Employers are not your friends. Employers are people who want you to do as much as possible for as little as possible. Regardless of one's political views, employers are not friends. It is an uneasy alliance at best and an outright war at the best of times. Wanna be friends? Help me unionize this workplace, bro.

My brother had a 3 year gap, and when he applied for his current job (civil service job, even) and they asked about the gap, his response was "I signed an NDA about that, I can tell you in 2052," and just refused to speak further on it. Complete bullshit, but even a job with the US federal government just let it go.

... Fucking really? OMG, that's good to know!

I'm glad to know you've been a considerate lover to Mama. She's had a lot of selfish men in her life, and while I don't love thinking about her sex life, at least I know in that one respect she's had someone with some consideration and grace.

My foster brother's middle school had a band called Chicken By Product. Haha

Chicken: Fine, I'll tell you.

Scientists, anxious and excited: yes?

Chicken: ... The rooster. And then he asked for a sandwich and fell asleep before he could eat it.

Are you asking how to express this information in a utilitarian way, as in, how do you convey the information to be understood? Or are you asking how to express it in a poetic way? The use of thither makes me think you're hoping to express this is a jokingly poetic sense.

It's a hobby more than an anything else.

This has been my dream for years. I long for the day when science splices human DNA and pygmy marmoset DNA, creating tiny little borrower people. I will build them doll houses and ask for nothing in return. They will be too pure and good for capitalism, they must be provided for.

No joke, it's why I switched to French press. I've been a renter my whole life, and with moving a lot from cheap(est available) housing to cheap housing over and over, ya gonna get roaches. Sometimes they're easily dealt with, sometimes it's an ongoing problem and you'll never be rid of them until you move. Rice and flour and sugar can be kept in cannisters, most things can be kept safe from roaches. But the coffee maker? Fucking thing is mecca to roaches. But a French press, water heated with the kettle? That can be washed beforehand every single time, and be guaranteed to be roach free.

Switched when we had them bad, and never looked back. Even when there aren't roaches, because I love the taste of the coffee now, but more importantly, it gives me peace of mind.

Oh yeah, gotta keep it dolphin-with-a-brazilian smooth. The trick is to skip the shaving, waxing and Nair style stuff. Just use a Zippo and burn the hairs off. Baby smooth in no time.

It's less "everyone gets in" and more that finite crimes do not deserve infinite punishment. Universalists tend to believe that we will, with few if any exceptions, all be reunified with God. Immortal souls being punished endlessly is less than a loving concept, when any sins/crimes they committed were by nature not infinite or endless themselves. Advaita vedanta has a similar concept, as well as other branches of Hinduism such as kashmiri shaivism. Lots of religions have a concept of universal salvation or reconciliation.
