacy tech is because they aren't a necromancer or a witch or some other gothic thing. It's like oh, I thought you were gonna bring me back to your castle so we can drink blood from goblets and pray to the old gods, but we're actually just gonna watch TV?

Jesus christ, nuance is so fucking dead.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Uhh... yeah. That's more or less my expectation. I know big mommy goth gf needs her Netflix. We'll drink blood when the moon is right.

[–] nomous 24 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's like, yeah, wtf is wrong with Invader Zim?

I mean I instantly pictured Abby from NCIS. She's into the black strappy clothing and big boots and she has a degree in chemistry and works a 9 to 5 in a lab. She's into the band HIM, owns a black lacey parasol and drives a green Honda Civic she's had since high school with a sticker of Obleena from AAH Real Monsters! on the back glass.

Kinda wish we wouldn't show contempt for people making an honest living providing a needed service for the world.

I was a tech and got my engineering degree and now manage techs. A good tech is worth their weight in gold and given the average size of them that is a lot. Respect the hell out of what they do for a living and I am very much aware that I have a higher paying job because I was lucky enough to go to uni and they weren't.

Invader Zim is the tits, so talking to someone with tits about it is also the tits. Which makes the entire situation a giant set of tits, and that is a lot of fun.

if I had a pharmacy tech girlfriend that watched Invader Zim I would marry that girl. That's a life goal, not an insult.

I thought pharmacy tech was a respectable job. Good thing Branwell-Bronte set me straight.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's certainly a respectable job, but it's not an overly well paid job which is probably that guys quibble. As with many jobs it depends on the specifics, but it seems like the job pays around $38-55k depending on where you live. It looks like some areas can get a bit higher (NYC had some data indicating $65k/year).

For a job that only requires a high school diploma and a certification that's not bad, it's just not particularly good either. If you have two people making roughly that amount it's probably good enough to live comfortably, but not live very well.

It's the Andrew Tate mentality where the only acceptable partner is either an "Alpha" making $10 million a year and is conventionally attractive or doesn't work at all and is even more conventionally attractive.

If I watch Invader Zim will it summon a BTGG?

[–] FlyingSquid 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

No, but you might summon Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

See the problem here is that you'd have a girlfriend that isn't dependant on you, that has interests, hobbies, and a voice. Nobody wants that.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

idk man, someone being dependent on me sounds pretty stressful, i think im good.
