I worked with someone that switched careers because his work did not align with his ethics.

He was an electrical engineer that worked with high-frequency circuits. Niche field back around 2000. He worked for a "defense" company working on missile systems.

He could not accept it morally and changed professions. I met him doing IT desk-side support at a large company.

I know he took a pay cut.

It's when women are polite to each other that you know there's a problem.

It works. I've seen videos, UK i think, where they used this stuff and then recorded what happens. The urine immediately sprays back at the urinator. They stop because they don't want pee all over their pants and shoes.

My ex had two necklaces made of snake skeletons, one light and one dark. They looked awesome.

I've read the same. They are very smart and will get into all kinds of trouble.

I caught a woman rocking out in her car in traffic and maintained eye contact until she saw me.

Then we both smiled.

Working in IT a customer came to my cubicle with his laptop issue that caused him to stop work. Of course I was busy but I started working on his laptop also.

He tells me multitasking makes you inefficient. At the time, I just said ok.

Thinking about it more I should have given him his laptop back and told him I would help him when I was free.

Not a fair fight. Costco keeps the hot dog and rotisserie chicken prices artificially low to attract customers.

These items bring in people that buy

Nooooooo!

He literally pushed to make being unhoused a crime.
