Mean Girls, the 2004 one.

I live in a state with recreational marijuana, but my current employer’s policies specifically prohibit even medical marijuana, and I had to do a pre-employment drug test. Looking for a better job, but I’ve exhausted unemployment and all my savings, so it pays the bills for now.

Would it be their preferred name or legal name? What about people who go by different names in different contexts? For example, William at work, but Bill with friends & family? Or stage names? Or professional titles?

It’s an epilator. Basically, a bunch of tweezers on a spinning thing to yoink out your hair.

The first time I ever gambled, I put $20 into a slot machine, a few minutes later I was up to $60, and another few minutes down to $0. So, I don’t know if you’d consider that losing $20 or $60, but that’s the most I ever lost in a day.

I’ve come to the conclusion that speech to text has played a significant role in the disappearance of commas. When things are written via speech to text, it almost never had any commas unless they say “comma”, and almost no one ever does. From there, I guess people just get used to not seeing commas, and even when they’re typing, commas don’t cross their mind.

It’s a pretty big pet peeve of mine, and I find it super frustrating to text with people who frequently used speech to text.

I think it depends on the beach. If it’s somewhere with lots of other people, somewhere super accessible, then I kinda expect it. But if it’s a less populated beach, maybe one that’s more difficult to get to, I probably chose it in hopes of listening to nature.

I think that’s Swiff_er_?

Thanks to some unexpected health issues, I drained the savings, and am now borrowing from family. Hooray.

I’m not in tech, but the last time I was unemployed, I was able to reach out to a few temp/staffing agencies and at least had something to keep me afloat pretty quickly. This time around, I’ve only received a response from a single temp agency. They’ve sent me on a few interviews over the past month, but still no actual job offer yet.

Yup. I hope you find something soon!

18 months here. Initially, I figured I’d enjoy a few months off thanks to severance + unemployment, but then, when it was about time to get serious about finding work again, I was diagnosed with cancer. I’m in remission now, but my savings is completely gone and I’m borrowing money from family. A tent is definitely growing more appealing.

Yeah, that (lack of) friction makes a huge difference though, and is the only reason I wish I had a thigh gap. I do find that the more athletic/activewear fabrics tend to hold up longer, while the “buttery”/loungewear fabrics wear out faster.

Do your thighs rub together when you walk? The reason basically every pair of pants I’ve ever owned got tossed was because they eventually get holes in the inner thighs. I always wash almost all of my clothes cold/gentle & air dry.

#DIV/0! I was laid off and haven’t been able to find another job yet, so salary is zero, but basic needs still exist and cost money.

Yeah, they require (a very reasonable number of) job hunting activities, and also you also have to fill out a form every week to actually collect the payment.

Also on Graphene. I’m unemployed and dealing with a semi recent health diagnosis, so I definitely get calls from numbers that I haven’t saved. I just let them go to voicemail, and if they’re not spam, I save the number and call them back.

At least where I live, collecting unemployment requires doing tasks that I consider “working”.

I haven’t caught mine trying to eat/drink the coffee, but he loves to rub his face inside my mug, and after a big spill the other day, he was rubbing all over that area of the floor.

How are we quantifying “most turds”? Would a single bowel movement count as multiple turds if they came out as separate pieces? Is there a minimum mass or volume to count as a single turd? What about bowel movements that are not solid?
