For many that is probably true. For others who are hopeless romantics, we run 40 hour a week jobs from 16-18 while balancing a girl friend, trying to run through courses and turn out decent grades and a social life going into college while averaging 4 hours sleep a night. It's fun at the time, but I really wish I would have learned more about taking time for myself and planning out next steps for myself as opposed to just thrusting into as many syllabus hours, while balancing it all going into college. I didn't do bad at the University I went to, but really if I learned to step back and not be facing every challenge at the last minute all the time I think it would have prepped me for planning more of what to do with my time when I'm out of college.

Like get a Job, sure that's a requirement... But that isn't a career to me. A career is planned things you strive for and goals set by yourself to make sure you want to land yourself.

When the courses are done, the hours worked, the goals met. I never learned how to properly make my own goals, just how to follow boring structural requirements... Because you're told you have too. And if you don't come from money, you can't exactly just get a loan to start a company or buy a house because you have a degree... You are 10's of thousands in student loan debt. So you enter a dead end job otherwise you can't pay the rent, and maintain a relationship, help your family, or whatever other obligations you feel you have.

The better advice for me would have been not get in relationships for much of my younger years. Sub 18 year relationships only really were distractions. Fun though

It's always the nearest chair for me if I can't reach, but to be honest the only one I couldn't reach I didn't put back up. It was on the wall separating the kitchen, so I kind of just set it on a table at the end of the wall, it not being on the wall at height is probably a negative, but I figured if it is closer to where the smoke has to wrap around the wall, it balances out.

I've tested it by making smash burgers... Still sets the damn thing off every time.

Also make me stop making smash burgers, because I was tired of moving the smoke detector outside, which my spouse seems to think is not the proper way to deal with to much smoke in the kitchen

Slam on the brakes to assert you are a power bottom, hope for a love tap

I don't see how an act of Congress could do it for the same legal reasons Trump can't "nationalize" elections, and the same reason I believe the supreme Court upheld this.

The States have the right to organize how votes are performed, but no one in the U.S. has a right to vote in reality. They have a right to not be discriminated against during voting.

Let's say Florida decided they won't have a popular vote for president and the currently elected representatives vote on the electors.

Every person in Florida just lost their right to vote, but they did not discriminate in doing so, and it could be legal. The residents would have to be pissed at their State government for allowing such a vote to pass.... But federally, it could be constitutional.

Gerrymander remapping has been deemed unconstitutional in other states specifically because they were trying to manipulate representation of certain races to change the results.

I guess they are arguing the Scouts arent educational or work. As both work and education have laws banning discrimination based on sex if they receive federal funding.

No, I used to drag out lucid dreams for long times on purpose, but the times when I can't see anything, like say struggle to picture what a spoon looks like in my head outside of just wrote memory, no idea. Or id definitely turn that off as much as possible. The gaps where I can't see much I find I am definitely unhappier.

Edit: those are times when I find myself just closing my eyes struggling to sleep just looking at almost static, trying to picture someone's face I can get to about a half circle that will seem obscured by black without even being able to picture their likeness.

I don't know much about the topic, but I know my brain goes through cycles(?) maybe. Sometimes I can visualize everything, close my eyes and just picture and create what I want. Lucid dreams whatever. Other times I'll weeks/ months without being able to make a singular image

How do you see that playing out?

Subject A says, "Ron told me he committed a crime"

Subject B says "I'm suing you for divulging information that should be covered by the NDA"

It would be admitting that the statement occurred. Thus now the entire NDA is void, and those court records can be used as testimony in a criminal investigation.

I just had to look up what a 5th point harness was, we didn't have seatbelts on school buses most of the time. If we did, they were usually one strap that covered the entire bench for multiple people.

How are you guys supposed to hit your head on the roof going over a speed bump with harnesses like that?

Kind of wish we lived in a society where we didn't need them

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

No an NDA can't cover withholding information about a crime. Asking someone to not divulge information under an NDA pertaining to a crime, is in itself a crime/an unenforceable nda

What is Love? (lemmy.world)

Love is the raw unequivocal symbiotic resonance between an entity and everything around it.

Love isn't for another entity, it is for everything; and the understanding that choice must be derived from what you understand to be greatest for that truth.

------++++++++++

If that's how I define love to myself, what is your definition, what are your differences?

I was trying to throw together some quick items to have something for dinner later. Some penne was left, some rotini was left, had some hot sausage I meant to use for a pizza the other day, but the spouse didn't want sausage that day, whatever, make a quick dish.

Cook the bottom of the box penne and rotini, throw the sausage in a pan, season/brown in, throw it into the pot of drained pasta.

Take the sausage juice/fat and add flour to it to start a roux. Everything seems good, poor in the last of the milk.. wait, was that thick. Crap it smells off, check the jug, best by January 7th. Son of a b, can't get that sausage fat back to start over, and the milk is gone. Looking for liquids because I don't have any broth or such in the pantry. Ugh

 

Old cameras but they have been sitting.

What can I use to record and ensure the data is saved locally. Nothing serious, just chickens being accused of hurting plants when they are monitored. I just want to catch whatever it is (deer? Etc?) eating it so I can have evidence it isn't them

 

Basic: 20ft x 10ft chicken coop being attacked by loose blue pit bulls. (Weight 60,80 lbs malle and female). I'm trying to address the problem by finding the owners and what not but I first saw them 3 weeks ago. Tried to break in and I told them to stop, they listened and left. They came back today between 2-4pm and broke in and the one rooster that was there (missexed at birth) fought them off, died doing so. It is a very low gauge wire surround the pen, chickens aren't to strong. After the situation I reinforced the entrance where they broke in with higher(lower) gauge wire to about 2.5 ft it's what I had available. They came back at 11pm and broke in above it. I had to let one of the dogs out of the door so they could leave. I don't wish to shoot the dogs, and am dealing with it on other fronts... I was hoping maybe someone had cheap ideas I could use to reinforce the pen in case they come back before the issue is sorted. As a gun owner, I never want guns to be the answer

 

Local news I suppose, but a family friend said it woke them up this morning.

 

Would prefer it to not be "hair" 'makeup" girlish oriented, but rather something challenging for her mind. I am her Uncle, and would like something maybe aimed at DIY outside of Lego if you know what I mean. Budget is small, maybe 39.99? Can move either way if needed

Advice, much needed as a 36 y/o male with no kids

 

I haven't used bazzite before but was looking into handhelds for my spouse and was curious if anyone has installed bazzite on a GPD Win 4, I heard some kinks hadn't been worked out with SteamOS on that hardware so I was curious about people's experiences. Or rather is that hardware more than needed? Would she be better off with a unit that comes with SteamOS for cheaper as it runs everything you have thrown at it?

 

The article left me with more questions than answers but at least it is an attempt.

For one, is a single axel propelling the entire rig at that point?

 

Bold claims, but that energy density would be amazing.

 

Recent games: 2016...

 

"But tires"

Ban all vehicles over 5000lbs to start without a specialized license and extremely heavy fees to have them. EVs are dropping in weight daily, ICE vehicles have been increasing in weight to dodge policies. One is a means to an end, the other is a means to profit.

Profit for few vs humanity's existance.. which should we choose?

 

Water Usage - My power/water company popped up showing my water usage from December 2023 vs 2024, it claims I used 24 gallons last year and 13 gallons this December. That can't be right... how much water do you use each month?

I fill water for chickens outside, water two small garden plots, obviously dishes, showers, toilet, bidet, and the washer machine should be using a lot more than that...
