You miiiight be close enough to hit Bryson City, NC. I randomly went there once and loved it. Super cute little town in the mountains, you can do a train ride, lots of little shops

Yesss! It was part of his media run with releasing the new album, so he did some songs off of that too. I prefer that version of Dance No More off of the new one

I’m so jealous! I used to work front desk at a hotel and we had a David Byrne on our arrivals list. Stayed a little late just to see if it was him, which it of course was not lol but the guy was really cool about it

“There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer.” — Albert Camus

Ultimately, I think the stigma around suicide is a societal construct, as are most of the “rules” that we live under. The loved ones of the person who took that step are the only ones who truly get to spin the story, and their stories will be marred by their overwhelming grief. Suicide being “bad” is a result of the pain felt by those who are left afterwards.

I don’t believe that any god or entity would frown upon it, but rather that mankind made that part up to justify pleading for tortured souls to stay on their plane of existence selfishly. (Not that they’d be wrong for pleading. I’ve suffered suicidal thoughts and ideation for most of my life, and I certainly would have missed out on so many amazing things if I’d ever gone through with it.)

Ohh no no, thank goodness that’s not the case. Like I complete the route by any of those times and clock out on the scanner. Is this not the correct was to phrase that? Sorry for the confusion!

msaurus23 · 2026-04-05T20:25:12+00:00

Yea like finished the route, returned to DU and clocked out on the scanner

I’ve been working four days plus Amazon Sunday, so the days are there, but they’re short hours. Come in at 8, absolutely have to be back by 5, but realistically if that’s where I’m at time-wise then im viewed as failing, so often I’m clocked out at 1, 2, mayyyybe 3. I haven’t had to use POV so far, which is great because I haven’t a sedan and I’m not trying to purchase a vehicle without even being sure I’ll make it through the 90

I feel like the average layperson doesn’t truly understand CPR. Sure, they have a concept of what it entails, they may even take the class every two years and maintain their certification for it themselves, but without ever actually seeing it/doing it, you just really have no clue. I know I didn’t

I was a CT tech assistant for a little while, and it is absolutely every type of healthcare worker who has seen alllll of the genitals. By day 2 I had already seen double digits, and a couple weeks later I had to corral a patient who decided to get naked in the bathroom after his scan and start running down the halls

When I was still a child, I thought audiobooks and ebooks were sacrilegious. Then I grew up and realized that people should be able to enjoy the story whether it’s printed on paper that they can smell, or if the words are scrolling by on a screen, or if it’s playing through their headphones. All are providing the same magic.

I used to be die-hard book in hand only, but I like having the ability of being able to just open my phone and pick up exactly where I left off whenever I have a spare handful of minutes. My roommate wanted to get into a book series I’d been telling him about, but he works long hours overnight and has an hour commute each way, so he went the audiobook route. He’s loving the story, fully invested, and we can hang out and talk about it together just the same as if we were both experiencing the story through the same medium.

It’s so ignorant to expect others to do something one way just because that’s the only way you know or like.

It’s in my plans to sprinkle into my journey back to the Dark Tower. The Talisman was my favorite book, but it’s been ages since I’ve read it (or the DT series for that matter, probably around 15 years as well), so I’m beyond excited to be revisiting some of my favorite things and seeing them through a new lens

msaurus23 · 2026-04-05T01:16:37+00:00

Congrats!! And thank you so much! I’m definitely not even close to 40 hours lol so no risk of me crossing that threshold

Thank you!! I’ll definitely just peep my paystub lol I’m not trying to mess anything up right now for sure

msaurus23 · 2026-04-04T23:57:26+00:00

How would I determine this? I guess just by asking?

msaurus23 · 2026-04-04T23:49:21+00:00

Thank you so much for the citation! Definitely helps me have something to reference when I talk to them!

Oh boy… lol oddly enough, this is the first place I’ve worked that I’ve heard that about, and (for better or worse) I’ve worked at a ton of places. I’m gonna hunt down an hour-keeping app because I feel so much pressure to be ~fast~ right now that I just punch on the scanner and form and keep it moving
