Idk man, you seem to believe the people in power are immune to consequences. They’re not. They get killed and/or ousted all of the time. If you don’t play politics and keep people happy, you tend to get Louis XVI’d.

I feel like the most worthless person in the world, generally and almost all of the time. Consequence of not getting along well with others plus not being hardworking enough to achieve anything.

In the US you’re legally required to pay in USD. That’s because during the 1900s, many people used to be paid in company currency that could only be spent at company stores. This gave the company a monopoly over their salary, allowing the company to drive up prices, drive workers into debt, and keep workers in such a poor financial state that the workers were unable to leave the company.

I was never interested in dating anyone queer while I was looking. it’s not the kind of relationship I’m looking for. I more want a regular guy who wants to be the dad and who will likewise let me be the mom. new boyfriend is like that and we’re happily getting to know each other.

fun fact, that’s the plot of the sopranos. you can’t disclose anything that’d make the therapist believe you’re a threat to yourself or others in therapy. they probably vent to their co-workers.

I think glass makers are pretty cool. Casually risk 3rd degree burns every day.

well unfortunately finding employment is not optional…

Graduating with a bunch of debt and then no one wants to hire me. AGAIN.

40-50. The recipes are the only ones I check regularly. The others are just references.

Spanish people complain about Spain all the time. Very low wages. Japanese people not as much.

There may be an increase in irregular riders, but the regular ridership is down by a lot. Many people choose to stay home for the holidays or stay in their neighborhoods.

the bus schedules were on holiday service, so it took ages to get home. and it was cold and wet.

Usually the males are bigger and heavier, and the females are smaller and more slender. It’s relative to the breed. If you see a husky, but it’s a bit small and thin, you can safely guess it’s a girl. But if the dog is totally average and well behaved, you can’t tell.

said “you can’t just ASK someone if they hire".

that person was dumb. asking is the only way to find out if someone is still hiring.

being a barista could be better for your autism, because it’s scripted interactions. however, in general, you want to apply to lots of jobs. lots of other people are looking, so other people will fill the openings quickly. you just have to keep applying until someone calls you back. it’s very normal to have to submit over 100 applications before you get a job. my dad likes to call it a numbers game.

but actually, the best way to get a job is not applying online. it’s asking the adults in your life if they know anyone who would be interested in hiring you.

No, but like, I didn’t buy the tv I have in the living room. My mom forced it on me. It doesn’t have a cable package and I rarely turn it on. There’s no reason to throw it away, but if it were up to me, I probably would have no tv at all. Kind of a 20th century appliance.

They peg their currency to the USD, because of their economy’s reliance on petrodollar states. They’re a small economy, highly reliant on foreign trade and foreign investment, so setting the rate facilitates stable trade and investor confidence. The IMF sends them a bit of cash to help them balance their books, but mostly it’s just high levels of reserves and policy.

oatly original. it’s my one ride or die grocery item. I can go a week without it during pumpkin spice latte season, but otherwise I am NOT happy with anything else in my coffee.

Oman has publicly criticized the strikes on Iran, but it also has agreements to allow the US military to use its bases and ports. Iran has attacked their ports with drones for that reason, although not much. They don’t want war in their region, which is fair.

yeah you need a bit of exposure to happy gay couples for your brain to connect the dots and go “aw, that’s sweet, they’re happy.”

At 25, you are old enough to take care of yourself and make decisions in your own best interest. Will it be perfect? Not necessarily, but you’re allowed to make mistakes in life.
