I wouldn’t be surprised — if you are young and otherwise healthy, how often do you check your blood pressure or see your primary care doctor? Knowing high BP and heart problems are a potential side effect, how often does the Psychiatrist prescribing these things check at a follow-up?

Briefly tried to take a medication also used for ADHD that wasn’t adderall, ended up in the ER as I check my BP regularly. Some younger kids might not equate a side effect of a bad headache with anything more serious..

He’s having a realization similar to Elon’s, he came out after the assassination attempt and praised Trump, so I think it’s a continuation of that..

Similar to what I did - I have a major in Physica and a minor in business. Thankfully it worked out for me, over the years I’ve gotten jobs due to the value that someone with a STEM degree brings - Problem solving, etc. I also learned the folks that understand that connection usually end up being good bosses! Business side was useful once I was already in the position and helped me move up. (Currently in a procurement-related field and loving it)

I skimmed the case from a little higher up, appeal was denied and she had to pay the city’s legal fees.. and they had like 7 attorneys. LOL

There’s traffic signal techs making more than that, none of it makes any sense

Wish I was less naive ~12 years ago! My husband at the time had $10k of bikes stolen from a locked bike room, inside of a locked garage. California cops said “oh that sucks..” Thankfully he kept his receipts and insurance covered them though. These days I would 100% carry them upstairs.

Makes sense as to why they’re so restricted lately. Can’t have people think they don’t need the vaccine!

Came here to say the same thing - it is so ugly! Picked one up in college over ten years ago now and it was fun (still is fun) to take out to the range. They do make some mods to make it a little less ugly though.

I love Taiwan too. I still have lots of extended family there, and so much family history.. especially Tamsui. Just thinking about it makes me sick.

Could be setting the stage for more “controlled opposition” ... highly unlikely but you never know. Kamala and Joe weren’t popular either but public opinion matters little with mail-in ballots.

If you go look at Reddit r/politics, they are saying that exact thing! “The people want socialism and the politicians are too far to the right”

When I had my baby a few months ago, I tested positive for COVID.. on top of my pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, etc. I had zero symptoms including no fever, no cough, I felt 100% normal, yet here I was getting the full plague treatment which made my birthing experience less than ideal.

They also tested my baby daily and would only stop if he tested positive. They refused to give me another test, too. Just in it for the $$$ without any concern over how it’ll affect their patients. I counted as a “COVID patient” but I wasn’t.

Thankfully I’m in rural Alabama - we’re safe from that, for now..

Just had a baby in April - I plan to use all these “child tax credits” to eventually pay for tuition at the private Christian school close by. Not homeschooling, but still much better than the alternative!

I’m due in two months.. working from home was very productive for us!

Stayed at this particular Hyatt last year for work (right before COVID closing everything was a thing) and it was AWESOME. It’s a great hotel for what it is, it’s geared towards business conferences and they couldn’t care less if a couple people are boycotting them.

I wish our governor in AL acted a little more like him regarding COVID. She is beyond useless.

LOL you have a point.. but right now, I will take too much togetherness over another deployment, that’s for sure!

It’s been almost a year now that I’ve been working from home - my company has said that they found it to be more productive and the employees love it. So why not? A lot of our business can’t be WFH, though.

Plus I’m 30 weeks pregnant and the flexibility this allows me is tremendous, and I’ll be working from home indefinitely.. between my husband and I we won’t have to fork over all that $$$ for daycare.

They made a new domain - it is now patriots.win .. partial rebranding, partial rogue mod that owned the domain. It sucks but I kind of like the new direction (same as before, just more focused on the “movement” vs just Trump the man)

Can always find it using communities.win also.
