Mormon Jesus, maybe... Aren't you white? -
CEB: Have you caught COVID?
Nokra replied to CitizenVectron's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
Not yet. -
Are you 100% certain your father is your biological father?
Nokra replied to Fizzzzle's topic in The Shower
We've never taken a genetic test or anything but there are some pictures of us in our youth where we look nearly identical, so odds are good. -
What's something you bought for $100 or less that vastly improved your life?
Nokra replied to Nokra's topic in The Shower
One like this? That's one I've actually been eyeing already. What do you normally use it on? Back? Legs? Pretty much everything? -
Right. They're all about "freedumb", until it comes to someone else's freedom to choose something they don't like.

A tool for a more civilized age. 🎩 -

Oh that's a great one. I shave my own head because I've had classic male pattern baldness since I was 16 but I think I know what you mean. It's like when you wear well-fitting clothes; you just feel more confident. -
I started thinking the other day about how much value my Kindle has brought to my life. I just throw it in my bag to pull out whenever I've got a few spare minutes, and because it's so light but can hold thousands of books, I essentially have endless hours of entertainment, knowledge, etc. just at my fingertips, any time I want. The accessibility got me back in to reading regularly, and all of that reading has really enriched my life. How about for you all? Is there any gadget, appliance, service, or other product that you've purchased that is worth its weight in gold?

I'm just some idiot online, but for what it's worth, I don't think your weight is necessarily "the biggest thing [you] can control". There's a lot about our weight that's not entirely in our control (e.g. genetics, triggers, etc) and I'd be worried that thinking about it like this makes it feel like a moral failing to not be where you want to be, which it isn't. I know it's cliche, but... keep striving for progress, for sure, but go a little easier on yourself. -

Ha thanks, I really can't believe it, honestly. They're basically doubling my current salary and giving me company stock, plus a signing bonus, plus better health vision and dental care, 401k matching, free meals, more flexible working hours, more PTO, opportunity for working from home, it will actually be using my degrees (in Comp Sci)... I'm overwhelmed. After struggling to make ends meet for years, it's incredible. I'm 37 and have zero retirement, but I feel like now I can finally actually plan for my future. Next week I'm probably going to start constantly shitting blood, just to even things out. -

Holy shit man, sorry to hear about your kidneys but I'm glad that things are looking up! -
Posted by a friend: The people who want Roe vs. Wade overturned are the same people who are afraid of windmill cancer. Think about that for a sec.

The last two weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster. Two weeks ago I mentioned that my cousin took his life, and today I was offered and accepted a kickass job at Intel proper (no longer a contract worker). Ups and downs. -
FWIW, I understand where Jason is coming from. I'd be pissed too, even if it was just a cold, let alone COVID. Going out to hang out with people knowing that you're sick but not disclosing that beforehand is a selfish move, IMO. Maybe Jason underestimated the risk of going out, but it definitely doesn't help his estimations when critical information is withheld.
