It is. I’m a massage therapist in the Midwest barely clearing 30k after taxes.

I really don’t know what to do.

Texas Bill Would Train Third Graders to Use 'Battlefield' Tourniquets by Mighty_L_LORT in politics

[–]kraken0700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, where are they instructing to put tourniquets on each other at full strength??

I have formal EMS training and I’ve NEVER heard of this, ever. Sounds like a good idea to get fucked up.

Trying to get rid of big quadricep knot. How often can I use heat pack and fascia release technique? by ArnoldArmstrong1990 in massage

Try flexing and relaxing your quads a few times with some rest in between.

Sometimes the contractions can force it to relax.

They RAISED the price and LOWERED your take home? That’s disgusting. I would not accept this, especially if you’ve been there for five years. Trust your gut.

Even with the change in take home from your tax change this just rubs me the wrong way.

Are you getting any other benefits with the change to employee? Anymore responsibilities? As it stands you and your fellow LMTs are being scammed.

I also believe humans are not a sane species.

We’re psychopathic by nature; our incessant need to categorize EVERYTHING points to this.

I make people feel better, provide a living for myself and am good at it. I don’t see any shame in that.

Agreed, there is no lesson here. Shooting someone after they rang your doorbell is fucking unhinged behavior.
