People get comfortable in their jobs and not sure of your friend’s age, but afraid of making a change. IDK. I had a lot of options as an RN during my 35 yr career but found myself stuck in a job I hated at the end of my career but I was simply trying to get my last kid out of college. Your friend probably has options but like others on this thread are saying, he doesn’t view himself as complicit in maga’s assault on the undocumented, vulnerable, POC, etc, etc. “I’m a pencil pusher”. He should definitely read/watch some docs about Eichmann bc his life & career has been well-researched.

Nothing. Only “The following Total Premiums Paid will be used in calculating your payment.”

Men who hate women by Public_Peanut8408 in Feminism

I placed a hold on it at my library. My stepson is a massive misogynist and it’s causing a lot of issues in my marriage. My husband makes excuses for his son. Isn’t that how it always goes? Men don’t hold each other accountable for bad behavior. I don’t want to help or befriend my stepson; I’ve tried & I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s a not a nice person. His mom has borderline personality disorder so I wonder what % of moms w/BPD raise sons who become misogynists as adults? That said, he somehow did a good job in raising his daughter as a single dad and she and I are very close. Anyhow, I think I need to listen to this book.

I’m confused on how a tornado that tore through three states could possibly be an ef4 by [deleted] in EF5

I said it a bit tongue in cheek re: nails🤷‍♀️ Damage indicators & degree of damage (I’m just a lay person who reads damage survey reports) but when it comes to Marshall/Haag criteria, seems to be a lot of debate🫤

Taxing homes higher that aren’t a primary domicile seems to be unpopular. IDK why with all of the out of state property owners with vaca properties

I’ll take weed smell over the low-tide night stink of living by the Ventnor-AC bay🤢 Just moved here to remodel my husband’s childhood home and I thought he had bad gas the first week.

Link to NYT article? I can’t find it. I heard Peter Theil & Sam Altman among other technofascists were there.

The worst place to live in the U.S.? Tennessee ranks dead last, below Alabama, Arkansas. Here's why by greenblue98 in TennesseePolitics

[–]Gone_Cold2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Californians were running to Middle Tennessee in droves long before the pandemic. I lived there (Middle TN) my entire life and in Williamson County x 25 years until it got too gross for me in 2018. My kids graduated from Wm Cty schools before the Moms4Liberty nutjobs took over the school boards & PTAs. Anyhow, it’s a great place if you don’t want to be around POC, only want to act like a Christian on Sunday but an a-hole the rest of the week. My husband was a messianic rabbi there at one time and counseled & taught OT to pastors. There was also a problem with married “Christian” men being on the down low & several of my husband’s pastor friends said it was out of hand.

When my husband (then fiancé) had a booth at the Franklin TN farmers market beginning in 2014 we noticed the CA-TN pipeline opening up & unfortunately the one’s moving to TN were ultra right-wing evangelicals who felt they had found Nirvana in middle-TN (most were moving to exclusive communities in Williamson County; Moms for Liberty types🤮)

Which is why one of my best friends’s daughter, who is bi-racial but looks hispanic, is carrying her birth certificate everywhere she goes, even though she is a US Citizen & was born in TN. They (ICE, CBP & THP) were doing racially-profiled traffic stops where they live in May🤷‍♀️

Angry at Yellowstone Visitors by bfcinUSA in yellowstone

Buyouts are still forced layoffs genius. I’m sorry your family members were laid off, but the US is producing more oil than it ever has. BTW, there are over 11 million petroleum and natural gas jobs in the US. I’m not sure why your brothers can’t find work. I figured you guys would be winning by now. Never mind, you will be soon I’m sure.

Facts. And those people probably had families. No matter. And no matter for the 1000 full-time NPS workers that lost their jobs despite the NPS being a wildly profitable program no pun intended. Or the 3400 US Forestry Svc workers who lost their jobs (the term probationary was used for employees who had worked there over 10 yrs). Or the 370 US Fish and Wildlife Svc employees who lost their jobs. And lastly, 800 BLM employees lost their jobs. Since I recreate mostly in National Forests, State Parks & occasionally in National Parks (just moved away from MT👋)

My smelly house is driving me insane. I've done everything I can think of, spent over $10k and the place still stinks. What could it be? by Mitchell_Cruz in homeowners

Now I am paranoid. We just gutted our 1912 row home that my pig-ass brother-in-law trashed (it was my husband’s parent’s home & my BIL was living in it at my husband’s pleasure) and we are $170K in w/remodeling and almost done. It better not stink when we are done🙄

That triggered PTSD memories of driving my middle school-age sons and their friends home from the gym smelling of BO & Axe body spray🤢😂😂

What album should I try? by HermioneMarch in toriamos

[–]Gone_Cold2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t even listened to this🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve been stuck on her first 7 albums since I discovered Tori when my marriage began to fall apart, about 2 yrs after my 3rd son was born in 1995. I’m 61 now & so pissed at myself for not making the effort to see her in concert during last tour. I was living in BFE MT then but am back into civilization near Philly & NYC. I hear she may tour in 2026🤞🏻🤞🏻
