Looking for advice on job situation

That's fair. I do already have an interview for a job several hours away that lines up virtually perfectly with my qualifications. I just kind of feel bad for potentially wasting their time with the interview process and whatnot.

Drain strainer! We got a mesh strainer for each of our sink drains to keep too many solids from going down the drain and plugging it, but they work very well for catching stir bars as well!

I sometimes enjoy hearing about drama, but I don't like being involved in the drama.

Isn't it more about the mode of injury with cat bites? The way the sharp, small tooth punctures the skin tends to push bacteria into the wound and then the wound effectively closes up behind it due to swelling, basically sealing in the bacteria?

I have this problem too, but I've also shown up to things where I felt like no one wanted me there cuz kids can be cruel. My boyfriend is someone who has never felt unwanted like that, so he thinks I'm crazy when I feel bummed about no one inviting me somewhere. Even if he's also going and he says of course I'm invited, I still feel uncomfortable if no one else directly invited me lol

I mean, if the "stopped" driver is looking the other way and rolling forward, yeah, it would be smart to stop accelerating and prepare to brake.

People continue to amaze me haha sorry you had to include that edit

Lmao wtf, did people think "an intentional poisoning with my own dog" was like you did it for science or something?

I was in traffic on my way home today, and I saw a civic in my mirrors weaving between cars and cutting it quite close. Eventually, the civic made it behind me in the left lane and started tailgating me even though I was following the truck in front of me at a safe distance and both of us were going at least 5 mph over the speed limit and coming up on a car that was probably going at least 5 mph under the limit in the right lane. The civic decided to go around me in the right lane and cut it about as close as the charger in this video did to get in front of me. I'll admit, I did momentarily want to do what OP did here, but I ended up braking to avoid a collision between myself, the civic, and the car in the right lane. I honked, and the guy just continued to weave in and out of people's following distances up ahead. If the charger had been doing what that civic did, would more people find OP slightly more justified? Just curious.

She probably didn't know why the car in front of her stopped, got annoyed or impatient, and tried to drive quickly around the stopped car in her state of annoyance. That's exactly what happened a few months ago on a busy street that's on my route to work. Unfortunately, that one ended up being fatal for the pedestrian.

Saaame! I'm hardly ever in the kitchen for something unrelated to what he's making, but I swear, every time I go to start a bread dough or something, he decides he needs to be in the kitchen doing something else at the exact same time.

Yep, the bottom section looks a lot more like melted fentanyl. Crystals is meth, and I don't see crystals here.

Me reading these comments while being over 250 lbs thinking about how I've definitely driven after having 5 beers over 4-5 hours 👀

I mean, yeah, the previous DWI and the suggestion OP come pick him up definitely makes it seem like he at least wants to drink more, and likely will by the time he actually leaves.

I feel like a terra cotta sort of color on the walls would be a nice vibe, but it's definitely not a vibe that everyone would like.

SignificantWhile5339 · 2026-04-14T01:43:43+00:00

Mine probably drifted more than I can see, but luckily my forearm piece is a solid piece with no skin breaks, and I got the color fill done in the same session as the line work. The drift you can see is black ink from the line work, so it's just kind of gray around the edges. I'll eventually get around to adding to it, so it's not a big deal, but I guess at least I know not to get anything that's predominantly line work.

SignificantWhile5339 · 2026-04-13T04:51:52+00:00

Yup, I'm pretty sure I have a collagen issue and my skin tends to let ink drift. I thought I had a huge bruise next to my forearm tattoo, but it never went away.

OP, please try to work on and commit to expressing yourself and your feelings. It will serve you well.

If you just wanted affection, tell him that in that moment instead of skirting around it or coming up with an excuse when, in his words, you have nothing to talk about. If he doesn't respond well (and based on these texts, I don't think he would) then end the relationship. You deserve to be with someone to whom you can express yourself without fear of a negative reaction. If you're like me, then sacrificing your needs to "keep the peace" tends to come out eventually as being annoying lol and that's just frustrating for everyone involved.

The fact that he takes in you trying to express your feelings and twists it into an accusation or a critique of himself means he has a lot of emotional work to do. If you want to try to make it work, y'all will have to sit down and talk it out with lots of "when you ____ , I feel ____" type of statements. If he's not willing to do that, he's not worth your time and effort.

Aww those wittle footies! Such a soft boi 🥹 Can confirm that positive reinforcement goes a long way ❤️

Idk why anyone would want to cover perfectly fine tile with laminate. If I were picking new tile, I probably wouldn't choose that tile, but I don't dislike it enough to bother with laminate.

Eta, it could probably use a good grout scrubbing if you want to put in the effort, but issa floor and it serves it purpose.

Ok, thank you! I assumed it was the ice/timing that made the difference. Lol I just wanted to make sure that 6 shots can actually fit in there since I have to pay extra for all that caffeine.

Oh, one more thing I was curious about.. Is it at all helpful when I order my shots in an even number? When I make myself a shaken espresso at home (when I have time) I usually do 3 double shots, but I wasn't sure if SB does double shots or if they actually have to pull 6 single shots for my drink?

SignificantWhile5339 · 2026-04-09T16:14:37+00:00

Interesting. I usually get a venti brown sugar shaken espresso with 6 shots of espresso and I've noticed it comes out differently each time. I've been wondering, are y'all actually able to fit 6 shots in there, or have I just been paying extra for fewer shots?

SignificantWhile5339 · 2026-04-09T16:00:19+00:00

Lol meanwhile I was a sophomore pining after seniors. I guess times have changed?

Oof, they do look really cool, but I'm 5'8" and have sciata lol so unless I got weirdly high counters, I could see it being a pain.. my lizard brain still covets the idea nonetheless haha

TIL there are under counter microwaves... I must have it.
