So old people in retail get paid less despite being there for 30 years because the new guy can lift heavier boxes

Not everything has to be for the benefit of the company

Seniority pay guarantees that a worker has something to work towards and that their loyalty will be repaid
If both the new guy and the old guy work hard then sure, seniority can come into play but if you let the old guys just skate by while the new guys work hard then I'm not sure why they deserve anything over the new guys. Also I'm taking about effort not ability, if you are 60 and aren't as strong as you used to be then sure, you can cut them some slack on heavy lifting but they should still be putting in effort. What incentive is there to work hard for either group? If you are an old guy locked in then you can slack by without any trouble why not do the minimum? and if you're a new guy and it doesn't matter how hard you work them why not do the minimum as well?

Mine has a decent contract with guaranteed raises, seniority based overtime, grievance processes to settle disputes, pension plan and above all the best healthcare benefits (seriously, Id pay triple the dues I pay and still think its the best).
Fuck that, if I work harder than someone that's been there longer I should be able to get ot over them

Seniority for anything is trash, you shouldn't be able to skate by just because you've been there a while, everything should be merit based

Sad story is, while ginger is actually amazing at helping your stomach the most common ginger ales you can get at the store don't actually have ginger in it. I think people still associate it with helping stomachs from when it used to be made with ginger.
I thought the fizziness helped, didn't realize it was the ginger. When I had an upset stomach or whatever I was told to drink ginger ale, sprite, etc. because it was the carbonation that helped

People forget how massive those balloons are. Basically waited for a chance to shoot it down over water so no one would possibly get hit by debris falling from 30,000+ feet.
Why not shoot it down before it makes it to land then and not after it goes all the way across the country?

If her parents are letting her do what she's doing then it's not your problem since her actions don't seem to be affecting you in any way. You deal with it by not caring and minding your business
It does effect me, I'm wasting gas and hours of my time every week to drive her to work, if I didn't then my mom or brother would have to take off of work/school to drive her/let her use the car. I wouldn't have a problem giving her rides either if it was closer or she was making good money but she's not, she wants a 45 minute ride, so 1.5 hours round trip each time, to make the same that should could get just about anywhere.

My sister doesn't care about anyone but herself, our mom bought her 2 different cars that she was supposed to pay her back for and ran both of them into the ground without paying for them. Recently she moved back in and got a job 45 minutes away, since she ran the car into the ground she either needs a ride there and back or just take my mom's car for the day and she's not even making good money. She could have gotten a job 5 minutes away for the same pay, or even more but decided she'd rather be a huge burden on all of us just so she can have a job she likes. Am I wrong for being angry about this? It pisses me off that she didn't take the burden she puts on the rest of us into consideration when getting a job.

How do you deal with people like this?

It's an incursion into US airspace. That's far from a "little thing", and there's a second one following behind it. I find it deeply concerning that we haven't shot it down. That's the general procedure for an airspace violation. We have all of our nightwatch assets deployed right now, and that's some scary shit. They aren't up for a drill, so that means there's some serious talk going on right now at the pentagon.
I'm pretty surprised some civilian with a gun hasn't shot it down yet tbh, maybe when it gets further east

That could be interesting, but would pretty much require Pokemon games to be restructured to resemble ARPG's (multiple characters, a shorter campaign, shared stash).

On that note, though, a Pokemon ARPG could be pretty awesome.
My rpg experience is pretty much limited to Skyrim, so I was thinking something like that, as far as skill trees go, so I think a longer adventure would be better

Basically it destroys the community you live in with 26-lane highways, long commute times, air and noise pollution. They're also just downright unsafe. A good example is a football stadium, why should it be surrounded by a parking lot 8 times bigger than the stadium?

I'm not very good at arguing about car-centric infrastructure, watch Adam something's videos on it if you want to hear why someone would hate cars. Before him, I had never even heard of someone complaining about them, because I never thought a community could get by without them. But America could really use a social push away from them, rn that doesn't exist.
I'm not saying there shouldn't be a push for public transportation in certain situations to cut down on traffic but you still aren't getting the convenience and freedom that personal transportation brings and I would hate to see a world without personal vehicles at all

Losing said girl in a crowd of people while finding a place to do it is the most common by far.

I'm still pretty shit at talking to people at parties and I just clam up. Don't know how other people do it
I'm a bartender so that has helped a lot but even before I got this job I was putting in effort with coworkers/friends of friends. I feel comfortable talking to anyone now, I am still quiet though because I don't like talking to people not because I'm afraid to talk to them anymore
