I quit my first career job after not even making it a year because they were treating me like garbage and picked up another, better job 6 months later. Do not regret my decision one bit. Hadn't moved out on my own tho, so it wasn't that big of a deal

theyve had me going to other stores in the chain (some of which are twice + as long as my usual commute) and doing work I wasnt hired to do, with no extra compensation for gas or anything

ye fuck that. stand up for yourself dude. between gas, car maintenance, and lost time, they basically cut your pay indirectly

You are right up until the haphazardly blurted out part

Change that to "as long as the word/words are used in a context not intended to be offensive."

bruh you're talking like she was reading some civil war era historical document aloud. Basically just wording it in the defense of some tone-deaf dumb ass, so yes, I understood what you originally said.

Honestly, I think there is just something inside some people that makes them desperately want to say the word without repercussions if they get the chance

Thanks for twisting what I said

My interpretation of your post was: Negative reactions from people to specific words or combination of words that are burdened with negative ideas/history are irrational as long as the word/words are haphazardly blurted out without any discretion.

please clarify if I'm wrong or maybe you're thinking about a totally different instance that the op..

Side question: I grew up in a single income home and had the benefit of an awesome mom... so why are so many families opting for a stranger to raise their kids so they can dual income? Or, in other words, if you deduct the cost of a nanny from your own paycheck... that's how much you are actually making by not being with the kids.

like others have said, hiring a nanny makes more financial sense for couples that can both make healthy salaries.

money becomes a priority when there is less and less incentive to have children in modern society. thats why people are having less or no kids.

The whole concept of people getting offended over words is just childish, context matters way more than the words themselves

Sticks and stones, etc.

I think there is already plenty of history and context surrounding the word, especially considering who said it.

Al Roker STILL doesn't look right to me, and he lost his excess weight almost 20 years ago.

Penn Jillette looks like he got deflated after his weightloss.

I think the thing about losing weight without adding muscle is true

Yet sales say otherwise. In a month by month breakdown of 94, they were basically tied all year, with the SNES beginning to take the lead the following year once again. Everything shows Nintendo outselling Sega from late 92 on when looking at sales by year. Not exactly sega crushing Nintendo unless crushing has a new meaning

In the US, Sega had 60% of the market share at their peak in 93 vs Nintendo's 37%. I wouldn't call that nothing for a small time company competing against the only giant in video games at the time

btw japan didn't give a fuck about the genesis or sonic if you're adding in those sales. That's what this drama between SoA and SoJ was mostly about

"Weve encountered a character in SegaGaga [dreamcast rpg where the MC is a game dev] that might bother many long-time American Sega fans. In our present rough drafts, the characters name is Special Task Force Director Cool. SegaGaga most likely uses him as a reference to Sega of Americas former president, Tom Kalinske."

"According to everything weve translated so far, however, SegaGaga renders Kalinske a villain to the point that he opposes and nearly snuffs the plan intended to save Sega along with the rest of the videogames industry. Both Kalinske and Special Task Force Director Cool are American, and both drastically increased Segas hold over the American market. The games charactersall Japanese, of courseregard him as shrewd, an attitude that contrasts with the other characters confidence in the genius of a fun-loving wunderkind. Cool intrudes upon Project SegaGaga with the CEOs authority, just as the Japanese executives perhaps viewed Kalinskes presence as unfairly forced upon them by Nakayama. All of this, of course, casts Kalinske (by association with Cool) and a generalized idea of the American approach to game development in a bad light."

More about Kalinske's time at Sega of America:

https://web.archive.org/web/20070701004808/http://sega-16.com/Tom%20Kalinske-%20American%20Samurai.php

"During probably the only period during the Genesis era where Japan's management really knew what it was doing (as it relates to the U.S.), all of Kalinske's suggestions were implemented. To say it worked would be a gross understatement. By 1992, Sega had 55% of the market locked up (up from a measly 8%). Even more impressive, the company had grown from a $813 million dollar company in 1989 to a $3.6 billion dollar conglomerate in 1993.

By 1994, it appeared that Tom was the man, and Sega was crushing everyone (including Nintendo) under the blue paw of its flashy mascot and popular 16-bit console. Unfortunately, the man who had given all his confidence to Kalinske back in 1990 would essentially be forced to kick him in the groin in 1995. Sega of Japan was about to piss away all the success its American president had brought it."

I had a coworker who was 5'8 or 5'9 and a good 280. She was obviously very unhealthy. She lost 100 pounds and looks sick. You can clearly see her collarbone and bones around her neck and chest. She looks gaunt.

180 at 5'8 is still pretty meaty

So what happens when you make guns illegal and shootings still happen?

Guns are illegal in Jamaica, but there are other factors that contribute to it being a fertile ground for gun violence (drugs, corruption, etc.)

The issue is more nuanced than guns vs no guns in the US. It's also more a cultural issue more than anything. From my experience, people I've met in EU feel a lot safer with there not being guns everywhere in comparison to USA. Not only that, but any impactful change in the law, has to be done on a federal level as it's not like states can secure their borders like countries.

I mean, I don't have any of the neuro-chemical downsides like melancholy, boredom, ennui, despair, anxiety, fear, sadness, resignation or suicidal thoughts.

But I'm also completely joyless; I don't think I generate dopamine at all. I tried stabbing my hand (sewing needle) a few times to see if I'd get, like, idk, angry or something; but I only got the basic pain and it went away.

it only gets worse from here. i recommended joining a gym. best anti depressant that I've found and it has great side effects

Both of those are direct results of the government. I find the whole outrage basically zoomed in on spree killings disproportionate and biased. They're like the favorite sibling that scraped her knee getting all the attention.

It gets more attention because its more a white people problem. Just being real

People will be more passionate about mental health after seeing Joker than an about the well being of people in ghettos after seeing any movie that takes place in them (eg. Moonlight)

I think people can change how they approach the world and their perspective on reality, but I dont think they can fundamentally change their nature. I agree about the major life event thing having to be a catalyst for the change.

PSP had a good number of great games, even though they weren't all gorgeous big-budget games.

Loco Roco and Patapon are still some of my favorite low-budget games

Looking back, it kind of surprises me how good its library turned out. So many gems + emulation

Bought a switch only for splatoon 2 but I didnt enjoy it as much as the first one. Basically collected dust until DxM came out which also didnt turn out how i expected. Oh well

Wasnt really that impressed with this gen overall, but I think that is just the general direction gaming is going. Thankfully there are plenty of great games from last gen and before that I still havent touched.

I also enjoy Mexican street food. That's fast casual though and not fast food

"Zagats overall awards ranked Chipotle and Panera, two of the most widely acknowledged fast-casual concepts, in the top five overall alongside Chick-fil-A, Wendys, and Sonic."

arguing over semantics...

for the record, I think chipotle is flavorless compared to good mexican fast food
