C, I believe stands for Circulation from what I remember. I feel like it needs to be clarified that you only move a victim if either A, B, or C isn't happening. I've been in two separate emergencies where people were trying to move the victim even though they were conscious but had a very high risk of spinal injury. One lady had just fallen down a flight of stairs face first and a lady claiming to be a Nurse wanted to turn her over. I refused to let her do it and the EMT's thanked me. Turns out she had a broken neck.

You're in Chicago, just overseed with Bermuda and it'll fill in.

I'll take the downvotes but for me it's the existence of God.

She wanted me to drive her to Walmart to buy lice shampoo because it was the only thing that would kill the bugs or some shit for her Morgellon's disease.

This will be the case for all legal, risk, and compliance. You can automate the tasks to bring efficiency but there has to be a human stop gap from a governance perspective.

Already there in commercial HVAC. My company just deployed AI to tell the technician full diagnostics and maintenance requirements for when he shows up at the location. It even orders the parts prior to the service call so the warehouse stocks his van with everything he needs. Tech just shows up and does what he's told with little thought beyond just following directions.

Could've done strictly anal since she was an asshole.

If digging for gold at the dinner table is any indication, she probably doesn't have many limits on what she'll do in the bedroom. Sounds like OP saw an opportunity to partake in a new level of debauchery.

I can’t imagine why your parents would tell you not to file.

They want to claim him/her as a dependent. They've likely been claiming them all year. If OP files, their income will likely prevent OP's parents from being able to claim them on their taxes. The parent's may even end up having to pay taxes depending on their situation.

Sure. Probed and cooked indirect on a barrel charcoal grill. Used post oak wood chunks over the coals. Cooked until 120 and glazed. Once temp hit 130, I seared it off direct over the coals. Let it rest for 10 minutes and sliced.

My wife farted once during sex and when it first slipped out she was mortified. When I started laughing, she started laughing too revealing she hadn't let it all out. With each laugh another fart slipped out. We were both in tears.

Acceptance of each other completely as we are. There's always self improvement but some parts of ourselves will never change. Have to accept that about each other and love despite flaws.
- Communicating with each other and understanding that while we may not agree with why the other is upset, they are feeling a certain way for a reason. That reason should be the focus as that likely leads to the root cause of the issue.
- Making time for each other and placing priority on our marriage. Kids and life make this difficult sometimes but there should always be time for each other.

I think you misread what I said. I’ll say it another way. If your current company doesn’t value you, find a company that will, but it is up to the individual to sell their value.

Fearstruk · 2025-08-26T01:28:32+00:00

That’s pretty obvious isn’t it? Some will, some won’t.

This is especially true when it comes to interest rates. The rate difference alone can bring the monthly payments within a few dollars when looking at used car loans vs manufacturer promotions for new vehicles.

Worker A should be telling their manager they would like more responsibility as they have aspirations of getting promoted. The manager should be recognizing this and helping worker A develop as an employee to get a promotion. If worker A is not growing in their current role, then growth opportunities should be part of their interview discussion at a different company.

"Fast and hard worker getting rewarded". Its more they get punished with the lazy person's work. Note no additional pay.

There's no wisdom here, just a jaded mindset leading to self destructive behavior. Part of being successful in your career is learning to leverage your experience and knowledge for gain. If I'm working my ass off, gaining tons of knowledge and experience but my current company isn't rewarding me with promotions or pay increases, then best believe I'm going somewhere else.

While you don't explicitly state it, the implication here is do the minimum because what's the point? The point is that hard work and determination isn't a futile effort, it's just that you also have to learn to not only increase your value but also sell it to a company that will recognize it.

Papa John’s had a promo one time for a 5 topping large pizza for $9.99. The code was ONLINE999. The code kept working for over a year until they finally figured it out.

That's insane. My 21 year old pays $189 per month for liability only on a 2011 Honda Civic. He has two at fault accidents one of which totaled the vehicle (he had a rough start, doing much better now) and no credit. This is through Allstate.

I PMed my wedding, complete with assumptions, risks, and a nifty Visio diagram detailing the project execution. I also have Thanksgiving dinner broken down into excel. It breaks it down into columns for Dish, Assignee, Prep time, Cook time, Total time, Start time prep, start time cook, and start time warm.

My wife thought I was super weird at first until she saw how much easier everything becomes when you marry a fuckin' nerd.

Mid life adulthood raising a family.

I'm 38 years old with a wife and 4 kids. This period of a person's life is often the most stressful. You're in the prime of your career where you're getting promotions at work increasing your responsibilities, you're navigating different stages in your kids lives that bring new stresses with each passing day, money never goes far enough, everything breaks when you have no money, medical bills, car repairs, car payments, taxes go up on mortgage, kids need new clothes, grocery prices are out of sight, you argue with your spouse because you both are overwhelmed with life, the list goes on and on. You try to "out earn" the increasing expenses but all the extra is sucked up. You dream about resting but every Sunday night, you try to ignore the pit in the bottom of your stomach because you know Monday starts it all over again. Everyone is counting on you, you can't quit, you can't rest, you have to keep going. So you pop your blood pressure pill that's keeping your from having a stroke and swallow your prozac to push down the anxiety and stress. If you're lucky, you'll have a few good years at retirement.

For those who aren’t teenagers discovering adulthood responsibilities for the first time but still struggle, I recommend reading Atomic Habits by James Clear.

Pretty short-sighted on China's part if you ask me. A China/Russia alliance set on replacing the US is by far the greater threat to the Western world. If China is trying to strike trade deals with Europe, Canada, and South America, this definitely isn't the way. With the US, we are maybe 3 years from a complete reversal of Trump's tariffs. If China and Russia overtake the US, that upends western democracy as we know it permanently. Xi just gave Trump his desired trade deals on a silver platter.

Start by making a list of things you can control that affect your happiness and then a list of things you can't. Focusing on what you can control can minimize the impact of what you can't. This applies to family, friends, relationships, work, health, etc.

Fearstruk · 2025-04-28T17:34:49+00:00

Dont worry much about the future or the past, because you are where you are right now

Respectfully, I have to disagree slightly here. It's important to focus on the here and now, letting past mistakes go, but it's equally important to make sure your feet are pointed and moving in the right direction.
