Here in Colorado we have some idiots in at least one county who wants to secede from the state and become part of Wyoming. Personally, I would love that because those people have no idea what they're asking for. Wyoming is one of the strictest states when it comes to cannabis, which would become illegal again. You can't have it both ways where you keep your blue state protections and have your red state affiliation.
They wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Just send the world's largest military around their border. That's where it backfires for red states
America just doesn't have a culture where the older generations leave things better than they found it. Boomers are generally (but not always) selfish and entitled. They hoarde wealth and vote against anything that jeopardizes it because they feel they worked so hard for it. Even if that thing could positively impact their children or grandchildren. All while telling people working 2+ jobs just to afford food and housing that they're lazy.
If anything, the media has always catered to boomers and shit on millennials. A lot of millennials have boomer parents as well.
Autonomous driving vehicles. I've worked in software for over a decade and if their internal processes are anything like the places I've worked then no thanks
Well their policies are anti-life so maybe that
What's even better is him thinking he's not going to be in prison long because Trump is going to win the next election and pardon him. My brother, there's a greater chance of Trump becoming your cell mate.
Those are the same people who called Jesus weak so I think it's a bit late for the pope to weigh in

I don't think they knocked me out enough last time. I woke up from a 4.5hr surgery well rested and even dreamed. I scared the nurse right next to my recovery bed because they had just wheeled me in and didn't expect me to be awake yet. I asked for my glasses and noticed everyone in the big level 1 recovery room was still sleeping. So I cracked some jokes. I then asked her how long the surgery has been because it felt like a while (was supposed to be 3hrs). She got a little freaked out and called the doctor who explained the surgery went a little longer due to some precision needed. I remember every moment from when I woke up to when they put me in the level 2 recovery room and was being walked to the car like 5mins later. I was a little bummed because I asked my husband to record me saying anything silly and he had nothing to work with except me thanking every single nurse I saw.
Wow, that's one I haven't thought about in years
When I was younger and made next to nothing, I ended up in the emergency room with a bill I couldn't possibly afford to pay. I called up the billing dept and told them about my financial situation and they told me to contact Health Quest so I qualify for a discount. It was relatively easy and not only did it erase my previous debt but it gave me a 0% liability for any hospital fees for the next 6mos. The funny thing was that the hospital ended up selling my my debt to collections by that point so every time they called id fax them a copy of a letter and id never hear from them again and after a few times of them selling this debt to other collectors it just got dropped. This was in upstate NY in like 2010 so YMMV.
I'm so sorry this happened to you but also proud of you for what you did. That takes a lot of courage and if you haven't already, retaliation can be reported and you may still be able to collect unemployment. I wish you all the best in your job search
You're experiencing abuse and it's not normal. You also don't have to put up with your family because they're your family.
I dig the oven placement. If I need to chop something, the counter is right there and I can have a beer closeby. Less space for people to crowd around you getting to other areas of the kitchen.
My heart breaks for Madison because as a woman in tech myself, many of her experiences sound familiar. HR leaders, in many companies, exist primarily to serve the executive team and play PR for them. I've met very few who truly have employees backs and even they're considered rebels. The best option most of the time is to leave the company because even if they call in a 3rd party, it's lawsuit prevention and not an attempt to fix things. If anyone is in a situation where they're the victim of inappropriate behavior and the company brings in their lawyer to talk to everyone, do not talk to them. They're just gathering information so they can refute claims if litigation is presented. They work for the company, not you.
I use a notion database to track all the shows I'm watching. Mainly because I have ADHD but it might be useful
