In middle school, I set an alarm for 1-2 in the morning just to wake up and go back to sleep.

This thread has a lot of people saying things like "don't get a degree" or "get a trade cert" or "work in a different field to get experience" which I feel completely side-steps many issues and the realities that many people face. It's just a fundamentally broken system. The value of degrees fluctuates so much because of a political climate that has the stability of a pane of glass being violently thrown off of a building and a job market that prioritizes either posting ghost jobs to overwork employees to death or outsourcing its candidate search to whoever can guess the most buzzwords in an application.

When there wasn't a word count, but instead a page count, I increased the size of periods to make wider spaces between lines, just by a point or two. These types of stupid requirements are why in undergrad, multiple TAs and professors noted that I have a very verbose way of writing.

No, they're too busy trying to suppress progressives.

I was wondering about that. I assumed there wasn't exceptions, because those can still be possessive. Oakland A's members or 13's unlucky superstition. I'm not surprised though, because English is a stupid mess of a language.

I knew there had to be an issue with the study. I have very little faith in America, but unless they polled 1-year-olds, there's no way so many people wouldn't understand what's it's at least about, even if not what specifically. Especially after so much 250th birthday advertising.

I also dont like it in general. mainly because as an ex-server i know most dont report at least a percentage of cash tips. and i assume the worst when it comes to businesses who will keep wages lower to advertise tips that are no longer taxed (up to a certain amount).

The issue with this is that one of my other cats doesn't understand the concept of running water. He tries swatting it and biting it.

There must be more specifics about that too. I know games I backed on patreon needed to make the price for a key higher since steam wouldn't allow it to be gifted at a lower cost. But Humble Bundle does that, so I'm not sure where the line is.

Only one of my cats is a chatterbox, but I have no idea what any of his meows mean. He looks somewhere, screams, looks somewhere else, screams again, looks at me, screams. He doesn't even differentiate at all, because he uses all of his different meows for the same things. I think he just likes to talk, because he's been like that since he was a kitten.

My cat was born from a stray, and I took it upon myself to raise her. She acts like she doesn't remember what it was like to be outside for two years of her life, as she has completely adapted to her regal lifestyle with no interest in going back outside ever. She is convinced that water straight from the tap is better than water straight from the tap into her bowl. She also will drink from the puddles on the floor after a shower, because that is somehow also better than water in her bowl. She also scratches at doors she wants open. She also was mad at me for an entire day for the two or three drops of flea medication.

 

As a further elaboration: growing up, I absolutely hated pasta salad. I could not and would not eat it. But one day, when I was about 22-23, I was working somewhere that includes meals, since shifts were literally all day for a week (save eight hours for sleeping). The cook made a pasta salad that I could only describe as "orgasmic." I ate that same pasta salad for every meal for the next two days until they finally tossed the leftovers. Ever since then, I have been "converted" to enjoy pasta salad. That one dish completely changed how my body reacts to a food that I already tried several times.
