That was basically the end. When it was only friends and the feed sorted by “new,”, it was super fun. When my aunts started joining it became much less fun.

Surely longer ago than that? Facebook hasn’t been cool for probably over 15 years

Borax works too, and won’t kill every other insect like pyriproxyfen will. Put a Terro ant bait on a trail or a mound, they’ll come take it and the colony will be gone within a few days

Look dude, I’m not here to argue about the US’s absolutely fucked foreign policy, and in absolutely no fucking way am I saying any one conflict is not driven in whole or in part by capitalism.

But “Capitalism is the primary driver of wars” is a fundamentally false statement. Just because it’s a driver of some or even most modern conflicts does not make it “the primary driver of wars.” War is a well documented and studied social phenomenon that predates capitalism by thousands of years, maybe millions. Fucking chimpanzee tribes war with each other. There are thousands upon thousands of wars throughout human history that prove your statement wrong.

Yes, every non-capitalist country throughout history has been a beacon of peace lmao

Humans are human. Capitalism is absolutely a driver of some conflict, but conflict is driven not only by economic interests, but also political, ethnic, religious, and other interests.

Turns out dogs are perfectly fine eating milk chocolate. I know this because I had a dog who jumped up on a table and ate an entire package of Hershey’s kisses once. We thought she was a goner, but poison control said she’d be fine and she was. High quality dark chocolate is what poisons dogs

To this point, not being direct and being overly concerned with what other people think could even be directly driving OP’s issue

Much better choice than Thin Mints. Thin Mints…blech

Just tie them up to some elephants and drag them across the Caucasus. Hannibal did it 2000 years ago, surely Russia is more skilled than ancient Carthage

My grandfather was a landlord back in the 80s-90s. He owned several small homes and duplexes in a big city, and he did all the maintenance and upkeep on them himself. I saw him work his ass off, how would his tenants paying him rent not be compensating him for his labor?

Only a crisis for continuing unsustainable economic growth. By any other measure, reducing the number of people on the planet is a good thing.

The ability and willingness to laugh at yourself is evidence of self-awareness and intelligence.

Completely missing the point, and thinking someone laughing at themselves is instead “complaining” or “whining,” is evidence of a lack of self-awareness and intelligence.

I had a conversation with management and they told me I don’t open up, which is fair and true and told me to be more empathetic with my coworkers.

Except that I can’t and I don’t care about most of them. As said, I just want to work and go home. I consider most of them childish, gossipy and immature. Of course I didn’t tell management this.

It seems possible to me you’ve missed the message delivered by your supervisor. You plainly state here that you despise your coworkers and your supervisor is saying you need to approach your coworkers with more empathy. To me, that sounds not like you’re just trying to keep to yourself, but that you’re probably acting like an asshole somehow in giving the cold shoulder to everyone.

I think you’re really struggling with “black and white” thinking here, to think that you would have to debase yourself and pretend to have a bright and bubbly disposition in order to be pleasant and respectful toward your coworkers. You don’t have to be mean and disdainful in order to maintain your personal boundaries at work. Your supervisor might have been on to something, because developing empathy with your coworkers can help you let go of your disdain for them and will probably help you function more effectively in your role.

I worked in healthcare a long time, and the field is certainly dominated by extroverts, but I’ve known plenty introverts in all hospital roles who got along just fine. Healthcare is not a job you can do by yourself. You are always going to have to function as part of a team. If you hate other people so much that you’re just going to move from job to job hating everyone you work with, and you feel like you have no other option than to do this, maybe consider speaking with a therapist to try to develop new ways of relating to the world instead of just being miserable.

I don’t have any concept for what 5 feet of snow looks like or what a city does to respond to it. That’s a crazy amount of snow

What hubris? They did what they needed to in supporting Ukraine and it’s been incredibly successful, given popular sentiment was Ukraine would fall within days of the invasion. Are you just going to ignore Russian hubris here, invading a giant sovereign nation and exposing the weaknesses in your military along the way? Lmao

What about the US/NATO response do you find so amusing?

Mfers will see you not order a meat dish at a restaurant and take offense and try to bait you into an argument

Who does this?! I’ve gone out to eat with vegan friends many times, and this has never happened, not once. And I live in Texas
