Anything that perpetuates diet culture... Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc., but also (as someone who struggled with anorexia as a teen and body image issues on and off as an adult) stuff that using calorie counts as a selling point, has words like “skinny” in the title, etc.

Second this. A lot of people fail to see how serious of an issue diet culture is and instead like to bill it as “health”. Having struggled with anorexia as well there is no way I could add another line into all the messed up messaging that’s already out there.

When you test a GL account cause the balance is in-scope. Do you net the untested debits and credits together to determine if acceptably low? Or is it determined by untested debits being below PM and untested credits being below PM?

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work. There’s a school of thought that says that men are “friends” outside of work with their coworkers so they are more likely to lift each other at work. Women however are more likely to separate their work friends and their social friends. I think I fall in this group. Cont in comment
