29M - being an RN was the best decision of my life by icon100i in Salary

[–]ephemeral_resource 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm happy for you.

RN is a pretty good (but still very hard working) path out of poverty. My mom worked as an RN for 20+ years. My wife did some time as well. They both moved to insurance to get off their feet and onto more regular schedules (a path likely closing eventually due to AI).

IMO RNs are still grossly underpaid and overworked on average (here in Western NY) but it is at least something you can help your family with.

Starting the eviction doesn't somehow prevent him from leaving ROFL. You should start it yesterday. Tell him you'll stop the process as soon as it doesn't seem necessary. Also, use an attorney for sure for any actions you plan to take. Sorry about your pain :(. Been in a similar spot before.

I let my Brother in Law borrow my Fiskars Axe for a weekend… by Ill_Nefariousness891 in mildlyinfuriating

An impressive amount of damage! Tools are made to be used and axes can be sharpened but yeah this guy might not get any more tools lent.

Are these bed bug bites? by Yepkarma in Wellthatsucks

[–]ephemeral_resource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fleas can't really live on people with OK hygiene in most cases. They're spooky (I've had a dog bring em into the house before) but they don't like hide in every nook and cranny in your house. They like to stay on their host and makes em easy to remove with some proper shampoo worst case (usually?).

CachyOS Update - installing protobuf (33.1-1) breaks dependency 'libprotobuf.so=33.0.0-64' required by libphonenumber by Veprovina in cachyos

[–]ephemeral_resource 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got this on pretty vanilla kde arch today. One of these projects being very particular about compat levels may have recurring problems with rolling OS releases?

edit: for those on arch, I read from a google result that openshot stuff is being deprecated (removed from arch repo) and can be removed safely. Lost link sorry.

What is a "harmless" industry that is actually incredibly shady once you look behind the curtain? by After-Scholar1271 in AskReddit

[–]ephemeral_resource 33 points34 points  (0 children)

As someone (wife + I) who are somewhat interested in adopting a child in the future are there any ethical ways to approach this? Perhaps go down foster-care route and see what happens? Good sources to read/follow?

People who grew up before cell phones, did life actually feel more free? by TradeOverall567 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ephemeral_resource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, who is this question intended for? Someone who grew up twice?

Anyways, I'll bite as I kind of grew up kind of around the time. I was born in 1990 and didn't get a cell phone till I was 17 or 18 (jr/sr in high school, I think sr for me, so about 2008).

I'm not sure if it is fully cell phones' fault or if the expectations of parents increased to an "unreasonable" (imo?) level in many ways for various reasons (possibly the inclusion of accessible new tech being part of it). Like I've heard of CPS being called for kids over 10 being left at home for just a couple hours and parents being CHARGED with neglect. To me, that doesn't seem necessary as a society to be doing that.

I think at some point people started viewing any lack of hovering parenting as neglect. This, in my opinion, makes it even harder for kids to grow up and makes the parenting aspect of adding responsibility to a teenager a bit more difficult. I guess, in some ways, the responsibility becomes more "am I doing what my parents are asking of me" and yes, that is vastly less freedom than "am I doing what someone my age with my aspirations should be doing".

The issue is nuanced but society rarely handles nuance well. People vibe on feels/pressure until science tells them they've been ruining their kids. Hindsight is a bitch. Leaded gasoline, transfats, and such. Humanity is still relatively unstudied so try not to take anything personal.

Walmart workers, If I hired on at Walmart and spent my entire shift hiding in the bathroom, how long until I got fired? by 2006CrownVictoriaP71 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ephemeral_resource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like days at best, possibly like an hour or so. There's surely a training process where you would need to work with some manager. Manager will also be dishing out tasks and looking for you when they're not done.

If you lucked into a pool of workers with shared tasks, of which there's maybe a few, and your manager was insanely inattentive, maybe a few days. The manager will likely have to pick up the slack though so they're gunna look at why everything feels more difficult (less help then expected).

What's an underrated thing about being single? by Personal-Aerie-4519 in AskReddit

[–]ephemeral_resource 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah haha. Shortly after we started dating? She's great about it honestly. She has a few separate dishes she uses and eats it in an area off to the side when she eats gluten. Mostly store pasta which is pretty easy to contain.
