Reach out to family or friends or anyone who can be with them now.

I met a guy named Sam Pate. He was a radio man and was live during the JFK shooting. He said that at that time the drains were big enough for a person to easily slip into. He said the real shooter escaped that way and was on his way back to Chicago before Oswald was arrested.

Does your hospital room have one of those 0-10 pain scales? I hate those!! I'm so bad at them! I need something more objective so now i use 4 wakes you up and 7 makes you teary/cry. For 10 they say 'worst pain imaginable' so i always think it's like my arm was ripped off and I'm in a car fire with shards of glass. Nothing has ever been a 10.

I don't understand how someone knows what/when to label. We all vary from time to time, in different periods of our lives and in different settings and situations. Yeah, health issues and medications can play a big role. When does low or high libido become so far outside the norm (or perceived norm) that it gets labeled?

In shows and movies, a woman kisses a man or unbuttons her blouse and the man suddenly become powerless to resist. Who the heck are these men that are so swayed by a hint of cleavage that they'll hand over state secrets or their bank pin? And where are they training these women in voodoo kisses?

I make people answer Newlywed Game type questions with me, designate secret meeting spots and places to look for secret messages from me, and make up elaborate backstories just in case.

ETA- despite years of training for this, my husband's answer was - An imposter would be able to wink with just one eye and finish a meal without spilling anything.

Can i ask about asexuality? I've never heard it described in that way - actually, i guess I've never heard it described at all. I don't really know what my question is.

I didn't grow up using it, but now as an adult I love it. I use it at least once a week with friends, family, and co-workers with intended offensive score of one or two. I have a friend that sends me pictures of clowns late at night when she knows I'm home alone. That's pretty deserving of a middle finger or two.

I'm more worried about dying of some completely treatable illness, either because our politicians pretend it's not real or because I can't afford the treatment. I'm also concerned about using all of my retirement savings to live, dying broke, and having nothing to leave to my kids, who will likely suffer the same fate.

I work in a public school district and i visit about a dozen different schools. Bosses are making us share our calendars, thinking they'll be able to track us and catch us doing something wrong. I'm planning to add "started my period" every couple of weeks. Are there other good outlook tricks to fuck with them?

ETA- This is my work calendar, not my personal calendar. I know that seems reasonable but it's being done as a petty micromanagement tactic. There are about 20 of us in my department who drive from school to school every day working with kids with physical disabilities. They don't just want to know when we're in meetings - they want every minute of our day to be accounted for - 8 to 830 school A, 840 to 11 school B, etc. I go to 14 schools. If my kid at school A is absent or if i get a call from school J that i need to stop by to fix a wheelchair, am I supposed to pull over and update my calendar so they can find me? I could spend an hour a day in parking lots editing my calendar. Most days i eat lunch in my car between schools. Last year they made a rule that we can't carry to-go cups because it looks like we have enough free time to drive thru Starbucks. It's just to be controlling.

 

I'm non-techy. I work for a public school district and visit with kids in about a dozen schools. I like having my work email on my phone so teachers can get in touch if they need me. For years we've just used the outlook app with no real issues that I've noticed. We're seeing more and more micromanagement and it sucks. We recently got notice that we have to install Cisco Duo on our phones if we want to have our email on it. Should i do that? Or just say no and be ok with being out of contact?

It's like a dental retainer with a touchpad to control devices with your tongue.

What should I buy? (lemmy.world)

Sorry if this is not the right community for this. In the US. I currently have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The air suspension was awesome, but now that it's failing it's driving me crazy so I'm looking for something new. I haul wheelchairs and similarly- sized stuff for work so i need some cargo space. I'd love an SUV with second row captains seats and no third row. Does anyone make that? I'm leaning away from American cars, but can be swayed (my last two cars were Camaro and Jeep). I like things that look a little sporty with little/no chrome, a good amount of hp, and AWD is a plus. I usually drive 10-30 miles per day and get a $60/mo stipend- so about one tank of gas right now. I've browsed the websites for the new 4runner, Outback, Forester, Santa Fe, and a few others. Appreciate any ideas or opinions.

ETA- 6 months ago the dealer wanted $9k to replace the air suspension, so i went to a small Goodyear shop for $6k instead. That shop was bought by brakes plus and they won't honor any warranty. Dropped it at the dealer for diag this morning. Just got a call - $4800. I was expecting $9k. Now I'm on the fix it/trade it fence.

Oops! Friend reported this is not his. When he sent it to me i thought it was original . He was sharing it to me because he thought it was cool. Super kudos to the original artist. Sorry!

 

I don't really like Grandscape so that's kind of a turn off. It looks cool for a sporting event but I'm sure tickets and concessions are $$$. I would go for a planetarium or nature show if it was reasonably priced.

 

If you use "they" to describe a nameless group of people and you mean anyone other than The Man (That's how they get you.), you're probably the one who's wrong.

Looking forward to reading some fun exceptions.
