Khorne posted:Also, re: $/week grocery chat, I spend around $80/wk including water, whey, but I could drop it to $65 or so and regularly do by cutting greek yogurt and buying meats that are on sale. I could probably drop it more by buying a filter for my lead-piped house, going to bargain gorcery stores and buying in larger quantities, but I share my fridge/freezer space and also don't care about my current grocery bill much. I try to keep it around $10/day but cashews, eating out twice per week, greek yogurt shatter this. My SO has celiac. He accidentally ingested some gluten at work (it doesn't take very much) and got glutened, which means his intestinal linings were irritated and shed, like a bad sunburn. While regrowing new intestinal liners, he is restricted to a very small diet. He needed chicken broth, so I got some. But it had to be certified gluten free. Store brand-$1.79, national brand, $2.49, certified gluten free--$4.99. He needed toast, so certified gluten free bread has to be found, which is a loaf about 1/3 the size of a regular one and is $5.99/loaf. The slices are about half the size of regular bread, too, so you end up toasting more slices than you would otherwise. A loaf doesn't last long. At least they're meant to be frozen, so that you can get several at once. Having to live gluten-free sucks. I'll be damned if I can see why anyone would deliberately do it if they didn't have to. Anyway, you've been teasing us with Horse Armageddon. I want to know!

My [25/F] BF [26/M] will earn more than me and it's humilliatingquote:Hello, guys. First time poster. This won't take long, I promise. quote:This. Completely. I dislike the whole pregnancy process because I feel it's totally brutal and dehumanising. I dislike pregnant women and their lack of substance when talking (I remember that kind of stupid conversation about how big their bellies are, how strong the baby kicks and stuff like that from my teachers and cousins. Lucky me, none of my friends has ever had a kid). I dislike their giant pregnancy bellies, particularly because there is a loving living thing inside, eating through her - how gross is that? It's even grosser than having a loving taenia because it comes out of you through your vagina! And it has to keep living afterwards! I dislike the idea of a thing sucking your nutrients from you and forcing you to eat even when you don't feel like it (eating while feeling nauseous? No thanks, let me sleep). I can't even tolerate the sight of a tiny ball of flesh sucking on a woman's breasts, like she's a big bag of milk only there to feed it.

The dude with his ex hiding under the bed is a goddamn loving saint for not immediately booking it over to the police station and fighting for a restraining order/pressing charges. Holy poo poo. I guess I can understand not wanting to involve himself with a potential court case and all that jazz, but I would be absolutely sure that woman knows what she did was hosed up to the highest degree in his shoes.  It's endlessly more hosed when framing it as his ex having violated the privacy, safety, and overall well-being of another unrelated person too.

Her parents hosed her up. quote:I know. My parents raised to be ridiculously independent, and part of it comes from my dad's own regrets, as he went from job to job and didn't want me to end up like him (or like my mum). They were always pushing me to get better marks, to study more, to be a better person... yet in the end, I'm never satisfied with anything I do because I push myself too much. Sometimes I think about everything I've accomplished and know I should value my life a lot more - I moved out at 18, finished university at 22, got my first job at 23 and have been living by my own for years. Those are things I've accomplished by myself and should feel more proud about them, but then I remember my career, as fulfilling as it is, still doesn't pay off and I still have a long way to be the one I want. I demand a lot from myself because I always believed I could achieve my goals with hard work and dedication, and need to accept that, at least where I live, that's not how things work. I've already talked about this on therapy and it's something I have to solve. quote:I guess my parents did a GREAT job at convincing me that I can (and have to) do all by myself and that I don't need a man (seriously, dad always told me "your duty in life is to work just for you, 'cause you MUST be able to kick the bastard out of YOUR house if he dares disrespect you". No kidding).

Man, can you imagine going bonkers over a relationship like this, but still be sane enough that your plans show forethought and logical reasoning? It must be figuratively insane to be this particularly, literally insane. Like "I hope he likes his boiled pet rabbit, it was a real bitch of time to drag this camping cooktop and butane canister all the way up through the fire escape. I had to leave early enough to be unobserved by passersby, yet not early enough to arouse suspicion. The people in my head sure had a point with failing to plan and planning to fail. Well done us."

Oh boy, one of those "no man will ever be good enough for my daughter" types of dads I mean I guess this is better than aggressively policing all of her sexual partners until she's well into her 30s but what a hosed up set of expectations to set for your kid. She frames her relationships as competitive and adversarial, which is probably going to make her and whatever stupid bastard marries her miserable well into middle age.

Some of the conversations I overhear in the break room at work are pretty incredible. They've all convinced themselves they're hard workers and will never need government assistance when most of them are just "accountants", putting numbers into a spreadsheet and emailing the spreadsheet to people. We could already automate half the department if we wanted to, it's management that keeps people around and the more and more "new school" managers ascend to executive positions, the more and more you're going to see entire departments downsized and replaced with a single engineer.

Yeah, it gets political at the end there, but the point is that the Mcdouble is an amazing value!  Lady could get 2 a day for under $3 to get her full daily ration of protein and half her calories. Then go home and have 50 cents worth of rice or beans or whatever to fill out the rest of her calorie needs.

Sales can and will be automated eventually imo, especially at the corporate level. Administrative positions will still exist but there will be a lot fewer of them because there will be a lot fewer cats for them to herd in the workplace of the future - you don't need accounting managers if your company's automating everything they do and running a blockchain ledger. Executives will still have AAs, but many (if not most) companies have already dropped down from every exec having their own AA to one or two AAs for each office's executive staff. Productivity increases are just as dangerous to administrative positions as automation is.
