I assume all people with kids are at least 40.

Also every birthday I tell people who ask that it’s my 40th and see how many I can fool. It’s been a big improvement in my track record these last couple years tho. :smith:

They're both great - finish them before you go on your break. I liked the 2nd the best, and its now one of my favorite books of all time. I've heard plenty of other people think the third book is the best, though.

I'm kind of with you there, the third book was a bit shark jumpy. Second book was amazing. Honestly the entire thing is a must read though.

The class action firm, after two weeks of ghosting me, finally got back with me and said that paying me $25/hr as a W2 employee was a bridge too far and they would only do $20/hr as a 1099. They're missing out on a tax credit larger than the difference in pay and the tax they'd pay to properly hire me by doing this.

The 1099 is the insult to injury


Also I graduated high school in 1999 and am older than most it seems. Surely gvibes and other biglaw people are older. I swore AR was but she must have had her kid younger

I don’t think that was there when I was there. I usually hung out at Torimasa, My Place, and the legendary Forevers when I was there July 2002 - May 2005. One night I was out at the Wood Company listening to Japanese dudes jam out and stop playing a second before I turned to my buddy and said “That chick is hot” in reference to our ENS watch officer. The guy she was there with, a Lt. jg on another shift gave me the dirtiest look.

Yeah, almost no women will ever be interested in a lower status guy, that's like the major unspoken rule of dating adjusted for general hotness. He had every reason to be dejected.

15 was exactly when I started (the normal age in Russia is 18 - 19, right out of high school). I learned Swedish while getting ready for my year in Sweden and also during that year in Sweden. Russia does not, to my knowledge, have the time machine techology

Well. There’s that whole “you can be court-martialed for boning enlisted” thing too.

Turtle sushi is the best sushi-go-round ever. In addition to waiting for the stuff on the belt (that they made look like a train) there is a second rail for direct table orders. It looks like the bullet train. It’s not actually called turtle sushi. But damned if I know it’s real name. Everyone called it turtle sushi because it had kawaii turtles on the sign. That apparently were actually canal monsters? gently caress it. Turtles.

And the answer is Modern. There ends the list.
