Arkansas: It's the Alabama of Floridas!

I'm in the Indianapolis area, and we do have public transit... though I don't know why.

I kept putting it off... I wanted it when I was 20 but couldn't afford it. I still wanted it at 30, but didn't want to spend the money. At 40 I finally had more than enough in my HSA to cover my annual deductable, so I scheduled it. And I've LOVED it! However, around 45 I noticed that my near sight isn't as good as it has been. Now at 48 I'm realizing that I'll soon need reading glasses.

I still think it was worth it... but I REALLY wish I had done it in my 20s so I could have enjoyed going glasses free for all those years.

I'm loving the juxtaposition of the headlines:

it's important to master blood magic and necromancy, so you can make use of the whole body

Isn't this the main tenant of Christianity?

He really went off the deep end when Grimes dumped him. I'm not saying he didn't have issues before, but his compete public persona changed when their relationship ended. When his relationship with Amber Herd ended her did an interview with Rolling Stone where he was crying and talking about how life just isn't worth doing anything of you aren't in love. I think he really thought that with Grimes he found his true soulmate. My guess is that once she became a mother she realized that he isn't someone she wants raising her children and she broke his heart and he's gone full incel now.

One day she will be free of him and she's going to tell her story. I can't wait to hear it.

Yeah, I know it was a mistake but the responsible thing is to carry that campaign full term.

Soul crushing.

Worked at a place for 16 years, made many close friends there, helped the company grow from a $2M company into a $2B company. Then one day they decided that it looked like they might not be add profitable in the coming quarter so they needed to cut 20% of the company. I was my family's sole provider and now wasn't sure how we were going to survive. I did get a nice severance of 6 months pay, but only 3 months of COBRA coverage. I was very fortunate to find a better paying job a little over 3 months later. Financially it was a good thing for us, but mentally I'm pretty fucked up now. I've never had anxiety issues but now I'm on 2 different medications for it. I'm depressed. I hate my new job and coworkers. I have no joy in work. I know if I get laid off again that I won't get nearly as good of a severance package. I realize that my lifestyle only exists as long as my employer chooses to keep me employed. I feel like I not only have no safety net, but if I fall I take my family with me. It sucks.

The letter said that after one Microsoft outreach on July 22, a "Delta employee replied, saying 'all good. Cool will let you know and thank you.' Despite this assessment that things were 'all good,' public reports indicate that Delta canceled more than 1,100 flights on July 22 and more than 500 flights on July 23."

"Rise chicken!"

I was laid-off in 2022 and got a pretty nice severance, and my new job pays 40% more. I wish I had known how relatively quickly I was going to find another job because I would have enjoyed my time off a lot more. I personally don't know anyone who has been laid-off and ended up worse off.

The best part is, it sounds like they arrested him and seized his guns, all without a shot being fired.

I would love to know why this guy felt he needed so many guns and ammo, because obviously it wasn't to protect himself from a hostile government.
