Didn't you just post this same thing an hour ago? https://lemm.ee/post/737971

If they think they're getting paid, I would argue that they're also idiots

"oh this? this is just my news boner. I really love the news"

I think they meant to say sanctions, not seasons.

I don't know about giving extra benefits to workers with children. Certainly, workers with children should be given what they need to have a healthy work/life/family balance but I don't think workers without kids should be denied those same opportunities just because they chose to live their personal life differently. I think workers in the same role should be equally compensated with all of the same benefits and opportunities which then can be utilized as best suits their personal situation.

My wife and I were thinking about this last week. We were wondering about personal security. At least where we live, they like to make a spectacle of the big winner with photo op, publish name and how town, etc. We wondered if that would invite trouble for the winner. For instance, would people try to break in expecting you to have valuables? Would you be a target for kidnapping and ransom? What about your family or close friends, would someone kidnap them to get you to pay ransom on? Even if you immediately spent it all, would people still try, not knowing it's all gone? I'm with you, I'd keep it as secret as I could.

I know! And it would take forever to heal that wound.

I'll bet it all on never.

My grandma hid in a nearby woods with a small candlelight and gave treats to whoever dared approaching.

Fuckin What?! I love it, it sounds awesome, but can you imagine, "strange woman lures kids into the forest with candy", that would never happen today.

Oof, this one hit hard for me. I've been working a lot of hours lately and I need to start putting my actual life as a priority. Thanks for this.

I think that might depend on who you're hiring though. That's the same line our boss told me when they pushed me back to the office. But in the time since then, we have hired several new staff who actually prefer to communicate digitally. They will email, teams, phone, or text me with questions before actually seeking me out in person.

This is exactly how I feel. I have so many things to do that sometimes I get overwhelmed and end up doing nothing. Then I beat myself up that I just wasted that time (intentionally doing nothing is better than doing nothing out of anxious paralysis). Even when I try to intentionally relax, I find myself recounting all the things I "should" be doing instead. I've learned that I need to stop shouldding on myself. I still do it, but at least I'm aware of it and watch out for it now.

Yep, it's been so long that I feel awkward about reaching out, which makes me delay and avoid reaching out, which makes it even longer since we last talked, which just makes me even more awkward about reaching out. It's a vicious circle...

This is such a great explanation, thanks for taking the time to write it all out.

I use the side squeeze everyday. My pixel 2 is still going strong. I will be heartbroken when it finally gives up.

If it's done right, coconut cream pie is my favourite for sure. But raspberry is a close second.
