I'd love to see some way for this to encourage domestic production.

However, that wouldn't work. Most of the bullshit we buy would still come from China or some third world country. And it's not like the businesses importing the product would pay the tariffs themselves; they'd immediately tack the cost onto the retail price. They pass the pain into consumers and we get fucked instead of the multinational corporations.

I don't care that I'm a 30 something man. I'll sing that and Complicated at full volume.

These boots were made for walking

It's raining men

Man! I feel like a woman!

Tons of great "girl" songs that I'll belt when they come on. Besides all the Broadway and show tunes that I love.

Music is music. A good song transcends girl or boy.

For a lot of things, teachers are mandatory reporters. Certain topics get reported to CPS and authorities regardless of the child's wishes.

Fortunately, they are pretty clearly defined around "a danger to self or others" and sexuality, gender identity, and pronouns don't fall into that category.

Ha. That was my first question when I saw this.

It looks horizontally opposed. I want to say it's an ej out of a Subaru. Top right looks like the bracket for the turbo heat shield. Plenty of lines on the right for the coolant going to the turbo. What's throwing me is the black plastic on the top left. Looks like the intake resonator that sits inside the front fender of the bugeye.

I'm going to guess it's an ej20 rather than the ej25. I know that resonator was in the 2003 wrx, which, at least in the US, only came as a 2.0L. I don't know if the 2004 wrx still had that same intake as they changed a lot that year.

Nah, I still think housing is a human right.

Send his ass to the projects though.

If she took a Xanax to relax before the flight and then had a Jack, she could be unaware of the integration between benzos and alcohol.

One drink can put you into black out territory on benzos.

I disagree on the duct tape of the mouth. There needs to be a better way to handle that than making it harder for someone to breath. Where they keep the zip cuffs, they should probably have a spit mask or something.

It's not top notch, but depending on what you get they have some gems. The buffalo chicken sandwich is super simple and good.

Which is such a poor attitude. Just because someone is bad in one subject doesn't apply to every subject. English, math, and history were all GEs. What use does having an English major be weeded out by their ability to do stats or calculus?

Or a psych major because they have no particular interest in pre-silk road civilizations?

Oh totally. Outside of a few festivals where I took it three nights in a row, typically I was only rolling at a show maybe once a month. I couldn't imagine doing it frequently or having an urge specifically to roll.

Their profession.

I didn't go to medical school and am in a different industry than them.

Ecstacy.

Some of my happiest times were rolling at a concert. Im empathetic, happy, social, and my anxiety is pretty much gone.

If they've got a control booth in the middle of the venue, that's usually where I want to hang out. Best audio/visuals right where the guy engineering it is listening to it

As an IT director, I encourage my techs first action to be to connect to the clients machine and ask them to "show me what's happening." Then they aren't to interrupt the user until they complete their explanation except to ask for clarification.

You can see all the steps leading up to the error, the users workflow, typically the desired end result, and the error message.

You also are building rapport with the user making them feel listened to. Far too often I see techs assume something else is the issue, "fix" that, call it done and the user gets frustrated.

Even if you can't fix it, like so many user issues, at the very least the support experience is a positive one for the end users. Sometimes it's just that a specific preference isn't in an applications options or they need to change a step in their workflow. But at least the end users was listened to and their experience and frustration was validated.

If you have metrics or surveys, it's always interesting to hear a user write in that the issue was not resolved, but they were extremely satisfied.

I completely agree.

Back when I was taking GEs I had an ancient history class that I just couldn't get. One visit to the professors office hours and he basically guaranteed me a decent passing grade as long as I did the final essay.

His job was to teach and help students pass. He knew his subject wasn't everyone's passion and was super chill about it.

One caveat of this, is in my experience it was younger TAs running 100 level classes that were the strictest. They for whatever reason didn't have the experience or self-awareness to know that their teaching method didn't align with every student.

I've heard this sentiment for almost 20 years. "The app works fine, why update, it only breaks things."

Then they blame me when it starts being incompatible with the current OS or some other application. Even if the only fix is to update they still resist or refuse outright.

Now we're going to put you in the special ed gifted school program.

I'll bring the nails
