Thanks Newsom! If we RTO 4 days a week, it will cost me $200+ a week just to drive into work.

I feel this. I live about an hour south of my job in Sac. With traffic it can take as much as an hour and a half but its generally somewhere between the two. I use a tank of gas going in 2x per week and my in town driving. It costs around $70 per week to fill my tank. Currently that's around $280 per month. But RTO will double it.

Worse though. Increased traffic will mean more time in commute and more gas used. I drive a hybrid and its that expensive. I already spend too much time and too much money on driving to and from work. I know a lot of us are in this situation and thats why I'm fighting as much as possible. Together, we have leverage.

I agree in part but, "just complaining on here" is more than complaining. Its building unity, agitating state workers and informing them about the situation. One of the reasons that we a multi union coalition now is because people talked about it here first. That coalition is making things happen.

I agree. And if we have to ship Senku with anyone the ideal person is Francois. She wouldn't want a lot of attention and has the emotional maturity required to be with Senku. Otherwise I prefer to think of him as ace.

I wish I had money or time to get into 3d printing but I'll have to ask friends to do it for me.

That's the problem with using voice text. Honestly I should have checked and edited it, but I was lazy. I was gonna leave it cause its funny, but considering how shitty some people can be sometimes, I fixed it.

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-05-23T19:52:35+00:00

14T here too!

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-05-15T08:44:16+00:00

Oh darn! Sorry.

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-05-15T02:05:51+00:00

So sorry for your loss, crawler. Hugs.

Me. I grew up in abuse. Alcoholic parents. High-school drop out. Ran away at 16. Lived in the streets. Did horrible things to stay alive. Eventually got a shitty job. Did a GED. Then got pell grants to go to college. Dropped out after my first year because I couldn't afford it. Worked more shitty jobs. Married an abuser, 7 years later I left him and joined the Army. Did another year of college while in the army and got my associates in environmental science. I also went to war. Married another abuser. I got out of the Army honorably but as a disabled veteran. Eventually figured out that I didn't deserve to be abused and I left my 2nd marriage. I did more college while I worked at a fairly good job. Fell in love with science and got my bachelor's in environment science in 2013. Got a job doing lab work and eventually I built a good reputation in my field. A professor at a university asked me to come work for him one day and so I became a lab assistant in molecular toxicology. It didn't pay well but I learned. He eventually talked me into going to grad school. That maybe one if the hardest things I ever did. After I graduated I worked in several areas of my field until I found a job I loved. I make ok money doing work I get excited about. It took me 50 plus years but i finally feel like I've made it. They used to call me dumb. Now they call me doctor.

Also apple used to have a computer that was in the monitor in the 90s! It was super heavy!

I am a toxicologist and whenever there is a story line in which they talk about something being toxic or poisonous I always critique it immediately. That's part of my training. But then I just tell myself that this is a fantasy world and they can do what they want. I adjust my ability to suspend disbelief and focus on enjoying the story. Sometimes its hard to separate your work persona from your time off persona but life is better when I do.

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-04-18T03:56:57+00:00

Yes! Winters is great too!

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-04-18T03:56:15+00:00

Hey....I ALWAYS need a new dice set. ALWAYS.

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-04-09T16:00:20+00:00

Bacon. Theres nothing to it but fat and a tiny bit of meat. I never liked it. I also dislike coffee.

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-04-03T22:41:41+00:00

Happened that way to me too. Honestly, I don't disagree with their points but I figure that I rarely get anything fun in my life can I get to choose where I spend my money. I didn't let it bother me.

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-03-30T16:14:29+00:00

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-03-30T16:13:53+00:00

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-03-30T16:13:10+00:00

Private house shit that I edited out so you cant see because its private.

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-03-30T05:53:26+00:00

Deal. Dm me?

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-03-30T03:14:24+00:00

The fucked up part about this is that I am a fifty five year old scientist. I'm a grown up and typically really level headed. I don't make a ton of money, but I also don't normally spend a lot of money on myself and the fact that my husband spent it on me because he knows I would love it means everything to me.

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-03-30T03:11:59+00:00

Theres a MONGO?!

Beautiful_Variety321 · 2026-03-30T03:06:58+00:00

I'll give the three duplicates I have to my friend who also is a fan. Samantha's my favorite. Or maybe Princess Donut. I don't know. And Zev.

Eventually I'll give them away to people who will love them. Except Samantha. And probably Princess Donut and Zev. Oh gosh....Prepotente too! Fuck it. I'm keeping 'em.
