Talk to your employer about taking on the role on a “fixed term” basis of say 6 months. Tell them honestly why and see what they say. If you’re concerned about the lack in money see if you can take the 9 to 5 and supplement with the odd Sunday shift back on the floor to prop the wages up if that suits you.

Now I’m not American but I did read something about this before but I’m quoting from memory… huge grains of salt to be taken with this.

Essentially I believe you can report it as “other income” not specify a source and refuse to elaborate if questioned or plead the 5th if it goes more serious. So in a way you are protected. They have to PROVE you got the money from committing a crime… “I’m just a lucky gambler”. Im pretty sure Whitey Bulger used to pay 30% more than a winning lottery ticket was worth to people so he could cash the ticket and justify his wealth.

I cant imagine the FBI are trawling tax returns, but if you hit their radar for some reason it will probably flag you as someone to be looked at. Just remember, tax evasion is how they got Al Capone but money laundering is also a crime so which one would you rather fuck with?

Women (and trans women) naturally carry a higher body fat percentage than men (Incl trans men) a “male” athlete can more safely and more easily carry a lower body fat % and therefore more muscle per kilo. So the weight classes wouldnt be able to be 1:1 if you wanted a level playing field.

There is still the inherent biological advantage in being born male and going through male puberty and developing a male muscular/skeletal system before transitioning. Very difficult to rule around every nuance of this though.

I like the idea of an E-bike but it just wouldnt be practical in my life at the moment. But its a pretty good community, generally stays on topic and doesnt degenerate into arguments.

Have a look into E-Bikes, theres a great Micromobility community on Lemmy.

My dad has one with saddlebags and says its more like owning a small motorbike. Sure he has to pedal but he never has to pedal hard. If you’re worried about looking like a dork Mercedes make ones that look cool AF.

cargo bikes are getting really practical if thats your bigger worry.

Buy a good lock and put an air tag on it though.

Go pester Link ya judgemental fuck.

I watch BBC panel shows. QI, 8 out of 10 cats, 8 out of 10 cats does countdown, Would I lie to you, Mock the Week, etc.

The problem with that (from a country that has a govt funded channel with news programs) is that if they start being overly critical of a political party when that party gets in they reduce funding.

I mean, I do know girls who dated an endless string of painfully handsome guys who spent all their free time in the gym and taking selfies only to find out that they were shallower than a mud puddle and couldnt keep their dick in their pants.

But kept doing it.

Try him with a mcdonalds thickshake. If it comes in the cup from there… then you can do the cup trick.

Can you get him to drink a chocolate milkshake?

Toddler milk formula. Call it “Milkshake powder” add full cream milk and chocolate syrup. Its a bit of a sugar hit but its an assload of calcium, iron, protein and vitamins.

My daughter is super picky too but she is getting better. https://www.goodfoodpartners.com.au/our-brands/messy-monkeys/ were one of our healthier options, as was popcorn.

We also switched to an iron enriched wholemeal bread. Wholemeal pasta as well even though she likes it with no sauce.

Took her from borderline anaemia to perfectly healthy.

Corporate taxes should be linked to the number of full time annually retained employees making at least the federal minimum wage with full benefits. Employ tens of thousands of people for years on end? Sure, you can have a tax break.

Most cooking can be done by feel, I dont know why people are dumping on this.

But baking is straight up edible chemistry, people who are more precise always get more consistent results.

Heres a really well written article that should give you all you need to know.

And most of the ones who arent ok with it are aware of the “Streisand effect” and know that their best course of action is to either ignore it or pretend they are ok with it and wait for everyone to move on.

The first 0.1%er to die wont be the beginning of their downfall. It will be the beginning of corporate extraterritorial privilege. Corporate armed bodyguards will be afforded the same qualified immunity as police. Why would the government allow this? Because who would be next on the chopping block after the billionaires? Them so a politician walking down the street wouldnt have to fear being egged or assaulted because if you shove your hand into your pocket near them the worst that can happen is they have to pay a wrongful death settlement when their bodyguard shoots you and the bootlickers will endorse it because “everyone should have the right to protect themselves” and the masses wont kick and scream because they never do.

I know your thinking thats not how a revolution works, 2 guys with guns isnt that scary we have numbers! Tomorrow its 4 guys with sub machine guns and the week after it looks like a PMC convoy in Falujah. Yeah you might get them, but who is volunteering to be in the front row trying to charge down a mounted belt fed machine gun on an SUV?

How many people do you know who cant tell the difference between the “upper middle class” and the uber-rich? People who wouldnt be able to differenciate between killing someone for driving an Audi vs the CEO of the Volkswagen-Audi group? It would descend very fast into checkpoints into certain neighbourhoods and gated communities with heavily armed guards.

I genuinely believe things can only get worse.:)

Stuff formulated for whites specifically CAN contain things like bleach that can fade colors faster. Its not going to do it in 1 wash but cumulatively over time.

Ah those are last years Vans, this years Vans are usually in the closet next to the FRESH out of the box “Going out” Vans.

Yes, I have 3 pairs on rotation at all times.
