A pump's smaller than a volleyball and you could go in with the strap that holds the bottles to your breasts already on. If you had a loose top on, it'd be pretty easy to get everything in place and hit go on the pump. It'd be awkward to write, because you don't want to be knocking the bottles off with the edge of the desk, though.

It came from Dear Prudencequote:Q. Not over it: I have a lovely girlfriend whom I am madly in love with, but I worry that she has bipolar depression and a victim complex or something similar. I cheated on her once and had a virtue affair with a catfisher, which she found out about when I was in the ICU after my stroke. It broke her heart and crushed her. Now she’s always sure I’m cheating on her, even when I’m not. I’ll do anything to make a life for us both, but she’s convinced I’ll never change, which just kills me. I will do therapy with her, be patient, do anything I can. But she stays in this pattern and keeps pushing me away. I don’t know what to do to prove to her I love her, except love her, be patient, and stay true. But that doesn’t seem to be enough. I’ve only scratched the surface of what happened. It is closer to a soap opera than real life. quote:A:You don’t need to give your girlfriend a mental health diagnosis to explain why this isn’t working. You cheated on her and broke her trust, and you’re seeing the results of that. I understand why you’d want her to be over it (it would certainly make things much easier on you!), but sadly, you don’t get to have everything you want after you ruin a relationship by being unfaithful. This is the girlfriend you have now: a person who is sure you’re cheating on her, for reasons that are actually pretty reasonable. You have to decide whether you want to live with this or break up.

The Bramble posted:I'm assuming her friend developed guillain barre syndrome after being vaccinated. There was an article in the Boston Globe recently written by a guy who got that after getting his COVID vaccine and it sounded absolutely awful. You immune system goes crazy and starts attacking your own nerve endings, extremely painful and can cause permanent damage. He said he suffered in silence because he was afraid of people using his story in exactly that kind of way or as an excuse not to get vaccinated. I had that disease when I was younger. I don’t know whether it would reassure people if they were told that there is a (minuscule) risk of getting it with any virus you get exposed to. I got it after a nasty cold.

my coworkers kid got guillaine Barre after getting the vax and he's basically paralyzed. had to be put on a vent and get a trach because his body wasn't doing it right. Been like five months and he's in physical rehab, recovered to the point of "can sit up". Absolutely horrific. I'd probably go antivax nuts if it happened to me/my family.

Poor girl was in the ICU for at least a couple weeks and several months later she can now almost stand up. loving sucks and it would hurt so bad to have it happen to family. As far as I’m aware though this is a possible side effect of a ton of vaccines, but of course a lot of people try to pretend like it’s only this one.

pentyne posted:r/relationships: had a virtue affair with a catfisher I know it's a typo/bad English/whatever, but I kind of want to know what a virtue affair with a catfisher would actually be?  "My wife steals from orphanages, but I feel bad about it." "Sneak the stolen money back to the orphanages and I'll give you a handjob." "OK, I did it!" "Actually I'm not real and also a dude lol"

I think a virtue affair is like mentally lusting after them? Like committing adultery because you are fantasizing about committing adultery. I don’t really know, I’ve never heard the term. Sounds like some religious thing picked up in Bible school

I Googled it and all I got was an episode of The Man from UNCLE. I can only guess that they're, like, Mormons or the kind of people who convert to Catholicism in their 20s and it was a chaste online romance.

Virtue cheating is when you tell your partner that, per Plato, justice is that which is due each person, but you run around with some hussy on the side and formulate with her a theory of justice using Rawl's veil of ignorance thought experiment.

our highly-paid, overworked junior staff keep leaving just as we get them fully trainedquote:I work in an industry that is well known for long, hard hours, especially at junior levels. It’s one that has been all over the newspaper the past couple years for difficulty retaining junior professional staff and attempts to roll out more work-life balance. That said, it’s also (a) very well paid at the junior level, think 23 years old and making $275k-$200k; and (b) very competitive.

There is no amount of money that would get me to work 100 hours a week for two years. Why can't they just hire twice as many employees that work only 40-50 hours a week for $100k? Like, surely their competitors can't offer $200K for less work.

Funktastic posted:Investment banking apparently Oh right, so "look what a workaholic I am" machismo/masochism and a history of cocaine. Realistically, the decisions they make in hour 90 of a the tenth 100-hour week in a row are going to be horrible, and it would probably be economical to force them into a healthier lifestyle - but I guess that would break the mystique.

AITA For no longer doing the dishes after my wife called me her "dish b!tch"quote:My office is only a couple miles from my house so I usually go home for lunch every day. Since it is so close, I have time to do the dishes, take out the trash, switch the laundry, etc, before I go back to work. I find it's a nice use of my lunch break and helps to free up some time in the evening so I can relax more with my family.

a comment posted:Does any single client actually demand 100 hours a week from a team? Or are you working these hours serving a list of clients? the OP posted:OP here – it’s the latter. We have lots of clients. I guess, brass tacks, I’d love to try it. I don’t have any input, though. And I suspect that, as a small firm, we would end up losing the better analysts to bigger banks who do the 100 hour weeks and be stuck with the lower performers.

Yeah if it really is investment banking, then i can understand why that job turned into a shitfest, even if it sounds insane to maintain the current standard. I read the OP's comments, and they kept repeating how they can't hire anyone else because there's so few candidates left and everyone ends up leaving anyway due to the workload, and the company runs the risk of dying. And I keep having the same thought in the back of my head, that maybe the company should collapse because it does not sound sustainable anymore. If they can't adapt and restructure, then there isn't much left they can do to survive.

Most NYC apartments don't have dishwashers, hand-washing is pretty much how everyone there does it unless they live in a Fancy Place. I didn't get to experience the joys of having a dishwasher until I moved away in my mid-30s.
