Stay vigilant

If you're pounding one out that won't really save you. He probably games with headphones and just doesn't want to get jump scares by mom.

I always had a desk and a bed and I made a point to never have my back towards the door when I was at my desk for the above reason.

What shortage

I run warehouse/fulfillment ops for an ecomm business and frequently hire temps (task rabbit, instawork, etc)

People literally won't show up for less than $20/hr even for basic shit like kitting, we have to start at $25 just to get people in the door. My boss sees the bill and asks why we don't find some younger workers for $15 but they just don't exist in our area. People want to work, just not for shit wages.

Home on the range

Baristas can get crazy connections lol. My friend had a wedding venue cancel and keep their deposit at the start of covid. Tons of arguments and calls and threats. His (now) wife is a barista and had a regular that was a lawyer, she mentioned it to him and sued the venue for their money back and more, pro bono didn't charge them anything 👌

Colbert Rips New Speaker’s Pathetic Maine Shooting Response

Hey I'm not super into politics, but maybe we should look into banning guns ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If you need one for hunting or varmint control there can be a special license for that but you gotta admit we got a little problem with guns in America.

I have guns but if the day comes where they're banned fuck it I'll turn em in if that helps us move past daily mass shootings.

Lightning bugs

They like to live in piles of dead leaves. Between suburban neighborhoods having landscapers haul away yard waste and using pesticides to keep those lawns perfect, they have nowhere to live.

If you go to rural areas they're still around.

What if public libraries...

I miss that about college, 24 hour library filled with people. You have to be quiet on the main floors but upstairs was less strict.

The routine of get a coffee, study for a while, go pee and step outside with some friends for a smoke, and grab another coffee on the way in. Rinse and repeat until the sun comes up.

Supportive boyfriend

Reply in thread

Keep working on it, it takes so much effort on my part to be like "man that really sucks" or "wow that sounds really frustrating" for the most part my SO knows the solution and just wants to be heard.

I've overheard her talking to her mom on the phone how supportive I am and how good of a listener I am. This is the first relationship I've managed to do these things and we're getting married in 4 weeks :)
