I think they did for a while and then changed to someone else shitty again.

And while I was still working out of a truck a few years ago, the mcD’s coffee went to shit again, so they changed yet again, but for the worse. But for that brief time, McD’s did have the best cheap takeout coffee.

I mean, there’s other kinds of public mental health institutions than full inpatient.

Why not have, say, a location with publicly-reimbursed psychiatrists and psychologists, where a person goes for an appointment?

I got what you mean, I was just agreeing with you, I don’t correct anyone until at least 2 hours after getting out of bed anyway.

TL:DR for the folks at home:

“The things the women in your life are doing, is providing service for the people around them….”

“Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one. [note: or if we take it, with all the risks that may or may not entail.]

No, it’s not just women; yes, it often is women due to social factors.

I’ve had it happen in the Starbucks flavoured non-dairy creamer as well. It seems to happen either when it’s been sitting a while, or if it gets shocked by hot liquid rather than a slow gradual pour (“milk” first).

I don’t recall having had it happen with Earth’s Own Barista Oat, which is what my local (Canadian) Starbucks all use, but it’s been a hot minute since I’ve had any.

I hate to say it, but maybe some groups of people need the shared experience of war to find common ground with each other enough to sit down and talk. Before that, they perceive they have nothing in common and treat people as “other.”

The perception of “other” being specifically programmed by various leaderships through propaganda and population conditioning is a separate but related issue.

Arguably, under a UBI system people will not be pressured into jobs they aren’t good at or hate just because those jobs offer the wage they need to live. Demographically, “female-coded” jobs are undervalued, so I can see how a UBI would help level the playing field there especially.

I can think of many times I’ve wondered why the hell a coworker is doing this job when they suck at it and seem to hate it. I’d love for those people to have the option to just get out without potentially parking themselves and their family at the food bank.

I’ve started to pay more attention to Costco’s “price per unit” entries on those tags, I just wish that other stores that have lots of comparable items side-by-side would do it.

A twice-weekly mailing list on cybersecurity sounds like a just punishment for their incompetence.

I’ve been on site with the ones built out of a portable, like you see on school grounds. They have full flush facilities, they’ve got a separate water reservoir set up underneath or alongside that’s hooked up to a fire hydrant.

Hell, you can get hand wash stations that work on a foot pump using grey water that are pretty space-saving, even, if you don’t want to totally ditch the portajohns.

The only problem is the people who use them and leave them filthy as fuck.

When I clear a few time-sensitive projects, a Jellyfin deep dive is probably in the works.
