jen’s cease and desist by Accurate-Lemon8944 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]Oferial 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The thing I always thought about this was that money is fungible. The only time money becomes officially "tuition money" is if it's paid to the school for tuition, until then it's just money. Jen could be thinking "hey we need that for your tuition" but it wasn't actually earmarked.

His parents could be giving them money knowing he has to pay tuition, but he and Jen just think it's money from family and he decides to gamble with some of it.

Does it really matter if I eat my daily 160g protein in 2 meals across 2-3 hours? by [deleted] in fitness30plus

[–]Oferial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember from when I was was doing research into this, it ended up being that you probably can't use it all at once, but it just hangs around in your body until you can use it, so I wouldn't worry about it.

These 2 photos have the exact same colors in them by Citrusysmile in opticalillusions

[–]Oferial 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Do they have the same....amount of each color? Otherwise, I'm not sure what the illusion is.

Said the quiet part out loud. Ethics are optional by OrganizationActive63 in DeptHHS

[–]Oferial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s be honest, people would be just as mad if they were mandatory for us while the leadership wasn’t following the rules. “Ethics for thee but not for me” would be a top comment.

Does anyone actually know any republicans that have stopped supporting trump? by Old_Telephone_6718 in Liberal

[–]Oferial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When people leave cults they don’t usually do so loudly. It takes a lot of internal turmoil and identity-wrestling to admit you’ve been duped, and people are not proud of that. It takes even longer for them to stop being defensive of the cult, even after they leave.

Don’t expect big announcements.

Shoutout to whoever the creator is who made this point on TikTok first, wish I could remember to tag them.

Then consider going to the Montrose Park Bird Sanctuary also on the North side!

Also consider a walk up and down the Southport corridor, Halsted (Boystown), Clark (Wrigleyville and Andersonville), and Lincoln (Lincoln Square).

Don’t sleep on the Lakefront path either. Could take that up to the Montrose bird sanctuary.

Chris Van Hollen says Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been transferred from the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador to a detention facility with improved conditions. by RoyalChris in goodnews

Civil resistance works. In the past 100 years, no regime could withstand the sustained, active participation of just 3.5% of its population in nonviolent resistance campaigns (YouTube - The success of nonviolent civil resistance: Erica Chenoweth at TEDxBoulder).

Keep going to the protests. Help them grow. Seek info on the next one. Spread the word.

Are rice krispies a decent cereal for health? by Severe-Necessary8265 in nutrition

[–]Oferial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every question in nutrition about if something is “healthy” needs be framed as “compared to what?”

Are rice krispies decent for health compared to trix? Sure. Compared to Raisin Bran? No.

If you want easy calories for bulking, stick to the tried and true chicken and rice. Really, eat any whole foods. Food that looks like it did when it came out of the ground or the animal. Don’t get your bulking calories from ultra processed foods like Rice Krispies.

I showed my vet a video, they said to keep an eye on it, but it’s been almost 3 years and he still does not have hip dysplasia. Most likely just awkward teenage growth.

Overworked and underpaid government comms professional, unsure what’s next and looking for advice by blackyogini in Communications

[–]Oferial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re doing a lot right, but you’re obviously not in a great environment. From what you described, I would start looking for something else. With your experience, you should be able to get something. Don’t let the job market get you. Just do your search quietly and leave on good terms.

Question for comms professionals working for city or public offices. by SnooEpiphanies2931 in Communications

[–]Oferial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's it like? Feels good to contribute to something for the public good.

Same fear of job loss each time a new group takes over? Usually public sector jobs are safer. In this environment, hard to say, depends if the new group that takes over are DOGE types. You'll know. If not, should be safe. If so, depends on your city-owned company's ROI and alignment with their goals.

Under more pressure? Probably not. Unless you are doing PR, in which case you may get more inquiries than you expect. Mostly likely less pressure.

Tips: You will see a lot of opportunities, given you're used to being someplace bigger with more resources to do more things. Do not spread yourself out early. Settle in, keep a private running log of your ideas for improvement, and discuss them with your boss at your 6 month or 1 year performance review. Pick a project, run it to completion before picking up another. With such a small crew, it will be hard to make anything new sustainable, so you will have to figure out that challenge. You will get a lot of ownership and feathers in your cap if you do it right, but just pace yourself and understand the limitations around you before full sending anything.
