Over. The end is most likely to be visible at all times.

And when adult labor dries up, you see Chik-Fil-A running a “summer camp” that puts grade school kids to work without pay. And 11 states working to make more child labor legal. And states trimming unemployment to attempt to force people into these shit jobs after they quit them during pandemic years.

Disorganized protest is not going to cut it. Me not tipping a bartender does absolutely nothing against the intentional machine built and reinforced at local, state, and federal level over generations.

If someone wants to take a local boycott action, they should stop going to bars and restaurants with a tipping structure. Then the loss is felt by the bar. Otherwise, the patron is getting their food/drinks, the bar makes their money, and the only party hurt is the wait staff reliant on tips.

Don’t try to out “America’s labor system sucks” me. I live here.

Classic didn’t pick up on when they were flirting, only figured it out right before they moved halfway across the world.

Any sort of “my husband/wife/spouse is lazy/a nag/useless” or from the opposite perspective “I’m lazy/a nag/useless, I’m so lucky my husband/wife/spouse is a sucker and puts up with my bumbling incompetence”.

Sounds hot

Tips are stupid, but it’s the system we live in. Knowing that and going to a bar and not tipping hurts the bartender, not the bar.

I bartended on the side. I finally gave it up mid-covid because the extra money I was earning didn’t outweigh the exposure to sick people and people with deteriorating social skills.

The number of people who thought a server in the middle of a pandemic deserved less pay and more grief truly astounded me. Like bruh, I’m not here serving your drunk ass in the middle of covid for my enjoyment. Tip or I will prioritize every possible person at the bar before you.

I got into that latest bartending job because I had free time, I wanted a bit more money every month, and I’m decent at it from previous experience.

Check out ingredients too. Like kveik yeast that ferments at 90-100 F, allowing people to brew without electrical chillers. Still to be found for use today, NB calls their strain “Lutra”.

Or alternates to hops and how they tied to the Catholic Church and the Protestant Reformation.

Rough plans at the beginning of the year, like “1 week to go to this place in July-August timeframe” so I can plan time away from work accordingly.

6+ months out for international travel for best deals on airfare.

Day of for weekend trips sometimes. Or tacking on a day or two to the end of a work trip.

Years out for sporting events. Like the 2031 rugby world cup will be hosted by the US and I plan to go to quite a few games, plans will develop as cities are picked and pool play schedules made.

I’ve worked physical jobs before, thanks. I still want to stand more now with my current mostly-at-a-desk job, thus I chose a standing desk.

Exercise your own choice and get whatever desk you want.

I never want to go back to not having a standing desk. Next purchase was a mat bc my feet did bark a bit after a full day standing but my hips and back feel so much better.

Nah, for stuff I plan to watch on my bedroom projector especially, I don’t bother with quality that will drive up the file size.

I went running on a new route today which took me past a teen huskie behind a chain link fence. She was so excited as I ran closer and soooooo indignant when I kept running and didn’t play with her. Her huskie yowls were adorbs. I’m going to make it a semi-regular route so I can hopefully meet the owners someday and ask permission to pet their dog.

Edit on Monday: she was not outside when I ran past today. Now I am a little indignant.

I go for a walk alone while listening to music, usually instrumental EDM or similar, no lyrics to think about.

I’m in the US, not sure these are available in the UK, but the other two brands I found with “dumb” tvs the last time I looked in 2021-2022ish, were supersonic and caixun.

You answered your own question. Lots of the social aspect is on discord and you’re not willing to use discord. That’s it.

You blow in the hole, I’ll do the fingering

I took care of younger siblings, I got my taste of changing diapers, feeding, early years educating, schedule management, being “on” 24/7 for emergencies. No thank you. For me personally, being a mom with the typical gendered expectations would be a pile of hot trash with absolutely no upside.
