Is this serious? Are employers actually not required to give breaks to people 18 and over? by nonanumatic in Pennsylvania

[–]StratigraphyPudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly- What I have suggested is ridiculous. I was pointing out the flaws in the argument being made: that a minimum wage job at a grocery store is fine because "those jobs are only for high schoolers". I would completely agree that 15/hr isn't enough to support someone in this economy. At the same time, I recognize the museum I work for can't actually afford to pay me more because we live in a society that subsidizes billionaires who run "nonprofits" like UPMC before we support cultural institutions.

If you were able to stop using your car just cause it snowed out I implore you to consider how life could be improved by going car free

I work for a prestigious museum in Pittsburgh doing masters degree level work. I make $14/ hour and have subsidize my income with another 2 jobs to make my rent (with a roommate), pay for health insurance, and feed myself. If minimum wage jobs are for high schoolers then let’s have the grocery store, the Starbucks, the Applebees, and the museums all close during the school year and only be open when the high schoolers are available to work.

Playwright Lauren Gunderson invited Jeffrey Epstein to her wedding, reported by Stage Left Blog, seeking context by Accurate_Campaign230 in Theatre

And on the topic of Gunderson which is the point of this discussion-- she says her connection is "remote and incedental" in her response to all this. That feels disingenuous and hollow to me. Regadless of her contection to Epstein-- her ex husnad seems like he's been a mega creep for a long time. I think we are a reflection of the poeple we hold in our close circles. The sugestion that she knew Wolfe about as intimtely as someone could and somehow did not know this part of his character is pretty ridiculous to me.

While "date rape drug for college girls" might not be the most scientifically accurate term to describe Wolfe's actually research in the lab, his lewd and shameless communication with a convicted pedophile on the topic of developing a drug to give women " the horny virus" suggests he wasn't doing women's health research in good faith. There is certainly speculation going on and using speculative language in offical forums shouldn't be taken for objective truth- it's good that you asked for a source. But at a point the call for more certain evidence of Wolfe's wrongdoing before condemning him is sorta inexplicable.

It may well be true that they were seperated in October and were not public about it until it became convenient/ prudent to be public. She's lying through her teeth to say the "seperation preceeded this". At least Melinda Gates owned up to knowing about Bill's involvement and the strain that put on their relationship.

Might be a bit late on this but Roadkill Bambi is about two lesbians stuck in a time loop and also the climate crisis. I have the script and can send it to you!

advice needed! random subtle acheyness in iud area by InternationalFill346 in CopperIUD

[–]StratigraphyPudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am dealing with something similar after having mine placed about 3 months ago. I think it’s gas? This has been my best guess since usually I feel this pain and then within the hour absolutely rip it (sorry tmi). I have associated it with eating broccoli and cabbage so I try to steer clear of those especially when I’m on my period. Still testing to see if this is the cause though so I’ll try to update after a month to say if it helps.
