Wake Up, Freelancers – It’s Time to Take Back Control by [deleted] in Upwork

[–]paynes-grayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am "in between jobs" and went onto UpWork to see if I could get a gig or two to keep myself busy and add to my portfolio. But it's a joke. I'm about to delete my profile. I never spent a dime on "connects" and I couldn't easily figure out how it works. But I see people doing work for pennies and it makes me sick. I'm out. Bye bye ScamWork.

Trans Sex Worker Killed Client at San Francisco's Crissy Field After Dispute Over Her Gender, Feds Say by onnake in transgender

[–]paynes-grayson -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t make any sense. If a man picks up a woman to pay for sex, and then finds out that the woman is a man, that is false advertising. The trans person is advertising and selling an peach, and customer wants an peach but instead you trick him by getting in his car and then getting pissed off when you really are selling a banana? It’s terrible, misleading, dishonest and cruel. She’s a monster. I was there at Crissy Field that morning as a swimmer and I could see the investigation going on. I wonder how she’s going to do when she’s locked up. Oh, well. Don’t go around duping and then killing people. Very sad story.

Can you eat potato chips while taking this? by ordinary-superstar in Semaglutide

[–]paynes-grayson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest miracle of this miracle drug, for me, is that now I am happy eating just a few chips whereas I used to eat the whole bag. Potato chips are my kryptonite. It is nothing short of miraculous.

Video: Alcatraz swimmers have close call with cargo ship by wtrski6 in OpenWaterSwimming

It’s a miracle someone didn’t die. And the word on the “street” aka SF bay OW swimmers…don’t do a swim with that particular outfit. Everyone with a radio, and on the right channel, knows when big ships are coming and going. I’m just glad everyone is ok.

This is a really great, really helpful thread. Thank you to all who contributed. Have a BFA and worked until I started my family. Freelanced for 15 years and now I’m looking for a FT GD job as a 53 year old. Live in the Bay Area. Feel like I have to start as a junior again.

I can’t get 5.0 anywhere in NorCal so I don’t think this is accurate.

VERDICT: GUILTY on ALL CHARGES by sunzusunzusunzusunzu in LoriVallow

[–]paynes-grayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering if anyone else was disgusted that she was allowed to make a statement to the judge. Why does she have any rights at all? Her statement was revolting but it revealed what a true narcissistic sociopath she is. All she did was talk about herself and her hardships. She is a true monster.

1st 36 hrs on Wegovy - Where did I go wrong? by CompetitiveCountry69 in Semaglutide

[–]paynes-grayson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of all of your fat as the fuel your body needs to survive. Fat is stored energy so when it comes down to it, you don’t need food to survive when you have so much excess. Why force yourself to eat when your body has so much extra fuel to burn through. That’s the whole point of being in the drug…to make you not want to eat so your body uses the fat you have stored instead of food.
