Agreed

Pretty low bar for holier then thou

Over a certain speed, yes, but I’m referring generally to your perspective

Killing something for inconvenience? That’s beyond ethics. That’s psychopath shit

You have a lot to tell drivers for someone who doesn’t drive. Consider that your perspective is heavily biased and likely inaccurate

Also we no longer drive because we were never supposed to drive and we hate doing it anywho

What do you mean? Do you live in NYC or something? I drive 4-6 hundred miles a week

Get your speedometer calibrated. It should read your proper speed

So maybe from your perspective, flash your lights when you think incoming traffic is going too fast?

Keep in mind, what you’re seeing is the combined speed of yours and theirs

I angle my sideview mirrors to reflect back at them. It tends to force them to back up a little

They’ll likely steal in bulk if that’s the case. If they do it over time, snitching on everyone hurts the people who are stealing for necessity. Be the good for people. Kindly, compassionately, and in a non-derogatory way let them know where they can get food, essentials, and services for free from a resource center. Don’t take their dignity.

Compatible isn’t what you think. Phones want to boast about how fast they charge, but that’s not really good for your battery. You may have a phone that does adaptive charging. It’s pulling way less than it advertises so that it can prevent depleting your battery capacity over time.

If the plug fits, you’re fine. It will either charge slower, which helps protect your battery or it’s over what your phone requires, in which case your phone only pulls what it needs. You’ll be fine either way

It probably doesn’t even need to be that extreme. Nobody’s gonna check cameras over this. I go back in when I didn’t get something. I’m polite about it. They’ve never asked for a receipt; they just get the item.

One time I called a fast food place that had a great deal on pimento cheese because I repeatedly got a 15oz serving from them and kept getting shorted by a few ounces. I weighed it at home with the container the last time. I wasn’t rude, nowhere near angry, just had gotten to the point that I needed to bring it to their attention. They told me to come through the drive through and mention the manager’s name and they’d give me a free tub.

You can get a lot farther in customer service by acknowledging that the person you’re talking to is trying to help while expressing things in a way that they can empathize with. You get a lot more through respect and thanking them for helping you.

And if it’s a big corp, as my mother taught me, if you don’t like the customer service agent, hang up and call back.

That’s just cruel. Don’t be an asshole

I set orthopedic patients up with a piece of equipment that prevents scar tissue buildup. While this is helpful to their recovery, what I find most important is the way I can help some patients with their anxiety about their surgery through soft skills I didn’t know I had prior to this job.

What they don’t realize is how much helping them helps me. It gives me a sense of purpose and meaningfulness. I get to help people get their mobility back. Mobility is freedom. After watching my dad slowly lose his mobility later in life, this allows me to help other people in a way that I could never help my dad. I know what that means for them even if my patients don’t fully.

If I won the lottery, I’d still want to do this job or something like it that allows me to feel this way.

From 2006? I’m looking it up and finding various movies of the same name

Babylon

I really enjoyed the storyline and character arcs. It’s witty and raucous. I like the start with debauchery and descent into depravity. Reminds me of Casino with the rise and fall of magnates. Characters were well researched and written from historical basis pulling from multiple important figures in early cinema. And as usual, Margot Robbie is spectacularly precise.

Reminded me of dialing in to BBSs to play LORD. I had a nice collection of ANSI and ASCII art. I thought I was hot shit with my i486 that had two hard drives, 100MB & 200MB. Look out world!

The magnified nearsightedness is something I don’t think most folks realize we can do. I’ve never really asked anyone else with eyes like mine about it, I’ve just always assumed. Thanks for confirming.

Blessing and a curse, right? I love taking my glasses off for a bit at concerts to watch the bokeh around the lights.

The bottom left pair- I didn’t realize they made glasses like that. I figured out when I was a kid that I could press a few fingers together to make a pinhole and be able to see in focus.

This isn’t related to your post, but let me ask you, do you see things up close without glasses in high detail?

I’m extremely nearsighted. My vision starts to blur at about 8cm from my nose without glasses, but closer than that I can see very fine detail. It’s why I’ve never been interested in corrective surgery. Almost a super power to my deficiency. I’m at an age where my peers need reading glasses whereas I can just look over my normal glasses and read even tiny print if I need to.

One way to differentiate between scissors and paper is that paper holds the wrist horizontally and scissors has the wrist turned vertically. It’s just a matter of practice. For sign language, people didn’t come programmed knowing ASL, they learned it over time. You can do the same with this.

You’ve already played your hand with this group, but something to consider moving forward is disguising your lack of experience with this particular game (or similar arbitrary silliness) by offering to take the worst jobs as a way to exhibit your commitment to a sense of teamwork. A good leader is willing to do even the small jobs when necessary and while it has the added benefit of sidestepping something like RPS, it could signal that you’re ready for more important responsibilities.
