Those of you who have a gift or a passion that doesn’t pay enough to be financially independent and have a job to pay the bills, what does it look like?
If it's a job that affords you the ability to still be able to enjoy the things you want to do, then it's definitely not a wasted life. The worthiness of life isn't defined by the way we earn money.
That being said, if you're looking for other jobs that are maybe less taxing so that you can have more time to enjoy your life, and if you can afford it, you could go do something easier for sure. (I certainly wouldn't classify fighting as an 'easy' job). The security guys at my work get to do whatever basically for 10 of the 12 hrs they work, one guy is writing a book, the other guy learned different languages. You could try something like that? And then if you have energy after you can go to open mics or something to get your musical talent out in the world without feeling stressed about needing to make money off it.

Omg I'm glad to hear it's not just my weirdo cat that runs to a very specific spot for very hard pets. She will literally run to the door to greet me and then run away as I approach to climb up to her petting spot. Cats be fuckin weird man.

There are earphones that do sit like this though. Shoks, for one, but I'm sure there's other brands that do the same.

I'm so glad I work in a scent-free building honestly. Does it sometimes smell like my boss's running shoes? Sure a little, but I never spend the entire day coughing and with a headache from some asshole's cologne.

One of my bucket list things is to try a food item, listen to an album and read a book from every country in the world. Any recommendations?

I read the first blurb and thought 'meh I don't know if I'd be into that' then I saw the picture. I will give the man a shot.

I saw one yesterday where the person didn't use a pillow case and the spots on their pillow and bed where they presumably lay were browned. Is that normal?

The wax is also not even compostable so idk what they're getting at with any pretense of environmentalism.

Best way to describe your relationship with workers at the cafe/diner/whatever you're a regular at?

As someone who was a server and in customer service for 10+ years, there's definitely people that can become friends. There are also people who are purely customers whose name I remember and who I think of fondly at times. Those relationships can make a big difference in people's lives sometimes, even if for others (like in this comment section), service people are barely human...

Wax wrappers are not compostable. They're also made with a petroleum mix. These are not ecofriendly.

One Shop
So the cartels, who profit directly from the high demand of drugs by Americans, were given weapons, by Americans, to meet that demand of drugs. They then essentially hijacked the mexican government with those guns and violence in order to keep their drug supply available to Americans, meanwhile destroying hope for peaceful life for many many towns and people in mexico. But it's the Mexicans trying to escape those problems, once again created by demand in the US, who are the problem?
How very fucking American.
You know who doesn't have a fentanyl problem? Mexico. They're not the ones creating demand.
I'm simplifying, I know, but I'm very fucking tired of Mexicans and South Americans being blamed as if the US hadn't fucked the entire country and almost the entire South American continent over for the last 50 years.
I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here but fuck man I'm just tired.

Trump sends innocent man to El Salvador for having autism awareness tattoo
I think something this article missed is that the autism awareness tattoo, while looking absolutely nothing like a gang tattoo, does very much look like a pride tattoo, and we know these people are not only targeting immigrants (or people who look like immigrants) but also trans and the LGBTQ+ community at large.

You're welcome
Honestly they clean those seats after every patient anyway so I think the paper is just there because of lobbying from Big Paper.

Is my supervisor an AI bot?
Reply in thread
The fact that OP is questioning it is equal parts hilarious and sad because how did we get to the stage in the world where we run into a good supervisor and they're legitimately too good to be true.
