Gotta love the days you leave with more than you came with!

I was always overly concerned with finding mine in the woods and would regularly search long enough and find other peoples lost ones

I dont know if its any solice to you, but the courts are changing. This story feels like its at least 20 years old, if not more so. My wife is a Family Law attorney, and shes shared story after story where the courts biased is slipping away. There are even entire national law firms dedicated to mens divorce/family law that thrived because they knew how to navigate the bias.

Id like to think your buddy’s story would have a different ending if it happened today

I mean, its voluntary as i submit to it and even value it. There is too much work for one person to handle, so having a boss who sets priorities, and them having a boss who works at negotiating contracts and dealings to align his business segment to grow and fit inside his bosses view for the whole company so thousands of us can remain employed. Yea i dont want those roles and responsibilities (nor do I have that skillset) and i volunteer to be in this heirarchy

At 27, i would have put down 12 light beers before dinner while on a trip with no real responsibilities.

I see this sentiment a lot. No way “youre the only one.”

I feel like im the only one. No one in my life uses it. My work is not eligible to have it implemented in anyway. This whole ai movement seems to be happening around me, and i have nothing more than new articles and memes that are telling me its happening. It serious doesnt impact me at all, and i wonder how others lives are crumbling

True, but not everyone there is vying for an academic job. Especially like something in thermodynamics. I work in the aerospace industry and every engineer has at least a masters in a science/engineering field, a lot have PhD.

My experience was different. All it did was make their filthy paws wet which made for more work cleaning up

Really? I used these a few times and all it did was get their paws wetter and not clean and made nasty paw prints across the house. I went back to a regilar towel pretty quickly.

Like i always tell me children, “control what you can control.” Works in so many situations, and gets them to take ownership of the situation, and their own happiness and stop blaming others

Is this for the millennials (i am one)? I thought the younger generations weren’t drinking like we did

Ah yes, their support network refusing to support them if they dont fit the mold someone else has instilled upon them. Definitely self inflicted.

Yeah. Those advocates for gender norms who says girls can be anything too will immediately tell you to “man up” at the first sign of weakness. How about we knock out gender norms both ways?

Guess what im doing with my problems now? And im also not sharing my solutions to said problems after theyre resolved because itll be a “why didnt you handle that sooner?” Or some other bullshit about how you could have prevented it from even starting

I imagine they dont air every episode they shoot either. They could easily shoot way more than they need and milk the hell out of the good stories/good games

I felt like this for a while. I was doing cool and interesting stuff… then i learned that my employer charges the people we contract me out to at $330/hr and i make no where near that. Burst that bubble real quick

As someone who has clinical diagnosed fatigue as a side effect of my chronic illness, yes it is? I regularly fall asleep at work, in meetings, watching tv, playing video games. My body is always tired even when my mind is not.

I usually cant sleep longer than 8 hours and i wake up feeling rested. But i just cant last a whole day on 1 charge. Most days i need a quick recharge

Is this Loss?

While this is all true, i can’t imagine that the left would have been celebrating a democratic win today if she won in the fall. If they truly wanted a democratic win (or to gain an inch) they would have pinched their noses and voted for Kamala

There are certain thresholds at my company where this happens too. One of the lines is 100k, and many of the managers are smart enough to push you right to 99,900 so you dont cross the line, that way when you do cross, your raise does increase your take home

I went to a coffee shop yesterday that tried to tell me they only accepted orders through their app. I almost walked out, until the finally poured my coffee, but continued to give me shit about it, “ok but next time you have to use the app”

“Yea no. There will be no next time.”
