Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I work a 2-2-3 schedule, 2 days on, 2 off, 3 on, then the next week it reverses, so on average I work 3½ days/week.
Now granted I do work 12 hour days, which isn't for everyone or every job, but overall I love this schedule.
I have days off during the week which is really convenient for running errands.
I never work more than 3 days in a row without a 2 or 3 day break.
Every other weekend is a 3 day weekend
If I plan my vacations accordingly I only need to take off 2 days to get a whole week off.
I actually kind of struggle to use up my vacation time every year because 90% of everything I'd want to do can be squeezed into my schedule with little to no adjustment.
Also my personal schedule is 3pm-3am, which again isn't for everyone, but I love it. There's basically never any significant traffic during my commute, and it's basically the schedule we all sort of wanted when we were teens and 20-somethings- sleep in until noon, and go home after the bars kick you out. It's not as bad as a regular night shift where you have to totally turn your schedule on it's head to do stuff during the morning/daytime,
The biggest bummer about it is when your friends end up working the exact opposite shift because you never get to see them.
