  ROFL so instead of taking me directly to these supposed job postings, you link me random Internet garbage that says they exist with the same credibility that you have. Which is none.

  Meanwhile friends of mine have protested and not gotten paid anything. But they are probably Illuminati.

  Mount Rushmore was a cover up.

  Where do I get one of these paid protest jobs? Do I need to be on the Illuminati Newsletter?

  Fifty Five Iron Penned

  Another idea to add to the pile, Google your county’s “board of elections” and I think you’ll probably find some resources and where the finalized ballots will be ahead of the election date.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Or even overcompensating in the other direction in order to avoid the appearance of favoritism.

  I did briefly mention that, yes, straws definitely help! I would recommend them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people hate drinking water?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, I wish. As far as I know, this isn’t a well documented thing, my PCP was kinda like, “huh, that’s interesting, I wonder how many people are dehydrated because of that.”

  The only reason I discovered this is cuz my girlfriend knows me very very well and she suspected there was something off. So she asked me probing questions until we discovered I’m literally drinking incorrectly.

  So the best I can do is give you a couple of different ways to drink and see if you notice any difference in how easy or difficult it is to comfortably drink without ingesting air.

  So first thing we did was have me drink from a bottle. Any bottle where you can form a full seal around the opening with your mouth. Tilt back and let the fluid fill your mouth as much as possible before starting to swallow. That should mean a very minimal amount of air in the first gulp, and no additional air in each subsequent gulp because it’s sealed.

  Contrast that with drinking from a normal glass, and you may find that you’re gulping down air as you’re drinking with each gulp. In that case, a straw will probably prevent you from doing that.

  But really drinking from a bottle really illustrated the mechanical difference to me and made me realize my hatred for drinking was definitely born of a physical discomfort which was ultimately from a poor technique.

  And after I thought about it, I was like ya know, no one really ever taught us how to drink did they? We all just figure it out, and assume we all learned the same lessons.

  This might have all been the biggest factor in me never really being into drinking alcohol, because the very concept always sounded like a chore to me.

  Anyway, I hope that helps!

  I only recently found out I have literal bad technique when it comes to drinking fluids, end up inadvertently swallowing too much air which makes it an unpleasant experience. Combined with ADHD and I’m a poster child for dehydration. Not that I experience much issues, but my skin is definitely dry.

  I used to but now I’m using a very thin case from Latercase. I’d say cases are the norm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF is a rural town in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  NY has towns and villages. A township is way larger than a village. For example the Town of Huntington vs the incorporated Village of Lloyd Harbor within the town. We also have hamlets, like Huntington Village, which are similar but unincorporated.

  However, all of this I’d consider suburban, not rural.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can wheels within wheels this shit for eternity. Answer this question and you’ll have the answer. What do you want to do? Do that.

  You can steal it, buy it, borrow it, whatever. Ultimately there is no objective right answer. If you think you’ll be better equipped to counter argue the message by reading it, I say that’s more honorable than arguing against it without knowing what it is.

  Eh you’re right, they would monetize the shit out of it and make it pay to win like everything else.

  I wonder if there is a fragment of a good idea in there. Maybe a dating app that like queues up men and doesn’t let the next one out of the queue until the active person gets matched to someone.

  Though that sounds pretty slow and not enough dopamine in using the app to keep people on it.

  Maybe not a single man, but some small amount so it is known that you can’t just screen for the 1% of dream guys. Like it you only get 5 swipes, maybe you won’t be as ready to dismiss everyone immediately.

  Whatever, I’m sure there are teams of psychologists working for all those companies that have all this crap dialed in for max profit and engagement.

  That’s just self sabotage talking. Knowing about a problem is step one and it’s what gets you in the door.

  Just because you know you’ve got a broken pipe doesn’t mean you don’t need a plumber, just because you know your car is broken doesn’t mean you don’t need a mechanic, etc. There’s nothing wrong with someone helping you being a job. That doesn’t mean they won’t do that job.

  The main point of therapy is to get you to look at your circumstances in different ways and provide you with coping skills you may not necessarily have developed. You may even be unaware of whatever current maladaptive coping mechanisms you’ve built up over years of just trying to survive. This is where outside professional perspective comes in handy.

  However! That’s not to say therapy is a bulletproof process or that all therapists are good or that every therapist is a good fit for every person. I would liken it to finding your preferred barber or massage therapist or something. Sometimes you just got to try options till something works.

  Could be both! But yeah, I think humans are curious by nature and need to exercise their problem solving muscles, regardless of what topic of interest. An engineer will be solving problems using math and physics, but a musician or a poet will have their own problems to be solved in their respective areas using the tools of their crafts.

  Life’s a hell of a trip man. I was 34 before getting diagnosed with ADHD, which made my entire life suddenly made sense. Oh, turns out I have narcolepsy too, and I’ve been punished for my sleep patterns and issues my entire childhood. Who knew narcolepsy isn’t necessarily how it’s portrayed in movies?

  I think the highest I’ve heard someone claim their share price based on actual profitablity was around $100 or so, which is still far lower than current.

  Do you know what the value should be considering it’s PE and whatnot? And whatever that is, is going to take a dive once the sales impacts are fully felt in the coming quarters. International sales are going to evaporate. Domestic probably as well. Prices going to increase from tariffs and supply chain issues. And competitors are making them look amateur in terms of build quality. Oh and Cyber Truck.
