I feel like this is exactly what the most disruptive members are wanting. Maybe I'm just being cynical and this is way off point, but it feels to me like they want a non-functioning federal government. This entire shit show is the plan. The wrench in the gears.

You might get differing answers due to the payment portion of the scenario, but here's my 2 cents.

No, there's nothing morally wrong here at any level to me. This is legally ok as far as the ages go, pretty much everywhere.

As long as there's no power dynamic being abused, and both sides are consenting, go for it.

Actually could be the breathing asshole of a parasitic fly larvae. Put some petroleum jelly over it in a thick layer and see if whatever it is crawls out.

Looked like either a rupturing cyst or maybe a skin tag. I wouldn't think it's anything serious but I will always recommend having a vet check it. Imo it's likely nothing but I'm also not a trained vet.

I'm hoping this is wonky "lost in translation" where they mean how to ask them out. Otherwise, yeesh.

The NHL forgot 70% of their players are under the age of 30 when they made the policy. Of course there'd be players forcing the issue.

Seconded. If it's marked nsfw and blurred, it's my choice to view at that point and I don't give a shit. My bad for playing roulette and losing if I clicked it and regret it.

I think you've got part of it right from my recollection and experiences, but not quite the full thing. I think Obama's success actually lead shitty people to lash out more, which brought trump to power, which emboldened those shitty people to stop hiding it and actually be proud and display it. I think the racism and shittiness was always there but people kept more of a lid on it. We just aren't able to pretend it isn't who we are more broadly anymore.

There's an entire instance for such things, though I don't know what more is there beyond mostly porn. Lemmynsfw.com

I'm kind of naive and gullible. I'm a little embarrassed I hadn't considered this perspective. It seems so obvious now that you point it out for us.

Even during the breaking up, try not to console them or make them feel better. I don't mean be a jackass. Other comments have covered the overall approach very well already. I just mean trying to help them feel better about it is really just for you. They're going to and are allowed to process it however they're going to, and you give up a right to try to be a part of their healing when you break it off.

Be kind during, give them space if you actually want to remain friends after, and let them process and heal how they will.

As I've gotten older I've actually preferred to be broken up with over being the one breaking it off. It's hard to do that to someone you care about but isn't a good fit for whatever reason. When it's broken off with me I can say so be it and start moving on and not have to hurt another person in the process.

Yeah, specifying "base salary" seems pretty disingenuous. It's all about the add-ons.

This is word for word how I could describe my migration as well

Do you snore, possibly excessively? Get drowsy and have to fight nodding off while driving? Do meetings send you to a seemingly impossible fight with staying awake?

Much of your description describes me before I had a sleep study that diagnosed me with sleep apnea. I've been using a CPAP for almost a decade now and it was a life changer and possibly saver.

I'm not a medical professional, so take this as you will; I would recommend talking to your healthcare providers and see if a sleep study might be in your interest.

To go with this, never go back. Once it's done, move on yourself. The memories will likely skew toward the positive as time goes on. That's ok, bit remember you broke it off for a reason and let go.

This is just my opinion, but I don't think so. I love the thought and wish there was, though. I think no matter what you do, it's still information about a potential user/customer and still tells someone looking at it about you. "Oh, we have information on about 4% of the population that wants to actively subvert our data analytics.". Obviously that's made up, I didn't bother trying to even guess what a potentially realistic number might be.

Again in my opinion, the only way to provide no value to data analytics is to not be a data point, and good luck with that. Best I've been trying to do is disable targeted ads anywhere I can, reset my identifier ids regularly on things like android tv where I can, and try to blast cookies anywhere possible. I don't know if it even makes a difference or just makes me feel better

I'm not a health expert, take this with a grain of salt. I'd be disappointed it was rusting, but also mostly shrug it off and keep using it unless it gets bad and flaky/scaley

Abortion should be legal until the offspring is 18. "Son, this isn't working out. Let's go for a ride.".

I did flu, COVID, and Tdap this year at the same time since I can't remember the last time I got a tetanus booster. Would make sense to have a combo shot. I'm not paranoid about vaccines, so if I'm getting one, I may as well get the other.

That triple shot combo was a motherfucker though for the next two days after.

I think they're saying that they just want to be able to hide the post once they've seen it so it doesn't keep popping up, not to prevent from seeing it at all.

Traffic. I25 north from Denver. 3 hours from when I realized my fuck-up to the next possible exit thanks to a flatbed truck across all 3 lanes trying to remove a white suv that was somehow high centered perpendicular on the concrete median with no visible damage.

I'm not adding to any conversation really but this is pretty much my answer too

Edited to add: I Guess I didn't really address the point specifically about not studying and struggling with the tests. That was me the entirety of my education, from the first grades I can remember all the way through my 8.5 years of college with 2 degrees. I just didn't care, especially when the homework itself wasn't graded. I'm not sure how to help on that point specifically, other than to say that you're not alone, and I made it with similar issues.


It's really difficult to stay motivated for as long as we're in education. Do you know where your current standing is specifically in those two courses? Could you go to those two professors and voice what you're facing and see if there's any recommendations they can provide you?

It's ok to fail. We don't want that to be our normal state but it's ok. It's ok to be tired and struggling with motivation. A big part of learning is learning how to adapt to new situations and not just learning a particular topic. College is about both and then some.

What year are you in? Some of those early courses are meant to get you to the next step, and some (it's been a while for me, maybe it isn't this way anymore) seemed like they were intentionally designed to get people to quit. Weed out courses, so to say.

One of those weed out courses I went through was a huge attendance first level physics course that it seemed like nobody was doing well. About 1/4 dropped it over time to avoid the failing grade.

In the end, the professor did a flat full 2 grade "curve" for everyone that stuck it out. I don't think his intent was to teach, I think it was to break those who would be willing to drop. I don't like the concept of those courses, and I don't even know if they exist anymore, but that's also something to consider if the ones you're failing in have that kind of feeling to them.

Keep trying, you're not a failure just because you've failed at something, and sometimes this is part of life. You've got this.

I prefer its big sibling the Boulevardier.

  • 1.5 parts bourbon or rye
  • 1 part campari
  • 1 part sweet vermouth. I prefer Carpano Antica

Express an orange peel over and garnish with it

I'm a big fan of unsweetened soda water. Ila Croix, klarbrunn, bubly.

I make my own though with a soda stream. I have a shit ton of hops as a home brewer so I make flavoring that's steeped hops (filtered out after steeping), combined 50/50 with juice blend I make 50/50 from lemon and lime. Not the fake from concentrate shit, but I don't fresh squeeze it either. You can get the real stuff in most grocery stores these days.

So 1/2 hops tea, 1/4 unsweetened lemon juice and 1/4 unsweetened lime juice.

Then I put about an inch of that in a pint glass and fill it the rest of the way with soda water.

Very low calorie and hits the spot. It has helped me entirely stop drinking beer at home.

$1800 lease breaking fee. It's up in March and even that feels like it's going to break my sanity. I'll get there though.

For a moment I thought this was "unpopularopinion". This is an awful idea and you're entitled to nothing. They're not a government entity, your usage is at their discretion.

Yeah, now I'm old and, when it comes to relationships, mostly dead inside. Starting to think I may be aromantic and now pretty much consider "love" to be a more positively connotated word for codependency.

"as it's called" or "as they're called"? It's a bit wordier but I think conveys the meaning you're going for without the negative connotation. I also think context should usually direct a reader/listener to or from any negative connotation for the "so called" usage. That said, it doesn't hurt to be clearer.

After reading this, I just went and deleted my also 7 year old Reddit account.

I thought I'd feel "buyer's remorse," but really I feel pretty much nothing.

I had to double check that my boozed up vision didn't loose a couple zeros. Fuck CEOs across the board, hell, "C-suite" in general, but 1.5m is about the lowest I've heard for a CEO.

That said, their decisions are generally the real reason to hate on the Cs. The gap in pay is the hate cherry on top.

Edit: I'm reminded that base salary is a pretty lame comparator after reading another comment. Total compensation package is worth taking about.

How far northwest? If close enough to lake Superior, maybe a lake whitefish. If not very close to lake Superior or other deep lakes, possibly a white sucker or quillback, which I grew up calling a sheepshead.

Scroll through this and you can check out the whiter fish with larger scales.

I don't think you're going to end up getting any comments about successfully getting this to work, but hopefully I'm wrong and my comment ends up being irrelevant.

It doesn't look like this is possible, by design from Samsung. We're talking deep in the smart things app a check for if it's a Samsung system and throwing an FU if the system isn't.

Hate to tell you to spend more money, especially for something Samsung who dicked you in the first place, but you might be best served getting a second hand or refurb Samsung tablet to use for administering your tags.

One thing I read once and applied to my last dog and my friend has done with his: use as the hand gesture for sit bringing both your hands up to your chest, like kids do when afraid. Dogs tend to respond to visual commands as much as or more than vocal. This way if someone is scared of the dog and makes that scared gesture, the dog will (in my experience in most cases) sit.

And in general, consistency is the most important thing. In the end, teach your dog whatever commands you want with whatever cues you want, but consistency is the key across the board. This includes initially how anyone interacts with your dog during the initial training phases, if possible. This helps reinforce the specific training you're doing and that not just you should be able issue commands

Interesting, I've been using jerboa since the great migration,and while it has had its moments, it's overall been a smooth and enjoyable ride. Early on I had an issue like you're describing with the sort types, but not in many versions. 0.0.55 is the latest play store version. Might be worth clearing data and cache and re-logging in if you are already on latest

when all his friends, co-workers and associates are drunks and he lives right above a bar.

Do you know me? I feel like you're talking about me.

Uh, yes? Good, bad, or otherwise, always has been.

In the context of my comment, it's pretty clear what I was referring to as love. I'm not sure what part of the expressing of my current experience was so threatening to a bunch of people, but that wasn't my intent.
