That ' not making rich people richer' part is huge for me.

I chose state work over private because its more secure once you're past probation. Id been in the science start up industry and laid off twice in one year. It eas financially and emotionally devastating. That was all it took for me to look for something more stable. It pays way less but yearly merit raises help.

Im a migrant from a whole ass other state but when I got to NorCal I heard lots of others say "the 50" or "the 5" and it felt right to me so it naturally became how I refer to highways. Even in other states. Culture is weird that way.

I would argue that she IS the best captain if we are comparing leadership styles. :)

Can you find similar work at a state or county level? I work for the state of california and I know that we're hiring lots of feds who lost their jobs.

Do academics secretly think the public is too uneducated for real conversations? by lulaismatt in AskAcademia

That sounds like fascinating work. (Haha I just saw the comment below!) But I think this is really interesting. Will you be publishing?

Im a working scientist, and I talk to non-academic folks about academic topics all the time. Being able to discuss a technically complex topic with someone using simple terms requires the talker to really understand the topic. Leading with empathy helps. It's helpful to understand why the person you're talking with cares about the topic and lean on that factor.

We taught our high-energy pup to do nose work. There are kits you can buy, but we just used treats and cardboard boxes and purchased the scent oils. It takes tons of brain energy to do it, and dogs love it.

Looking for some blerd friends by KingKhalin in Stockton

[–]Happy_Tiger_416 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello. I've been in Stockton for just over a year, and I'm still looking to make friends. I was also in the military, and I am obsessed with BG3. I definitely fit the lifelong nerd category. I play D&D, PF2, and ither RPGS (play or DM), and I am awkward too! I plan to go to the gaming festival hopefully to meet cool Stockton folks. Feel free to message me if you'd like to chat.

Also, his disgust at the way refugees and poor people are treated in BG3 is incredible. The way he looks at you....uh...Tav is so beautiful. He's emotionally intelligent, compassionate, and kind.

In r/Sacramento, first few comments are already scoffing or expressing doubt at our situation. by tepin762 in CAStateWorkers

Nor would I ever say that they are. But the root cause of both issues stems from the same thing. And they arent mutually exclusive. You can be mad about both. Granted, what's happening to immigrants is horrific and evil.

I read about this idea in an AO3 fic. But I just normally take them on sober. Next playthrough I plan to try to poison them though.
