And no matter which one you pick, you are correct.

Even better, there’s 8.

last time I tried to get help I got profiled as a drug seeker.

This is so dumb and lazy, because of course you are seeking a drug, but they have tests they can throw at you that will pretty readily identify if the drug is appropriate for your needs…

Like if they had another actually workable treatment option that wasn’t just “feel really bad about not being able to do things and we’ll teach you how to live with that feeling!” Then fine, we’d all do that and not seek the drugs… but it’s really not our fault that we need stimulants.

So dumb. Anyway, as others have told you, don’t let that one dumbass deter you. As outlined above, they are clearly dumb.

In fairness, it’s basically on-demand campaigns. So it probably depends very very heavily where you are. I looked though the reviews.

Admittedly their onboarding could be better, but it’s fast (2 days from interview to start), just during any given campaign season most people are learning for a while, the campaign swells ahead of the Election Day and then almost everyone goes back to whatever else they were doing. They do have a core HR team to handle important stuff like getting paid.

And yeah, canvassing is long hours, but it is still well paid for what they ask of you.

-.- you’ve just described a significant portion of my home remodeling….

-.-

I think I need to learn new skills…

If you live in a swing state, or can temp relocate to a swing state, and want to get paid for progressive outreach (who really has the luxury to volunteer? Not me…) Check out https://www.theoutreachteam.net/jobs

I’ve worked with them in 2020 and presently. That link doesn’t give me any bonuses, but they do have recruitment incentives if you have friends to get involved. Pay is decent, and they offer insurance on day 1. It’s obviously a limited term contract, but if you need funds, it’s a great way to get income and make a difference at the same time!

She looks like what happens when you try to put a knock-off Barbie’s head on to an actual Barbie frame, and you push it down far enough to engage the swivel disc but there isn’t the proper lip for it so the head ends up super far down the neck, with the chin jutting out awkwardly.

I oppose this candidate on the mandatory naps. Idk what else they stand for but that’s a big turn off for me, as a single-issue voter.

I can’t nap. Naps are literally nightmare fuel for me, in that every time I nap I have horribly realistic and super vivid nightmares.

I’m gunna start the anti-napping coalliance to defeat this absolute whacko. Preserve freedom!!!

(The nightmares bit is true, the rest is in jest)

I’m not going to look it up, but I’m curious about the hyphenated last name.

Is he married and took his wife’s name as part of his own (progressive!) or did his parents do that (also progressive, but makes one wonder where he fell off the tree)?

Not just a useless middleman!

A nepotism monopoly middleman! Yay!

Oof.

Thanks for the link. It’s one thing to be told “trust me bro”, and another entirely to… have context.

Wait is this real…? Are they saying the quiet part out loud again…? Screaming loud…?

What’s the context here?

I noticed the lack of comprehension several times. I could easily pick out which individual words she said that he doesn’t know, because he has absolutely no self control.

Sounds like a really good reason not to let an animal you care about roam town on their own…

But what do I know.

(Kitty convict project represent!)

Have literally never seen that sub tag used in any way but as an insult, but alright, I’ll take your word for it.

Haha, I totally understand. I don’t trust those guides at all.

I’m a language lover myself (I like learning, but after trying for many years with multiple languages, I’m not super into practice ;) so I learn about how languages work instead!) and if there’s anything I’ve learned about language it is this:

It does not matter how you sound or what you actually say as long as the message you intended to get across actually gets across to whomever you mean to hear it. If people mispronounce, it is usually either regional (and thus correct for them) or something they read and have never heard anyone say. If they use the wrong word but it’s kinda right, they are probably language learners.

This was galvanized for me when I took an art history class as a general education credit in college. I learned that clerestory is pronounced clear-story. I’d only ever read the word before that, and thought it was more in line with modern patterns to be CLE-rest-ory, which is embarrassingly wrong. I’d been reading it that way for years.

Your sister sounds like a language prescriptivist, and they are always wrong, because language simply doesn’t work like that.

That’s just rude. I like knowing random things and sharing them with people. I have a literal degree built around doing that. You don’t have to think I’m being genuine if you don’t want to, but this is my experience.

I wouldn’t either, and I’m one of the people who knows me.

I actually have a number of games that are Ubisoft that I love. They aren’t super new or anything, but they aren’t flops by my metrics (granted, I bought them used long after launch)

I didn’t know they were when I got them, then the ubiconnect thing comes up and I just don’t do that, and it’s just a game that takes longer to load than it should.

Idk about any super bad practices, maybe PC is different from console stuff? (which is how I play, hence used game market, because I can sell it later if needs must) or is this something that spans console as well? What sort of bad practices?

It has gotten to the point where the people I know just wholly believe almost everything I say, unless I preface or follow up with “I’m pretty sure that’s right but now I’m gunna double check” (and if I’m wrong because of new info, or I misremembered something, I totally own it, and read the correction from someone else out loud)

I could so very easily horribly mislead all the people I know, because I’m a random information machine, but I almost never say things I’m not entirely sure about without the preface or follow up combined with actively looking it up and setting the record straight. If I turned evil, it would take them years to realize it was intentional.

New people are fun. They challenge me a lot on things I don’t need to preface or follow up. Never works out that well for them, but we get to learn about each other!
