He somehow DID NOT expect to be handed his ass over and over. The fact that he didn't see this all coming lends so much credence to what an entitled little brat he is. It's rare to witness such a beautiful example of comeuppance. I'm glad I was here for a bit of it. Hopefully he has it in him to truly treat this as a lesson learned. Maybe he'll surprise us all and become a badass boss himself because of it. ¯\(ツ)

>10 or 20 is cutting it close, 40 or 50 would probably be better. (Don't laugh, I'm broke af)

Putting your paycheck into crypto is like putting your paycheck into lottery scratch offs or gas station slot machines.

The people who got rich off crypto were the people who ripped people off or made scams in crypto. They preach the myth of the crypto millionaire because they need bag holders for their scams.

Don't be a mark.

I still lived with him. We had more than one controller. He doesn’t work at construction sites, he works on call; he’s a joiner and plumber, not a construction worker. I just want it repaired so I can put it on display. He apologised after I told him it was rare, so no hard feelings.

Also, I bought “all my shit” myself, so how am I ungrateful? I have fucking nothing to be ungrateful for.

Sounds like an ungreatful child to me. Likely your Oldman bought all your shit. He was likely using it to unwind from a long day on a construction site. Cut him some slack, if you left it for so long, it had no more value to you than a new one.

Chill out, leave the past behind and move on...

Do you know how breasts work? Because they still require pumping.. so there is time dedicated to that if a woman is going keep lactating, meaning time during the day to pump (20-30 minutes to do it properly), a thermal bag to store breastmilk.. storage at home for breastmilk. You really do not seem to know much about this.. especially based on your comment again about powder. Formula is really expensive. While, yes, people absolutely use it, it adds significant costs if you are dependent entirely on formula.

There are also way more than two countries where modesty laws exist and even more countries where equality is a massive issue.

I'm also American, and yes there was a time where being associated with Communists was "problematic", but not strictly illegal. Also, I find it humorous that many Americans seem to equate Communism as anti-democracy, when it's actually anti-Capitalist. Personally, I think that system built to be purely Communist has too many issues, but also a system built to be purely Capitalist has too many issues as well.

I'm personally in favor of the concept of universal basic income. We keep trying to toot our own horn, claiming to be the "best, wealthiest, most powerful nation", when too many people, including war veterans are homeless. There's no logical reason for the US to have a homelessness problem beyond pure greed. Same goes for malnourishment.

Wowee. Crypto is NOT a get rich quick. It is complicated and price gets less volatile and cycles last longer as time passes. You should only invest what you can afford to lose and invest smart, do your research. Don't expect short term profits, don't day trade. Find projects you think are robust and will increase in value in the future and be prepared to hold for a long time, potentially many years.

No… your argument falls short.

Because maternity leave is so much longer, the mom will be with the baby while the father gets nothing. I said this because it means that the scenario described in OP will inevitably occur, due to systemic differences in gender treatment under the laws of 99% of countries. Your argument fails to address that.

About practicality: We have these things called refrigerators, where we can store milk… although many women use powder these days. That’s not why women have more leave.

About your ‘well this is wrong for women’: There are 0 countries where women aren’t viewed as people. I’ve lived in ‘oppressive’ countries (notably a few STAN countries), and women are respected in all of them… Not driving or wearing sexy clothes doesn’t make someone not a person. Although those laws exist in like 2 countries, you’d be shocked how open minded the reality is in those countries.

Lastly: Whether it damages a career or not depends on the career.

Well I'm American and I can remember a time when being associated with any self-identified communist organization could have caused you serious trouble. For the last 30 years this has been way less of an issue, unless one assumes that being a communist implies support for the government or policies of the PRC that has become quite the bogeyman as of late.

Interesting though that this group seems to have pro-Russian sympathies. Interesting given that today's Russia isn't really "communist" so I don't know but that would concern me way more than the "communist" aspect, but then I really have no idea what sort of political groups are active at W. European universities (I believe the people involved are uni students) the only such people I know personally are conservative Catholics lol.
