@JesseKellyDC Data centers might be going over better if they weren't getting shoved into rural America's back yards, often with deals made before anyone in the town had heard about it.
@Godfatherparte2 "Our people work damn hard. Show some respect. Seriously. Don't be cheap. It's embarrassing." ..... pays their employees $2.13/hr
Maybe if you can't afford to pay minimum wage, you can't afford employees.
@simongerman600 Lucky to get to be home with the kids, yes. But-
Full-time housekeeper = Job
Full-time nanny = Job
... somehow only counts as work if you're paying someone else to do it.
@simongerman600 1. Do this while pregnant, nursing (through the night), and chasing a toddler.
2. Homeschool and/or homework and sports. Figure out dinners in between.
3. 24/7/365
4. Get used to being told you're lucky you don't have to work, and if you burn out or get behind, you're just lazy.
@OwenGregorian Those crabs are delicious. I think a fair number of people would pay good money to take them off Italy's hands.
... Also, don't octopi eat mussels and clams too?
@joeroganhq During COVID, I was scared. So, I was listening to everything I could. Trump live. Fauci live. News. Every update I could get. But then I noticed, the media coverage of what I'd just heard Trump say live was not simply biased. It was inaccurate. And never corrected.
@SusieM414141 Clock in, know exactly how your day is going to go, no customer drama, no bouncing between crises, chat with the person next to you, take a mental vacation, clock out.... I miss having this kind of job.
@BowTiedTrance Thank you for providing a harbor in the storm. That story has really been something else.
Couple of decades in with my best friend. Learned together how to be proper adults. Still learning. It's been a wild and wonderful adventure.
@kylenabecker Some, if not all, of the commercial pharmacies are able to see what vaccines the customer is "due" for and have quotas and incentives to get them jabbed.
@HannahFrankman Parents at work, kids at school, babies at daycare. Extended family often far away. You try alone to figure it all out in time, to pack in as much quality time as you can as the clock ticks down to when the kids will move far away too, and be alone like you were.
@asanwal Told my dog yesterday that his ancestors were hunting wild game in packs, living out in the woods, and traveling for miles across the country. He's just being asked to sit for kibble. Embarrassing, really. He should be grateful.
@MarcheseMethods Five kids, and the oldest is 7. Absent any twins, that might be 7, 5, 3, 1, and newborn. Besides the 24 hour nature of those days with infants, impressive there's time to dedicate to drying and prepping a turkey while the toddlers and babies play in the other room.
@allie__voss Yes. Absolutely.
I have witnessed a group of women grow from two friends helping a woman process chickens to a group of a dozen and growing. They all keep inviting more friends to the surprisingly pleasant day of chatting and working together, even despite the job.
@XStrangeHistory I was never good at predicting what his takes would be. I don't think I understood him well enough to say with any confidence what he truly believed. But I think simulation requires simulator, so at least broadly they can go together.
@JackPosobiec Coming to a breaking point under the hormones and lack of sleep happens. A person already at her limit will be pushed over by the spike of stress from the baby's cry. It can look like that. Supporting a murderer is wrong. Pretending new mothers don't struggle is also wrong.
@OwenGregorian Expensive, degrading, intrusive into unrelated personal information, and half the time requires more visits/ online research to correct the half-assed mistakes of the first visit.
