That sounds awful all around

Your “small city” has more people than 5 US states

Lajitas, Texas, which once elected as their mayor a goat that drank beer, has a population of 75.

Terlingua, Texas, as made famous by Jerry Jeff Walker and home of the Terlingua International Chili Cook-off, has a population of 78.

Luckenbach, Texas, as made famous by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, has a population of 3.

Oh my…

Where are you from?

Uhh…what are we talking about again?

I’ve been paying $70/mo for gigabit fiber for like 6 years now. It’s been the exact same price every month that entire time. I had to reach out to the Google Fiber people maybe once for a technical issue, and it was resolved quickly with a prorated discount for my downtime.

I just can’t stress enough what a breath of fresh air this has been vs Time Warner/Spectrum and then later AT&T I’ve had at this same address. How many times did I have to call to wait on hold to tell them my service was broken, or threaten to cancel my service so they would lower my rate back down to what it was before they tried to jack it up again? How many technicians did I have to have come to my house for stupid bullshit? Also, the other two ran bare cable barely buried from the junction box to my house, where Google installed a fucking conduit in the ground that can easily be reused.

Google is the best ISP by a hundred miles, imo. Just use a VPN.

Honestly it was before a month ago, probably 6-8 weeks ago I saw the first Halloween stuff there. Then it’ll all be completely gone by the end of September and they’ll spend the entire month of October celebrating Christmas

Without a doubt the best option the Democrats have right now

You say all the things you’re doing to accommodate him, but you don’t say anything about why you’re doing those things. Then you say he’s devaluing you and calling you “too sensitive”…why are you even still talking to this guy? What benefit does he add to your life? What you say you’re doing is reminiscent of how someone acts in an abusive relationship

I’d recommend being your authentic self 24/7 around him. If he can’t handle that, that’s on him and is not for you to fix

Install a dimmer switch? We replaced the stock Hampton Bay fan/light in our bedroom with a clear glass, kinda industrial style fixture with LED Edison bulbs on a dimmer switch, so we can turn that light on really low or really bright if we need to. I hate overhead lighting typically, but the low light is super warm colored and great to have on when we’re in there but still up.

I’m a dimmer switch advocate…no one should ever get blasted with a full-strength bulb when they’re trying to wind down from the day or first waking up. Just put dimmer switches in every room.

That fucking algae in the ocean, how does it sleep at night knowing the crimes it’s perpetuating?!

Fossil fuel consumption for electricity generation in the US has been decreasing along with the increase in renewable generation capacity, so what you’re saying is false

Here’s a source

Highly dependent on the job. I’m a SW who hires SWs. New grad LMSWs can start at $60K in hospitals or some government jobs, or $40K in schools or some nonprofits. 5-10 years of experience and a clinical license and you’ll easily pull $75-80K, or $90K+ in management.

Then there’s private psychotherapy practice, which I know some people who charge $200/hour out of pocket and are scheduled out for months.

All this to say getting a master’s in social work was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I have no regrets financially, but there are some people who do end up in very low paid jobs

You think OP has a lot more power than they actually do if you’re attributing their actions to perpetuating the Palestinian genocide…

How about horseshit, apeshit, batshit, dogshit, and probably lots more. Each of these has a pretty specific use case

The term “gaslighted” is used to mean a lot of different things these days…we might need a little more info on what transpired to be able to provide any helpful advice

I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but whenever we do fireworks on the 4th or New Year’s, it’s with a group of a solid 15-30 people. I don’t think we’d ever set off fireworks by ourselves

Totally. Then once you get it, make sure to huff a bit of it to make sure it’s pure
