No, Luke. Meesa your father.

I wish it was true. School lunches are free to all students going to a school where over 40% of the students are eligible for free or reduced cost lunches. That is most Kentucky schools, but not all of them.

We unfortunately still have families that have school lunch debt.

I am really, really sorry. That really bothers me when people do it, but I know it helps them. I try to tolerate it if I'm not having an awful sensory day, but sometimes it's like the noisy lightbulb and I just can't take it.

Megacolon sounds a lot cooler than it really is.

Sweet wrap tho

I am so jealous. My old work had stalls with gaps. The whole room was a bit tight, so you couldn't just back up far enough to see the feet of the person in the stall. The locks were installed in such a way that if you pulled the door a little, it would open. (So a discreet soft pull on the door was not a good way of determining occupancy.)

The only way to know was to look in the gap.

I was about to go in a stall when I made eye contact with the current occupant of said stall. She just yelled out "YOU CREEPIN?"

I am of course not socially awkward at all and was completely normal when I replied back "no... Sorry."

Actual privacy in a multi-stall bathroom would be so nice.

Ahh no worries. I was just curious from an internet stranger's perspective, but thanks for the info you did have!

Interesting! Does he have any issues with other people needing to access near the house, like getting deliveries and the meters for utilities read?

No. I'll take someone at their word about their sexual orientation.

If someone is bi and they only date people of the opposite gender, they're still bi. They're not straight but want to be different.

If someone is bi and they only date people of the same gender, they're still bi. They're not gay in denial.

If someone says they're bi, and they're not... Who cares?

Easier than having them in parallel, like a wanna-be octomom.

Ahh my back. I need money to fix it.

I think it happens often. Doesn't make it right. I'm sorry she said something so hurtful to you.

If you want advice or just to talk, message me. I will listen.

Curious about the meaning of life? I don't think we're really assigned roles. We're just kind of here. You can just do the minimum if you want, just securing food and shelter. Or you can choose to do more if you have the means. You have the freedom to assign your own meaning to your life. I find most people either pursue religion/spirituality, community service, knowledge, or pleasure.

Wow, what a maze. Are there accessibility laws that might be violated where this is?

I wish my enemies were more logical. They just make bullshit up and bully me instead. Completely useless for self-improvement.

The less I have to worry about the essentials, the happier I am. The essentials being...

• Personal safety
• Access to clean water and food
• Access to healthcare
• Access to housing that is adequate/does not make me sick

I still have to worry about all of the above a moderate amount, so it makes it a lot harder to deal with anything that makes me happy. If I hate my job, all of the above get a lot harder to secure, so I would need to tread carefully. My previous housing situation made me extremely sick, so I had to pay a lot more to find something that didn't hurt me. (And therefore made it so I have to put off essential medical procedures.)

It's not all bad, but I would imagine removing those barriers would lead me to the freedom to make decisions that make me happier.

Not at all. My changes are trash and this button reflects that.

I bet that smelled fantastic.

Make your home as unattractive to pests as possible. You're not going to be able to have airflow and keep the pests out of your computer.

Below is a dump of things I did when I had to deal with roaches.

Reduce moisture as much as possible. Roaches love water. Any leaks, even slow ones, should be addressed. Puddles should not be left ever.

Seal up any holes. If they're coming out of around your outlets, there is some foam sheets you can install behind the plate to seal up that gap.

Seal up your food in your home as best as possible. No bags with clips. You must put it all in airtight containers.

Keep your kitchen and dining area clean. Never leave any dirty dishes out. All leftovers should be dealt with ASAP. Clean your sink, counters, table, and floor.

Take special care to maintain your dishwasher. Clean your garbage disposal daily at the least.

You must only eat in your designated dining room. Do not eat anywhere else.

Clean all of your floors daily. Sweep and mop. Vacuum your couch.

Take out your trash daily at the least.

You will also need to treat for the pests. If you're sharing walls with other households and they're not doing the same as you and they are not getting treatments, you have my condolences.

One thing that would make a creep a creep is a power imbalance of some sort. For this to exist if we're only considering the age gap between adults, is if one adult is so young they're being taken advantage of.

A 20 year age gap where the younger is early 20's is creepy, because the younger's lack of experience makes them vulnerable. A 20 year age gap where the younger is in their 30's or beyond isn't, because the younger likely has the maturity to avoid being taken advantage of.

Are there any other factors that would make this creepy, like you have influence over this person's career? If not, then no worries! Enjoy dating.

Confidence. Connections. Opportunities.

Act like you know what you're doing (you are likely more capable than you give yourself credit for). Be open to networking opportunities.

Give yourself the opportunities to get a job by applying to places you might be at least a 50% match for, using a well-crafted resume. A lot of these job listings are written on a game of telephone. A lot gets mistranslated between the dev team, management, and HR. Let the interviewer and your own judgement decide if you're a good fit or not after the interview, not that job listing.

These folks are getting to the hiring managers just by sheer number of applications (or knowing the right people), knowing how to get past the filters, and presenting themselves as a great candidate. Do the same, and you might have better luck.
