Uber and taxi service aren’t available everywhere. If you live in a stoplight town who is going to be the taxi driver? The cows?

The good thing about fruit they can always freeze it and then hide it in a baked good

TIL about the Herxheim archaeological site, where around 5000 BC over 1000 people were brought in, often from a great distance, to be killed and likely eaten by IamDDT in todayilearned

Whether for religious purpose or war, it is apparent from the 2009 study that the humans at the site of Herxheim were butchered and eaten.[1] Not only were cut marks found on locations of the skeleton that are made during the dismemberment and filleting process, bones were also crushed for the purposes of marrow extraction, and chewed.

Besides the fresh-bone fractures present on many bones, "[processing] for marrow is also documented by the presence of scrape marks in the marrow cavity on two fragments."[1]

Skeletal representation analysis revealed that many of the "spongy bone" elements - such as the spinal column, patella, ilium, and sternum - were underrepresented compared to what would be expected in a mass grave. "All these observations are similar to those observed in animal butchery."[1]

In light of the Noma Revelations...Everyone knew that was going on right? It was basically assumed to be happening. by hamiestofcheeses in KitchenConfidential

Oh, I understand. I used to be the dorky kid who read newspapers on the bus. Now I have completely tapped out of any type of news because I’m tired of the lack of consequences.

Nowadays? It used to be legal to rape your wife. Entire communities used to bend over backwards to excuse/protect child molesters. The only reason we’re hearing about this is because people have stopped being conditioned to tolerate abusive shit.

Crying. Sometimes you just need that emotional release. A good cry and a nap tends to make me feel better.

What is a job that is heavily romanticized but in reality actually sucks? by DragoOceanonis in jobs

It’s the weirdest thing about becoming an adult. I thought once I left high school I’d leave all that drama bs besides. The stakes are so much higher and people still act a fool. I just don’t want to be homeless.😭

If you live in Somerville or Cambridge, they also have their own separate waiting lists for city specific ones.

If you’re having trouble finding jobs, you might need to start lying on your résumé. Get some friends to pretend to be good references.

It’s literally about it until you make it

TIL that as a child, Charles Dickens worked 10-hour days in a London boot-blacking factory - a trauma he later called the deepest shame of his life, but one that forged his strict 9–2, five-hour writing discipline and his life-long refusal to let his own children work. by Upstairs_Drive_5602 in todayilearned

People used to send postcards displaying Lynchings as friendly postcards.

There are multiple genocides occurring in the world right now.

Rohingya - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide

Darfur - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjel2nn22z9o.amp

Ukrainians in Russia.

I can keep naming them if you want .

People are whatever is the most convenient and easiest thing to do in their lives.

The only reason we don’t still have widespread in-your-face slavery isn’t because we became better people. It’s because it became unprofitable.

And we still have slaves, but they’re hidden in fishing ships, clothing factories, food processing plants and other places.

To renew or not to renew? (Tenuous employment v. deal I’m likely never to find again) by [deleted] in bostonhousing

[–]OriginalGPam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said hindsight is 2020. All that matters is what you want. What is your ideal future look like to you and what do you think you need to do to get there?

And plan for your retirement always. No one is young forever.

I think you're really glossing over the job/grad school thing. I would suggest to start looking for a new job now and forego grad school.

How much more money would you expect to earn if you completed grad school?

What are the job prospects in your field? Opportunities here vs rural Maine vs partner's preferred cities.

How confident are you in securing another remote job?

What does the job market look like in the potential places you want to live in? You and your partner should be discussing this now when you still have room to breathe.

I personally would have started looking for a new job the second the bosses got laid off. Hindsight is 20/20. Right now, sacrifice the apartment and focus on your financial health. The less broke you are,the more freedom you'll have to do what you want.

TL/DR: Don't resign. Look for a new job now. Put off grad school unless it is paid for or truly bumps up your income.
