I actually do more work at home. Zero distractions. Just work.

I’m pretty good at making money tho. I’m even good at investing. But paying a simple bill requires 2 doses of Ritalin

Luckily my wife pays the bills in the house or I be a mess.

I just want this on a hot day

No positive father figure in their lives. No sense of community. Stigma from male role models that want to step up but fear being branded a PDF.

I have no idea engineered stones causes silicosis. Is it the manufacturing or the installation or the home owner getting too close to it that causes it?

I tried paying my taxes using the free filing online through the SSA website. It kept logging me out after hitting the submit button.

He was defending the entire country

Can we stop winning already? I’m tired of winning so much.

He isn’t gay. Wanting to fuck couches is totally hetero.

Elon is trying to break Hitler’s record.

They can die from it alone in their house. Stop going to the hospitals and infecting infants and newborns that can’t get it.

If they are, it’s just for milking their intelligence and giving that info to Russia. Don’t trust the CCP.

This is a timeline I would vote for.

Remember to never bring your phone with you and use the woods to escape.

Thank you for this info. While very informative if you understand the context, your reverse spin is unnecessary and might deter someone from making a decision if they don’t see your humor.

Also Lemmy is unlikely to remove this content even if it’s worded correctly.

I literally record every work conversation so I can go back to it when I zone out.

I even record my personal conversations. After Samsung added AI transcriptions, I have become a better person.

I used to work for Wells Fargo and during the 2008 crash, Wells Fargo branches had frequent protests.

I quit a few months after that. I didn’t want to work for the baddies.

Yes absolutely. The Japanese has a heavy influence in Taiwan culture. They ruled Taiwan for 50 years. My grandparents only spoke Japanese and Taiwanese when I was growing up here.

That is why there is so much love for the Japanese people. Our cultures are pretty aligned.

What we different is how we view kids in society. In Taiwan, when my wife was visably pregnant, people from all walks of life would give up their seat for her. Even before she was visably pregnant, the government gives you a ribbon to wear and people will let you go first on an elevator and congratulate you.

The government has designated parking spots(marked in pink lines) specifically for pregnant and anyone with kids 6 and under. All larger malls are required to have a clean breastfeeding/pumping room with some malls going the extra mile and having free childcare while you pump.

The people in Taiwan view children as everyone children and everyone has an obligation to bare that burden.

While there are major upsides, the downsides is that people have opinions on how to parent your kids with some parenting for you.

I was in Kaohsiung at a beach and my 3 year old son was taking a stick and hitting it against rocks and the sand. A bunch of grandma’s felt it was too unsafe for my son to be walking around with a stick in his hand and took it out of my kid’s hands and told me that my kid could lose an eye. I know the gesture comes from a good place, but man. Mind your own business.

They are courteous and very respectful. It’s built into the culture and even their language. One simple sentence like hello, how are you have multiple ways of saying it depending on who you’re addressing. Addressing incorrectly is very disrespectful. So the culture overly respectful.
