This is sort of beside the point you’re making, but a lot of 1st/2nd generation Latinos still look down on immigrants. “We did it the hard way, so they should have to as well” similar to bootstrap mentality.

It’s some real mental gymnastics, but I’ve had several latina girlfriends over the years and some of their families were poor or super well off, but they openly hated Mexicans and/or Puerto Ricans.

That number isn’t really that surprising.

You should see a doctor for that.

What a dire situation.

If you’re pounding one out that won’t really save you. He probably games with headphones and just doesn’t want to get jump scares by mom.

I always had a desk and a bed and I made a point to never have my back towards the door when I was at my desk for the above reason.

Sorta. CBM is cubic meters and the entire world uses feet for shipping containers. For Intl logistics CBM and kg are the standard for volume and weight but they get loaded into containers measured in feet.

You’ll see similar stuff in other industries. Machining a lot of measurements are in mm but tolerances in “mils” or 1/1000 of an inch. Or medical where volume is in mL or drams.

When it comes to distance though I only really know miles.

For context 28 CBM is about the volume of a 20’ container.

Or a stacked pallet is about 1.8 CBM so about 15 standard height pallets.

If anyone has any tips on how to cope with this lmk. I’m medicated but still an ineffective human 70% of the time. Life is hard I’m tired.

Maybe compost

Oddly enough I’m the thrower-outer, sometimes it gets so cluttered in our small apartment I go on a cleaning/donation spree.

Well fuck. I’d have been okay not knowing this.

Since you mentioned you got your hearing checked and everything is okay… Auditory Processing Disorder is a pretty common neurodivergence with a lot of overlap with ADHD/OCD/depression/anxiety/et al. It’s common with any or all of the others, but it shows up in neurotypical people too.

I’m ADHD and have APD as well :)

Terrible situation. I had a temp come work for me that had fled from Ukraine. I judged the situation at first, but I considered what I would do in his situation. I’d like to think I’d stay and fight, but we only get one life. My guy was just trying to to survive.

My GP just wrote me a script back in 2008 and I’ve been on Adderall ever since.

Soda stream changed my life for 2 weeks.

My building has these and 2 of them failed in the first year. Can’t replace the battery so had to replace the whole thing.

Same here, I still do a lot of complex problem solving and modeling but excel/python handles a lot of the dirty work for me.

My favorite is summoning salt.

Try smaller businesses maybe? Corporate isn’t for everyone.

I got hired for two simple tasks and quickly realized the company (being small) was lacking in a lot of areas I specialize in or am passionate about. I started doing all these extra things and I got a lot of recognition and $$$ in return. I also don’t hate my job, it’s a small team and we all get along great.

Fun game!

I think this is from a mobile game I used to play… Neko Atsume? Pretty cute and fun.
