How do I stop a 'planned future' from blindly determining my life's path?
  • Adopting kids ain't easy. People always say "you could just adopt" but they don't realize just how much expense is involved. It could easily cost $50k.

    How do I stop a 'planned future' from blindly determining my life's path?
  • This happened to me. I got a PhD and expected to be able to get a tenure track job in academia. Sure, it's hard. But it wouldn't be me that failed at it, right? Wrong. Three years later, no job, scraping by on adjunct work.

    I went back to law school. Sometimes you have to redefine your life in a way that gives you new opportunities. Does it still hurt that I couldn't get my dream job? Yeah, but I have a lot of good I can do for the world in other ways, and I'm not going to let that dream's death prevent me from doing it.

    how much pain can you bear?
  • You have to completely replace the root of the tooth in a root canal. It'd make more sense just to pull the tooth if you were doing it yourself.

    United Flight Attendants Vote 99.99% to Authorize Strike
  • As someone who has been burned by their dumbass "hide the baggage fee and charge $25 less than your competitors" strategy, fuck United. I filter them out whenever I'm looking for flights.

    The Supreme Court decides not to disenfranchise thousands of swing state voters
  • The idea that Arizona would have"federal only" voters because they refuse to just let people vote for state races according to federal rules is so fucking stupid. Talk about creating a bureaucratic mess for no gain to the citizenry!

    You should be able to see your reflection in it!
  • It's heavy and shitty at cooking almost anything that isn't meat. I've used well-maintained 20 year old cast irons. Eggs stick. Tofu sticks. It cooks vegetables no better than a nonstick or a stainless. Completely overrated.

    It seems ok so far.
  • I listened to Infowars for fun for years. Surely it's possible to listen to something and not start believing it. Maybe you're right in general though.

    Kamala Harris' running mate choice narrows to Tim Walz, Josh Shapiro, sources say
  • So your objection is with fans of the podcast legitimately calling Warren a snake for withholding her endorsement until after Biden had solidified the Dems against the left? I can't agree with that; it was a fuckup on her part and if she was a real left wing politician she would be have thrown her support behind someone who actually believes in what she says she stands for, rather than waiting until the moderates in the party had a fait accompli. I've never forgiven her for that.

    finally some peace...for now
  • This kind of repeating music in places of business should be illegal. It's absolute torture for employees and nobody seems to give a shit about it. There are still songs from my time working at Ruby Tuesday that are burned into my brain and send me into a rage to this day.
