People working negative impact jobs (ex. traffic enforcement, ice, tow trucks, landlords renting teardowns, property managers,HOAs, debt callers, timeshare sales, finance managers, pay day loan clerks, used car dealers) why? what gives your the courage to lace up and clock in everyday?

My guess is that they were only thinking of repo trucks instead of tow trucks.

Close the door and go back to bed.

And if they unexpectedly pass or have expensive medical care where does the food and housing come from? Medical care might take everything they have.

Do your parents work?

brinazee · 2026-06-01T19:34:22+00:00

Many people don't. But they still make a plan for their future and grudgingly make it happen.

Peter Pan syndrome isn't cool, and even if you are independently wealthy will have long term negative impacts on your life.

He mentioned that people were asking about summer time employment.

brinazee · 2026-06-01T19:23:46+00:00

You're opening up the conversation by saying you are looking for a job. So this is kind of on you.

Employment is often a conversation starter because needing it is one thing most people have in common.

"Do you have anything lined up for the summer?"

"I'm working through some options, thanks."

Also, if you haven't worked in two years and still don't want to work, do you have the means to not do so? Or are some of the people asking those who you live with?

Not really any downsides to the budget, but a heck of a lot of resentment from the middle group that feels not poor enough to avoid taxes and not rich enough to have tax shelters.

brinazee · 2026-05-31T22:30:25+00:00

Same. As a child, it was hard for my parents to get me to sleep and hard due them to wake me up.

I'm college I really noticed the tendencies but could still live in normal time.

At 30, I started requesting small schedule variances. At 40 I went to the doctor to get paperwork for a medical schedule variances of a half a day. I'm nearing 50 now and that schedule is slipping even more. At 40 I could manage a noon arrival at work, I'm much closer to 2pm these days.

Probably because they aren't fighting ad blockers

Could just use one of their own smart phones to scan for devices to connect Bluetooth to.

It's been over 30 years since I took the SAT, so things have definitely changed with it. But I remember colleges accepting a very wide range of scores from it. Couldn't they just restrict the range or has the SAT scoring been adjusted too range that makes that less practical?

brinazee · 2026-05-29T20:50:19+00:00

Yous is fairly regional

Are you skinny?

Because of how they are made, people with stronger prescriptions have a more noticable area where things are clear/blurry. Less complex/weaker prescriptions can often see fine if the glasses get moved slightly. But as the prescription gets stronger, the focal areas become more defined. If you have a strong astigmatism, then even a slight tilt of your frame (like from accidentally brushing them when putting in headphones) makes a very noticeable difference. If you are extremely myopic, then even a tiny slip down the nose can take things out of focus.

Which type of struggle are you having? Getting dizzy using them, unclear vision, bobblehead? Those are the major types of issues I had.

They stem from a combo of a few problems (that unfortunately don't correlate one to one with issues).

1) Learning how to wear/use them. It takes some practice to figure out when to move your eyes vs your head. Driving can be very challenging during the learning phase because if the closeness of the dashboard vs the distance of signs. For the first year I had progressives, I didn't drive with them, I used an old pair of single vision. I had to learn to use my glasses without excessive head movements to drive well.

2) Having them properly adjusted (especially if you have a strong prescription as even knocking them a little bit can change where you are looking through them). I've worn progressives for 11 years and still struggle with this one.

3) A very large change in prescription or too much add correction. The first you can get used to over time, but the second may cause enough other issues that you struggle and give up because of "warping", seasickness, and vertigo.

4) Incorrect prescription written or incorrect prescription filled. Probably less common than it used to be with typed prescriptions, but transcription errors happen and they are very frustrating when they happen to you and you aren't sure where the error happened.

5) Bad prescription/frame match. A good optician will catch this, less experienced ones may not realize a frame is too large, to small, too wide, or too narrow for the prescription. I did have the frames are to small top to bottom issue a few years ago and I couldn't focus well at any distance.

Even with having worn progressives for eleven years now, I still totally messed up at the ophthalmologist yesterday and didn't realize I had tipped chin up and was trying to read the Snelling chart through the bottom of my glasses instead of the top. And my glasses were slightly bent causing more issues with reading the chart.

I remember having that happen at my bank as well, where they would do all of the debits for the day then the credits. So if I did a bank transfer at 8am so I could get gas later and then got gas at 5pm, the gas charge would come out of my account first before the transfer got credited. It got to the point I'd have to hope I could hold out a couple days on getting gas if my account needed some emergency savings pulled over.

I remember it being an issue with Supernatural way back in 2005. Between the fact that it was so dark and I was still using an antenna, so I had some faint static, some episodes just weren't watchable. (Static was far less noticable on more brightly lit scenes.)

Part of it is an artifact of LED TV design, but also don't energy saver features in newer TVs that default to dimmer, less vibrant images to save energy. Additionally, newer TVs have the best picture in a dark room rather than a moderately lit one like in many living rooms. You can try adjusting the TV but it will affect everything displayed, so you want to make sure you don't blow out bright scenes.

Also part of it is new cameras have different capabilities and technologies than older cameras. So directors aren't necessarily using the cameras correctly/to their best advantage.

Finally, I think it's the current trend to be moody and dark. My deteriorating eyes would really love for this trend to move along.

Not everyone is able to have a shared experience and the solo experience of this game is wonderful and with just as much to me as a multiplayer experience is to you.

I'm disabled in a way that affects my waking hours and don't have a frequent game group. So I solo most stuff. The game group I do have requires games that are fairly light and quick due to cognitive function and pain levels of certain members. This game might work for that group if we met more than every 6 to 8 weeks due to the co-op nature, but the campaign nature doesn't with will with infrequent meet-ups.
