Its Rinaldo posted:Is this an oblique way of coming out to the TFF thread because I'm glad you find this is a safe space, Blind. I was just trying to tell the thread about an experience I had that unlocked something I had buried deep down inside me because I thought I would never be accepted if I admitted it to myself or others. Jeeze. Gots me a craving for pasta. I'm thinkin of making a smallish garlic pizza for the side but can't decide if I want to fresh make pesto or carbonara. Pine nuts cost but fresh pesto is so good. But guancale is so good. This is quite the bind.

Should I feel good about an interview when the person interviewing me talks about themselves and the job the whole time and doesn't ask anything about me being qualified to do it?

Hells yeah. In my experience when they're talking about the job and themselves they're trying to sell you on accepting as much as anything.

That was such a good class, and I know at least one person went into physics in college because they enjoyed it so much. Also he was the runner-up to be on the Challenger mission, but they chose someone who wasn't a science teacher for PR purposes. He would have watched it irl, but the launch was delayed until a Monday and he had to teach.

I'd have been on at least my fifth deployment, and at least my second marriage. I follow WTFArmy (even though some of the admins are problematic assholes), a Twitter account that basically posts units being complete assholes (and occasionally Joes being complete morons), and I realized I had hit 15 years when I saw this tweet: https://twitter.com/TheWTFNation/status/1542929774963699712 and thought "wait that's a holiday, they can't make them work on the actual holiday", and realizing I finally had switched entirely back to civilian brain.

Minnesota accidentally legalized the sale of 5mg THC edibles today, which is very funny and so dumb. State government is Democrat Governor and House, Republican Senate (+1, I think). Apparently the way it was worded the Republicans thought it wasn't going as far as it did, and want it rolled back effectively because they didn't read/understand what they were approving. They also didn't put anything in there about taxing or regulating who can sell it, so just a real backwards way to accidentally allow what has already been referred to as 3.2 weed (in reference to the fact 3.2% beer is the only thing you're allowed to sell outside of liquor stores).

https://twitter.com/axios/status/1542968908046635009 Biden actually recognizes that republican legislatures and judges are actively trying to usurp federal authority over interstate travel and commerce, and yet he's still working with Mitch McConnell to appoint a far-right anti-abortion christofascist judge who was too extreme for Trump. What does that tell you?

jaadee posted:Any of the medical professionals in here have a few minutes to discuss a substance abuse situation? I've got a loved one undergoing inpatient detox and with the level of care being offered (and the cost) it seems like the far better choice was to simply go to urgent care for a couple hours, get fluids and IV drugs pushed, and walk out with a couple short-term oral meds. Not a medical professional, but I went into inpatient detox and rehab in 2009, so I've been in that hole before. Feel free to message me, I'll always listen.

Relegation seems like a fun idea from the outside at least (I'm sure there are problems I'm unaware of), but one that can never happen in any American sport that wasn't built from the ground up with the idea.

I read some more earlier and the biden/turtle deal is because the judge wants to shift to senior status but will only do so if she gets to pick her replacement. Biden agreed to nominate the guy if McConnell agrees to not hold the blue slip for the two AUSA spots in KY Biden is also trying to fill. If Biden said no, the bush appointed 66 year old conservative judge would just stay on the bench. I don’t think making this kind of deal is productive, but I’m not as pissed at it in that context.

Semi formal to me is slacks/dress pants and a button down shirt. I’m 50/50 on a tie.

Sport coat and slacks is a safe bet. I’d lean to wearing a tie as well. Don’t do a suit, don’t do jeans. The venue itself might be a clue. If it’s a country club or church, then absolutely tie and sport coat. Outdoor park or beach? No tie, maybe lose the jacket too.

Yeah, no owner is going to willing agree to rewrite the rules of their league to send their team to a minor league if they suck enough. Like you said, there's probably issues I'm not aware of, but as a fan, it sounds like it would encourage shittier teams to actually try to improve if they want to be in the majors next season

Yea unfortunately none of the US leagues could even implement promotion/relegation without essentially dismantling the whole system and rebuilding it. European soccer leagues I think we’re all started with local clubs and not started by wealthy owners who want tight control over the league. Maybe the NCAA could implement it at the college level to some extent, but college sports are set up in the most Byzantine way possible and would require dozens of conferences to agree on a setup.

European soccer leagues I think we’re all started with local clubs and not started by wealthy owners who want tight control over the league. My pet theory is that MLS might need to once it balloons close to 40 teams. But yeah, beyond some European leagues doing promotion and relegation (where the bottom 2 or 3 teams go down and the top 2 or 3 go up the next season), there are a couple that do a play-off between say 18th place in the top league (third from bottom) and third in the lower league for right to be in the top league the next season. I think the Bundesliga still does that in Germany.

English leagues do the top 2 and bottom swap and there is a play off for the 3rd. It add more games and some drama but it is mostly the same few teams just rotating between leagues and maybe once in a while a team with a new owner and a cash injection might go in a good run. Obviously there is the leicester city winning the premier league thing but for a long time they were a mid table to relegation candidate team. It is much more competitive now compared to when I was a child and it was Man U winning every year for the best part of two decades.
