I would actually watch that if it were real

Perfect timing, I just started rereading Buckland’s blue book

It will take some time for your mind and body to level with the change. Be gentle with yourself. Soon this new reality will feel normal, and you will be OK again. I promise.

Hang in there, much love.

What on earth could someone do with 80,000 lbs of beef? You can’t exactly move that kind of volume on the black market. Storing that amount of beef alone would take a massive amount of space and cooling.

A lack of organization. There’s no one central voice organizing large scale protests, so you get hundreds or thousands of smaller protests that don’t attract media attention.

This reminded me of a joke I heard one time. “You know how they always say that aliens built the pyramids in Egypt? This is how you know Mexicans are the best workers in history. There are also pyramids in Mexico. Nobody questions who built those.”

I use wireless charging at night and at work. I have a stand that charges my phone, ear buds, and watch simultaneously, which replaces three cables with one and keeps my nightstand/desk free of clutter. I use cables only when I need to charge quickly.

Agreed, Finch is a great way to keep track of self-care and watch your little creature thrive through it.

If you learn to cook, you can have those foods anywhere you move.

Men don’t give a shit about who is in their bathroom, in my experience. Women, on the other hand, often stopped and harassed me when I was presenting female but cut my hair short (AFAB).

That’s your survival instinct doing what it’s supposed to do. Don’t let a stranger into your home, don’t go into a stranger’s home. That’s just asking to be a victim.

+1 for decaf. I went totally caffeine free in college, and there’s a huge variety of caffeine free / decaf options out there that taste similar enough to the real stuff. Coffee, tea, soda… I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.

OP, brace for headaches while your body goes through caffeine withdrawal. It sucks nearly as much as quitting nicotine. But the end result is 8 hours of restful sleep every night with little difficulty.

I’m on the top floor of a poorly-insulated midrise, and summers are absolutely miserable. I have a window AC in the bedroom, otherwise it’s all ceiling fans and ice packs. I bought a few “pillow insert cooling pads” (basically a Chillow) and just put them on my neck or in my shirt during the day. Frozen water bottles also help.

It was bad.

Asshole first is obvious. Assholes are great for pointing out pitfalls in new projects, and raise legitimate concerns. The bore is next. They’ll approach the project with the same indifference as the average end user, and the asshole will lend them a voice for their grievances. The idiot is last. They’ll be the workhorse to move the project along.

I wouldn’t recommend it. I did this once (didn’t see the cop). He just pulled up next to me at the next red light and shook his head in disapproval, but I fully expected to be pulled over. Tbf I’m white and was presenting female at the time, so I imagine it would have gone differently if I was any other demographic.

This is embarrassing.

This is how you convince immigrants to stop paying taxes. If they’re going to get deported anyway, there’s risk regardless… may as well save some money in the meantime.

I’m not sure I agree with this, unless OP did something offensive. I’m back in the dating world for the first time in nearly a decade, and with every match that goes poorly either I explain “I’m sorry, I don’t see this going anywhere further but I wish you the best.” or they do the same for me. The only instance of ghosting was when a man tried to SA me a few months ago.

Jobs you’re applying to, as well, should send a response to your application even if it’s just an automated generic email.

This is the bad place.
