I understand the confusion now, good for you! Be grateful you're not here! I think the concept is insane too and I don't accept it for what it is, but that doesn't change what adults have to do. Unless you're the do-what-you-want gov-dodging tax-evasion-suggesting riot-in-the-street kind of player. Just because someone is not happy with the systems in place does not mean they cannot take actions within it in a calm manner.

My last job didn't test, the one prior didn't, and my current one doesn't. Job stability is as stable as being able to get hired, and I pay for health insurance like everyone else. My Jordan's are like yours, so neither of us wear leather.

Did he upgrade the head and handle? If so, it's still your grandpa's axe. Did you upgrade the axe? It might now be an axe of your own making. If "same" is extended not just to refer to the materials, but refers to fourth-dimensional quantum axe states, the axe stops being your grandpas axe the moment your grandpa isn't chopping with it, but becomes his axe any time he returns to use it.

I've heard of better men than me chowing down on seafood lips from waste consuming bottom feeders...

If your girl is this like that when she so, and you see til her friend not him cooking probably, you explain the proper way of cooking to her, since her friend is correct. Whatever she's doing with eggs and pineapples isn't likely to be good, especially if that stove's burner is boiling a dry carton of eggs.

And let them organize their civilized society enough to the point where they arrange to cook and eat me, explaining to me as I am grilled on the barbie that human rights aren't real because the only species with established civilized rights is theirs? Eat first and ask questions later

The same world that produced the USDA Expenditures on Children by Families Consumer Expenditure Survey results, in which that amount is similar to other numbers. The US government may or may not have artificially inflated these numbers for intrinsic benefits. Depending on how you slice the numbers or what variables in that child's life are at play, a child can easily cost more than $2700 a month, but millions of families also raise multiple children simultaneously on less money than that. In the same world where rent prices on 1-2 bedroom places can start upwards from $1500/month, what values do make sense? The answer to that depends on whether we're talking about Musk or actual people.

Not all jobs drug test in the USA, if you get onboarded for a job that does eventually test, refuse, and if they have an issue with it, decide if it's worth your time to fight them over it or walk away and start the slow job hunt grind again. You don't have to work for a company that tests, that is ultimately a choice you make. A common issue however with finding jobs that don't drug test is that you're going to be footing your bills for all standard healthcare plan costs and such. No biggie if you value your urine privacy!

Given grocery stores tend to use the currency corresponding to their government's authorized legal tender for use in payment of debts: a lot of small things. A select number of stores in different regions accept bitcoin one way or another, word-of-mouth to support purchasing with Monero through similar systems can encourage practical consideration of it. It will take the slow expansion of Bitcoin-accepting businesses to also accept Monero as value that can benefit the business. In general, I don't know of any specific grocery store in my region that accepts crypto, Monero has an uphill battle to see grocery deployment.

Depends on the size of the species. If they are smaller than the average human, most definitely approach them onto a grill and eat them. If they are larger, that approach is still viable, but their size may be difficult if they are similar in scale to mammoths but have opposable thumbs.

Alternatively, it may be insightful to consider the precedents for this. Leprechauns have lived in civilized secrecy for thousands of years, and gnomes have been documented performing organized crime or acts of violence. Regardless of whether humans are related to either, they would be a distinct species from homo sapiens. It may be the case that for any species on Earth that develops civilization, it ensures approach doesn't happen.

A few questions to people who have struggled long-term with fatigue, exhaustion, insomnia, etc.: what do you do to keep awake for a full-time workday? Black coffee, supplements, herbs, drugs/prescriptions, other? None, and it required a lifecycle habit change? Have you had success with "desk" jobs sitting all day, or had to choose a field with physical activity to keep from falling asleep on the job? Does it just "get easier" to wake up and stay up after multiple years of full-time? Before starting full-time I had only been able to get part-time gigs before, but it hasn't taken long for me to notice my biological clock isn't set right and every day I'm not sure if I'm "built" for it. Is anyone? Thanks Lemmy!
