Got a refurbished steelcase for ~300 with no regrets.

Probably by design, to be honest. Jobs tend to be very anti-parent, especially in US states where FMLA is legally protected.
I’m fortunate to work for a company that has a culture of prioritizing real life so you can do your best work. Sadly, that’s antithetical to next quarter thinking, so it’s not the norm.
The dumb thing is (in my experience) parents seem to work harder and stay at companies for longer than childless folks. They’re just shorter on free time and need some basic flexibility to address emergent issues. Not to mention being better at teaching and managing in general.
Don’t get sequenced and encourage your relatives to avoid as well. It’s not worth risking your genome getting leaked.
You can set a prompt on Poe with GPT-4 that allows for lewd RP. Will still occasionally throw “I’m sorry, I can’t”s but you just gotta remind it to follow the prompt and stay in character after deleting the message.
I’m not posting the copy pasta for it. Easy enough to find.
Worth $20 dollars on a Privacy card to try out, IMHO.
I used to be a researcher in hypoxia and wanted to clarify this for folks.
The way your brain and body detect low oxygen is indirectly via the drop in pH, or increase in acidity, that high carbon dioxide causes. They call this hypercapnia. Without hypercapnia, there’s none of the pain or distress of asphyxiation because your body can’t actually detect oxygen or its displacement directly.
At 78%, nitrogen is the overwhelming majority of air you breathe.
After 1-2 breaths of 100% nitrogen, humans lose consciousness.
This is why working with inert gases is so dangerous - you’ll asphyxiate without even knowing you entered a room without enough oxygen to sustain life. Had to do a whole training to get our liquid nitrogen tank into a smaller animal isolation room for our study for this exact reason.
If I had to choose a way to die, I’d choose nitrogen displacement without question.
As much as I resent it being the way of things, money is power under capitalism. Where possible, I try not to cede mine to people looking to do nefarious things or disseminate shitty ideals. While I don’t have much personally and Kant was a pretentious douche canoe, I’m still idealistically partial to the universal maxim.
Yeah, no ethical consumption under capitalism or whatever but we can try not to prop up people who are brazenly making the world shittier. Thinking our actions don’t matter is how we get complacency.
Ah yes, the classic “paying nothing to sustain and support a service, then declaring it hopeless because ‘the poors fucked it up’.”
Not sure things would look much different if Twitter was intentionally destroyed.
This really shouldn’t be grounds for termination. What people do off the clock is their business.
My sibling and I were over the moon that our abuser didn’t show up to our family’s holiday celebration this year. It was so nice to enjoy the company of actual family without their toxic sludge!
Windows 11 is adware and spyware wrapped in a thin OS veneer. I will never upgrade, end of support or no.
Dude, it must be your social circles. I’m related to, work with spouses of, or am friends with no less than 5 stay-at-home guys. Also, most men with families at my company take on significant child care responsibilities due to being able to work from home. It comes down to making things work so food’s on the table and good humans are raised (or a stable household is kept). Gender is impertinent.
When I got married I was just happy my wife had a non-negative net worth. This sentence and its paragraph really read like a spouse is an acquisition or earnings 😬
He’s also a class traitor. Should know better than fucking over workers from actual life experience in the working class. Still doesn’t give a shit.
This really is the trajectory for most unwanted children.
No heritable resources, a fuck ton of trauma, and unaffordable healthcare leads to lifelong difficulties finding and retaining work with no hope of mental health care to fix the central issue.
Oh I’m sure you would have warm, fuzzy feelings if your government decimated your city and you had no agency to leave. Lack of clean water, food, and medical aid amidst ongoing death and destruction would only endear them to you further, but of course!
Alt-J just cinches it for me 🎶🥰🎶
The only silver lining I can find is a bit selfish, but it’s really nice that the trans population of MN is growing explosively. Can’t even leave the house in the metro without seeing other GNC folks.
Eh. It wanted to go places. I wish it had been more fleshed out than the concept porn that was delivered, to be honest. The concepts were creative and interesting, but the narrative was rather weak, IMHO. It could have been so much better but it seemed to be stymied by heavy-handed, meddling producers.
This thread really showcases white fragility.
It was intentional. WCK coordinated with the IDF on the route plan.
