Do it! I left SW Virginia for the Pacific Northwest and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Doubled my salary, with a modest CoL bump.

Had to come back to help take care of a terminally ill parent, and can’t wait to leave again when they are gone.

Go easy on them, they haven’t been handed their talking points yet, so are contractually obligated to continue with the last set they were given.

Let’s just say you could… How much to go back 46 years?

Thank you!

No argument here. Just highlighting the absolutely insane mindset of business owners/CEOs at all scales.

BT reference as I live and breathe. I know what’s going on my playlist for the drive coming up.

Came to add this one, glad I didn’t have to!

He can object because he’s decided that’s what is right. Literally nothing else matters.

The piece of shit that used to own my company is like this. His decision is correct and gospel, and if you don’t agree or if it’s provably false you are wrong. And it’s your fault you are wrong, because he has decided it to be correct.

Another vote for Garmin, wearing a Descent mk2i as my daily and dive computer. Two weeks on a charge, all the tracking I could ask for. It’s big, but so am I so it doesn’t look ridiculous.

To reinforce this, if my kids school system went on strike I would be behind it 100%.

It would fucking suck for us, but educators deserve better and I want them to get it.

Are you ok?

I feel like this is just another division tactic to split the vote to favor Republicans.

I have friends who were rabidly for Democrats and their agenda for decades, decrying single issue conservative voters, now acting the same way toward Biden over Gaza as if he single handedly orchestrated this and didn’t inherit years of foreign policy.

I fucking hate what’s happening there and don’t want to support it in any way, but my vote doesn’t change what’s already established and the alternative is so much worse.

I keep asking for a viable alternative and all I get is vote third party or stay home which solves exactly nothing.

Nano probes will be a lot more comfortable than the big fuckers the aliens are using today.

Something to be aware of, some devices will straight ignore your DNS settings in DHCP if they can’t get to their ads. My iPhone 13 did that. I had to block port 53 udp/tcp for everything but the piholes.

I’m sure eventually we’re going to see DNS over https doing the same and I’m 100% ready to mitm all devices that pull that bullshit…

Jesus…

I could totally see my idiot dog doing this.

Slowly

Clutch pedal as well, so you have 2x as many switches to go bad and strand you if you don’t know how to bypass.

Fuck, don’t give them ideas, climate change is bad enough as it is…

If I can play tradewars again, without having to worry about one of my friends calling to knock me off so they can get in, I’m in.

I think part of the unpopular reception is that those of us that suffer intractable sleep issues are told this constantly by people who just don’t understand it or are just out to shit on people they think are lazy.

From my parents convinced that I was useless and lazy, to co-workers who are sure I’m just too stupid to be able to sleep well, to partners I’ve had in the past… Always explaining to me how I’m doing something wrong, and surely if you just try to sleep you can. No. No I can’t. No matter what I do, even sleep aids are only effective for a week or two at the most.

It’s insulting to constantly hear people tell me that I just need to do this, or that and I’ll be able to sleep. Yes, I see it says many of us, but decades of being shit on for something we can’t control takes a toll.

I’ve struggled for 30 years to sleep ‘acceptable’ hours. At best, I can wake up early if I have to, and I do a lot because my child’s school starts way too damn early on the weeks she’s with me, and I’m on-call every other week when she’s not. That means I get 3-4 hours sleep most week nights. I’m too old for this shit, but I have no choice and no options. We know that not sleeping enough can have severe effects on physical and mental health, but if you aren’t on a ‘normal’ schedule that goes out the window.
