Maintenance, gas, car insurance, more expensive food, tolls, parking, and time. It's a massive paycut for many people when you really think about it.

Exactly! My partner and I together make over $100,000 a year and finally we are just barely comfortable. All of our bills get paid and even though the budget is tight, we still have a little money and decent credit. I could put a $1,000 guitar on credit and pay that off no problem, but there's no way we could get a house.

Maybe if our wages doubled then we could find something further out in the sticks. Hopefully by that time more companies allow full remote work because I already lose an hour or more a day traveling.

I did say that's just been my experience and I did say that people with legitimate problems are different. The cases I've seen are spouses or partners who don't work but their partner has to do the work of two people or kids living with their parents well into their 40s and don't ever try to support themselves. I've known some people who bounce from couch to couch until the person they're staying with get's sick of them never contributing and kicks them out. Sometimes they do eventually become self sufficient and sometimes they find someone who's willing to support them and marry them never having to lift a finger. I doubt I'd ever be in the position to meet a real shut in who can't leave their house because they legitimate problems or have been traumatized so this has just been my experience.

Their sugar free energy packets that you mix in water tasted like jello so I kind of liked those. I haven't tried the cans though.

I haven't known any shut ins that would qualify as having mental heath issues. Most of the people I know who never leave their house just don't want to have a job. They don't have any problems leaving the house or dealing with people they just don't want to work or support themselves. Of course instances where they physically can't leave their house because of mental health issues and trauma are different, but again that's never been my experience when dealing with people like that and I've known a lot of people who would be called "shut ins".

The same way people here do probably. Mooching off their parents/friends/spouse/government.

I agree with you, but you can do both things. You can vote for the lesser evil while working towards a party that actually represents leftists ideals. The all or nothing mindset is why we have a fascist in office currently.

A lot of people can die in four years while you're trying to figure shit out.

Hey, I know this 4 weeks later, but I thought I'd let you know that I used the hand sanitizer spray for a couple months with no bleaching. I actually just recently switched to Lysol fabric disinfectant and I get even better results so I'd recommend that instead.

I worked hell desk for an MSP for a couple years. I imagine all MSPs are pretty similar. They run with too few employees and half ass everything. I ended up doing a lot of high level stuff most days because I was the only one in the office. The other guys would create problems to be able to go onsite and focus on one job and the company almost encouraged that behavior because onsite visits make money. I was left to do basically everything. I had a lot of freedom and someone less competent could have done some serious damage in my position. They gave us all domain admin privileges and shared passwords for everything.

It was very eye opening, but when I transferred to internal IT for a non profit I was blown away at the difference. People take time to do things correctly and everything is so organized. Our AD environment is partitioned to perfection. I love it. I don't have nearly as much power as I used to, but I love that our team does things the right way. All the companies trying to cut costs by using MSPs are going to learn a harsh lesson one day.

Those few examples are 97 percent of people on the planet?

Very true, they also get way more media coverage. Hardly anyone pays attention when a liberal who isn't famous speaks out.

He's going to pretend he's not a nazi to try to save his shitty businesses because the backlash to the reveal was worse than they expected. Too bad republicans don't really care about EVs and democrats aren't buying that he's changed.

Why the fuck do republicans always think somehow they're the majority and everyone agrees with them? I don't understand how the richest person in the world and the most powerful person in the world can't see that most of the world hates them. Even most republicans hate them, but they're just relieved to have any republican in power.

Those do look really comfortable! I wear something very similar for work, but they have more a dress shoe look. Almost exactly like these but thinner I think: https://a.co/d/cLPsGH6

I've only done it about 5 times so far and I don't see any discoloration yet. I actually got this spray from a CBD company years ago. It's only alcohol, lemon, and water as far as I can tell.

If the insides of my shoes start to turn white I'll come back to your comment to let you know.

My feet sweat a lot so I wear very thin shoes with airation holes and they're usually pretty stretchy. I slide my shoes off and on easily and only tie them once when I first have to buy a new pair. Usually the heel blows out before anything else, but it's probably my fault because I throw them in the washer/dryer trying to fight the stink from sweaty feet.

If anyone else has this problem I just recently found that hand sanitizer spray works way better than washing and drying because the alcohol kills the smelly bacteria.

This is about getting people breed more. Honestly, I see this motive in all of their policies. The real reason republican politicians hate people who fall into the LGBTQ spectrum is because they can't produce new children and even when they can they're probably much less likely to. They want to get rid of porn, contraceptives, women's rights, and alternative lifestyles and at the same time try to entice people to have kids. If you want to fight against their agenda then don't have kids.

I think it's more general than that. I get more of a dude venting to a friend who's no longer with us vibe from this.

I've been asked all these questions in my job search in the last 6 months. The questions I imagine you're skeptical about like have you ever been depressed or abused drugs do come up often. Not in the initial application but in the required personality test.
