Tax time this year is the first time in 6 years I haven't had a refund. I have to pay them. That LITMO removal stings. Could be worse, if I went into the office I'd have to pay even more. Think a tax agent is going to be a good idea from now on.

Carth Dookie posted:Static shock. Sums it up well. It's like a low voltage jolt from doing things (or nothing at all, mine was if I moved my eyes to the right), but mainly in your head. They're annoying as hell, but compared to other withdrawals it was nothing too unbearable and went away after a couple of weeks. Hell the side affects ON antidepressants were worse than a few weeks of brain zaps for me. Both start up and persistent. But yeah some doctors won't even acknowledge discontinuation symptoms as being a real thing.

A cognitive test might be the way to go. If you test positive for THC you just have to show your prescription and then some basic tests, like walking in a line, reaction time to something etc maybe? Someone absolutely munted on a few bowls would be sluggish and obviously intoxicated? Also would allow for people with a much higher tolerance from long term use to show they are functional. Would take some work to figure out methods of testing but better than 'nah you had a cone three days ago and came up positive and are now banned from driving'.

Lolie posted:We paid significantly more for any kind of physical entertainment media, whether it was books, music, or movies, too. Australia tax. Photoshop was notorious for that. Was cheaper to fly over to the states and buy it than get it here in Australia at one point. Yep, and we had the most horrendous region coding too. We were lumped in with like south America, so it took ages to get the region 4 movies here. Pretty sure I paid like $200 for Wing Commander 3 back in the 90's (was totally worth it).

Carth Dookie posted:Yep. Same with corporate culture latching onto mindfulness as a solution to employee mental health. Making the employees mental issue the focus and responsibility to change and fix... instead of perhaps addressing workplace issues that cause those mental issues. That might require work by the company instead of pushing responsibility onto the pleb. Can't have THAT. Pretty much. Have a cup cake and go back to your poo poo job that doesn't cover your rent or living expenses, oh by the way we had to let go a few people (and some others quit) and no we aren't back filling so just have to work a bit harder for the same pay. Also why aren't you wearing your corporate mandated bright coloured shirt? The original idea was great, then corporate got its hands on it and did what they do best. Now get back to work.

Bald Stalin posted:that will last generations aren't as profitable. We need to do something about it. That's the issue. It's more about churn and burn and make quick profit then rush off to the next one. Which is in my eyes the fundamental issue with western society in general. It's all about ever increasing profit and unlimited expansion. Cheap, weak/flimsy, quick profit only and throw it in the trash and buy a new one when it breaks a year later. I really am getting old. I basically said 'don't make them like they used to'.

Lolie posted:It's a really common problem. I belong to a group which places nest boxes for birds and mammals on properties in an attempt to somewhat mitigate the loss of appropriate nesting habitat. At least once a week someone posts that their nest box has been invaded by bees. Bee keepers aren't so keen to collect them at the moment, either. Wonder why bee keepers aren't keen to collect them? Especially as bee population is in decline at the moment and is responsible for a shitload of our food and plants being pollinated.
