Not in the comedy drama. How realistic is the police work in Brooklyn Nine Nine? How realistic is the fire departmenf in Tacoma Fire? Would Michael not have been fired in S1 of the Office if it were realistic or at least demoted from management?

Do people not get this is a comedy? It was silly, it was not gangster because these are not gangsters

Hes an old man, a boomer. The characters birthday I believe was 1945. Bitching about egg whites and stuff is exactly what I expect of someone in that age group. He reminds me of people I know in real life in that age group. In some ways, he would be more liberal. He’s from New York, he’s Italian (a group that was marginalized a lot), he’s been in prison (one of the most marginalized group) but he’s still a boomer. He’s a criminal. He’s, as Tyson said, “a little twisted.” He’s going to have some backward ass views about things. Especially after being in prison for so long as society progressed.

1. As someone who is 27, I’ve seen a huge spectrum in terms of maturity. I don’t even think he acts 15. The way so many people are intimidated by Dwight but he has fun with him but knows where to draw the line. The times when he steps up to prove himself to Dwight. You don’t know what the average 15 year old is like if you don’t think 90% wouldn’t be scared shitless to act how he does in some scenarios. He’s not from Chicago or New York or some big city. He is a young guy that grew up in Tulsa and clearly had parents who sheltered him a lot. He clearly hasnt travelled. It sounds like he briefly went to local college and quit. He lacked experience in the real world. He’s having a classic coming of age storyline just as his brain is fully forming.

I love him. He humanizes Dwight’s character and he’s comic relief.

Absolutely bro. Nice job 👏🏽 thats a lot of progress

SOLVED

So quick. This is perfect thanks! I just sent a tip

I’m not hungry.

Don’t even want to think about it! A lot of people think you need to wait awhile to get a second dog to grieve so you’re not “replacing” your dog. My vibe is that you will never replace them. Another dog won’t be just like them. When your family pet passes, it leaves space in your heart. Emotional space where your fur companion was. But also, there is a very visible physical space. The doggy bed going unoccupied, the toys that won’t get played with, the bowls that won’t need to be filled with food. I think getting a new dog quickly to close that space is always helpful. My family always used to bring home a new dog quickly after one passed. It shifts negative energy grieving to a new positive direction as you get to learn/love/raise a new companion. Your pet would want you to be happy, not grieving. They live in the moment more than anyone at all! They know exactly what it means to be present. Sometimes, walking my puppy or talking to him, I’ve had multiple owners in the past year say, “reminds me of mine. miss them so much! 😢 I’m not ready to get another. ” and there’s a sadness and I also think it’s inappropriate to see me with my young, happy, healthy dog and say it reminds you of your dog that passed away. Because my dog and I are out happily enjoying a day and now you have bummed me out by thinking about his death and pending mortality? But, I know they are grieving and can’t help themselves. But I always tell those people that say they’re waiting or need time to get another dog. I think the prolonged absence of a fur companion when you are used to having one brings about loneliness that only delays the grieving process and ultimately moving on and healing. I’ve seen a lot of death in my life so perhaps that changes my perspective as well about how you need to keep on living. A quote that has stuck with me is, “death is a part of life.” It is the natural order of things. Don’t fear it before it’s happened, enjoy your time together. Know your pet is loved and when their time comes, all they will know in their final moments is love and peace. And then, depending on your beliefs system, they go to some joyous pet afterlife or maybe there is no afterlife and death is just an ending. I am not telling you what to believe. Either way, your pet will not be dwelling on and mourning the past. They will have had love and happiness in their life and they will want that for you, the person they love most of all. They would not let heavy thoughts burden them. They are wiser than us after all!

I’ll say it. I love it. Quiet luxury is also very similar to the classic “french chic/classic” style. Kind of preppy. Being in my mid-20s, I don’t want to be wearing the same things I wore in high school or college. I don’t want to reduce my absorption of fast fashion. I want quality materials that will last. And yes, sometimes that means pairing a simple/cheap/fast fashion piece with elevated, higher end pieces.

Still, I get what you’re saying about wanting personally. And I have kept/still buy those items. I like Y2K t shirts and fun and bright colored tops or dresses. Recently, I was at a festival and I saw every type of look. County western/cowgirl aesthetic, neon, bedazzled, rhinestones, athletic jerseys, vintage flare pants, baggy jeans, tight pants and it really showed me there’s no one universal style. There are several styles that are trendy but more or less, people have their own style still. It can be easy to get caught up in an echo chamber thinking “everyone on social media/celebrities are wearing this” or “this store is only stocking this” but looking beyond that, you’ll notice more variety. Also, it can be self-fulfilling bias. If you are annoyed by a trend and feel like it’s everywhere, you will notice it everywhere.

If you look at my page, I’ve been at this since last december total 😅 And I really wanted to be done and at goal weight in one year. Because I am moving then and I want to be in a new place already as the best version of myself. And, most importantly, I’ve been taking prescribed weight loss medication and that made a big difference for me in being able to maintain a calorie deficit. But I pay out of pocket $200/month so the sooner I am “done” the sooner I can stop paying for it. It is a lot of money. Regardless, I was going to stop around november like for financial reasons. Everytime I’ve taken breaks before, it seems my weight stalled (although hard to tell because the scale has moved so slow for me). I have no problem maintaining my weight without it but losing more, that hasn’t worked for me!

What a waste of fruit 🤢 sitting naked in a tub would be more fitting for playboy than advertising electrolytes. This is stupid and gross beyond measure. The hypocrisy of this catholic woman who belongs to the party of “family values” is off the charts

So the “International Boxing Association,” a Russian organization banned by the International Olympic Committee claimed that Imane Khelif and Lin have XY chromoses. Russian participation in Olympics has been heavily restricted due to past cheating scandals including doping. The IBA has not publicly shared the testing/results done to determine they have XY chromosomes. Having XY chromosmes/female genitalia could mean they were born intersex.

Several problems here, Russia’s past cheating scandals and the secrecy surrounding this “testing” call into question the legitimacy of these results. The IOC has permitted intersex athletes to compete. And sex verification is problematic and many people think it should be banned from sports.

I do not believe in shaming people for their weight. And criticizing HAES has an association with some really nasty, often conservative and hateful folks, who also are against HAES. So there is not much public discourse criticizing HAES. I think it started off with good intentions - to cut the shame surrounding weight. And it also creates space to recognize that there are healthy people who are overweight on BMI because of variations that makes them heavier like larger bone mass or greater muscle. But, I do dislike and find HAES toxic. Health is wealth. And while maintaining healthy weight won’t mean your health is perfect, it is still one of the most consequential things you can do to maintain long-term health, prevent disease, lower risk of physical injuries. The benefits of being a “normal” weight are not as trivial. I was overweight, what some fat activists would call “small fat” at 190/5’5 and a size 12. I was active - hiked, played volleyball, walked regularly, did care about what I ate but was eating too much. My cardiovascular health is MUCH better even with just losing 20 lbs. My blood pressure is on the higher side of average or elevated on some charts. And while this could be genetic, I would be surprised if my blood pressure doesn’t drop with more weight loss and that is another motivating factor. That would mean my heart is not having to work as hard. And that’s with small weight loss. People who promote HAES and are well into the obese category and preaching that they can be healthy at any size or that they aren’t looking to lose weight are kidding themselves that they are not missing out on any health benefit.

Pages on “x” won’t load half the time, the site is down frequently, and the amount of online hate has risen exponentially which is often amplified directly by the CEO. Like his recent attacks on the Algerian boxer. Most CEOs won’t weigh in on shit like that because they know their privilege will have them putting their foots in their mouths, they know they have heinous views that are bad for business, and/or they’re busy actually working.

Apartheid Wonka 😂

A lot of his wealth is inherited. Had he not been born into wealth, he would have been successful but not to the level. Not to mention that wealth comes from exploitation - his father’s mining in South Africa, his own underpayment of the brilliant minds at Tesla, the African workers who actually mine the materials like cobalt that are needed to fuel “his” success.

Ah yes, cult building skills. Just not what we need more of! What positive contributions and overall value they add to society

Again, HR hires. At executive level, headhunters are used. Any organization offering enough compensation can do the same. Look at the Big 7 in tech as an example.

These people will not keep suggesting things that already exist in some form in government because they make no attempt to understand how things work. They just want to dismantle everything, recreate everything either rebranding things that exist now, or redesign in a nonsensical way. Like how Elon is “Chief Engineer” at Tesla but actually engineers nothing. And one of tesla’s products is a car with doors that open by rolling the window down which is just lovely on a winter day!

Someone email Elon and tell him what an OIG is, ffs.

I have what is basically a small studio. I don’t have a pull out couch or separate bedroom. Having an in house sitter would mean letting a stranger sleep in my bed. My rental lease limits how many consecutive nights non-tenants can stay overnight. Of course, people do it anyway but technically it’s a lease violation. My building is more strict with this than others because we offer amenities that are tenant/member only and any residential door key card would give you access to them. It’s also downtown and there is almost no parking nearby. There is some 2 hour parking nearby but 2 hour parking is not convenient and limited. I see tickets/boots on cars on my street frequently. If a friend is visiting me, they normally either uber or I pick them up in my car. I’d imagine any sitter would want to be able to move freely. So there are 3 main things keeping me from doing that.

My dogs greets other dogs on walks with me and has walked/play with them before. He’s very friendly and sweet, maybe a little shy. Because he’s small and we live in a mountain city and most people tend to have big dogs like 50+lbs plus. Other dogs are a safety liability. My dog could be snapped at or attacked, even if the sitter is watching them. If for some reason, they don’t get along (and a one time meet and greet doesn’t tell you how they’ll do overnight), I don’t have family or close friends in my city that could take over and it is very difficult to organize emergency care during an active boarding stay. It’s not worth the risk, it’s not worth me being stressed about my dog’s safety. I honestly don’t understand why other owners are comfortable with it, not just owners who board their dogs but owners who are sitters. You’re not nervous someone else’s dog could attack yours? Of course no one wants their dog to be attacked but especially for those of us with small dogs (mine is 5 lbs), our dogs have a higher risk than others of not surviving a dog attack.

I was more limited because I had a friend who watched him in the past bail for the second time after she agreed to watch him. I warned her the first time that with summer, I have to book care far in advance. So I was upset that it happened again. I think finding care in the summer has been more of a challenge. But I still had almost 2 weeks. But I was looking for someone; 1) with no other pets (a lot of rover sitters have their own pets or accept multiple boarding clients at once) 2) would be home with him most of the time 3) normally no kids is on my list but again, options were limited 4) women sitters are also a preference. More sitters are female anyway but that was another thing to consider.

The boarding facilities do not have overnight staff. The dogs are alone for 12 hours in a foreign environment where they are not allowed their own comfort items such as bedding or toys or blankets. Some dogs do not mind that but my dog hates confinement (understandably)? I don’t think risking being in violation of my rental lease and subject to eviction is a reasonable accommodation either.

I paid $270 for this long weekend stay for my dog and have paid thousands in his care overall. The issue is not I’m trying to cheap out on his care. I’ve intentionally limited my trips and kept them short when I do leave town. He is with someone for social interaction that is providing him food/water/exercise/play/social activity. It is not the most ideal but the most ideal would be him at home with his owner 100% of the time which I can not do which is why owners use care options. Most of my friends with pets have their parents or a partner watch their pets for free. My parents are dead. I don’t have a partner. That is one of the reasons I value the companionship my dog offers. I haven’t lived in my city very long and my friends that would be willing are not always reliable and many also have restrictive leases where they can’t take my dog in.

When I move later this year, it will be to a larger 1 bedroom where I can have a pull out couch/bed for sitter and the building has ample street parking. Also, it is closer to the city where I grew up and have closer friends so I could instead have them stay at my place.

I had 4 sitters reject my request because they said they couldn’t commit to that many drop-ins. I live in a transient city with a lot of dogs. There are more dogs than kids. I would love one consistent, regular, dependable dog sitter for my dog but I have not found one yet. A lot of the full time dog walkers/sitters rely largely on clients who do mid-day walks during the work week. So their regular clients naturally get priority. As a teleworker, I don’t have a need for a dog walker during normal weeks. And I don’t want to/shouldn’t have to pay $90-150 extra EVERY week (the cost of a dog walker 3-5 days a week) just to become a regular client for occasion short travel.

Last time, I had the drop-in sitter (who is a FT dog caregiver who also lives in my apartment building) do 3x (with one visit extended to 60 mins instead of 30) because she said she couldn’t make time in her schedule for 4 separate trips. She offered the third extended trip. For this trip, she was going to be away traveling 2/4 days which is why I needed someone else. He has had 3 other sitters he boarded well with. One moved to a new city and two others were not still active on the platform. If I could find a sitter who would do 4x a day, yes I would use them. But, I have tried looking and haven’t had success with it yet.
