I had a buddy who teed himself up for your mom jokes constantly. I swung and hit pretty much every time.

One evening he had enough and blew up. "God, you're such a dick! You must be the biggest dick in the fucking world!"

"Well, I fit in your mom just fine, so I don't see what the problem is."

Pretty terrible graphic

There are a lot people who don't like it and see it as unprofessional.

My spouse who is asleep knows a lot more about this, but off the dome:

Social Security retirement benefits are an entirely different system than social security disability insurance. SSDI shouldn't be dependent on hours worked, but on disability status.

A few things to note about SSDI: there are very stringent income limits while on it. You will be severely constrained in your living standards. What you get isn't really adjusted for local cost of living, so you may be alright, or you may struggle to pay rent and eat.

Initial rejections are the norm. It generally takes two years to go through the appeal, rejection, re-appeal cycle. A good disability lawyer will smooth this out but the time frame is not going to shrink to less than a year. I would not depend on this for a car or school.

If you are unable to work enough to support yourself, I think it's worth pursuing, but SSDI is designed to keep people from using it as a stepping stone to better circumstances.

Wish I had better news/advice. Good luck, comrade!

Building bombs is shameful.

I love Re-animator so much. Splatstick mad doctor sorceror's duel starring Jeffrey Combs

Nah.

Equilibrium's character arc hinged on the idea that murdering puppies is bad. It's not exactly deep.

Knapping.

Wait, I mean napping.

I don't buy that shit and I live in the US.

Caroline Rose was absolutely stellar live. I don't normally like that level of produced pop.

Holy Wave went from background muzak on recordings to euphoric vibes live.

"Obviously cool."

Touch grass, nerd.

Reminder: Biden still put immigrant kids in fucking cages. He just didn't brag about it.

You voted for that, you morally bankrupt imbecile. You told the system that you wanted that.

Moderated consumption is a valid goal that many aim for- it's the 12-step programs that make this taboo, but their success rate isn't stellar.

I've been dialing back as I approach forty. I was in a band during my late 20s through mid 30s, and was drinking 2-5 beers a night (25 a week) pretty easy. That's not heavy alcoholic level, but even at the time I knew that was more than was healthy. Now I'm aiming for 5 drinks a week, and have been hitting that goal half the time. When I miss that goal, it's only by a few, so that is still a drastic improvement over where I was.

The things I try to keep in mind are impact and enjoyment. How am I affected by my level of consumption? (Heartburn, cost, grumpy when I can't have it.) Am I enjoying myself when I do drink? At my height, no, I just wanted something carbonated and malty. Now I do enjoy the drinks I have- and put a lot of intentionality and anticipation into what I select.

It sounds like you're well on the way to a healthier relationship with alcohol, keep it up! Stressing about the missed goals isn't as helpful as focusing the next one, so don't beat yourself up. You're already doing better than you have, and know how to get where you want.

The genocide is literally stopping

With the genocide in Gaza, people would be more likely to recognize him as head of that Jewish organization than as an MP.

But then those prisoners aren't allowed to be hired by professional fire crews after release.

Theu can't apply the skills they learn.

If you don't pay a bunch extra for some sort of certified mail, you don't have proof of mailing and they can ignore you.

Not legally, but also yes legally.

Seems worse for folks to not even realize their data was leaked

Generally, 800-1000 is the market minimum, with 2000 being very common

The people who don't like predator reintroduction are very different than the people who don't like hunting.
