That is so cool. Things like this make me realize how much I miss school. Like, actually miss some of the learning and studying aspects. If only grad school in the USA didn’t cost a small fortune, I’d love to continue education for purposes like this.
Thanks for sharing!
This is fascinating. I have no doubt you had to debate this a lot and are already aware of some of the shortcomings of the system you created, but in general I really like this idea. Antagonistic Resignation is especially great.
Basically game-theory everything because it’s always safe to assume that there will eventually be a bad actor and that bad actor will extort loopholes found.
Gotta be my RuneScape account from 2006. Thanks to OSRS being a thing, I still play on it.
People just pissing on the floor in NYC/Boston subways. Not really that unusual.
This guy shows up weekly. His accounts keep getting banned. He posts things like this, and then tells everyone trying to offer real advice that it all doesn’t work for him. It’s attention seeking and he doesn’t actually want help. This is basically a troll post.
My girlfriend is a nurse. 7-7 shifts, days and nights, it alternates.
She’s gotten used to it, isn’t sore from the work anymore. Make sure you have good shoes. Do some research, ask your coworkers - having the right shoes makes a big difference when you’re on your feet for 13-14 hours straight. Add some electrolytes to your water bottle. Doesn’t need to be high in sugar unless you also aren’t eating much too. Moving and standing and being active all day takes energy and hydration. Having some simple electrolytes and enough calories will also make a huge difference in how you feel at the end of the day. You’re basically on a 12 hour hike every shift.
No.
We’re like the random other adults you interact with sometimes, because you live near them or something. We get along when we have to talk. If it wasn’t for holidays each year we never would.
On the flip side, if your long-term relationship is not like what this person is describing and intimacy has dwindled to an occasional uninspired surprise, but your relationship is such an integral part of your day to day life that you are unable to make changes, then the whole thing kinda sucks.
So I’ve heard. From a friend.
No. Doing workouts doesn’t make women masculine or men feminine. Nor does it make people of any gender identity anything other than what they are.
American football players are constantly doing glute and leg exercises and have pretty strong, and therefore large, asses. Are they “feminine” for that?
There are no exercises you should not do because of your gender identity or sex. There are plenty you might want to avoid because they are unsafe or too difficult for you at.your current fitness level, but that’s it.
This man pre-ejaculates.
To take your question slightly more seriously: Victoria’s Secret is a brand that mostly exists for men to ogle the female models.
So… Calvin Klein, maybe? Not quite the same number of women ogling the male underwear models but, seems as close as we will get.

Well, using that word is your first mistake.
This guy gets it.
“look, I’m not racist, but…”
Dude if you have to start your sentence like that, yes you fucking are.
What will I be ignoring? All of it. That shit hasn’t changed.
This is the easiest election ever. Maybe tied with 2020. One of the candidates is a convicted felon, known predator, and a misogynistic, racist fascist. That’s not rhetoric, that shit is all on the record.
I’m voting for any candidate who is not that person. Doesn’t matter what any of the rhetoric is.
I feel like you took this very strangely… I’m in no way degrading these jobs. I brought them up because they have more flexible hours than a 9-5, and therefore you can use one of these jobs to supplement a 9-5 if you need to.
I very intentionally put the word “unskilled” in quotes, and then clarified that that means “no college degree necessary”, because I do not believe these are skill-less jobs - that’s just a common term that people might see and I was literally clarifying what it actually means.
I am an educated and experienced person. I also worked like crazy during college to afford food, school, and my rent. In addition to sometimes having an internship, I worked extra hours at a moving company running boxes up and down stairs all summer or in the dead of winter during break for $12/hr. I worked 70-80 hour weeks, 7 days a week, every week I was not actively in school classes.
I absolutely agree that no one should need a second job to survive. The working class in the US (where I am from and assume OP is from) is subjugated to all hell. Plenty of studies have shown that employees are happier and more productive overall with 4 day work weeks instead of 5, 36 hours instead of 40, etc. Our tax dollars should be going to infrastructure and education and social health care for everyone, instead of the weapons contractors and military size that no one fucking needs. We are worked too hard for the benefit of the select few at the top and it’s fucking terrible and I hate it.
But OP asked for a solution to his problem, right now. Systemically we have so, so much to fix. But today, literally today, OP could walk into a coffee shop or grocery store or moving company and ask for a part time job and likely start one by the end of the week. It’s horrible that he should have to do that to afford his car and his rent and his food. But I just wanted to share that this is something he can do, right now, to avoid finding himself homeless. That is what I meant by “band aid” fix. I truly hope that he is able to find something more stable soon. And while it feels almost impossible, I hope our society somehow learns to value the lives of individuals over the demands of lobbying corporations.
I don’t know what your current job is, but assuming you work 40 hour weeks, a temporary bandaid is a second job. Wait staff, coffee shop, moving company, landscaping, local bike shop, grocery store - all these offer $16/hr or more for “unskilled” (no college degree) labor. Pick up weekend and evening shifts. You’ll burn out after a few years of this, but it can tide you over while you work on upskilling yourself.
Ware.
“Where are you from?” “Yes, exactly” “…what?” “No, Ware”.
Three things always (and yes I slap every pocket every time I leave the house to check):
In general? Old ass pacman at a bowling alley when I was like 5 or 6.
Personal game that I actually spent time with? Pokemon Red on the original, very very old Gameboy. Like the grey one, before the gameboy color.
