They just couldn’t write it on a to-do list, because they were illiterate.

Mon cher!

No, I don’t. But I already have a workplace with cameras at every entrance and exit, pin pads at every “sensitive” door, and a name badge with rfid in it so they can track my every movement via sensors in every hallway.

And no, it’s not a prison. (It just feels like one, amiright?)

When did “call in” change to “call out”? And why? You “call in” to work to tell them you will be out.

It feels like it was in the last 5 years or so, but all the new people (younger than me) at work now say “call out,” and I don’t understand the lexicon shift.

Just in case this isn’t a joke, then this is probably a country difference. In America, “entree” is synonymous with “main course”. I know, I know. That’s not what entree means. But the fact remains.

Little bit too coherent. And he would never second guess a decision he claims he made.

Maybe trail off in the middle of a sentence, and then mutter something about the liberals making Twitter delete it? Because everyone is in awe of how much sense he makes, and how right he is all the time.

That’s the prequel movie. The one where you see the beginnings of, uh, head dictator guy who starts the hunger games. (I didn’t watch it.)

It sounds like it might be another form of poor tax.

Your license/inspection is expired (possibly because you either couldn’t afford to renew it, or couldn’t take the day off to renew it) = given a fine.

Misses a payment, because they already couldn’t afford the fine = given another fine and a court date.

Have to show up in court, but can’t, again for the same reason you never renewed your license or paid the fine = given yet another fine.

It just seems like it is intended to snowball due to greed. But maybe I’m wrong and just excessively jaded and cynical.

This stinks! This is total B.S.!

Maybe they choose the nicer groceries because eating is the only thing they have left in their life to look forward to? Since having children, home ownership, and retirement are all off the table in terms of affordability? Idk, just spitballin.

The article doesn’t say “bomb jolt” it says “bump, jolt.” In case no one actually reads the article.

Who controls the British pound?

Who keeps the metric system down?

We do! We do!

I’ve been thinking that for months now, every time I hear his name. And you’re the first person I’ve seen bring it up.

I’m not the other commenter, but I’ve had a Discover card for over a decade, and there have only been 2 places I’ve ever wanted to buy something that didn’t take Discover. One was an obscure website and the other was a small town antique store.

So to answer your question, I do have some other credit card options, but it’s mostly for cash back reasons (I can use the best card for the category each month).

I’m an American, 40 years old. Not only have I never used a fountain pen, I don’t think I’ve ever even seen one used in person. School was all #2 pencils, mechanical pencils, and then ballpoint pens, as I progressed through the years.

Counting calories. I used MyFitnessPal, but I’m sure there are other apps.

Figure out how many calories you need daily to maintain your current weight, depending on age/gender/height, and then subtract about 500 calories from that. This also depends on your stats; you don’t want to go below your minimum daily calories. You’ll be hungry and dizzy all the time, and your body will try to store extra fat because it thinks you’re starving.

You can eat whatever you want, as long as you stay under your daily calorie number. You might not be healthy (depending on your food choices), but you will lose weight.

Good luck!

My boyfriend is getting more and more frequent panic attacks. He’s at the end of his rope. I’m trying to get him therapy, but it took almost a year to convince him to let me sign him up for some. Today they contacted him to schedule an appointment…for a month from now. And he panicked about it so badly that he started sobbing at the end of his workday (while still at work).

He can’t afford therapy, so I offered to pay. Which makes him feel guilty. His constant anxiety is keeping him from getting help for his constant anxiety. It’s only going to get worse. And there’s nothing I can do about it.

I just realized I didn’t directly answer your question: terrible.

Klingon coffee is called “raktajino”.

The More You Know

I have a friend who moved to the US from India. He says when he first got here he was frequently bumping into people in hallways and sidewalks, because his instinct was to move to the left, and as he eventually figured out, the US instinct was to move to the right.

The only reason we could come up with was driving sides and the India/British left side vs. US right side. Because he wasn’t constantly bumping into people in India, lol.

Why not just end the sentence with the word “weapon”? That’s the important part.
