Don't forget, when people have time and a little extra energy they will do things like vote, volunteer, develop themselves, improve their health, maybe run for office.
These are all counter to the strategy to run everyone ragged, keep them on the treadmill producing and consuming until they drop. People who are exhausted won't fight back.
This doesn't work.
If it were only about novelty, then why aren't there more bellybutton fetishes?
Being a fetish-having person, I can tell you there there is more than just an attraction to the object of your desire. It is a primal, deep, uncontrollable NEED to see or touch the object.
I am not a foot fetishist, so I do not presume to know the intimate details of what they like, but I can promise you, it has nothing to do with novelty. Fetishes have so many variants also; there are foot fetishes, sock fetishes, feet squishing stuff, toenail paint things, some want a footjob, some want to lick them or suck on toes, some people like big feet, small feet, the list goes on and on.
Maybe read just a tiny bit? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_fetishism#Cause
May as well get used to the cold weather by moving north since we will have to run to Canada next.
You should probably switch from omeprazole to famotidine. I used to be on omeprazole until my doc noted that there are indications of it be a carcinogen when used long term. Switching was a non-issue for me.
Of course, I'm just some rando on the internet. You may want to seek some reliable info on the topic. Look for PPI vs H2 receptor antagonist.
I'm doing this one now mostly. Current company was just bought by a bigger company. All major projects have been stopped while we wait for the new bosses to show up and tell everyone what to do (then fire 2/3 of us).
I'm busy looking for my next job now. I have learned that any time there is any major acquisition or merger, get looking THE DAY it is announced. Do not wait, do not hope it will get better.
The management will let the news settle in, then after about a week or two, they'll send some useless motivational email about how we should value our work, take pride in it, whatever. They're just trying to keep everyone busy so that they won't leave because the bosses will get a bonus if they can keep the place stable long enough to hand it over to new management. They let everyone believe that everything will be fine, no need to panic.
The rule is, when you start to see the faces of the new company, it's fucking over. You have weeks/days left before you're gone. They've already gone through the staff, they know the names, who's worth keeping (very few), what they do, how much it will cost in lost productivity when they fire everyone off. They have consultants at the ready to come in and clean up the mess left behind after they sweep everyone out. Any hope that you're a good person or that you know something that nobody else does and that's useful is just wishful thinking. You represent an expense and they want those to go away. They will spend as little money on you as possible to make you go away. They will typically offer no severance or as little as possible (in the US). They will do what they can to fend off a potential lawsuit so you won't have any grounds to sue once you're cut. They'll keep the people in other countries that actually have labor protection laws and drop all the US workers as fast as possible.
Never sit around hoping things will work out, they will not. Just dust off your resume and get at it.
I got something similar, just the remote version. Was supposed to have 1:1 with one of the corporate officers (c-suite). He was there, but then, fucking HR lady joined. As soon as she got on, I knew what was up.
They whacked me and most of my team that day in the span of about an hour and a half. HR is a bunch of useless twats and their only value is to read the "you're fired" script quickly.
But more importantly, bullshit like this is a quick and easy way to ensure that he dominates news cycles.
It took him moments (or some kid who works for him more likely) to cook this up and post it. It will not harm his ability to be a twat in any way, nothing will happen because of this. Well, except that he keeps everyone talking about him which is all he wants. Keep CNN breathless pretending this is news.
How about all the news networks learn to ignore his bullshit for a minute? Oh wait, then nobody will hate watch and soak in the advertising.
I truly dislike what has become of us.
I have uttered the phrase, "ARE YOU TRYING TO BURN MY DICK OFF WHAT THE HELL!?!!"
Kinky girl with a heart of gold and panties of brown.
Homeboy found the keeper of all keepers, if she'll share poopix, she'll probably do all sorts of stuff, she's just waiting for her moment to shine!
This works so very well. Turn them from fun to cringe with one irritating parent move.
I threatened to get a Sigma Dad tshirt and wear it to my son's school. He's since stopped with all the sigma stuff.
There is no such thing as a $3k car, those days are gone. If it's going to be something that is expected to start and drive every day without major repairs that are overdue, you need to spend closer to $10k.
I know this because I recently bought my sons some used cars. Used 2006 Volvo was $6k in about as good of condition it could be for the age and miles. Still needed a bunch of little things that quickly added up. New tires ($800), PCV breather system ($120 did myself), new ignition coils ($200, did myself), brakes ($80, did myself), etc. If I wasn't doing my own work, it would have been 3x the cost.
I also bought a 2013, nearly identical car to the 06. It needs far less, put tires on it, still has an evaporative emissions leak causing a check engine light. Not going to fix that.
Old people who are assholes were probably always assholes. They were once young assholes and got older. Conversely, old people who are good, were probably good people when they were younger, they just got old.
Most people don't stray far from their roots. Few are those who make a meaningful change. Some choose goodness as a goal, some get their asses kicked by life and turn bitter.
I guess the lesson is don't be an asshole. if you are one, work toward being less of one until you aren't one anymore. Try not to let life get you down. If all else fails, drugs.
