Eeeeh, it's still technically possible.

Sleeping earlier should help, if the issue is falling asleep earlier, consider light exercise a couple hours before trying to sleep. I'm personally not a big fan of medicated sleep assist, but some people may need it.

I used to be a very deep sleeper. The things that helped me wake up on time were making sure I was tired enough at the end of each day to sleep soundly, and getting up at the same time daily. I usually wake up a bit before my alarm goes off these days.

After soloing missions a couple days ago I hit up the discord for some lfg's, and of 3 people, two couldn't join me, one managed to join the other guy in my party after one time out. So I have no idea what the deal is.

The only issues I'm having are matchmaking issues. Probably something with my connection. I can join some people well enough, but not at all with others.

I always have a blast in the game.

Yup. Meanwhile I'm just over here wondering how they're going to completely ruin jet set radio rebooted.

Not yet, but I can do that later.

This isn't my usual tamagotchi chat room hosted on geocities. But I guess I manually typed it in a bit wrong. Maybe the wrong zone.

Sorry if any of that was insulting, it wasn't meant that way it's just that a relatively small regional business being as high on the list as it is quite an outlier. The international mega corporations should be able to use their resources to gain collective bargaining agreements for their employees benefit packages. job opportunities, etc. that should at the very least rival that of what a company making significantly less annually can manage.

Comparing the profit of In-N-Out in 2023 (545mil) to the profit of on the giants like Microsoft (72.7bil).. it just doesn't make sense that a company profiting that much more with 'only' 5x more workers can't even breach the top 10 of the listing. That's the dystopian part of this. At least Google was in the top 10, but the ratio there is even worse.

something something open communication, something something no block button, something something snowflake behavior

I don't think my early 20's radio host voice will be of much use to them.

The thing that shocked me is that a regional burger joint is out performing the worlds most influential, giant corporations that basically rule over nearly every aspect of our daily lives in many ways. The dystopia here is not that burger flipping shouldn't pay a living wage, it's that if you can get the benefits In-N-Out gives as a relatively small regional burger joint.. gosh those giant bloated corporations sure are dystopian.

Take a step back and realize it the other way around. A burger chain is the SECOND BEST EMPLOYER by study of 400 companies, likely including many of the fortune 500. The issue isn't that it's a burger place, that in and of itself really shows how dystopian how the rest of the pool is. It's not in spite of In-N-Out, it's In-N-Out showing what employment should mean. If a burger chain can do it.. why can't... everyone?

I pick up every call I'm aware of. Scammers, phishers, polls, and everything else. I love messing with people, and good luck with getting accurate poll results, I have a dice rolling app I use to answer the questions.

It's even on a schedule for me now. The 'TV company' scam calls around 5pm to try me out, polling places seem to be weekend exclusives, and rarely I'll get a noonish jingle from some other random organization.

About 40% of the scam calls automatically disconnect after 8 seconds, and the rest I get to play with.

I'll admit, I saw the numbers on the right side and assumed they were annual salary before actually waking up enough to read it.

I will hurl fire, brimstone, and feces at towns which do not believe in me! And then send them an uncharacteristically good natured tortoise to smooth things over from all the death and destruction that rained from the sky mere moments before.

My creature thinks I'm a benevolent god. Which means it must also think the world outside our domain is in a constant state of annihilation.

I'd have some sympathy if it weren't for how far you need to go to get a license suspended in the first place.

I get that there are some places where needing transportation is basically required to live.. Which is all the more reason not to fuck up bad enough to get that very means of travel suspended in the first place.

I see enough dangerous driving on a daily basis that it's practically second nature around these parts.. The less of the those on the streets the better.

Didn't stop any of the wacky bs in iRobot from happening. Cellphones do cure a lot of what ails older pics, but they can be waved away by things like 'oopsies! Forgot to charge it.' or 'the club is so loud I didn't hear the ringer.' and my personal favorite 'forgot to take it off dnd'.

Absolutely. Adding infamy to this, or looking into their lives at all beyond the investigation only spurs on anyone who is on the edge for ruining their lives in exactly the same way. But.. the media will always aim for the shocking headlines that get the views. Still. I'm with you.

I get that dude! That's why I left it very ambiguous on what the viewer might be paying for, simply that they would be more likely to spent after having seen the thing than not!

I played the stock market game in grade school and noticed this one stock, BRKHA that was moving thousands of dollars daily (and was occasionally dipping into the hundreds). Considering the others would only move a fraction of a dollar daily it was a goal to get one share for the game. I did and ended up winning.

I should have tried to pressure my parents into at least one share. By the time I was 18 it would have been worth 70k, and these days it's up to.. Nearly 700k per share.

I would've likely sold it on my 18th birthday and been able to languish a bit longer than I did. All in all it wouldn't have been worth doing.
