I don’t decorate, but my husband does (he’s super into it and I am not). He decorates the house for Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. One year, my kids made me put a waving jack skellington on my back windshield wiper.

This did in fact blow my mind!

Dumb question: where do you store your eggs now, if not the fridge? My American mind is reeling.

I went cold turkey with the help of Wellbutrin. Best of luck!

I own a small business and have had great luck hiring people from small liberal arts colleges with degrees like philosophy, history, humanities, etc. These folks are smart and with the right training can do anything. Even better if they have worked fast food in the past (weird, right?). MBA graduates are expensive but require the same training and support - so I personally won’t hire from that pool. Although I have an MBA because it was a box I had to check for a previous role. I got the cheapest one possible and have no regrets.

Yes, but I’m lazy as shit and often need pressure to do anything beyond scrolling through Lemmy. 😉

Your experience as a tall person and mine as a short person makes me wonder if these clothing makers have ever met a woman in real life. It’s like they are designing based a description of a woman they heard 5 years ago.

I wish! There is a difference in size, shape and style (I have to be able to go to work).

I’m short, so regular pants are always like 9" too long and the waist of dresses always hit in the wrong spot. I’d wear petite clothes, but the selection is aimed at women in their 70s. It sux.

I saw a white cyber truck today (a first for me). It even more hideous than the silver and black ones.

Poems also count, right?

The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

French deep house from 2016.

I was just coming in here to say walking in nature or hiking. 🙂

Although I do also get some benefit in driving through nature too.

Salmon and asparagus. 😃

I am a stupid American and I am unfamiliar with all of these (might be a me problem). But now I’m gonna read up!

I thought it was a myth that kids got tangled up in the cord until my kid did it. Thank God I was standing near by.

Oh yeah, good point.

I think this happens because the publisher owns the content and owes royalties to authors under certain conditions (which may or may not be met in this situation). The reason I think this is I had a PhD buddy who published a book (nonfiction history) and we all got a hardy chuckle at the part of the contract that said the publisher got the theme park rights. But what if there were other provisions in the contract that would allow for this situation without compensating the authors? Anywho, this is a good reminder to read the fine print on anything you sign.

Maybe I’m misreading your comment (coffee hasn’t kicked in yet), but are you saying the bot is incorrect or that people view the bot as incorrect because it doesn’t support their biases?

OMG, what a nightmare. I can only assume you are looking for work elsewhere too. Best of luck to you!!
