You have to use a corporation to steal money and not face punishment if caught.

That means they had dibs.

Gas powered high volume blowers, yes.

Electric ones aren’t so bad.

Yeah, that is accurate. Astrology pretending to be science.

I don’t think of youtube as a streaming site for some reason. Maybe because I only interact with it on a computer and the others through TVs even though everything can go through both.

Streaming sites not including the option to block content is frustrating.

I remember when Netflix let you hide individual movies so they didn’t clutter up the categories. When it was removed there was a rumor that giving it a low score would hide it but that never worked for me. Don’t even remember the other services offering an option to hide stuff.

Really wish that option was common.

I love them all but its like, how did this shit get on TV and then anywhere near children lmao.

The Brak Show was on Adult Swim along with a lot of other cartoons aimed at adults. I seriously doubt Happy Tree Friends was grouped into children’s programming, but I only know that from the internet.

Fairly Oddparents & Billy and Mandy both had stuff that might be heavy or scary if you think about it, but the surface level stuff had enough humor involved to make it less intense than it could have been. A lot of shows for kids have more complex stuff that goes over kid’s heads.

Myers-Briggs is modern snake oil.

So funny story, people move around a lot and settle in new places…

pacificism

Hmmmmm

With accuracy rates declining over time, we are at the ‘as good as it gets’ phase!

Unintentionally is the right word because the people who designed it did not intend for it to be bad information. They chose an approach that resulted in bad information because of the data they chose to train and the steps that they took throughout the process.

That’s not to say that the average person is openly bigoted

I do think the average person openly perpetuates racist stereotypes due to the pressure of systemic racism. Not that they intend to, and their beliefs frequently contradict their actions because they just don’t notice that they are going along with it.

Like the average person will talk about the ‘bad part of town’ in a way that implies the bad part is due to being where ‘those people’ live.

You could rent an automatic, get the lesson, then see if you want to use their cars or keep the rental. I do recommend giving it a shot since it would be a new experience!

There is a small learning curve to manuals, and it is slightly harder in hilly areas.

Pizza crust is pretty inconsistent on being emjoyable. Domino’s crust is ass. Godfather’s is fine because it is so narrow. We have a local place with hand tossed crust that is seasoned and basically like having a side of garlic breadsticks.

I love bread crusts from everything except mass produced bread like white bread. I love sourdough crusts more than the insides!

Mass produced bread crust is just awful. I don’t cut it off but totally understand why so many people do.

Right side roads here, tend to follow the same pattern on sidewalks and hallways for consistency and that seems to work out for everyone.

When walking on a road itself, walk into traffic (left side) so you can see if you need to move out of the way. Bikes go the same direction because they are grouped in with vehicles.

US government job in Kansas

A new employee starts with: 1 discretionary day of their choosing 9 holidays (sometimes 10 if Xmas is on a Tuesday or Thursday) 12 days sick leave (accrues if not used) 12 days vacation leave (there are max, so people have to use it eventually) For a total of 34 or 35 days of leave

I have been working for 15 years so I get the max of 21 days of vac, making my total leave 43 (or 44) days of leave available each year.

I tend to use vacation for two or three one week vacations and then sprinkle the rest around for other needs. The few times that I have had to work overtime I can choose the overtime at 1.5 vacation leave instead of extra pay so a couple of years I got a few extra days of vacation to make up for overtime. I will get funeral leave which is a separate thing from vacation or sick leave when my father in law passes away in the next couple of months.

While I make less as a state employee than in the private sector, I don’t have obligated overtime and I have never been denied leave in the couple decades of working at the state. Plus the private sector in the state is not required to provide any paid leave at all, which is a fucking travesty.

Teach them meditation, then get then to practice with you when you don’t want to talk.

Or explain that you are not always up for his level of energy and want to know how to let him know. Do this when you do have the energy, that way they know you still like them being sround but need breaks sometines. Kids are pretty adaptable at that age and not nearly as judgy as adults if they understand you are being honest.

Critical thinking. Religion and our education system beat curiosity out of people and they end up being unable to process information on their own.

Also driving. People can’t stay in their own lanes, stop three car lengths from an intersection because they don’t understand that the ‘see the tires in front of you’ made sense in low sedans with sloped hoods and not their massive SUVs with flat hood, and don’t bother signaling when changing lanes slowly.
