Yes, this is exactly how I would define it.
I also don’t think it imparts a general pro/anti integration with locals (not to say some assholes aren’t out there).
If I was thinking of immigrating elsewhere, I’d want to be near a few other people from my country who’ve been there longer than me, if only to make the transition easier and to get help with any issues specific to people from the same place.
Don’t forget that if we pull funding from Ukraine, the proxy war with Russia will potentially morph into the most peaceful war between Russia and our allies.
The fact that the person representing the choice to act is also giving a WTF, dude face is hilarious.
Yep. From a systems analyst perspective, if there’s a problem with a couple people, it’s because they’re idiots. If a lot of people are having a problem, it’s a systems issue. In this case, the DNC and their shit messaging.
It’s like they hired an intern to do their marketing. They had a few funny clap backs on socials but they didn’t actually pivot to appeal to their target demographics. Fucking marketing 101.
Is she a ghost?
“Hi honey, how was your day?”
“Terrible. I accidentally became a falconer and you know how hard I’ve been trying to avoid falconry recently. I thought I was safe.”
If you white knuckle past the point of burnout, you eventually start getting out of bed again to do hobbies. But only hobbies that feel useful and needed, and only if done feverishly so your brain can’t dwell on feeling burnt out and all the fun is gone. Dunno, maybe it’s just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Disclaimer: It doesn’t go so well for people who wish to remain employed :/
Yeah, it’s the pressure of needing tasks completed immediately and the obvious importance/need to remove the stress-causing thing.
It’s a perfect recipe for hyperfocus and also why I can’t set my own deadlines–because I know it’s all wibbly wobbly when there isn’t a hard deadline from an external source. I’d be rich if I had a dollar for every time I wished someone would just tell me when something is needed instead of asking me to give an estimate.
If the task feels like boring busy work or bullshit and no one told me otherwise, you’ve got fuckall chance it’s getting done.
Didn’t get converted to a permanent position after a whole year. The only negative feedback (among great remarks) I had was:
Does anyone want to guess my diagnosis? Lol
The maddening thing is that I didn’t get any follow-up after those halfway comments until the surprising notification that my position would be expiring. If I had, I would have pursued accommodations. I thought I had been making progress in improving those things :/
I know that sleeping on your left side is best for heartburn due to the way our stomachs are oriented.
Not sure about other reasons. I like side sleeping with a pillow between my legs for my shitty back pain, but maybe that’s just me.
And I’m going to add something that helps me talk to my therapist: “If it’s mentionable, it’s manageable.”
After you’ve tried to deal with something yourself and haven’t succeeded, telling someone about what’s going on, no matter how unimportant or embarrassing it feels, is the first step to living a life of contentment.
The most righteous tithing.
You’re right about the leather processing. I didn’t consider that.
I heard there’s a new mushroom-based leather alternative that will hopefully get traction.
I’ll say many cities have a club that rents out supplies or even has club hives you can use to get started. Also, I don’t live in a huge city and I’ve seen used hives and frames for sale more than I thought I would, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for those as well.
Here’s my weird question: if faux leather is plastic and someone is vegan for environmental reasons, would leather be preferable? What if it’s a byproduct and would otherwise be trashed? These are things I think about as someone who tries to reduce my impact on the environment as much as I feasibly can in a capitalist society.
I feel so kindred with the way you see things. You’re making an observation and you’re curious about the “why” of everything. I feel people often read my similar interest in a subculture as critical. Kind of like how bluntness can be perceived as rude, I guess. Do you ever have a similar response happen to you?
Not just vomit but a snowball train of vomit.
Beekeeping family here: who the fuck clips bee wings?
I’m from “you guys” but I’ve lived in “y’all” and now I’m forever team “y’all,” regardless of where I’m living.
It’s the best export from the south, except maybe Texas brisket and pecan pie.
