Climb down off of your soapbox. Amazon is what it is because of early strategic decision making and long term shittiness. I’m talking about aggregation and exposure to semi-local partners.

I’m trying to use Ebay more often but the source is hard to verify.

I just wish there was an aggregator that isn’t Walmart or Amazon or Temu. I try really hard to spread my shopping around and actually buy local when I can. It just sucks Amazon is so easy.

I take full responsibility for myself. I try to shop independently when possible.

Yes. There are no whales in Texas.

Holy shit people. It’s a fucking joke. Look at the photo… It’s a Google ad algorithm.

I didn’t realize the shitpost community also comes with its own Reddit bots. Nice! The assholery is appreciated. Thank you for throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Texas checking in… We don’t have as good of names like that but we have cities like Paris, Athens, and Odessa, TX. I think there are maybe 20 to 25 international city names that would make a fascinating road trip and probably be over 1K miles/1600 Km.

Muadib.

That sounds great. I love me some rice and beans. TY

How do you do rice and beans together? I know I could GTS but I like people’s personal take on things.

Can I suggest a bidet wand? Super easy to install and great for the messy poo.

I’d at least get one with a motherboard from a reputable company and install my own Win/Linux build. Too much chance for bad actors otherwise.

Listen Linda… Sometimes you go to HD, buy stuff, and then forget you have to get it home.

I used to make the rounds in the largest libraries around me. I’d find the coziest spot to hide in. At Uni I’d find a good study cubby and hide there. Napping also helps with a nice jacket on.

I suspect it depends on the school. Also I think it depends on the student’s needs and intentions. Tai chi can be very effective against many competing styles.

I practice “internal” and “external” kung fu and first things first… All real kung fu is both. If your Shifu is teaching both the internal and external aspects of the art then you are getting the full experience. Any martial art was developed for fighting, however there can be a very fulfilling experience when you connect the mind and body during training and execution. It sounds like your teacher has you on a good path.

May I suggest that tai chi is very much a combative fighting style that simply has a larger audience with two chi for health. All of the forms can be sped up and effectively used as a martial art.

It seems like you are getting more knee jerk than actual answers here. There is no evidence of any discrimination in asking to deblur the camera by itself. It also has nothing to do with an I9 validation. The I9 validation is checking for employment eligibility and citizenship status and that’s it. See below for the remote procedures. The employer’s obligation is to be consistent in the procedure and not discriminatory with the procedure based on race, gender, etc. I just think that HR drone is a dumbass.

Lastly, I think based on your other response to another poster she should take the job and just be keenly aware if anyone else in HR asks other funny stuff. There can always be dumbasses in every department and that’s not a reflection of their ability to be lawful or a bad company. I also think it’s worth reporting the person if they keep doing funny stuff.

I think we went through 3 trannys on one within the warranty period… Great ride with sliding windows and sliding door. Good times. I recall my dad showing me the engine under the hood. I don’t have any idea how someone worked on it. It was horribly crammed in.
