Our office I’m actually going to give them props for this - they do these events during work hours. Summer bbq? Close office 4 hrs early and it’s free drinks and food for everyone. Annual golf event? Tuesday at noon, you can work or you can golf, your call.

Granted I’m too busy to partake for the most part but I’m not a clock puncher, and if I was, I’d appreciate the effort.

quietly? It’s loud as fuck.

The world is, loudly, starting to become a little too much like the first quarter of the last century. And it isn’t good, man.

I mean, it sounds like he has a point? Perhaps another judge should sentence him to prison instead, just so they don’t have grounds for an appeal on this.

Indeed.

Weird like, I’d rather seventy three companies and all world governments not know what I’m literally talking about in my bedroom with my wife, so I’m weird?

Yikes.

The problem is if you pay for it you still end up without privacy.

Yeah at your direction I fixed a late night error. Point would be it doesn’t matter who governed, did things get worse for everybody everywhere all at once? Yup!

Point is its irrelevant… Every country right left or sideways could say things got worse under their governance

Fixed

For fuck sake

I mean fucking obviously it’s gotten worse “under the Tories” but what a loaded and useless question.

How about, "Are you confident things would have been any different under anybody else?

started reading, waiting for the examples of before and after a script went through the process. Started skimming looking for it. Not a word? Wow.

My question is what can be done about it?

We have a sandwich shop that runs 24 hrs from Tuesday morning until Saturday night. I’ve picked up late night supper there and seen people playing cards, etc and just generally hanging out for long stretches.

When I was younger my buddies and I went to a 24 hr diner and played magic into the wee hrs, occasionally leaving only when the earliest breakfast crowd started to roll in.

It’s bad, ie rents keep rising, groceries keep rising, gas keeps going up. Average wages don’t. But at the same time we have lots of people with plenty of money, moms with time to walk their kids to the parks on a Tuesday afternoon… Plenty of people are making plenty of money. It’s just that if you aren’t one of those it’s pretty difficult.

Younger peeps are just living with roommates or shacking up to make it work. But they aren’t living in vans en mass, or something.

For the past 6 months, every Monday I get 5 40% off Uber Eats food deliveries. By spending $40 on this, I find myself having dinner for us, and leftovers for someone’s lunch, for not a whole lot less than cooking our own. For instance I roasted a chicken the other day, I made a caesar salad, with all the fixings. The chicken was what 11 bucks the salad stuff was another eight for the lettuce and the dressing. Meanwhile I order a $40 Uber Eats meal and pay 30 including delivery/tip so it’s not really that far off. If they ever stop sending me those coupons then it’s back to the kitchen for me. But for now, might as well order my burritos or pad Thai while the going is good!

I didn’t mean stop living with parents I meant stop failing.

Shit, I failed for most of my 20s and then it got worse. Waaaaay fucking worse, like, I Mean it when I say worst than for most people. I don’t really want to get into it here, but bad.

And then I learned some lessons and worked my ass off and here we are.

So! Stop? You’re 30, not 70

Literally everyone I know does, though. It’s your calendar, your email, your communication. The only jobs I can imagine that you don’t need to have a mobile device are when you are a drone who has to sit where the boss tells you all day long. Even then, your work likely communicates with staff via text or an app.

Has it been awhile since you worked somewhere?

Lol I don’t know. I guess if you work at Amazon or something having one could be considered optional. My job is literally dependant on my cell phone, and my ability to handle emails calls and texts while away from the office is a core of my ability to earn enough money to pay my bills.

If I didn’t have a cell phone for even 1 day, I would make $0 that day at my job.
