I guess so? I've never messed with it and I usually set it the "right" way (minimal/no withholdings or credits) and forget about it.

Let's just say from once being a child I gotta believe we're not getting the good stuff for elementary school kids. Also from knowing children I don't think many of them are huge chicken wing fans. Oh from the indictment: quote:massive quantities of chicken wings, an item that was never served to students because they contain bones.

Fine. Going another week and a half or so at least. I’ve really enjoyed the weight loss and the lack of anxiety. I’m sure I’ll drink again but not drinking has felt really good this year coupled with being more intentional with my diet and exercise.

I just launched a clean browser, googled Brett Favre and after the bio header, People also ask box, in Top stories, #2 is: "Mississippi Auditor Calls Welfare Scandal 'the Largest Public Fraud Case in the History of the State'" With a picture of Sad Favre next to it. Then down from that is a bunch of twitter links, youtube links and other articles, like a solid third of which are about Favre stealing money from Orphans.

No Butt Stuff posted:Fine. Going another week and a half or so at least. Yeah, it's remarkable how much better one can feel after not drinking. After I got through detox and withdrawal and started actually living a sober life, I was amazed at how quickly I was losing weight, and how much better I was feeling in general. Alcohol is a pretty heavy CNS depressant, so it can absolutely affect your mood and your anxiety, and beyond that, it is an incredibly potent diuretic, so it dehydrates the poo poo out of you. When I swapped the liter of vodka I was killing a day with three to four liters of water a day, it was amazing how much better I felt. It was also nice to not want to spend the entire next day in bed because my entire caloric intake the previous day had been empty calories from alcohol and so my head felt like a bowling ball and my muscles felt dead. I'm not advocating temperance or sobriety or anything as a blanket thing, just sharing my story and experience.

Not drinking is nice Dating apps are starting to have a “sober curious” option. It sounds silly but I kind of like it because it communicates “I will have a drink if it’s a special occasion or whatever but generally I’d like to not” Seems millennials are trending towards killing the alcohol industry! When will their reign of terror end??

When this is done through reputable banks, people go, oh this money is good, and let you have at it. And well... this trader used that with a bunch of Bank of America accounts to move a ton of fake money into his account, executed a ton of trades through a broker with that money... and got completely rinsed. BoA after 3 days goes yeah, funds don't exist, Trader gets arrested, Broker frantically undo-es all the trades and loses like $3m in the process. FBI and SEC are all up their rear end right now.

Ornery and Hornery posted:Not drinking is nice That is a pretty interesting development, but I found myself after about 30 lacking social activities to do that weren’t drinking. I think it’s a positive development that folks are looking elsewhere. I’ve noticed a lot of my morning brain fog has disappeared since I quit but I need to get better sleep. Part of it is working full time and going to college again full time (which won’t be sustainable when I get past my first few “wake up and do math again” courses), but generally I’m only sleeping ~6hrs a night. My next goals are going to be to get that number up closer to 8 and start going to the gym again.

Ornery and Hornery posted:Not drinking is nice I would assume sober curious would be the opposite of that, where you are sober the minority of the time, it should be drinking curious. Also, that describes me pretty much, I have 0 alcohol at home and only have a drink a few times a year at social events. Alcohol tastes pretty bad. I won a bottle of Dom Perignon and I might just waste it at a friends bad movie night or something since I will never drink it.

Some really weird poo poo is going on with younger traders, a lot of whom seem to be Sam Bankman-Fried level of incompetent criminals, and now that we got this forced recession poo poo going on, all the easy money for them is gone, and a lot of them are very hosed.

The Favre thing is like when at my last job, the owner’s gently caress up son that was in charge of daily operations for the whole chain got a DUI and the corporate IT dude immediately got put on “block all searches of Joe Smith on the work network” detail, like we couldn’t just go turn WiFi off on our phones and Google it lol And then also again when the same dude raped a drunk employee AT a corporate meeting at a hotel. That time our GM that I had beef with stormed upstairs when the news broke and was like “You can’t make this poo poo up, these people are garbage, I loving quit” and he did so loving hats off to that dude, I immediately stopped disliking him lol Daddy made him go on leave and I think they settled, and the guy was back within a few months screaming and foaming at the mouth about $9/hr car washers getting 15 minutes of Overtime every week, don’t buy cars from the Napleton group they’re evil T-Square fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Feb 1, 2023 |

The last night I worked there, it was just utter bedlam. Three customers got into a wrestling match, resulting in one guy being put through a table. The kitchen manager was pissed-off because a server he was banging had just dumped him, so he walked out about a half-hour into service; we ran out of batter for the fish and chips, and no one else knew how to make the batter, so we had to 86 anything battered and fried by about 6 p.m. on a Saturday night. (They left the fryers on to make fries, though; this will be important for later.) One of the line cooks sliced his thumb all the way to the goddamn bone, so we had to peel off my barback to drive him to the ED. Later in the night, we ran out of pasta, so this seafood joint was basically selling burgers, steaks and pre-made things like popcorn shrimp. Mercifully, we made it to close (and I somehow didn't strangle an rear end in a top hat customer at the bar who got so incredibly pissed-off at me because I was charging him for doubles). And then in the kitchen, during cleanup, one of the line cooks opened up the fryer to change out the oil. Without turning it off.  I have never heard such an unholy scream in my life. So we had to call an ambulance for him, because we were in no way equipped to handle severe leg burns like that and I wasn't putting him in someone's car. And, of course, that filthy cooking oil went right into the main drain line.  I finished my cleanup, wrote up my after-action report as the manager on duty, put it in the office, locked up the restaurant and went home. Went to work the next morning (as Sundays were the days I did inventory and ordering) only to see a few folks standing outside the restaurant; the locks had been changed and a sign simply said, "We are closed." All of our final paychecks bounced, too. gently caress that owner.
