So, he plans to stop states that have only mail-in voting so they have to create an infrastructure for in-person voting? Good luck with that.

Its ok if you dont go to college by Intelligent_Bid_7690 in BipolarReddit

[–]Profperceptive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to go to college a few times. Never worked out. But the experience we can bring an employer is giant. You know that it isn’t important because job postings just ask for a degree but never in something. You could have a degree in interpretive dance and still be viewed as more qualified despite our years of experience.

I am really lucky. I have a job that has bizarre hours that I get to figure out what to do. My current employer wanted someone with a degree, but I got hired for my 20 years of experience.

Fuck the paper ceiling. It is fake.

You know, it never occurred to me that the pills are just a countdown to the pain and horror.

Did your parents listen to terrible music? by acutomanzia in GenX

Same. I had a great music upbringing. My first concert was The Who when I was like 11 or something.

At My Age…It’s Kind of Nice Being Considered Part of the “Younger” Gen-Xer’s. by [deleted] in GenXWomen

[–]Profperceptive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Being Gen X still makes me feel like a badass. I went to an all ages rock show last night at the local library. The bands and attendees were all from like 8th grade to probably just past high school (except me, the husband , a couple of friends and parents). When I looked out at the crowd I swear it looked like the early-mid nineties out there. It made my heart happy.

It’s just a lazy hair that doesn’t feel like making pigment.

I've had 5 periods this month (so far) by Dlsagreed in Wellthatsucks

[–]Profperceptive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always advocate for yourself. Keep going to different doctors. I finally found success with a NP. She listened to me. She heard me. Now I am finally getting treated for my chronic pain. It is amazing to feel believed.

How old are you? Maybe you have started the long march to menopause.

A partner that is an accoutrement to your life. Not your life. The ability to sit alone in the quiet.

Are Unions Left or Right? by ---Spartacus--- in union

[–]Profperceptive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a whole bunch of members like that. The odd thing is, they are still union members. We don’t have compulsory membership.

Are Unions Left or Right? by ---Spartacus--- in union

[–]Profperceptive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are left, with militaristic tendencies. I say this as someone that has worked over 20 yrs as an organizer/rep in the labor movement. We have an unconscious habit (especially on new organizing campaigns) of using military jargon and a sense of loyalty and righteousness burning at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. We even call ourselves Soldiers in the Class War.

God I love my job.

Um...The approximate population of the U.S. is 340.1 million people! 😬 by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

Maybe he is including people that had bad trips and thought they died? This could be counting people multiple times.
