It's almost definitely true as long as he's not completely socially inept. I'm mildly socially inept and had a similar experience at a woman focused department store. I had significantly less work that I was allowed to do, but was still commended for it. If the options for growth there were at all appealing I might have stayed when offered a leadership position.

Most of my coworkers were either older women that treated me like their son/grandson or attractive young women that would take me out to bars and parties. I made a few life long friends as a nice bonus. The obvious downside is that it was by far the lowest pay and worst benefits I've ever had in my life (absolutely one of the most fun periods of my life though).

Although, the amount of opportunities for getting laid that I completely missed or unknowingly blew is embarrassing. Hurts a little bit to think about.

I like to think of it as having low RAM (and sometimes a random program/thought has a memory leak). It's not that someone just fully and completely forgets they put their food in the (muted) microwave, it's that the task is no longer running because they had to pick up the loaf of bread that fell on the floor or maybe their ponytail needs fixing. There's not enough RAM to run Eat Microwaved Food AND Fix Ponytail. With Fix Ponytail running and ending there's enough RAM to run something else but it has to be manually initiated.

This would be nice to know, my mom asked me like a decade ago and I was unable to find anything back then.

My experience watching The Departed while almost entirely sober felt like a face blindness simulator. I was baffled when one of the characters that had been killed came back and none of the other characters acknowledged it. Cool movie but so confusing.

Is this your recent experience with American wireless carriers? I have experience with phone companies and this is not how the big ones work. They did work like this years ago but it's been a while since they have. The big ones right now have a plan per line and additional charges based on add-ons and device payments. So it'll be something like $80 phone plan + $20 device payment (for 3 years) + $8 insurance. Once the payment plan is over the plan and addon's typically remain the same price. If you bring your own phone as a NEW customer the big carriers give you a discount up front or distributed through a monthly credit, but the plan is the same plan. Once the credit runs out it's the same price as everyone else's plan.

Example bills:

New customer with no promotional offers: $25 iPhone 15 (I don't know the actual price for this) $80 unlimited plan $8 insurance $113 total

New customer with trade in promotion: $25 iPhone 15 -$25 iPhone 15 $80 unlimited plan $8 insurance $88 total (I'm not a Nazi I'm just pretty sure this is the price of the cheapest insurance option)

Existing customer who buys a phone from Craigslist: $80 unlimited plan $8 insurance $88 total

New customer that brings their own Craigslist device: $-5 credit for bringing own phone (probably applied for 24-36 months) $80 unlimited plan $8 insurance $83 total

It's a little higher resolution if you edit the URL for the image. Removed fit=400 from the url

I think this is the time and place for a vegan rant right? (I also agree about circumcisions being a violation of human rights)

I do care a tiny bit about that little bitch wulbren (assuming you're talking about him). I'll wait to figure out where he is before doing anything with the factory. Thanks!

Looks like I'm entering the poop tube tonight!

 

My wife and I don't have a lot of opportunities to play together. The last two times we had time time together we basically just talked to a bunch of strangers, went to a support group, but didn't get any action. She is a fiend and wants action over anything else.

⚠️ Act 3 spoilers warning ⚠️

We were both so excited to get to baldurs gate, but my wife is a recovering murder hobo. I don't know how much longer she can hold on without killing something. Can someone provide some low spoiler guidance as to where to go for some fights? So far we've

  • Killed some dudes on the beach near the tadpole shipment
  • Investigated the murders and found a list of targets
  • Killed a sexy mind flayer
  • Depolymorphed mayrina
  • Attended the coronation

We can only play for 1-2 hour sessions so it's taken us a good while to get where we are. If it helps she is a dragonborn barbarian and I'm a tiefling warlock. We've got shadowheart and Karlach as primary members of our party.
