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…?
Twitter dweeb is just mad that he isn’t the tallest
just send him here
The website’s motto is “like bubblewrap for the fragile vase of your masculinity!”
Not a real website? Doesn’t seem to work for me.
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.
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
I was confused until I realized it didn’t say “rodents in high heels”.
I think that’s a thing on the furry instance.
Why would living in the United Mexican States mean you’d think everyone would understand an American political joke?
Doesn’t work for Ron DeSantis, either…
Pharmacy Tech is not a stable or well paying job to be completely honest.
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.
I made $9.35 an hour, licensed a decade ago.
What the actual fuck that is bullshit
Every layer of the American medical system is bullshit.
Except the humans at the bottom layer doing the actual healthcare and getting ground into pieces by the ruling class exploiting them.
They exist within a layer of bullshit, workers are the insoluble fiber that keeps everything moving no matter how sick and broken it is. That was kind of a gross metaphor.
Anyway, general strike is the shortest way forward.
A buddy of mine just got her doctorate in medical prosthetics and has been job hunting. She wants to work with pediatric amputees but the best job offer she got was for $45k after a year of searching. She’s considering moving to another state to take a position doing prosthetics for diabetics, which isn’t in line with her goals but pays $55k.
I didn’t have to heart to tell her that I made $45k over a decade ago as a first year IT worker with only an Associate’s. I never realized that medical was such a shitshow. Where does our money go when we get thousand dollar medical bills for even the most basic stuff??

It’s pretty darn stable, but pays slave/below subsistence wages in most markets…
I shared prior, but when I was one, I made $9.35 an hour and that was only a decade ago.
Sounds about right. It’s usually Min wage +2-3.50 depending on market.
In Washington State there’s such a shortage I’d call it a good choice for someone who doesnt want to get a college degree
Yeah, right? She even knows her drugs (and can get them cheap), there’s literally no downside to this.
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.
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.
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.
I think that makes a weird sort of sense. I mean, if you’re gonna pay 1 person 3x what you pay the others you kinda expect them to shoulder more of the burden. Same goes for Doctors in general and Air Traffic Controllers, the barrier to entry is exceptionally high, the pay is high to match, but the expectations are even higher
I can’t speak to the union bit, but I would say most aren’t in a Union in the US since most of the US doesn’t have Unions. If you’re in an area that has them then maybe they get a better deal.
It never makes sense to work someone to the point of burnout
It does if you are a sociopath that considers humans easily replaceable tools. Which by coincidence almost all executives and stock holders are…
True, though if all you look at is the numbers you find yourself back on the other side. At times the job of industrial engineers is to use math to attempt to talk business sociopaths out of making poor decisions just to hurt workers
Business/corporate mindset is a belief system as much as it is a rational strategy for earning money, and is arguably the lamest religion in earth.
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.
Your first paragraph lines up with my experiences at my local CVS. There’s a hub and spoke model where the pharmacist is in the center constantly checking things while the techs have to branch off to get the drugs as well as deal with the customers at the counter. And the customers at the drive thru. Aaaand the customers on the phone.
And every single one of those customers is asked “do you have a question for the pharmacist?” As they should, of course! But I could see questions coming up at inconvenient times. Because of course they would.
I give them credit. Healthcare techs are underpaid.
It’s a tough situation.
In terms of power dynamics over who is treated with value and who isn’t in modern society then yes it is a different situation to fix, however in terms of complexity this is a very simple situation.
- Tax the rich
- Pay Pharmacists and Pharmacy Tech jobs a living wage
- Hire more employees to reduce the workload.
Not quite that easy but I agree in general. I would have to add:
- cap school costs to a % of expected income
- continue to pay pharmacists more than techs to incentivize the lost years of wages for school, but decrease how dramatic that pay difference is
- All jobs should pay a living wage as a minimum. Those with a bit more responsibility for people’s lives should also come with an incentive for the increased difficulty, so pay the techs a bit more than the minimum, or no one would want to do it.
Techs do currently make (barely) a living wage in my county. But by that I mean the living wage on MIT living wage calculator, which is BARELY enough to get by. No vacations or any frills. Just not getting further behind every month.

^This is how we treat people who do the labor of making sure the right prescription medications are put into the right bottles so that the general public can efficiently access the incredible variety of modern prescription drugs necessary to maintain a high standard of healthcare in the community?
What the fuck
in terms of complexity this is a very simple situation.
- Tax the rich
Leftist moment rofl. Next, I will share my simple solution for world peace:
- stop doing war.
This is hilarious, you honestly think taxing the rich is on the same level of difficulty as creating world peace?
I mean, it makes sense that you would think that given the society we are raised in but that is an absolutely bonkers position to take.
It’s a little bit of hyperbole but the point is it’s not simple or easy. It’s an incredibly difficult thing to do.
A little bit of hyperbole? “creating world peace” is considered the most hyperbolically hard problem problem that people literally use it as a comparison to point out something might as well be impossible.
Taxing the rich is not impossible it is rather simply a choice about how we choose to value human lives in a society. Stopping war in comparison might as well be considered impossible next to policy choices of how to structure tax rates on the rich.
I will admit though, taxing the rich would go a longggg way towards making the world a more peaceful place especially when workers organize with an explicit understanding of how the working class everywhere all over the world is intimately connected in the same essential struggle, Shawn Faine’s outspoken and impactful support for Gaza as the head of the United Auto Workers union is a clear example of how workers organizing for their fair share of their labor can lead directly to a more peaceful world.
Maybe I don’t understand what pharmacists do, but given that my life depends on them not screwing up, they deserve better pay too
For comparison, that’s roughly equivalent to 3d animator salaries in the game industry. First year out of college, you can expect somewhere around $40k a year ($60k for programmers), and you probably don’t see anything in the six digits until you start getting to team leads and other senior level positions.
I can’t speak to your numbers, but using the same salary comparison searches I used for the Pharmacy Tech position it looks like 3D Animator pay is somewhere between $50-105k national average with LA being $98-150k and NYC being $45-110k. Maybe game industry specific is the cause for your lower numbers?
Could be. I did a quick search before I posted to make sure my numbers were still relevant, because $40k is what my college professors who were working in the industry told us to expect when we graduated, and that was in 2010. What I came up with in my search was $38- 110k national average and I assumed that the upper end of that is more senior level positions and more specialized roles, as the game industry is notorious for low wages and long hours. There were stories coming out a few years ago about employees for Blizzard who were living out of their cars because they couldn’t afford rent within commuting distance of the studio in Irving, for example.
But my point was that that’s a profession that often has a 4 year degree attached that has comparable wages to a pharmacy tech. So not the worst salary range for a high school diploma and certification - though I think both fields deserve to be paid much more.
Yeah it’s one of those things and why we really need to start fixing things. You don’t expect someone whose job is so important that people will die if they mess up or quit to be paid so low. It’s like when you find out ambulance/EMT make less than people who work at Target.
No you see it’s fine because if they mess up a few times we’ll just fire them and then everyone else on the team gets the opportunity to work a little bit harder 😊

The bad part is i wake up andnrealise it was just a dream :/
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?
If I knew I would have titled this post something else lol
I’d be happy to talk about Invader Zim with anyone. It doesn’t need to be post-coital.
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?
He’s just mad he doesn’t have a Squeedily Spooch.
I was picturing pre-coital myself.
When you pick it up say “Thank you. I love you.”
I do know a pharmacy tech who is probably C cup but she is married well over 31 and I don’t know if she is even knows what IZ is.
"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…"
Dafaq?
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.
I knew a guy like this in highschool. We actually bonded over JTHM. He actually got me into webcomics and we started drawing our own that we would hand off to each other between classes. It was fantastic. I wonder what happened to that dude. Time to go dig out a yearbook!
Was a fan of his stuff while in school, but holy shit. His comics are hard to read anymore because it’s very clear that his most insufferable characters are more or less self inserts. Just an amalgamation of shit takes assuming the worst of every person at an “I’m 14 and this is deep” level of insight. Like yes, of course you didn’t have friends, Johnny. You think everybody is morally and intellectually beneath you. Brilliant artist and creator, but I don’t think I’d want to meet the guy.
It’s probably even more fucked up than what you’re picturing, though pretty funny if you enjoy very dark humor.
Strangely. I just met him last weekend. Cool dude irl.
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.
It is funny you say that because I think one theory is that Chuck Tingle might have been created by one of the McElroy brothers during their time at Polygon.
You could almost consider what they do now to be an audio family sitcom.
Definitely Griffin…
I really only listen to sawbones but I asked my wife who is a fan and she thinks it isn’t true because she has a vague memory of the McElroy brothers of having done an interview with Chuck Tingle’s son. I asked if they could have just hired an actor, but she doesn’t think it was a bit because the son was basically like “my father is a schizophrenic and this is how they work through their sexuality.” So not funny necessarily.
I was mostly joking. I love those 3 delightful doofuses and having finally caught up on the back catalog of MBMBAM am branching out to their diaspora of other podcasts.
Also Monster Factory on YouTube. Glorious nonsense by Justin and Griffin.
I don’t see any good arguments against big tiddy pharmacy techs.
I feel pretty comfortable coming out and saying there aren’t any good arguments against.
Well-endowed women may have a higher risk of developing of breast cancer, or have larger tumors when it is discovered. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2474642/
Something along those lines. I’m not a breastologist or anything. That’s all I’ve got.
TIL I’m a big titty goth gf.
How you doin’?
How did you like the special Netflix put out?
There’s a big titty goth girlfriend Netflix special?
Enter the Florpus was a tasty treat, but I’m back to wanting more! I need more Zim! My inferior human organs can only stand so much nostalgiaaaaaaa!
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.
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.
It’s like, yeah, wtf is wrong with Invader Zim?
“What’s wrong with him?! He’s an evil alien bent on conquering Earth!”
“Oh shut up, Dib.”
We’ll drink blood when the moon is right.
I don’t mean to kink shame, but I’m gonna anyway. Gross :-p
It’s just milk with red food coloring.
Yeah, that’s not the kind of blood that’s tied to the moon…
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.
Anyone with just one Real Monster sticker isn’t a true fan.
They were all great.
Mentioning a pharmacy tech is nuance? Jesus Christ.
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.
Or pay them similarly.
Me and my wife were both deemed essential and there was a sign on our block thanking us for our service during the virus. So many times I had a fantasy of torching that sign.
Just pay us more instead of thanking us.
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.
I didn’t expect to hear an academic argument in this thread, impressive
Nah not looking for a pedophile.

I’m not familiar with the persona series, but she’s a medical doctor that (under some circumstances) dates a high school boy?
Less of a “weebs are gross” joke than a detailed in-joke for a particular franchise.
My bad then, not that familiar either and I’ve seen that guy do multiple of those exact “weebs are gross” jokes, so after finding nothing with a quick search I just assumed it was one of those.
Lol fucking stalker.
Also I think weebs are gross because they fucking are. Here’s exhibit A. I don’t talk out of my ass, unlike you. And you just admitted you do so don’t backtrack now.
There’s even an implied sex scene.
She’s 100% a pedophile. Weebs don’t like when you point that out. Lol.
Pedophile because pedophile. And I don’t believe you don’t know what I mean.
I always assumed she was younger, like maybe she started med school early? But yeah, yikes.
Here’s a discussion on this https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/835628-persona-5/75268452
Why is a minor allowed to fill prescriptions and do human trials Persona?
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 know right?
Especially if she had nice titties, and dressed all in black in her off time.
… Wait, this post explains me. My SO works in elder care, one of her main roles there is the med cart, and we’re both rather alt/goth in our free time.
The only thing missing is invader Zim. I don’t think either of us is really into the franchise. We’re into extremely nerdy things otherwise, just not that specific thing. Probably the biggest, Nerdist thing we are into is star Trek… And other space SciFi (BSG, Orville, etc).
Beyond that one inconsistency, this post is describing my life.
… Let me tell you this: it’s fucking awesome.
A friend with breasts and all the rest? A friend who’s dressed in leather?
A friend in need, a friend indeed.
I thought pharmacy tech was a respectable job. Good thing Branwell-Bronte set me straight.
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.
I love remembering that Andrew Tate is in jail.

If I watch Invader Zim will it summon a BTGG?
No, but you might summon Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.
One can hope

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.
idk man, someone being dependent on me sounds pretty stressful, i think im good.
If I want something to get me off that is totally dependent on me and doesn’t have a free mind of its own I already have two of those they are called my hands and they work fabulous for that purpose.
