I used to work in long-tailed litigated liability insurance claims. Think asbestos, lead paint, toxic exposures, etc. Insurance comes into play for defending companies against lawsuits made by people suffering from those exposures. I rationalized it to myself for a year and a half (if we don’t pay for the company’s defense attorneys, we couldn’t pay the claimants their settlements; we’re just following the contract; at this point, the big players are bankrupt, so the claimants are just going after easy targets; etc.), but it makes the world worse and I eventually quit.

I looked at other aspects of the industry, but there really wasn’t a role that I could feel totally comfortable with. At best, I felt like I I worked for the organization which gave earth “adequate notice” for the hyperspace bypass in hitchhikers guide.

I went back to school and now I teach new immigrants the local language. It took a lot of work and I make less money, but holy shit was it worth it.

Pretty good for the US. Abhorrent for most other places. I used to live in Middletown and commute to Hartford (two cities about 20 miles away from each other-Middletown isn’t a main city, but as the name implies, it’s pretty central, whereas Hartford’s the capital) mostly with my car, sometimes with my bike, and for one week with the bus.

The trip from my house (again, in the middle of the state, between the two main cities, and even pretty close to the midpoint between NYC and Boston) to my office took about 30 minutes by car, ~90-120 by bike, and 150 by bus and train. I could have done it faster, but not without arriving after 10am, which wasn’t cool at my job.

That said, they had just finished the train when I tried and I moved away several years ago, so I can imagine it’s gotten more streamlined and/or they’ve expanded it.

I think I have pity for him being racist and not wanting to be, but I am confused. He can’t help the thoughts that go through his head, if that’s what he means, but I don’t know if he is also acting on those thoughts. If he is, then yeah, just stop, lol.

Fully agree that this is a pointless article, but I wouldn’t trade with her even for the money (and my husband and I are an apprentice and a student, so it’s not like we’re financially stable). Even aside from the war crimes prosecution that I dearly hope is coming, a job that demanding with a baby and a spouse more than double your age sounds awful. Plus, everyone fucking hates her. She deserves every bit of it, but I don’t fucking want it.

He should just use “safe spaces.” Much clearer and surely he’d get the full support of everyone who supports this

Because of the storage issues, greens generally have a much longer growing season.

I just mean that you should look up the plants now in case you aren’t able to get the berries regularly. Tomatoes have some vitamin C, but peppers have a whole bunch.

The director

You can get vitamin C from a bunch of plants. Look for commonly foraged greens in your area and chances are you can find something with some vitamin c.

They might, but it happens a lot, so it would be a big change. Countries that don’t allow dual citizenship tend to have a lot of former citizens visit, because anyone who marries someone from another country and lives with them there will have an easier time of things if they become a citizen of their new country, but they still have family back home to take care of (and the CCP is invested in keeping former citizens attached to their families, so they can use them as leverage).

Totally irrelevant, but something about her posture/clothing looks so physically uncomfortable to me and I can’t put my finger on it.

That doesn’t mean that Chinese citizens cannot become citizens of other countries, just that they can’t do that and retain their Chinese citizenship. It’s also legal for former Chinese citizens to visit China, you’re not exiled or anything when you give up your citizenship.

Yes, but most large food companies aim for consistency far above and beyond legal requirements to foster brand recognition. That’s why commercially made and canned soups without them exist, they’re just not nearly as widespread.

There’s a restaurant in my town that serves totally different dishes in house, but they also have a vending machine that sells canned jars of soups, curries, and stews; and you can find them in some of the local grocery stores. The ingredients are basically the same as the ones I’d use at home (though probably with a lot more salt and fat), and they’re perfectly safe and legal to sell.

Tbh, I would actively authorize this for my next of kin if they wanted for a private pension. Doing it for public funds is fucked though. I would also stipulate that they be safe with the biohazard that is my corpse, because just keeping it in a bag in the living room is stomach turning.

You honestly don’t need them though. If you pressure can homemade chicken soup yourself (don’t water can meat or starches, but pressure canning is the same thing with different equipment and not very difficult), the quality loss you have over two years is negligible. It’s possible that the meat gets a little tougher, but it’s honestly surprising how little it’s affected by 90 minutes of superheating.

You only use them if the only things you care about are consistency and price.

Yeah, I live in Germany now and it’s great. I’m technically working without a renewed contract (which in my contract, means that it auto renews with a COLA increase) due to their oversight, but my raises stack on top of that.

The worker’s rights situation in the US is dismal unless you’re both lucky and in a skilled position, in which case it seems like it’s workable, but only as long as your luck holds. It’s still dismal.

I was at a regional magnet school, so I probably would have gone to my town’s middle school.

I honestly don’t know what happens if you get kicked out of that- maybe you go to a neighboring town’s school, or maybe there are other schools for kids that get expelled, but the government still has an obligation to educate you until a certain age, so you don’t just stop going to school (unless you’re in juvenile detention, at which point you probably have a teacher on premises).

I forgot to take my adhd medication as a twelve year old and my mom gave it to me as I ran out the door. I put it in my pocket, forgot about it until later, and then nearly got expelled for trying to sell drugs [edit: because it fell out of my pocket] because of a zero tolerance policy.

I say nearly, because I’m white with educated parents and a sympathetic situation, so obviously the zero tolerance policy learned a little tolerance.

Bagels (though now I make my own), fruit/veg, and Mexican food.

I moved to Germany from the USA and I now teach German to immigrants. The most universal experience for immigrants to Germany from warmer countries is the slow resignation not to even try peaches, corn, berries, or avocado (it’s reasonable based on geography, just still sad). I was astounded when my husband said he didn’t like peaches, but then I tried a German peach. They’re woody, flavorless, and expensive.

It seems like full disclosure should be a required part of amnesty and any concealment should nullify that amnesty.

Holy shit.

The body is months old, so it’s not urgent is almost logic. But then you remember that even if it was ten minutes old, it’s not coming back and the ones whose emotions are currently relevant are the family and friends who are probably worried sick about their missing loved one.
