Crap. In the US of A, we (meaning the legal representatives of the society) CANNOT burn people out.

It's horrifying. I don't care who they are, where they are, whether you agree with them or not, human beings are not some sort of infestation.

You may not like their circumstances, but in the name of God, they deserve to be treated with dignity.

This is a repudiation of our values and beliefs as a society. If we can't recognize that and haven't experienced true hardship in our own lives, perhaps looking into our own family history provides some empathy.

Anyone's grandparents survive the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression, just to name two?

Most have family tragedies that we survive, including poverty and death. It takes time and help to recover.

Have you ever heard of ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder)? Mine presents a bit differently, I have a mental list of “safe foods” and textures and the idea of deviation from that makes me anxious. It’s not as commonly talked about as other EDs, but finding out about it really helped me. r/ARFID is a wonderful community, you may relate to some of the experiences there.

If you like french onion dip, you should try the Kalona supernaturals one at Natural Grocers. Only place in town that sells it and it is INCREDIBLE. No joke, there are at least 3-5 open containers in the employee fridge at all time. Kinda random but I’ve been telling everybody about it LOL.

Reply to Norovirus? by TurtleSoup58

Apparently disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer aren't effective against norovirus, only strong bleach solutions and hand washing.

I expect one of my coworkers will give it to me soon.
