I had so much more trouble at previous jobs getting approved for PTO, and it sucked ass trying to ration out my sick/vacation days to make sure I could be out and still get paid. Hell, I had to borrow against my next year’s PTO at one job to be able to go on my honeymoon.
The current gig I’m at just wants to know when I’ll be gone, and doesn’t really comment on it. It’s been great while dealing with kid/health issues and I’ve taken more PTO at this gig than I did at my previous couple gigs in 1/3 the time.
Yeah, that’s the tack I’m taking with mine. No sense in lying because it’s not good for your relationship, and I can’t be bothered to keep track of a bunch of lies.
Nearly three in five Americans wrongly believe the US is in an economic recession, and the majority blame the Biden administration, according to a Harris poll conducted exclusively for the Guardian. The survey found persistent pessimism about the economy as election day draws closer....
So what is your alternative? Do nothing and let even more genocide happen? Vote 3rd party and pretend you did more than nothing by voting for someone that is statistically impossible to win?
Its an honest question, because you’re clearly against harm reduction at all. If your principles don’t allow you to engage in harm reduction, what is your better solution? Doom posting on the internet till the election?
What if we’re a bit fast and loose with the Cannon cannon, and we make it more of a rail gun. We should be able to make it long enough to accelerate the Cannon projectile to sufficient speeds without liquefying the contents like you would from the instantaneous acceleration from the Cannon cannon.
I don’t understand why anyone is against contraception.
Its a great way to “trap” someone who you fear is going to leave you because you’re a slacker working a dead end job and you know they can do better if they could see the reality of the situation.
Funny enough, its also why they’re against no-fault divorces.
If they point out how obviously senile and empty headed he is, they lose 40+% of their audience because they value feels over reals and can’t admit that their soiled diaper daddy needs to be given the (political) old yeller treatment.
I was held for two hours. The first round of questions was about my views on Hamas. Then the agents wished to know whether I thought Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip amount to genocide and what I think of the slogan “Palestine should be free from the river to the sea”. I said yes, I do think Israel is committing...
He’s already well on the way to being a lapdog for Shanghai. He’s destroyed any semblance of political power Russia had, popped the balloon of military competence, is relying on them for stockpiles to continue to wage a war that Russia has already lost (even if they take the land, they’ve lost more than they can ever take [personnel, materiel, intelligence], and the Ukrainian people suffer for it), and encouraged NATO to grow more in a year than it had in decades.
Russia cozying up to China has already eaten into Russian hegemony before you even get to climate change effects.
Israel has urged what it called “nations of the civilised world” to refuse to implement any international criminal court arrest warrants issued against its leaders....
And the person holding the gun was propped up by Israel. Both financially via Qatari money Israel allowed in, and also politically by destroying the Palestinian Authority and their ability to govern.

technically you could pay cash on delivery, at least for physical goods.
Is COD even a thing anymore? I’d be surprised if there’s a real market for that, if for no other reason than a delivery person taking and carrying cash like that is a major target.

Which they tell you about before you ever step on the trail, and tell you to take everything you bring in back out. It’s not hard in the slightest to put your garbage in your pack/pockets till you leave, but people are selfish, lazy fucks who can’t even do the minimum and respect the space.
The ones they have are full.
Which is why they don’t have them in a lot of places. Because being there and full is worse than not having them at all, since people just keep throwing shit on the pile.
So the fix is to have people changing them more often + even having more available, but that would require more work and money… blaming foreigners are just easier
It has nothing to do with blaming foreigners, my local parks here in the US are all carry in/carry out parks with lots of signs posted stating as such, and it’s not a massive problem.
I’m absolutely going to blame lazy fucks who can’t hold onto a bit of trash long enough to get to a trashcan or who can’t be bothered to clean up after themselves. Blaming it on lack of trash cans merely offsets responsibility and ignores that park cams are a magnet for wildlife and lead to trash blowing out of them
So the fix is to clean up your own goddamned trash and take it with you when you leave.
