One major downside of my current job is that every rotation includes 7 night shifts in a row, culminating in 2 12-hour shifts over the weekend. Let me tell you, that last shift is brutal.
I do prefer this rotation over previous ones, but I still have 5 hours left in this shift and I am TIRED.

I just discovered today (because I am not very prolific on here and typically have interactions of only 1-3 posts) that if you reply to a popular person, you will get notified for the ENTIRE CONVERSATION that other people have about that thread even when they're just chatting amongst themselves.

I'd drop down to a part-time job (I doubt UBI would be enough to fully cover my mortgage) and focus on my little fam and my writing during my free time.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

I'm re-watching The Pretender, because apparently what my brain needs is quasi-psychopathic montage sequences of terrible people receiving poetic justice comeuppance in a series of increasingly unlikely scenarios.
Anyway, Andrea Parker is a smokeshow.

I tried to read through the quoted post, and I have concluded I need to log off the internet forever because I can no longer tell who's being sincere and who's being sarcastic in that thread. /o\
only on this app will you have someone admonish another person over their exclusionary attitude and end it by calling them a plebian, cannot believe we get this for free
Because criticizing grammar is ableist bullshit most likely. You ARE an arrogant SOB.
Doubly so, given not a single part of your post follows traditional Western grammar rules.
Plebeian.

Did Kenvue Inc.'s CEO run over Trump's dog or something? I don't understand the sudden vendetta against Tylenol/acetaminophen.

At what point are we going to admit that the Notwithstanding Clause is no longer a "rarely used provision," since every single fucking Conservative government has used or is planning to use it to trample on the Charter rights of their constituents?
Why do we even have a "hidden fascism" clause?

The "good" news about undergoing an extended period of major personal stressors (moving/illness/partner surgeries/renovations/visiting relatives/financial crises/etc.) is that I've had very little time to spend on the internet, and therefore I am a lot less stressed about The Horrors.

Decided to finally read a Tom Clancy novel (The Hunt for Red October) and, uh, do ALL his books have this much info dumping/"As you know, Bob"-ing? Because Dear Lord, I feel like I'm reading bargain basement Victor Hugo with submarines.

Well, The Old Guard 3 had a very singularly annoying thing happen. Cannot say I appreciated that.
Otherwise it was pretty solid, but nowhere near as compelling as the first movie.

#Ottawa Public Health decided to go from daily checking of water contamination levels to once-weekly beginning the week of 21st June.
After heavy rains, they recommend that *you* look for dead fish, algae, & cloudy waters.
They're maintaining PH as an oxymoron.

Friends who deal with anxiety, how on earth do you handle daily, multi-hour panic attacks when you have absolutely no choice but to be productive?
I am moving in two days and am very not ready, and the sudden onset panic attacks are seriously hindering my packing progress.

I must have been some sort of criminal in a past life, because it honestly feels like I am being punished for having the audacity to try to buy a house. Why can't things just go smoothly for ONE DAY?

Reskeet with the five shows you would be happiest to have to rewatch over and over for the rest of your life, as your sole TV diet.
Oof, this one is hard.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (the Jeremy Brett version)
Babylon 5
Campion (although I am sad there are only two seasons)
Leverage

I decided to watch The Handmaid's Tale (don't come for me about white woman fantasies, I KNOW the history on which it's based). I had watched the first two seasons when they aired six-ish years ago, and then stopped because it felt uncomfortably close to torture porn. 🧵
