With the government executing this message to our youth, I think they’ll work as well as the anti-piracy ones back in the day.

You Wouldn’t Steal a Car

Yeah when I’d “disable” my right hand I’d have to wait for the weekends or homework that involved writing wouldn’t be able to get done. You did this as an adult? That’s dedication. I think in time anyone could adapt if they had to or could afford to be low-functioning for a while but I always wonder if there’s shortcut steps to start rewiring your brain to not automatically assign tasks to your dominant hand.

Yeah that food court stop is the consolation prize to drain out that last $5 in the account.

I notice lefties. Im right-handed and when I was little and much dumber I wanted to be left-handed. So I did a bunch of weird shit to force it. Stuff like wrapping my right hand up for whole day, trying reverse controls for video games, wearing my watch on my right hand, etc. Some stuff did take, like the watch on my right hand, which ironically made my right hand more dominant. Being a lefty is the club that I was never able to join but think about subconsciously all the time I guess.

I just read that as well. Or there’s just no witnesses. Also read something that they stop attacking if the boat stops.

There’s a series of “how to politely decline your stepsister’s advances” by Ryan Creamer. I watched it with my son on Pornhub. Talk about a bonding moment.

Edit: Link for those wanting to get off.

If you don’t eat that chicken wing clean, we can’t be friends.

You get one pass and that’s if you only take 1 wing.

Okay. Don’t stop there Alabama. So if an embryo is now a child, let’s talk now about dependents and tax exemptions, protective services, custodial rights and responsibilities, welfare benefits, insurance requirements, HOV rules, census counts, adoption and fostering rules, school districts and education funds, estate planning and probate… You wanted to open Pandora’s damn box - now every piece of state legislation that involves a child now needs to be adjusted.

Might get interesting in the news as questions arise over what the new guidelines are. But of course they won’t get addressed. Of course, of course.

I remember a few years ago on the other place that starts with “R”, there were a bunch of people who were randomly sent seed packets from China. Big debate on whether they should plant them and if it would start the zombie apocalypse or not. Some planted them and it grew to be wildflowers…so far.

TLDR: seeds

Wow that sounds extensive enough to where there should be an expectation of higher pay. There’s an argument that for civic duties such as jury duty or political positions, pay should not incentivize prople to seek those duties or positions or you attract the wrong candidates…but I dont really believe thats true. Still, kudos to you for taking on a front line job like that - I’ve been to the ER a few times and the environment is just so surreal and depressing. I cant imagine the daily amounts of human suffering that you are exposed to. That’d be enough to justify the weed IMO.

On another note, you should totally do an AMA.

Had the same question when I read the headline and this was super informative. Out of curiosity, do 911 operators have to pass extensive background checks and psych exams to be able to access those databases? Also, I’ve heard the pay was abysmal - is that still true?

Oh yes, binkying was always pure joy to watch!

Rabbits. Had them as pets throughout my childhood and I was fascinated with their behavior. Sadly, some of my knowledge came from irresponsibleness as pet stores used to sell them willy nilly without good care instructions. This was also during the dial-up modem era so there wasn’t much on the internet then either.

Here’s some things to know:

1. You have to handle them a lot when they are young or they will not make great pets.
2. You can litter train them. They can’t use cat litter though as clay dust is bad for their lungs.
3. If you don’t get them fixed, especially the females, they can be predisposed to a lot of reproductive system cancers and be extremely aggressive.
4. They are highly social animals. It’s especially cruel to keep one alone for its entire life.
5. They are somewhat opportunistic carnivores.

Fully agree with this. Anything in the arts immediately comes to mind. Not just performing arts either - history, literature, and philosophy fields have a lot more uncertainty with income than others.

This is one of the reasons why I favor UBI and universal health care. I think there’s a growing deficit in overall creativity, leisure, and social engagement that the arts and other so-called lower-income jobs provide to society. And its not that people care more about money. You just dont have the option to pursue these jobs when your income level affects life or death decisions for you and your loves ones.

I about spit up my drink going through that trailer.

So for Gary Oldman is this role tge equivalent of like Kirk Lazarus playing Lincoln Osiris? Or Tugg Speedman playing Simple Jack? Because I just can’t decide.

Mexican pizza is my anchor menu choice - everything else is just sides. So glad they brought it back.

Mexican pizza before they take it off the menu again. Also, ask for all of the hot sauces. The workers won’t care.

Holy shit dude. These are real as fuck answers. I have done a few of these while going through hard times. 💯 on the need to project the right image into some people’s pity systems to get what you need from them. They don’t want the truth or to help you, they just want to feel good about themselves. Same for hygiene and creating the illusion of legitimacy to access resources. There’s a strategy for every level of life - and you need to know which to use once you move up or down.

Worked a 2-10pm shift and actually loved it. Its definitely lifestyle-dependent but it suited people who were younger and single. A group of us would go out to bars/clubs right after work and the be able to sleep in. The best part of this middle shift is that its not hard on your circadian rhythm AND you get to avoid most management presence for your shift.

I work in a tech-field and for most jobs I’ve been on there’s been core business hours that you’re expected to be in your office which gives all the workers a little bit of flexibility. Core business hours are usually around 10am to 1pm. How it works is you do your 8 hours however you want, so long as the building is open, and you are in the office during core hours. We have a good-sized early morning group, also a smaller group (usually younger) that comes in later in the morning and hang out til 6 and then go out for drinks afterwards. Most of the jobs also allow people to flex their hours within reason. So you can work a 8+ hour day to work a shorter day later.

This little bit of flexibility is so great - allows parents more time with their kids, going to appointments, avoiding traffic, etc. Literally saves you so much in PTO and $$, as well as other residual benefits to your health and wellbeing.

EDIT - For clarity, they usually don’t show semi-flexible/flexible work schedules in job postings, but definitely ask during interviews. Let’s be real, a 4-day, 8-hour/day schedule won’t manifest in this lifetime, so this and WFH are the next best things.
