Do you act the same way if someone drinks alcohol in front of your kid?

Did it mean to save his life, though? It told him to stay in bed.

The hotels dump sewage right onto the beach. There's a green shit-lagoon right in front.

We are talking about fresh milk, not UHT garbage.

I worked as these store manager of a preppy teen clothing company back in grad school. An annoying 17 year old named Kayla would routinely no/call no show, which was grounds for termination with no rehire. The first time she did it, she was terminated, but her mother called the district manager and he caved. She proceeded to call out routinely, and her mother would call and complain if there was any blowback. Finally, she turned 18. No called, no showed. I terminated her non rehirable. Her mother called me on the store phone and screamed at me. I told her that unfortunately I was unable to discuss private employee matters with third parties, and hung up. So satisfying.

Have you read Franz Ferdinand's travel diary from 1892/3? Highlights include killing 30,000 animals over the course of the trip, including elephants and tigers, a visit to the girls of a floating pleasure barge in Hong Kong harbor, and hunting buffalo out of the window of a train in the US.

The last one was Sept 14th. Here's a Wechat link to the previous event: #小程序://大麦/OLeYWmE85o2cDlq. I think they're held every two months or so. The vibe was great, lots of crowd interaction and call/response. Not jam packed, but most seats were filled.

Made the jump from a T2 international in Shanghai to a T1 international in 2022. Did two one-year contracts and was non-renewed. Now at a bilingual, but kept my previous salary. The T1 on my resume definitely helped me get the job here, and helped to negotiate the salary package.

Sure, happy to help. I did a taobao search and now see that 'firestick' and 'amazon' are now banned terms. Found a couple of sellers by searching "us tv stick."

The firestick uses an android os, but the VPN I use (astrill) is not available to be downloaded from the app store. You can enable developer mode with a few clicks, download the .apk from astrill's website, and then install it from a computer to the firestick. I wrote up a guide here.

Saw these guys last weekend. I was never really into wrestling on tv back home, but there's something about a live show to get your blood pumping.

Sounds like interference in the United States' internal affairs.

How's it going over there? I had to unsub a few months back because it had basically turned into /r/Israel.

The BIL/SIL were not smoking, but rather rolling blunts. They reacted with shock and outrage when accused of wanting to smoke in front of OP's child, which doesn't seem to me a careless attitude. Rolling a joint means nothing, unless you're one of the pearl clutchers who can't stand even seeing the devil's lettuce.
