I got a vasectomy as a way of dealing with it.

Oh damn, I’ve been wondering why to do with my extra box of stuffing.

I’m gonna try this this week. Sounds tasty.

1lb ground beef 2 cans sweet corn 2 cans of kidney beans Two cans diced tomatoes 1 can tomato paste Taco seasoning (I buy McCormicks from Costco so I have no idea how many packets)

In a large pot brown the beef Once browned open all cans and put them in the pot, juice and all Heat to simmer and add taco seasoning with your heart

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and/or some shredded cheese on top

Taco soup

Or be me as a kid

White bread Put ketchup on bread Put Kraft single on top Put in the oven under the broiler until the cheese melts and the edge of the bread crisps Eat it over the sink in order to not kill your mother by disrespecting the plates with that garbage Realize you’re still hungry and make 3 more

Mine sucks because it’s the best job I’ve ever had. Planned on staying as long as they’d keep me (just under 5 years it turns out) and had no plans at all to even poke around at other roles.

The silver lining is I’ll prob get a nice pay increase since I’ve been pretty underpaid at this place as it’s an NPO.

Reminds me of the time when I worked in a sprint retail store and one day we came in and the power was cut, there was no internet, and all our logins that we could access from our mobile devices worked.

We were told there was a clerical error and all was good.

Two months later when they were shutting down our store they admitted they were planning to shut down the store and were just two months early with the logistics.

Two nights ago I had a random meeting with the CEO, who I have a really good relationship with, added to my calendar. Thought nothing of it.

I entered the zoom call and said ‘so am I getting fired?’

The answer was yes.

Awkward silence ensued for a minute until they started telling me about the severance package.

Side note: I can try to negotiate that severance a bit right?

Oh yea. If fascism doesn’t kill us, AI will. We’re all fucked and we’ve known it since skynet entered the American psyche.

This is what I do. I don’t like the ingredients that make up antiperspirants so I stick with not stinking.

I generally don’t sweat too badly either, which helps.

Oh right, the person i described would never be a republican. Likely not a democrat either, but infinitely more likely to be.

I don’t want someone that ‘votes their convictions 100%’ any more than I want a party hardliner. That’s just a different kid of zealot. I want people that lead with their convictions and then vote contextually with a willingness to change, grow, and adapt.

It’s not a gratuity, but restaurants like this often don’t expect tips either. At least in my area.

Shredded kind. I was pretty disappointed since they weren’t exactly cheap. Worked really well for my ex wife though.

Wish I could crank my 401k. But I’m already having to work a second job to make ends meet. I’ve been sorely tempted to get that 4% back in my pocket for about a year now.

Grocery stores largely don’t have anti-theft sensors. Some in some very bad parts of town might, but for the most part if there’s self-checkout you can walk out with just about anything. Liquor I think will be the most common exception.

Typically the easiest way to get the five finger discount is to ring something up as an item that charges per pound that’s significantly cheaper than the item you’re buying. Closest I’ve done to that is to buy two donuts but only ring up one lol. I’m too much of a rule follower and anxious about getting caught.

And you def won’t go to jail for light shoplifting. Though some places like Walmart or Target track you and don’t do anything until you’re at a felony level of theft. So if you do steal, best not to do it repeatedly at the same store.

And my 11 axes!

I’ve tried a couple and they give me the worst migraines. I just can’t do them. :(

Seconding the vacuum sealer.

I’m still frustrated by the sorting on lemmy and still have to use top 24 hour to feel like my feed is current. I feel like I don’t get breaking news as quickly as I did on Reddit a that frustrates me and leads me to lurk /r/all occasionally.

Mastadon has all the content I want but no people in the places I’m at. Feels very empty.

Out of curiosity, are you still a practicing Mormon?
