US government skulking in the corner furiously scribbling notes

What are you talking about? This is already overwhelmingly the reality in manufacturing (I really should go into detail how turbo fucked working manufacturing in the US is one of these days), service, and there's probably a couple other industries where this is the case.

The only times I've ever seen someone work 5 days or less out here in the rural area I live in, is either they're still living with their parents or have roommates, or they're like one of the most reliable workers at their workplace and thus their boss wants to keep them around and let's them have that.

This is pretty much reaffirming my position that the only mercy and compassion that evangelicals should ever get is the wall.

In actuality it was always about maintaining a legal and socially acceptable avenue for continuing this country's legacy of racism and slavery.

Sorta, in actuality it was created with the intent to get around the 1st amendment protections and silence the civil rights and anti war dissenters of the time, the relevant quote about this is below. After the Vietnam War ended and the Civil Rights Act got passed it turned into what you describe it is today.

"You want to know what this was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

Sounds more like everyone used [realname][number] as their password because IT decided that changing your password every couple months is the most "secure". Even though it's not and causes [realname][number] passwords in the first place.

So, how were each of your Corvettes best Corvette?

Meanwhile in manufacturing: "First time working 6 (or 7) days a week?"

edit: I sympathize with anyone having to work a 6th day in a week under normal circumstances, but tbh my ability to sympathize goes out the window when I'm staring down a 6 day week this week, and had a 7 day week last week.

Honest question, let's say you're a 29M who has never dated before or anything remotely close to it, and rather suddenly you have a 18F going around asking other people about you and generally sending the vibe that they want to date you, what should you do?

I'm asking because that actually happened to me, and I decided to just go along with it because partly why not and my dating life wasn't going to get any better doing with me nothing anyways.

Which is funny since if that scenario happens in the US (which is very rare as it would likely be 'sorted out' long beforehand), the construction company/developer will more often than not just run to city when they get fed up and next thing you know the holdout is being served papers for eminent domain.

Yes, but the best way to predict when a landlord increases the rent is usually tied to property value (which in turn influences property taxes). And the best way to tell if property value is going to go up is by paying attention to the kinds of stores opening up (or developments being built) in your neighborhood.

SF5 happened about 10 years in-universe before 6, and 3 happened in between 5 and 6.

Also Bison has "died" like at least a handful of times now.

In order from left to right. Wolverine, Archer, Warhammer, Griffin, Rifleman, Crusader.

It's pretty easy to guess if you know the Japan BT art didn't do any chassis past original printing of TRO 3025.

I've known that I should be going to therapy for years now, except I really just don't have the time to. To explain, I work night shift at a factory from 11pm to 7am, and I have to drive about 25mi one way to get there so I leave the house about 10pm to get there and get back home around 7:40. And I try to go to sleep about an hour after I get home, and how much sleep I get isn't exactly consistent, some days I get up at 4pm, some days it's 5pm, and most of the time it's normally 6pm by the time I actually get out of bed. Most places around here open anywhere from 8-9am and close from 5-6, so i'm already kinda SoL on scheduling alone.

And this isn't getting into the last time I tried to seek therapy, it wasn't really going well at all, and one time the therapist I was supposed to see had called in that day and the office didn't tell me until I got there, and told me that they'd call me to reschedule. It shouldn't take much to figure out what part didn't happen, but the therapist I was seeing was kinda on the path of thinking my whole problem was just that I just needed to get laid. Which comes back to op about what i said of the quality of therapists i've heard that we've got out here...

Oh yeah, that mental health office that did all that is the only one within 5 miles of me.
