It’s really not even advice. It’s just self aggrandizement and dumbass people looking for a circle jerk to join. It doesn’t address the issue that OP has in the slightest practical way, and is kind of callus to their actual problem.

I have no problem with unions and I’m extremely pro-union. I’m also practical and not naive enough to think that you can join a union in every job. They don’t exist for a lot of jobs at all and you have to be very diligent to be able to form one without losing your job from unjustly being fired.

What I hate is people giving shitty advice so they can feel superior. “Join a union” is great advice if your job/field already has one. “Join a union” when someone has a work dispute with their clearly non-union employer is idiocy and belittling to the person that is asking the question. I made the analogy above, so I’ll turn your question on its head, do you think depressed people should just try to be happy? Because it’s the same level of advice as, “Join a union” in this instance.

Holy fuck you all are a bunch of callous assholes. Telling someone to “join a union” or “ask your union” about it are fucking mental. Do you really think OP is working a union gig or are you really that stupid to think you just go out to the union store and ask for one union card? How is this helpful to anyone who is in a non-union job working for a non-union company. I’ll bet you all are the same people that tell depressed people to “just be happy.” It’s just useless, if not ourtright malicious, advice to give someone.

Dude it wasn’t a joke 10 years ago. They were just racist insane asshats back then too. 10 years ago is like right on the edge of pizzagate and the rise of qanon. A dude shot up a pizzaria 9 years ago because of shit on 4chan and 8chan.

You might have thought it was a joke, but people were taking that shit very seriously on the other end of your keyboard.

In almost every case in fictional writing it’s better to make up a poison then use a real one. That way you don’t have someone picking it apart later. Also you can give it whatever properties you want/need. Now excuse me while I continue to work on my immunity to iocane powder.

Your username doesn’t make me feel awesome about getting in a Nissan or Ford built after 2016.

I’m not entirely convinced that Highlander 2 wasn’t written on the back of the same straw wrapper they used to write Gremlins 2.

) You trying to throw a syntax error buddy?

I think most foods. Soup, stew, and some sauces I’m fine with reheated/leftover. I still think it changes the flavor though and for sure screws with the texture. Air fryer/convection ovens make some things okay to reheat but again still screws with flavor/texture. I personally just would rather make meals fresh.

Some people just prefer meal prepping and that’s fine. There’s also a fairly sizable contingent of people that if you asked them if they could just take a pill instead of eating they would be perfectly happy doing so. It’s just not for me. I personally really like to cook and I also enjoy eating the things I cook. So I’m kind of on the other side of that spectrum.

See I grew up eating a lot of frozen stuff and I think that’s why I don’t like it. But you’re right it’s totally a matter of opinion. I also really enjoy cooking so that helps.

I think meal prepping sucks donkey balls and most food that is meal prepped tastes like crap after its sat in the fridge/freezer. I have been personally attacked on more than one occasion for bringing this up so I just don’t anymore.

Ohhhhhh. I should’ve guessed that. Sorry can be a bit dense sometimes.

Who the hell is space karen?

No problem. Have a good one!

Wasn’t really looking to fight you on your personal choices. Just thought it was interesting and relevant to the post. You do you…

I’ve never had anything but the short version personally. I always just filled it out cause it takes all of 5 minutes. You raise sort of a curious question though and it does appear that answering all the questions is mandatory. Apparently, at least according to the source below, they use statistical methods to fill in questions left blank. Also, again according to the source below, no one has been prosecuted since 1970 for failure to fill out a census. With that in mind they’re probably fine sending in scribblings, but they might send an agent to their door after 5 mailings to do the enumeration in person.

Oh man, I had gone down a red herring with it not long ago. I figured it was because of the original Hungarian Blood Oath/Contract. Good info! I’ll update my sovcit lore accordingly.

Really it’s just a misunderstanding of contract law. While it’s getting less common, because of esignatures growing in popularity, wet ink signatures used to be required on some contracts. Which is really someone just physically making a mark on a physical piece of paper. Basically sovcits decided that “wet ink” applied to everything, which I can assure you is not the case.

Here’s some more actual info about wet ink signatures:

Debt in general really. If these people just ran around yelling, “I don’t know you! That’s my purse!”, and kept paying their debts I don’t think I’d really have much of an issue with them.

Bottom one is from the US census. Which you’re required by federal law fill out (specifically written in the US Constitution). I don’t know if anyone would actually come after you for not filling it out, but I’m pretty sure writing crazy shit all over it and returning it would raise some red flags…
