I haven't used amazon personally in years and I haven't missed it a bit. The biggest problem is trying to order stuff at work because my employer doesn't care that amazon is a shit company. If I put a purchase order in for a niche part from Joe's Niche Part Depot I just get a response of "We don't have them registered as a supplier in our system, but amazon has that part too and it's only $3 more there so we're just going to get it there."

Ok rather than childish name calling, explain to me how that marshal had any way of knowing what their intent was. Also it is convient how you left the last part of that sentence off.

Once again the actual intent doesn't matter because that was only known to them. The only people who knew if they actually had weapons or not were them and you're going to fault people for believing them when they said they did. They were threatening another persons life (once again no one knew they were faking it except them) that is the only thing that maters in this situation.

They knowingly made the marshal believe they had weapons, was the marshal just supposed to let themself get shot? There are a lot of things to criticize US police for, but protecting themselves when there is a clear, deliberate, and imminent threat on their lives is not one of them.

Yes it's sad that a troubled kid with an underdeveloped brain made a stupid decision and was killed for it. But that doesn't make it ok to victim blame someone for defending themself from a threat upon their life.

Origionally she said that she just got some mushrooms from "the asian market". I'm assuming they found out that wasn't actually the case at which point any plausable deniability she had went out the window.

Accidental mushroom poisoning isn't terribly rare among amateur foragers who have no idea what they're doing. So her saying that she just bought them off of someone is somewhat believable. But if they discovered that she lied about where she got them then it goes from believable accident to almost certainly murder in an instant.

If somebody is threatening your life for your stuff then they are still threatening your life. Their motive doesn't change the fact that they are threatening to kill you.

I mean, if you're starving badly enough you can sometimes completely stop having your period. So in a post apocalyptic setting that one could be kind of believable.

Seriously though. Don't. I spend most of my my work day reading technical manuals and even those are less dense and more gripping than The Silmarillion. It can be interesting but it ranks somewhere behind a middle english encylopedia of ants in terms of being engaging.

But the Hobbit references the prequel, The Silmarillion, so much. That's clearly where everyone should start.

I was always told to specifically take them in the morning because they give you energy. I've been on quite a few different ones and none of them have made me drowsy. If anything I might get a very slight bit of the opposite effect in that they keep me awake but even then it's barely noticable.

If you quit SSRIs cold turkey then you're going to wind up with discontinuation syndrome (aka withdrawls). This is going to vary depending on the person so I am just speaking from personal experience. Typically this will mean your depression or anxiety comming back with a vengance. In my cas it hit way harder than it normally does when I'm just at my baseline unmedicated. I also got extremely agitated over the most minor things. Plus you've got all of the physical symptoms such as tremors, nausea, and bouts of cold sweats. Then you have the one withdrawl symptom that is unique to meds like SSRIs which is brain zaps (aka brain shivers, brain flips brain shocks). Brain zaps are really hard to describe. The best equivalent that I can think of is when you get your reflexes checked and you feel that reflexive muscle twitch; it's basically that feeling except it feels like its comming from right in the middle of your brain and it happens about once per minute for the entire duration of the withdrawls (1-2 weeks). It's not something that is painful but it is annoying, constant, and highly distracting. Basically every time one hit I would lose my entire train of thought which made it impossible to focus on even the most basic things. From what I understand noone knows what actually causes the brain zap sensation but one of the leading theories right now is that they're basically just micro seizures.

My phone is mostly full of work pictures. It's a tool like any other. I also spend a fair bit of my downtime at work sending anticapitalist shitposts to my boss using said phone.

Anyone who cares about people using their phones at work really needs to join the 21st century.

Does seeing the post in all count as visiting? Is it like losing the game?

I'm a guy too. It's a quote from a female streamer that has been passed around my friend group for a while.

I'm going to fuck your dad and give him a child that he actually loves.

Ooh. I should do dazzle cammo on my house.

But then the mailperson would never be able to guess the speed and heading of my house to deliver packages.

Now I just want to see big buildings painted with WWI dazzle camo.

For a first time home owner mortgage you can put 0% down. You just also have to pay for "private mortgage insurance" until you have 20% equity in the house and that insurance is not cheap so the more you can put down the better.

In my case I think the PMI costs me almost $200 per month but I think it's based off the value of the home and mine was dirt cheap. I'm also lucky in that my dad is a carpenter and taught me how to do most of that stuff so I had the option of buying an absolute shitheap and making it livable on my own. I had also been working constant overtime for a year straight while living in my dads basement so I did have a bit of cash saved up, but most of that money went into repairs on the house I bought rather than the down payment. I also live in a very low COL area so my house was way cheaper than it is in most of the country.

So I'm definitely not saying "why doesn't everyone just buy a house?" Because I was just very lucky in a lot of respects. But buying a house is more feasable than most people think it is. You definitely don't need to put 20% down; doing that is only really expected if you're selling your current house to buy another or if you're buying a second house.

You never know. If we start fucking up any worse Floida might be under water by then. Always gotta look on the bright side.

At a place I used to work one of my coworkers just had their password as a barcode taped to their desk. Now to be fair we worked in the extra high security room so even getting access to that desk would be a little tricky and we had about 20 unlabeled barcoded taped to each of our desks for various inventory locations and functions. So if someone wanted to get into their account they would still have to guess which barcode it was and get into a room only like 10 people had access to. It still felt pretty damn sketchy though.
