Some of them are in it for the love of the game. For whatever reason I get a shit load of spam calls to my work phone and sometimes I’ll fuck with them. I can’t remember what I was telling this dude, but he started slurring his words and I asked him if he was ok and if he had any plans for the weekend. I hung up like a minute later and the dude called me back. I just asked him why and he was like “I dunno lol”.

There have only been like 5 human wild boar deaths in the US in the past 200 years: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/26/us/texas-woman-killed-feral-hogs.html

The owner is a doctor, but they went to evil medical school. I’ve heard his firing practices are pretty harsh too, just drops people with no warning.

I understand the viewpoint, but the alternative is that disabled people get hired way less or not at all. A real solution would be to reduce our dependence on capitalism or something, but that’s not likely.

I had 8 weeks fully paid through use of accrued PTO. 8 weeks is about the minimum of paternity leave necessary to kind of get your life back into order imo. This isn’t a vacation, it’s taking full care of a little person that needs help every 2-3 hours. If both you and your partner work it would be impossible without leave just due to sleep depravation. Our first kid was (is still 4 years later) a terrible sleeper and the first few months were hell. Luckily our second is actually a better sleeper than the first right now and she’s only 8 months old lol.

But yes, 12 weeks paternity is not a vacation, it is work. Plan for 12 weeks and if you think that you have everything sorted then great, go back. But daycare might be more than what you would make going back to full pay so just consider that too.

Epigenetics. But that’s not as cool as whatever Assassin’s Creed is.

Honestly asking: what other way would anyone suggest to bring back outsourced manufacturing jobs?

Probably with some sort of long term plan instead of randomly turning sweeping tariffs on and off.

I basically bought my first (only) house for 0 money down with first time homebuyers stuff. Ya I had to pay mortgage insurance for a while but my mortgage payment is less than what it would be to rent the same house by like, a lot.

I wouldn’t want my streamer to talk about current politics. I’m there to escape that talk. It’s the same reason I’m not subscribed to any political communities, if I want that news I’ll go to all.

The real problem is that the paper clips were on backwards.

I hadn’t even heard of that, I’ll add it to the list. Thanks!

Re: DCU, THE Suicide Squad is quite enjoyable. The series Peacemaker that is a spin-off of it is also good. THE Batman is good, and the Penguin series is good.

But ya, they have some huge stinkers. I basically just assume a DCU product is going to be garbage. I can’t believe they still let Zack Snyder make movies.

Most people won’t talk politics unless they know the other person’s opinions already. I’ve had discussions about every day with my friends and wife, but there is no way I’m going to get into a discussion with my parents or maga coworker. I don’t have the energy to debunk every stupid thing they say when they won’t change their mind.

Use this one weird trick to hear a rendition of paw patrol sung as loud as they can at 4:30 am.

I searched “hot dog” over Chicago and clicked a random restaurant, they had green relish: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DUp5py5jVHQJBSGXA?g_st=ac

This guy shows up in the Chip and Dale live action movie. It’s pretty good.

If you are renting and have no practical skills to actually fix this, just leave it alone. You are likely to fuck up the floor worse trying to do these home remedies.

Ya, I saw an article when Bitcoin was very new, like 10 cents each, and it said Bitcoin was stupid as a currency because there is a limited number of it and it will only increase in value which will cause people to horde it making it not valuable as a currency. They were kinda right tbf, it’s not a good currency.

I decided not to mine it because it would have cost as much in electricity as it was worth and the only thing I could buy were drugs which I don’t use.

One of my wifes problems with the show is that it makes her sad she doesn’t have friends that are that close lol

I’m not exactly sure if it does NICS specifically. The portal really just checks to see if they have a valid FOID (firearm owner ID, an Illinois special) card, but the foid card is linked to other data bases. I’m not super familiar with all the specifics. Relevant links:
