Yeah seriously This is Not Safe For Work because my boss just walked by and saw this over my shoulder and now I'm fired.
Whoooo? Are you not allowed to name names?
Are you still double-dipping in reddit?
Hey I hope you enjoy it! This feeling of freedom balanced with a bit of adrenaline & uncertainty is exhilarating. I've been living like this for 5 years uninterrupted, and the mere thought of ever going back to living in a house or apartment makes me feel claustrophobic. I love living in a van. Pure freedom. The only requirements are staying afloat in life enough to keep maintaining the van and keeping everything legal and clean and we are free to roam! Free to live anywhere we want.
I find it further humorous that their word for fan was basically ventilator so it was translated as "Lana Del Rey standing in front of a ventilator"
Don't you think someone with a brain tumor should be taken out of the workforce and put in hospice care? Not being out on the street as a police officer, this is disgusting
Do you suppose their sexual interaction attempts are equally low-energy and anticlimactic?
A beautiful video game made by someone who quit working for Bethesda. He's a solo, self-published developer. Let me guess, You have no conscience that would stand in the way of stealing from him either.
Since around the 1940s and the 1950s scientists and Engineers have definitely kept progressing. Do you think all that human experimentation by the Nazis Etc came to nothing? No. Much was learned & implemented.
Scientists & engineers are keeping a ton of technology proprietary while they've also figured out how to hypnotize the plebian masses into being consumers, entertainment-seekers, and obedient ignorant workers.
All that's happening here is a bunch of computer nerds have figured out how to get things for free, and declare they have the right to steal things simply because they can.
Same thing as all the looters in California who know that they can steal up to $1,000 of merchandise from any brick and mortar store, with no consequences. So gangs of kids in black hoodies are going into stores and filling up their bags and running out the door with $999 of unpaid merchandise per kid, and there's nothing any of the store clerks can do, and the police won't even come out to intervene.
So now all the stores can do is lock up all the merchandise behind plexiglass cases and now any normal Shopper has to ask a store employee to unlock each item they want to purchase, and the employee has to carry it to the front of the store until the customer pays for it.
Is this the kind of world you want to live in?
I mean I kinda wish we could go back to the days when people's hands were cut off when they're caught stealing. That might incentivize people to stop stealing stuff that other people produced for sale in order to earn a livelihood.
We're talking about people pirating movies and video games and music. That's the product. And it applies to anything. If I want something, I need to pay for it. That's how the world works.
Understandable. So what if people don't agree to pay you but want your product anyway? That's what we're dealing with here.
Living in a vehicle the last few years has helped me save & keep all the money I would've otherwise paid to a landlord. So I can afford a security system now, and urgently need one because people are starting to catch onto my patterns and hover around my vehicle like vultures. Please tell me the best security system you know of. I am not savvy with electronics and gadgets, and I never will be. So I need someone to tell me.
I'm thinking of a fuel kill switch or battery kill switch or whatever that thing is;
I'm thinking of camera system that I can monitor with my smartphone from wherever I am, etc
I'm thinking keeping several air tags all around my vehicle, in pockets of clothing, and in bags, and under my mattress (can I use Apple air tags if I don't own any apple devices??, I run on Samsung and Lenovo and Linux);
Please tell me where to get these things, what the best brands are of fuel/battery kill switches, camera monitoring system
I entered Experian into my calendar.
But I did NOT enter that weird emoji gibberish: dead roses, coffin, skull, cute puppies, happy faces, circus? What the heck is this
This month I can finally leave my extortionate Verizon contract, I'm getting a new SIM card to get service with another ISP, now how can I ensure to keep my previous old phone number that Verizon assigned me 7 years ago?
(Me= vanlife.)
If you have your starlink satellite thing mounted on top of your vehicle, the only time you can get internet is when you are within range of your vehicle, right?
In case there's no Wi-Fi available, and you're away from your vehicle, which is a situation that is pretty constant in my life.
I presume there's no starlink hotspot to carry around(?)
Like it's been nice to have my Verizon hotspot "Orbic" shitty little thing when my phone's unlimited data service is slow or spotty but even the Orbic has shitty service sometimes.
I definitely want to abandon evil extortionate Verizon. Please tell me if I become a starlink customer, I won't be able to use my phone indoors at work which doesn't allow us to use their Wi-Fi, And when I'm walking around town, what to do for internet?
Please tell me your most highly recommended ISP that isn't extortionate & manipulative.
I'm tired of these places coming up in all my searches because I will never go back to these places again.
... and the only place to emergency park was in a touristy area where all the parking lots require a fee, would that accident-car have to pay for parking there while he's in a crisis?
I have no choice but to work a job for survival although I am in constant pain, my feet, my legs, my back, my shoulders, which is ironic because here I am as your massage therapist so you might assume we're impervious to pain, But no, not only am I your licensed massage therapist but I am first & foremost a Disabled Army Veteran but I have no choice but to work because all my disability benefits are being garnished by the government.
Ideally to heal my pain, I would rest and exercise and do yoga all day which is what I really need to do, but that won't earn me money to survive, and if I don't earn money to survive then I cannot survive. So I have no choice but to work a job, and if I could have any job in the world I wanted, it would be this job, as a licensed massage therapist here in this oceanfront Spa at this exclusive Beach Club that charges members $7,000 to join and $1,000 a month club dues, yes this is an exclusive club and I am grateful you hired me to work here,
I went to school for this, and jumped through so many legal hoops and bureaucratic documentation and licensing and testing in several different states just to have this job, So I'm investing myself into this job because I've already invested so much effort into it, and I don't want to jump through any other hoops for any other job because I'm already exhausted.
although what I really want to do is be a yoga teacher but I tried that and it only pays $25 a week and I cannot survive on $25/week, so I'm sticking with this job as a massage therapist and I'm grateful you hired me because this spa is on the beach and we can literally see the ocean from our windows and front promenade and it is so beautiful. And an employee benefit you offer us is a cafeteria with free food during our breaks and that is amazing. I'm grateful to work here,
but let me be clear that I do not want to work AT ALL and I need to rest and my body is in constant pain and I literally have disability benefits so I shouldn't be working but the government /IRS is garnishing all of my disability benefits because of something stupid my ex-husband did 10 years ago, So I have no choice but to work this job, and if I must work a job, this is the best one. But I am worried I will not be able to keep up and I will be so exhausted that I simply can't do it anymore, and then what? I will die because we need money to survive and if I don't work then I won't have money. And mind you, death from lack of money is not a quick instant painless death. No, it's a slow horrible undignified demise.
I will honestly tell you, along the same vein of preferring to be a yoga teacher if it only paid a living wage because that would be better for my body and my health, I've also thought of being an exotic dancer so I can climb a pole and be upside down and exercise which is what I crave, so much better than standing on these hard floors all day bending over massage clients, Oh it's 3:45 a.m. and my body is still throbbing in pain from the prior day of work, but I chose this vocation as a massage therapist because it is respectable, and guaranteed steady income as long as I can tolerate the pain and keep showing up to work every day,
whereas being an exotic dancer would not be respectable, and also I don't have the personality or the street smarts to be an exotic dancer. I would just like the physicality of it, climbing, stretching, dancing, that's what my body needs to do.
I have to submit a document for employment and they want my passport but my passport photo is 5.49 MB and they say you can't upload anything more than 5 MB. How can I shrink that file on my android phone without paying some service?
Humans need approx 1tsp (or less) of sodium daily as an essential nutrient. I was low on sodium this morning* then spent the day at the beach in the salty ocean air, then within about 30 minutes I wasn't dizzy and nauseous anymore. Did the ocean air provide me sodium somehow?
*(dizzy & nauseous, I know the symptoms well since I often have no sodium in my diet and I've learned this through experience the last 5 years and I have to consciously remember to add sodium to my diet, and if I forget then I have dizziness and nausea)
Reddit wouldn't let me post this for some reason, Maybe because that subreddit r/askadoctor is dead, there have been no posts there for 3 years, so instead of abandoning my attempt at a post, I screenshat it and posting it here on Lemmy.
The slices in the middle are big, and the slices on the end are so small. Why can't they make it a rectangle with equally-sized square slices?
