Well you see the president is elected democratically unlike in Germany where the Nazis were never…oh…

Strongly encourage you to find work in a conservation corps or similar organization if they exist in your country and you are able to do manual labor. You would be on a crew of 6-15 people usually living out at a field site for 1-2 weeks at a time, cooking and living and working together to improve the natural environment or recreation infrastructure. Hard rewarding work, good peaceful downtime. Great chance to read a lot of books too since you will be away from computers and modernity.

IF your goal is just to keep your head down and keep a paycheck, your goal is to 1) keep up the appearance of business and 2) be easy to manage. As long as none of you behavior reaches your direct report, you’re golden. Try to find someone more experienced with you to show you the ropes and never ask your manager for clarification or support except when absolutely necessary. Instead, rely on your coworkers to train you and try to find some way to make things equitable with them.

Bonus points if you can find what metrics your manager is measured on and work a little to butter their bread. Eventually, you will figure out which areas you can do the bare minimum in and spend the least total amount of energy for the most job security and likelihood of a raise. Do not work yourself to the bone and do not work beyond paid or contract hours.

For instance, I worked in a chain coffee store and found out my manager did not like having to delegate/think about certain cleaning tasks so I would do those really quick before fucking off in the back and that lowered my overall amount of responsibility while also boosting me in my bosses eyes. Of course, if we were really busy I would pull my weight fairly and not throw my coworkers under the bus.

Eventually looks are going to be the least important component of attraction. It will continue to be about emotionality and familiarity. Young adults are going to feel less and less relatable and therefore less and less attractive.

If its subtitled, I’ll be okayish. I can partially read Spanish and French.

Merci beaucoup! Mes amis aiment les animations francaises, mais je ne trouvais pas les filmes interessantes sans leur assistance. Je suis vraiment excitee!

I love Eternal Sunshine! Thank you for the other recommendations, I am excited :3

If I like whimsical, visually-imaginative adventure films with lots of practical effects like ‘Baron Munchaesen’, ‘Brazil’, ‘Delicatassen’, and ‘City of Lost Children’, what other films might I like?

People generally tell me I smell good so I don’t worry too much about it. I sometimes wear perfume and I usually burn a lot of incense and scented candles at home so probably I have some passive aromatherapy on all my clothes.

I switched to a $20 feature phone years ago and been so much happier healthier.

Or actually less than half as much because the odds I have two big spills in a short window is much less than having one big spill.

I discovered this strat on accident! Blew out my favorite jeans irreperably, and my replacement pair was actually two replacement pairs. My limiting factor on how long between laundry loads is how much lunch is on my jeans and now I have a backup pair so I do laundry half as much on average.

Big feel you on this one. There was a while I would hate-listen to NPR on my drive and realized how badly that was making me shit my ass. One day, I was listening to ‘Lovely Day’ by Bill Withers with the windows down and an older lady started dancing while I was at a stoplight and blew me a kiss. Terry Gross not giving me nothing that compares to that…

For me, the big thing was to deliberately eat regular meals and cut back on beer. I am already pretty active with the things I like to do and how me and my friends like to roughhouse a lot. With good inputs, I’ve gotten a lot stronger just living the life I want to live and have been even more empowered to be silly and active because my strength and endurance have improved. Virtuous cycle. Also, I finally got a work computer and can walk to work because I don’t need to carry it back and forth.

I have a lot of Himbo tendencies so take with a grain of salt!

The enemy has cappucinos and ivy grads, but we have monster and FOSS enthusiasts. Monster and FOSS Enthusiasts will always beat cappucinos and ivy grads.

This sounds really nice! Where I live in the US, most tinned fish even shitty ones, starts around $2 which is just too much to spend on breakfast :(

California Sober is popular for a reason lmao

i liked the hell-fire sermon. My one office job I ever had, I did a dramatic reading of it for an old man and a former improv kid.
