The woman and I are going through a similar thing as the two couples we used to hang out with the most both just moved out of town. It is kinda annoying. It also doen't help that most of my friends are freelancer so any plans made with them are shaky as they need to take gigs if they are offered.

You can get a bunch of stuff in your diet that'll make you fat as gently caress while still remaining totally vegan. For instance, deep fried peanut butter? Vegan. Those honey bun things in vending machines that each have around 100% of your daily recommended saturated fat? Vegan.

I find that in the boonies, the classier sounding the hotel, the more likely it is to charge by the hour and have sheets that sound like rice krispies when you sit on them.

Holiday Inns aren't too bad, and the most important thing is consolidating your hotel points in a single chain.

"It could be worse" is not sufficient justification for terrible working conditions. Ever.

Eh, my job I have to be 30m early, get yelled at, have to move loving quickly, lift stuff, am in constant danger of getting crushed or run-over, and if you are new the slightest gently caress up gets you sent home after 4 hours. I go home filthy, sour and 3/4 of the time, bleeding. I just usually get paid enough that it doesn't matter.

It is called work and you wouldn't go if you didn't have to, there is nothing that says it has to be fun, just not unusually dangerous.

This smugness aside, I love my job in part because it is so rough, I often work with great people and it is really satisfyingly seeing how fast you can push yourself.

What if you didn't love your job and it was simply the best money you could make to keep your kids from going hungry?

I've chosen a difficult, sometimes insane career path too, but I chose it, and I have upward mobility. These companies are skating millimeters from violating labor laws and they're exploiting a desperate, disposable workforce to make shittons of money. Fun fact- if you're fired, you are ineligible for unemployment.

Then I would be pretty happy I wasn't starving? Like, this is just a really lovely job, not some workhouse deathcamp. I guess I have low standards but unless you are actually abusing or endangering people, there isnt really any moral requirement to treat them nicely. It really, as no real skill requiring jobs go, isn't that bad.

I will also admit some bias in that I used to have to supervise large work crews of guys from LaborReady and other low tier day labor companies. God knows I am not the smartest dude out there but so many of these guys are so loving dense that I sortta understand the urge to treat them like dim robots.

I try to treat others in as kinda a manner as it can. I just don't think I have the right to hold anyone else to any standard greater then "not willfully hurting others".

gently caress history, right now I am betting a huge majority of the people in the world would love a nice indoor packing warehouse job. If showing up on time and working quickly is too hard for some maybe they should gratefully step aside and let some other unemployed guy have a chance.

I really have had a ton of dealings with unskilled labor people and it is amazing t he level of micro management it takes to keep things going well. I have driven guys to their PO meetings, given them a ton of slack when life poo poo poops up, and done everything I can to help them do well. But there will come a point where if you become too much trouble to manage you are going to be replaced.

Being poor has always sucked but in general it sucks less now.

No one's arguing that they have a great solution that can be implemented immediately, or that things aren't vastly better than they were in the past. But improvement in working conditions happened because people were not content with the status quo; you seem to be arguing that it's pointless to get upset and work towards change unless you can do it all in one go. That's a really short-sighted and frankly dumb position.

"It's better than it was before" is a ridiculous justification for not wanting things to improve further.

Ok, so how, in this specific situation, can you make things better while still letting a company offer near instantaneous shipping of so much stuff sold so cheaply? If you pay the workers more or slow stuff down, the business model the created the jobs goes away.

The conditions in that articular are a far cry from actual exploitative working conditions and really not that bad considering the job takes no real skill other then showing up on time and walking fast?

So Sunday night/Monday morning there was an earthquake essentially directly below my house. It was only 4.0 but it woke everybody up. The worst part was when it was going and I was just thinking "gently caress me I hope this stops soon."

West Coast 4 Lyfe.

I have been through two earthquakes and missed both of them. The first was in SF on Halloween many years ago, I was so loving loaded I refused to get out of bed and seek shelter, I was convinced my friend was being a jerk and shaking hte bed to get me to go out and drink more.

The second was the quake in DC this year. I was working a huge outdoor even on the national mall and was driving around in a golf cat with bad shocks the entire time and didn't even notice it. I only found out when my radio went crazy with people talking about it. Again, I thought they were kidding when they wanted to stop work and wait for aftershocks, I refused to believe them until one of the park rangers got on and told me to shut up.

We did a blind taste test of cheap beers (PBR, HighLife, Bud, Natty Bo, Coors) and HL was the clear winner. It has a much cleaner finish then the rest and actually has some flavor to it. We did also note it is the fizzyest, as fits it's claim to be the champaign of beers.

I do use my two cast iron pans for almost everything as they are really really non stick and having to hand wash them reduces the temptation to clutter up the sink as I am lazy as poo poo.

Natty Bo is unremarkable other then having a cool can. Having lived in Bmore I have drunk oceans of the stuff.


Also Full Sail Session Black is not cheap beer. It is cheap for decent beer but anything over $1 a bottle anit cheap. I have most of a 12 pack kicking around here, I like it but I think I like Shriner Black better.

The cheapest beer I can find is Genny cream ale for $14 a 30 pack.

I will usually be willing to spend the few dollars more and get HighLife. My old housemates and I used to keep a 30 Pack in the downstairs fridge to only be opened in a "beer emergency" and the rule was that even if you only took one beer you had to buy a new 30 pack the next day. That beer saved many an impromptu party.

I'm just saying, as the world of nasty sex acts go, tit loving is pretty tame.

This girl I was dating read in Cosmo or whatever an article that suggested arm-pit humping as a "safe sex alternative". Of course we tried it and it was pretty much impossible to keep an erection with all the laughing and screaming. The same thing happened when we tried using a female condom, but I think the puppet show was what ruined that.
