While looking for a new job. Be slow and careful about everything. If the tattler is snitching on you, take your time to make sure everything is correct.

I think the second ask and comment are suspicious. I can't stand people who act entitled to your information. I'd block them.

Leave that pandora's box alone. Tell her you don't care but don't press the issue. She's probably already thinking about it enough. She could talk to a therapist or plastic surgeon but I'd leave that up to her.

Yep. I use it as much as possible. I use it in car parks. I use it pulling out of parking spots. I use it pulling out of my driveway.

Amazon makes more money from it's web services than it's "amazon.com" shop.

Personally I don't really care about these words getting used outside of hateful intent, except that their continued casual use leaves the door open for haters to use the words. I grew up with a bunch of aboriginals who used abbo, widely considered a slur in Australia. I don't use it anymore because it leaves the door open for haters to use the word. I will call some of my gay friends poof, another semi slur, but only in private. It's not about your intent when using the word, it's about the effect on society when the word gets used.

My friend with muscular dystrophy did this in Australia. It all seemed very peaceful and humane.

Shoulda voted, the rest of the world saw this coming.

I know which of those worlds I would prefer though. The last politician I voted for wasn't because I liked them, it was because the other choice was much much worse.

This has all been taken far too seriously.

You get to define your own sense of what "enough" money is. Many people will never have enough.

The philosopher Diogenes was sitting on a curbstone, eating bread and lentils for his supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, "If you would learn to be subservient to the king, you would not have to live on lentils." Said Diogenes, "Learn to live on lentils, and you will not have to cultivate the king."

I like to reference Maslows Hierarchy of needs for a different perspective of personal value.
