Easier than ever to maintain due to the prevalence of vaping now I suppose but it still sorta seems like a pain in the rear end since people are starting to get touchy about when/where you can use a vape

we never discussed it as a society, but I�ve never seen anyone vape on a zoom call. it�s just inherently understood to be uncouth, despite all of us being in our own homes.

I joined SA in part to get into the goonfleet. I posted around to get my count up and then signed up, it went sideways when I posted in the goonfleet thread and got flamed and they never let me in.

lol gently caress that game. Now I DRIVE the schoolbus and rule over a whole thread. A Something Awful success story.

Someone high up from goonfleet spent my entire two week trial session by my side, giving me isk and talking about how they needed better officers that he could trust. He would come with me to training missions and everything. He trusted me because he knew me from TFF. He would joke that he was �grooming me for a top position.� He was getting my schedule because they needed someone at weird hours to group up with some Russians they had an alliance with.

Anyway I never touched the game again after my trial and that guy got killed in Benghazi.

Old Goonfleet in the BoB days was a fun ride, "here, go make isk by blowing up these free ships we're giving you" but the modern Goonfleet has turned into a desk job where you have to try and not offend the angry alcoholic who volunteered to run the group. Also there's paperwork.

man this conversation is triggering me hard i really wish i could live in Italy but their language is how you say 'a-ridiculouso'

i did 3 month study abroad in italy in my last year of college 15 years ago, and it was the greatest time of my life. and same.

i didnt bother trying to learn a language going in, but as a californian i knew enough spanish that understanding italian wasnt actually that bad and picked up a very rudimentary level, at least enough to order food, coffee, and cigarettes

150k part time positions added, 21,000 full time positions lost. Slight uptick on multiple job holders. (Table A9)

average hourly earnings down

61,000 of jobs created were at restaurants and bars. Government jobs up 70,000.

Vast majority of job gains are in lower pay service sectors. Or jobs in government largely due to governme
