Rabbits. Had them as pets throughout my childhood and I was fascinated with their behavior. Sadly, some of my knowledge came from irresponsibleness as pet stores used to sell them willy nilly without good care instructions. This was also during the dial-up modem era so there wasn't much on the internet then either.

Here's some things to know:

  1. You have to handle them a lot when they are young or they will not make great pets.
  2. You can litter train them. They can't use cat litter though as clay dust is bad for their lungs.
  3. If you don't get them fixed, especially the females, they can be predisposed to a lot of reproductive system cancers and be extremely aggressive.
  4. They are highly social animals. It's especially cruel to keep one alone for its entire life.
  5. They are somewhat opportunistic carnivores.

I'm mildly optimistic that this judgment can now be used as case law for all the prosecution efforts against women and doctors as a result of Texas' fucked up abortion law.

This is correct.

Fully agree with this. Anything in the arts immediately comes to mind. Not just performing arts either - history, literature, and philosophy fields have a lot more uncertainty with income than others.

This is one of the reasons why I favor UBI and universal health care. I think there's a growing deficit in overall creativity, leisure, and social engagement that the arts and other so-called lower-income jobs provide to society. And its not that people care more about money. You just dont have the option to pursue these jobs when your income level affects life or death decisions for you and your loves ones.

Mexican pizza is my anchor menu choice - everything else is just sides. So glad they brought it back.

Mexican pizza before they take it off the menu again. Also, ask for all of the hot sauces. The workers won't care.

Holy shit dude. These are real as fuck answers. I have done a few of these while going through hard times. 💯 on the need to project the right image into some people's pity systems to get what you need from them. They don't want the truth or to help you, they just want to feel good about themselves. Same for hygiene and creating the illusion of legitimacy to access resources. There's a strategy for every level of life - and you need to know which to use once you move up or down.

I think the 1978 boy name is going to make a comeback:

No Name [Abandoned Outside Fire Station Due To Sky-High Inflation]

Worked a 2-10pm shift and actually loved it. Its definitely lifestyle-dependent but it suited people who were younger and single. A group of us would go out to bars/clubs right after work and the be able to sleep in. The best part of this middle shift is that its not hard on your circadian rhythm AND you get to avoid most management presence for your shift.

I work in a tech-field and for most jobs I've been on there's been core business hours that you're expected to be in your office which gives all the workers a little bit of flexibility. Core business hours are usually around 10am to 1pm. How it works is you do your 8 hours however you want, so long as the building is open, and you are in the office during core hours. We have a good-sized early morning group, also a smaller group (usually younger) that comes in later in the morning and hang out til 6 and then go out for drinks afterwards. Most of the jobs also allow people to flex their hours within reason. So you can work a 8+ hour day to work a shorter day later.

This little bit of flexibility is so great - allows parents more time with their kids, going to appointments, avoiding traffic, etc. Literally saves you so much in PTO and $$, as well as other residual benefits to your health and wellbeing.

EDIT - For clarity, they usually don't show semi-flexible/flexible work schedules in job postings, but definitely ask during interviews. Let's be real, a 4-day, 8-hour/day schedule won't manifest in this lifetime, so this and WFH are the next best things.

That was a butt pucker watch but had me glued. This definitely tops the video of the guy who took a large flat-screen tv home on his bike.
