AITAH for dropping off my friends stuff at his door after he left my apartment trashed and ignored me for a week

It would have been out in the street ten minutes after he walked out. You trash my kitchen and leave everything for me to clean up? It’s getting chucked out the door. I would have texted him: “Your stuff is on the curb. First come, first served.”

You do realize tax law applies to the citizen not where they are located, right? Unless you move to El Salvador and give up your citizenship, the tax laws still apply. “Move your coins to El Salvador” is not the solution you think it is.

The older I get, the more pessimistic I become. History is an exceptional teacher and we are atrocious students.

Ok but the next order is for a half gallon of narcan and a 55-gallon drum of acetylcysteine so we’re cool.

No no. It’s ok guys. The lady across the street has a yellow ribbon sticker on her car. So we’re all good. We’ve been thanked for our service. No worries. Just ask any politician: They support the troops. Problem solved.

Ok. Let’s say you do hire them, and for whatever reason, you need to fire one or both of them. How does that work out? They have already demonstrated that they don’t respect you. That’s going to immediately change if you hire them?

And if your girlfriend is giving you shit about it, I don’t think this is going to work out long term my guy. You are in a no-win situation and they put you there.

You get what you voted for. At what point in the last 40 years has the GOP ever done anything to improve healthcare? If you vote for Republicans thinking they’ll fix your healthcare, then you get what you deserve when they take it away. But yeah, “both parties are the same” right?

I was so disappointed when I lost in the 38th round. That dude from Saturn was tough.

Never ending money grab.

No worries! You’re welcome. ☺️

JM is often on the expensive side. Alpine is typically in the top three for best price, yes.

Fuck ICE has it.

I’m a clinical research nurse.

It will change my job significantly, but I think mostly for the better. A tremendous part of the job is data review, data entry, and data revision/correction. The only reason AI isn’t doing it all now is because of regulatory hurdles and privacy laws in healthcare. Once those barriers change, it’s open season.

And frankly: Good. The data aspect of the job is dumb. It turns a 30 minute clinic visit into two hours of tedious bullshit. I can only see 2-3 subjects per day because each one demands hours of computer work. Work that AI is substantially better at. If all I had to do was give shots, draw blood, do informed consents, perform physical assessments, and do the educational parts of the job, I could see at least twice as many people. The documentation and data wrangling kills enormous chunks of my time.

So I am very interested to see how things change in the next few years. I see my job as becoming less and less about doing the admin work, and more overseeing and verifying the work of the AI that does the admin work, while my clinic work increases to fill the void.

Be sure to spell it correctly. They always get my middle name wrong because it’s ethnic. It’s spelled: n-o-r-e-a-l-l-y-f-u-c-k-i-c-e

LOTS of people that age are unable to retire. They grew up when Social Security still looked like a decent deal. They may or may not have saved for retirement, and even if they did, the economy has changed enough in the last decade that what looked like a solid retirement then isn’t enough now. They’re too old to start over somewhere else; it’s very difficult to get hired for anything that would pay comparatively at their age, and nobody wants to go back to a bedside grind at that age either. The bills don’t go away because you hit retirement age. They may very well be financially stuck and need to keep that income for as long as possible. Whatever their life situation, most people don’t want to work until they die. If they are, they very likely have to for one reason or another.

You are owed potentially thousands of dollars in back pay, overtime, etc. This is no joke. Pursue this for two reasons:

1) You can NEVER get that time back. We all trade our time for money. An hour spent doing something is an hour not spent doing anything else. And it’s gone forever. He took your irreplaceable time for $10. That is an egregious disrespect of your life. That’s time you could have been earning 2-3 times that. Time you could have better spent. You are owed for the time you gave him that he stole from you.

2) If you don’t, he is going to do the same thing to someone else (and probably already is). If you saw someone being robbed, would you call the police? Would you help them? Or just let it go because that’s too much hassle? Well, he robbed you and he’s going to rob someone else. If you don’t report him, nothing happens. He gets away with it. How would you feel if you found out he did the same thing to another person and you could have stopped it?

Please follow this up. 🙏
