Anybody giving you that advice did not follow it themselves and probably works at somewhere that their friends or family set them up with.

My advice to anybody job seeking who is dejected is just watch the monologue from the Far Cry 3 guy who quotes Einstein about how doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity, and feel better than listening to some corporate shill who's being disingenuous.

Personally I'm far more concerned with the amount of sauce I've been seeing on pizza than people's choice of toppings, but i honestly don't mind pineapple. The right amount and I find it a nice sweet flavor that goes nice with spicy toppings like jalapeno.

On the sauce thing, It's getting to the point where it's easier to list places that don't just give you cheesy bread with a microscopic level of sauce because apparently that's the norm around here.

Clearly it's trying to compensate for the lack of a ground harness.

Nellis AFB in Fallout New Vegas functions pretty much how you are saying.

Ethan Demsky. If you want more people to spot a guy who says he's "manifestly a Nazi" is probably a decent option, if not for his views but for the college that rewarded and emboldened him.

Yes I'm sure you've never heard of the American national anthem that still calls the US the land of the free during all of this. I brought up hazardous heat conditions and tied that into this new policy to point out a criticism of America. I brought up the fact that the national anthem calls it the land of the free to point out hypocrisy.

So far you haven't done anything other than try and tell me that 11pm isn't night for some reason and to criticize me for pointing out the words of the national anthem.

So what exactly is your point here? What issue do you have with what I have been saying?

So you think that Canada is in the south? This is a discussion about the southern border wall.

Yes I've heard of night just like I said in the quoted text people were getting severe burns and needing to be hospitalized because they were not expecting the gate to their house to be that hot at nearly midnight.

As someone who lives somewhere that just got up to 120° f hot metal is no joke. We had a ton of people hospitalized a few years back because they went to open gates to their homes and weren't expecting scolding hot metal when it was already like 11pm.

I'm not going to hate this because it's a idea that doesn't work, I'm going to hate it because it's just another method to harm people who want to come to the land of the free. On top of it border states like to charge people for leaving out water so just anything they can possibly do to be vindictive and hateful I guess.

Could still be obeying them. Maybe it's taking energy from something that we otherwise wouldn't notice or be able to get energy from

Honestly I think you should just be kind of straightforward with them and let them know that at home you were doing fine but once you are over there you're basically going through a Year's worth of savings eating out like that. I would say to be clear with them on that point and as long as you've gotten that through then that's what you needed to get through to them.

Maybe they will have time to think about it and realize the situation they are putting you in or maybe they won't. Either way you shouldn't need to overspend to be around them.

If they realize what's going on and change then good, you will be able to continue to see them and have them in your life, but if not I think it's probably best to just keep the relationship long distance with them.

I've noticed that talking to people that some common tropes seem to come up when topics like socialism come up.

Basically I hear a lot of defense of capitalism that boils down to capitalism is good because "I personally benefit". As well as "I've heard bad things about socialism", ie taxes are too high in countries with good healthcare and social programs.

I wanted to know if other people have these issues come up in conversation and if people more well spoken than me have a way of getting through the road blocks and have some easy starting points for discussing things with people.

I feel like propaganda and fear mongering have placed a divide that make talking about things harder

 

My landlord has a storage closet in the house and he told his friend to come in today while I was at work. The front door has a deadbolt so rather than using the side door he jumped in through my bedroom window and went and got whatever from the storage and left.

My landlord texted me to tell me he was very disappointed that this is the second time in a row that I was not allowing access for his random friends and family to come over and check on the place (last time I actually was at the doctor's office when apparently his mom couldn't get in without more than 1 hours notice).

He's sending over his mother in the morning which he messaged me at 9pm. I really want to just leave the deadbolt unlocked and just call the cops and tell them she's trespassing when she shows up.

Also the icing on the cake of all of this is apparently the thing that his friend was coming to get was a gun that he was storing with my landlord because he is a prohibited possessor, not allowed to have guns because he has domestic violence charges.

Update: The mom did end up coming over. She started saying she's in charge now and went back and forth about asking me to do maintenance on the outside of the property that I'm not responsible for and just talking bs I said that they can just evict me if they want and then started screaming up until I said "If there isn't anything else can you please go". That made her pretty irate and she said she was calling the cops.

She started tossing things around the kitchen and I went into my room locked it and called the cops. They showed up in about a minute and asked her to leave and she said that the whole reason that she had came there was for a piece of furniture or something. They took her over to a couch that was probably bigger than her car and she tried dragging it for about 3 feet then said she doesn't need it and left.

The landlord ended up messaging me afterwards telling me I was never a tenant here and he's going to get proof and then asked if I could be out in a few weeks.
