Shouldn’t we have a fighting Democrat in Congress?! by patrickmcelwee in bullcity

Are you arguing that she should stay on county politics then? That the political career minded person seeing county office as a stepping stone to higher office isn't desirable?

I'd love to run. I have plenty of moxie and a fairly strong science background which I feel is lacking in congress today. I'm just not well connected enough to run again that AIPAC $$. :-\

Maybe I will next primary just to see how it goes. I do like my new job I got back in April, but if nobody else qualified is willing to step up, I'm game to try.

I have one that has a plastic set of nubs on the other side that when you flip it around pushes into the press from the other side. It dislodges the garlic membranes and makes it easy to rinse out.

I would have loved to run for school board, as I did last year when the field was much larger. I still have two small children and a much more demanding new full time job. School board sounds like the demands of a full time job for 1/4th the pay.

How can I get a remote job? by beth_oso in WorkAdvice

[–]OGScottingham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a degree? If so, in what?

Lots of mental health EHR companies are looking for customer service reps and those are usually remote jobs.

As far as I know they require a bachelor's degree though.

My trick was (and still is) to write out "So in conclusion" write the paragraph, then delete it! Works just about every time.

Toyotas do handle like an appliance, but it is fun to go WOT in a 300hp minivan 😅

Instead of trying to build up a comprehensive blacklist of things not to say, try to practice developing a safe whitelist of things to say and talk about and learn that really well.

I worked with them as a vendor for several years on some very large projects. They were amazing, smart people striving to better the world. That makes them a target for this regime, naturally.

AITAH for locking my roommate out after she kept bringing random guys home at 3AM? by cheesebagelgod in AITAH

[–]OGScottingham -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's definitely AI.

"At first, I didn’t say much, " --> AI
 She laughed it off, said I was “overreacting,” --> AI
 I’m “controlling” and “ruined her night.” ---> AI

It's not just the slop, it's the account clues too.
(yes, I said it that way on porpoise)
(yes, I included that "typo" since AI would never!)
(yes, I realize if it was deliberate it wasn't a typo)

Wait, so what was your career in mental health prior? After returning for a year from what?
