That sounds like a bad idea. Who gets to decide the “special circumstances”? It’s a slippery slope towards eugenics.

Something I never see mentioned is the risk of “brain drain”. If you tax the rich too heavily, there’s a possibility that they’ll just move to another country with lower taxes, taking their companies (and jobs) with them.

It’s only hentai if he came from Japan. Otherwise it’s just sparkling cartoon porn.

Having worked in an elementary school, I’m inclined to believe it’s true. The best student name I’ve ever seen was Vampire Hunter. First name Vampire, last name Hunter.

Can guys get a boner on purpose?

You should make one!

This reminded me that I’m due for a playthrough of Disco Elysium.

I know that. But is the flag actually implying that this is happening, or is the cartoonish depiction of the cat meant to be tongue in cheek?

I keep seeing this being shared, but I have no idea what it means. I know it’s similar to “Don’t tread on me”.

There will always be someone making more than you. The only person you should be competing against is yourself, to reach your goals in life. If your goals are to become a doctor, then go back to school and do it.

Finding a good physician is as difficult as finding a good romance or a good therapist. You need to shop around to find the right fit. After years of struggling with horrible Healthcare I finally found the perfect fit - a middle aged lesbian Nurse Practitioner working out of a health center that caters to lower income folks and the LGBTQ community. Every time I go in we chit chat for a few minutes, then she spends at least half an hour with me going through all of my concerns. She’s very thorough and has made a dramatically positive experience in my health. I can even shoot her an email any time and she gets back to me within a day.

I think it helps that the health center’s board of directors is entirely staffed by the physicians working there, overseen by an elderly doctor who spent his entire career helping the needy in his community.

Keep trying. It’s frustrating, but the right fit is out there.

Ohh the title makes sense now. Thanks for filling in the missing piece.

What does “grinding” mean in this context?

Is that title extremely confusing, or just me? I’m suffering from a concussion and was told to watch for signs of confusion.

Isn’t it normal for food service workers to just wash their hands rather than wear gloves? I don’t think I’ve ever seen gloves at a fast food place.

Haha me too. $99 for the best chair I’ve ever sat in!

Where’d you get yours? I’ve had mine for probably 10 years at this point.

What the heck, I came here to post the same comment, verbatim.

Former bank employee here. You don’t need a squirt gun. Theoretically you can walk into a bank, tell the teller you’re robbing them and demand $1, then sit patiently on a bench and await police. The problem is that the judge at your sentencing will see that you are not truly a danger and give you probation. You will also have to pay fines.

Bear in mind that prison is not free. You are charged every day you are there, and will receive the minimum care to keep you alive.

The best option is to get a bus ticket to a part of the US with fewer homeless folks and good safety nets, then get a social worker. They will require that you don’t have any living family who can help, so bear that in mind.
