Confusing, but agreed.

Doesn't matter, either way she should have been allowed to state she was not pregnant and get her care. Having to prove it over and over is just madness.

What proof do you have that your waste is being processed correctly? I have proof mine is not and plenty of news reporting from across the US in the last 5 years that says consumer curbside recycling is basically dead.

I'm just speaking as someone who does carefully separate everything, only to watch the truck put it all the same place. My individual actions mean fuck all if the rest of the process doesn't work.

It's hard to blame them entirely when the facilities to separate and recycle the waste were never fully built in the US and we spent decades shipping bales of consumer recycling to Asia where it was often deemed too dirty to use for recycling and was burned instead. You can find tons of great articles about the collapses of consumer recycling and the unraveling of the plastic recycling lies sold to the American public, it came about 2021 and continued to be a hot topic through 2023. Today, my shitty neighborhood has collectively stepped down from a proper waste pickup with bins, to 4 guys and a truck who collect and take the waste to a nearby incinerator. We know it can't be an "official" waste collection company by the "We Love Junk" signs on the truck enjoying our cans, but we've been told this is fancy hand collection that is quieter than standard trash trucks and we should be grateful. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻)

In the US it's nearly impossible since the pandemic. Most waste collection firms are dumping both cans in the same truck and not recycling anything. Plastic recycling in particular turned out to be much more expensive than waste management was prepared to keep doing so they stopped.

'96 Saturn Wagon in red. Mom bought it after a car accident left her unable to drive a manual transmission for a year when I was a freshman. She made me learn to drive in it, then as soon as I passed my test she brought herself a brand new Honda CRV with manual transmission and gave me the Saturn. I drove it until I finished graduate school in 06, I gave the Saturn back and she gave me $15k to buy a new car of my choice as a graduation present. My new husband and I chose a Ford Focus wagon, manual transmission, which we drove happily until it's final demise in 2023. Mom sold the Saturn to a friend in the next state of over for a few grand but she drove the poor thing into a flooded road and killed it less than a year later.

Thanks grandpa. Did you walk in with a firm handshake too? /s

Jokes aside, I understand this worked for your industry for trade work but the OP asked for job websites.

Bro is a failed Catholic priest candidate. His entire life is trying to uphold the systems of oppression, it is maddening.

I have a WeVibe Tango and have loved it for a very long time.

That's super pricey for this. Any $15 vibe from Amazon will do.

Not -always- but when things are really goopy and not going anywhere I can vibe for a couple of minutes until it's looser and then blow my nose and get my allergy spray in. It's a nasal spray so I need any room in there to get the meds in. I rub it mostly on my upper cheeks and nose and a little on my forehead.

 

I know it's been getting worse but today I feel like Reddit refuses to show me my subscribed subreddits. I'm a member of close to 100 subreddits but my Home page is majority recommended posts and ads and almost no content from my actual communities even though they are very active and have content. I've been doubling down on hiding and "don't show me this again" guy I feel like it's making the problem worse.

Anyone else?

 

I'm reading Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD by Susan Pinksky and it is full of helpful advice and useful tips. But I don't like to hear the truth sometimes.

The actual quote from the book is "If you are purchasing items for a project, pause to put the date you will DO the project on your calendar (preferably within the week). If the project doesn't get done, reschedule it so those supplies stay on your radar.... We should only buy items for which we have an imminent plan or need."
