Or to just take a literal old-school aspirin. When I was in Europe at 22 everyone was terrified of taking aspirin for hangovers.

I gave him some money, but I never thought it was a loan, and from what other people posted in the previous incarnation of this thread it didn't sound like y'all were expecting a payback. The linked post in the probe is him selling something, so I'm guessing he never sent the thing he sold and also didn't refund it.

General Dog posted:Antivax has had a bit of a foothold in California for a while hasn’t it? Like dating back well before Covid. Seems like there’s a bit of horseshoe theory at play when it comes to vaccines and GMOs. Yeah, it was one of the major anti-MMR hot spots well before COVID. There's a bunch of weird hippie spiritualist people who went from that to COVID denial to full blown Qanon.

Barudak posted:The single best predictor of if you gently caress on the first date is saying "I think surviving the apocalypse would be fun". It (thankfully) doesn't come up near as often any more, but like back in Walking Dead's hay day when someone would ask something like ""How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?" I would say "Become a zombie. The world ain't gonna eat itself, that's gonna take a lot of boots on the ground." Usually enough to derail the conversation before they went into their overly elaborate survivalist fantasy that sharing with you was the only reason they asked the question in the first place.

General Dog posted:So are there jobs that don’t drug test? Tons of jobs. If you don't operate machinery the post office doesn't drug test, no restaurant I've ever worked for tested (haven't worked for any large chains but I've worked for a couple regional ones), the vast majority of desk jobs don't drug test. Retail will sometimes drug test at hire, but then never again according to friends who've done that. Starbucks doesn't drug test, I'd be very surprised if Amazon warehouse employees were drug tested (they churn through so many people so quickly it would be expensive and time consuming, and they'd probably be dosing their employees with speed already if it were legal). Any computer touching job that doesn't require security clearance (I don't know one way or the other about the ones that do) likely doesn't drug test.

Joey Freshwater posted:It's kinda the same thing as teachers right? The industries they work for don't generate a lot of money so hey wait a minute It's almost like public goods shouldn't be run the same as a used car dealership. Sanitation and Postal delivery aren't huge profit centers, but the employees are relatively well compensated because it's recognized we need those things for a functional society. Education and healthcare not being treated the same is insane to me.

General Dog posted:There's kind of a salary penalty for lines of work with altruistic appeal like medic or teacher or elder care, because the altruistic side of itexpands the pool of potential workers compared to jobs that no one would ever want to do for any reason other than money. Which also explains why cops are so highly paid.

Dango Bango posted:True, but that altruistic appeal is also exploited as gently caress by administrations to depress salaries all around. Yeah, when they were first talking about a $15 minimum wage in Seattle you'd hear a lot of poo poo like "EMTs are paid $17, should they be paid barely more than burger flippers?" Obviously the answer is no, but the solution to that isn't to pay burger flippers less money.

Mr. Nice! posted:I didn't learn about reconstruction until college. It's the period where black men had the most rights in this nation that they would have until the late 1960s and maybe even longer. There were more black elected officials in the south immediately following the civil war than there are still today. It was actually a decent time for a lot of people, but it made the nazis uncomfortable so we compromised with them again. It was a massive mistake to not try all of the traitors to this nation as traitors. Instead they got welcomed back with open arms. The biggest mistake we've probably made as a nation was not executing all the southern generals. Like random Confederate soldiers I got no beef with, they're mostly conscripted poor farmers, but we should have loving killed all of the Confederate leadership, and actually followed through on the promise of 40 acres and a mule for the freed slaves.

Mr. Nice! posted:Generals didn't secede. We should have executed every one of the politicians that signed an article of secession. Every single one that participated in and perpetuated the conferderate government. It would have been a lot of people, but it would have prevented a lot of poo poo that we're still dealing with over a century and a half later. Yeah, this. I sometimes wonder about what our country would look like if Lincoln hadn't been assassinated. It was before term limits so he could run for a third term and there's no way he loses and he would have stayed the course in regards to reconstruction.

Bird in a Blender posted:The generals are at least the ultimate leaders of the military, everyone below them is taking orders. All lines are somewhat arbitrary anyway, so it seems like a good stopping point. Generals were likely part of the aristocracy then too, where lower positions probably weren't. 500,000 people died in the civil war, it's still the highest loss of American lives in a single war. 200 executions doesn't seem that big.
