And you should really not tie your self-worth to something as far out of your control as income! It’s setting yourself up for disaster if lose your job, and imo it’s really insulting to people who earn less money but are just as valuable as human beings and members of society.

Ok so I knew that current Indiana University head coach Curt Cignetti was the former coach at Division II Indiana University of Pennsylvania, but did not realize until today that his brother Frank Jr. is the current offensive coordinator at Indiana (PA)

Keep in mind that most journalists are not national political reporters for huge outlets. Most journalists are earning modest salaries trying to do an essential societal function under the constant threat of layoffs and an increasingly hostile government because they believe in telling the truth.

I am sorry that seemingly every type of food or beverage makes you shit your pants, but it’s really weird when you imply that other people are going to shit their pants at the mere sight of a cup of coffee or slice of pizza.

Yeah that’s my impression as well. Seems to be based on some reaaaallly loose cultural stereotypes, and not a particularly good understanding of those either.

I’m tired of people with GI issues projecting their problems onto the rest of us.

I think this is her way of saying “exciting” but she has made “butterflies” sound a lot like stomach flu

What do Ohio, Iowa, and Idaho even have in common besides similar-sounding names?

Probably but that’s such a lazy cultural stereotype of Texas, which again is incredibly diverse and has many large cities

Ah yeah that makes sense, California and New York tend to have more labor protections than other states. It became clear through more comments (not pictured) that often there is a legitimate job opening but no manager present to do the interview because it just doesn’t communicate I guess.

Texas is one of the most diverse and populous states in the country and like a third of it is a humid subtropical climate. What on earth does it have in common with Western Australia?

@atbashhang Bro I used to work at Auntie Anne's and the amount of people I had to turn away because the Al chatbot did the same thing and gave them an interview time when we weren't supposed to take any made me feel bad every time

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month
