I felt this comment.
Thanks, I hate it.

While I'm certain he would deserve the pain and suffering of a slow death while his coverage denied any life saving treatment.... I'm honestly not sad that it was quick.
Quick or slow, it's one less profiteering glutton in the world, and I can't be mad about that.
I live in Niagara and I'll be the first to say that vqa wines are not all that.
But I'd rather get a vqa, or other Canadian wine, over supporting the USA and their tariffs.
They're certainly not bad, but they're also not "all that" either. I'll happily keep buying Canadian. I'll probably keep that up after the tariffs because I like supporting our economy, instead of sending all my dollars over to the USA for the same thing we can make here.
Canada. It's generally easy and free (no direct cost to me). I try to avoid having to go to my doctor whenever possible and I live with a nurse (and my doc knows that). Usually when I send him a message, either by email or by calling, he'll have a follow up question or two (sometimes none) then decide a course of action and move right to implementation. Sometimes that's sending a script to my local pharmacy, sometimes that's a referral to a specialist. Who knows? I haven't seen the guy in years. But if he made the request for me to go in, I would without hesitation.
I know my experience isn't the same as others, since my doctor and my spouse have actually worked together; but still. It's all free and there's usually minimal waiting.
The only significant delays I've heard of in Canadian healthcare relate to major procedures when the issue is non-critical. Like getting an MRI as a precaution, to make sure things aren't messed up or something (IDK what MRIs are used to diagnose, I am not a doctor).
Everything is triaged, so if you're not actively dying from a thing, and you need a big piece of equipment to scan you to figure something out, you're going to be waiting a while.
I've been there, done that. Welcome to the club my friend.
The only reason I got through my last layoff without stooping into a deep depression is that I've done this dance so many fucking times that I'm tired of it all.
Luckily I had a new job about a month later, which I 100% acknowledge is luck.
I still miss my previous job, it was much better than the one I have now. Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry at being employed, I'm just sad that I didn't get to remain employed with the last workplace.
I get it, 100%. Nothing you said is really all that abnormal. You clearly liked the job, and there's no good way to express that loss. It's just something you have to go through all the stages of. Eventually the whole ordeal will seem further and further away and you'll settle into a routine and get your life back to where it should be. You lost something and it's okay to be sad about that.
What isn't good is if you start getting any worse than where you are at now. If you start sliding deeper into it, or you feel like you're drowning, please seek help. The people who care about you don't want to lose you.
My advice for the future is: never invest more than you're willing to lose, whether you're taking about money or emotional investment, the reality is that you can lose it all in a snap. Make sure you know what you're risking and ensure you can sacrifice what you've invested if there's a sudden change from management. Take care of yourself first, then worry about everything else.
You see, that's a can. That can can't be mistaken for anything other than what it is, a can.
Unlike a can of coca cola, which could be "soda", or "pop", or "coke", or any number of other things.
Op is dumb.
Not instantly though. They did the work, they just did it as fast as they possibly could.
Sounds like tictacs and Gatorade.
Ghoul is the correct term.
With clothing specifically, it generally has a purpose. Socks can make you more comfortable, warm up your feet, pull sweat away from your skin and generally reduce odors... Not all of those in all cases, mind you, but depending on the circumstances and the type of sock, any/all of these could be the case.
Undergarments in general have similar stories.
All undergarments also play a role in keeping your over garments cleaner. Changing out your underpants and throwing on yesterday's jeans can get you through a day with nearly no compromises... Depending on how dirty your jeans get on an average day.
Over clothes protect you from getting dirty to a limited extent, they'll block/absorb spills that reduces the amount you have to wash/bathe/shower... It's easier to just throw on a new shirt than get into the shower and clean yourself up. Same with pants and other over garments.
Outerwear usually provides a protective element, eg jackets can help prevent things like thorns from scratching you, or keep you warm in cold weather, or dry in wet weather...
Clothes, to me, are a useful thing to be wearing, each piece serving it's own small function, all of it coming together to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
There's plenty of social constructs, this is true, but clothing definitely has a practical purpose, along with so many other things.
Your grandma knowing is an outcome. After a long campaign of amplification, that outcome is entirely possible.
I'm just saying... You're shitting on the post for not being amplifying enough to inform your grandma; which is a ridiculous expectation to have.
Amplification is still amplification. Whether it lives up to your impossible standards or not.
29 days "lost" at sea, is therapy for all of the external bullshit we deal with every fucking day.
By "we" I mean people in society, not just men. Everyone struggles with making their way in "this world" we built for ourselves. We made it to be this horrible.
