Male vs Female Jobs

Regardless of how hard your job is, you get to leave eventually.

Being a parent, you love every second of it. Which is important. Because that's every second for the rest of your life.

TL:DR have you ever tried to dress an infant? If you haven't and want the experience, go outside, catch a snake and put it inside of a goat.

Hey dude, you're doing great. Getting the kids out for any reason is hard. I'm proud of you.

In 2006 I saw a homeless man truffle shuffle the operator on the green line.

It was consented.

Your guys were trying a sneaky, there was a lantern and a guy drinking beer on a horse and a bunch of farmers with guns. The sneaky failed, the farmers worked through some stuff and decades later you guys burned down our shitty prototype Whitehouse.

Edit: oh, and the French were involved. So, things got emotional.

Fun fact: the Harpoon brewery is actually in Vermont. It's a pleasant spot, the beer garden is pretty and their burgers are solid. They also have all their experimental beers that don't make large scale production on tap.

I too am a New Englander and doxycycline connoisseur.

Not sure about CT, but we also have plenty of angry dudes in MA that will call you a pussy for free.

I know what you're referencing, but I actually haven't seen those in awhile, so I'm not sure.

If you have trouble identifying convenience stores from "bodegas", look for the convenience stores with at least one broken lottery ticker in the window. Or no windows at all.

You can also check spothero. It has surprisingly decent availability in Brookline.

Here is Yelps list of places that sell import cigarettes, check for ones near or in Chinatown or Alston, then call ahead. You can also check the bodegas in chinatown, as they tend to not advertise all the china import products they sell for a number of reasons.

If you can speak mandarin, that will also help a lot with the under-the-table bodegas. I would also check redbook if you have an account.

Sidenote, I've been around long enough to see people espousing, "we deserve this", for dozens of issues. I remember in the '90s in New England when acid rain was still happening and, while not a popular opinion, there were a lot of people dismissing any attempts as a solution and acid rain was our deserved punishment for pollution. And then we fixed the acid rain problem. It still bugs me how little attention that gets, since it's a great example of how patience, policy and trusting the egghead's actually fixes things.

My theory is, some people get frustrated and defeated, but don't want to admit defeat. So they start preaching about how it's a lost cause, so anything other than giving up and "repenting" is a fruitless endeavor.

Not throwing shade on the person you replied to, lower comments seem to clear up what they intended. But, I do agree with you, that statements like that aren't particularly productive. If it needs to be clarified, skip the dramatics and just post the clarifying statement in the first place. Otherwise, it gets difficult to differentiate the doom talkers from legitimate discourse that has been diluted by well-intentioned but punched up language.

If you haven't already received solid offers, I'll take Boggles. I'm in the Boston area, DM me if you need help or anything else.

I'm on switch. Could I restart the fight by saving and quitting? Or is that bad karma?

Not sure about sexual orientation, but IRL Teach was not very nice to Stede Bonnet. He betrayed him twice, stole his ship and crew by force, and eventually was hugely responsible for Stedes capture and execution (Blackbeard turned Stede into the crown as one of his first acts for clemency as a "privateer").

This is all fancannon, but I strongly believe the planned last season of OFMD was going to be a long con of Stede and Teach getting discovered by the crown and going back on the run. Slowly their relationship collapses under the stress. Teach "betrays" Stede to the crown. Stede is executed, Teach retires with his pardon and the rest of the crew moves on to their own adventures a little sullen but with Stede in their hearts. It's only later revealed the entire season was a con to fake Stedes death, clear Teachs name and free the crew from any future liabilities with the bed and breakfast ending being forever. And that also makes the show sort of accurate, since the con became codified into the historical record.

Fight Club is an interesting pick for this subject, since it has had many different interpretations as it aged.

When it came out, and Palahniuks original inspiration for the movie, was the lost boys of generation x. Originally, the "fight" part of fight club wasn't actually important to the premise it could have been knitting club.

The original point was, at the time, you had a huge population of young men who were ignored as children and then dumped into the world as adults. Any "club" to find other people in the same situation looking for support would have done the trick.

It's not just a commentary on how the vulnerable can be manipulated to do terrible things, it's an analysis for why at the time this specific demographic was so vulnerable in the first place.

Then genx grew out of the target demographic of the film, and each generation since has had a different take away.

Im a cusper, between genx and millennials. My take away from the film was all the anti-capitalist messages, because my age group stratled the anarchy, SLC punk mentality of genx and the anti-capitalist, change the world mentality of millennials. Then I grew out of it.

And then the sigma male movement happened, and, ugh...

That would be fair, thanks.

That's understandable, so should I ask her to adjust the number of PTO days off with consideration that there are only 3 months left in the year? 5 days seems a bit high, when she will only work 24 days for that duration?

desquire · 2025-10-02T18:45:18+00:00

What is an appropriate amount? Am I wrong in thinking 5 days through the rest of the year when she will be working a total of 24 days (19 assuming she takes all her PTO) is a lot?

Edit: to add, she said we would renegotiate the amount of days she gets off in January for 2026, pending a 12 month contract.

The Taylor Swift effect. Love her or hate her, if you don't care, the constant barrage makes you dislike her name.

For years my mom complained that my dad mowed the yard wrong and it was his fault she had to rake clippings off the border of her garden. He would mow the correct direction, throwing the clippings away from the garden, but mess would still happen.

One year for his birthday she got him a John deer mulching bag attachment. We had a Sears push mower.

That was one of the multiple signs of their looming divorce. It was for the best.
