Except in Paris. Paris, people just want an excuse to be a dick to you.

Lmao. A twitch streamer I watch took a trip to Europe a few weeks ago and Paris was the one place he hated because everyone there were assholes

It has its own seasoning inside

Oh cool someone else who has no idea what they're talking about! I'm in the education industry and work closely with 7 schools in my local district. No one is grooming or indoctrinating children, those are conservative buzz words. They're simply teaching the kids that if they don't feel like they fit the gender norms that it's okay.

Speaking up as the director for a smaller nonprofit after school care company. There's lot to consider here. Our main facility is located in unincorporated LA county because it's nestled right between two proper cities. For the schools we have our program at the minimum wage is currently $15.50/H, but our main office falls under the unincorporated LA county rules (even though we operate in a lower income area and this min wage is intended for places like Beverly Hills when we're over an hour north of LA) so the dozen workers here we have to pay $16.90 minimum. We love our employees though so we often try to beat minimum wage for them, averaging about $17/H over our 60 employees.

This still leaves us with a higher cost for our services than we'd like - I think our breakdown is about $6.50 per hour which is still a lot for our local economy and we often give discounts. The child care resource center helps but the qualifications are ridiculous to meet for some reason so even though over half of our families should qualify, only about a fourth actually receive funding. Because of all these things, I only make about 45k/year while being one of two people (the other being my boss) running this company of 60 employees servicing 300 students.

State and federal govts need to step in to provide funding for child care. I shouldn't have to be worrying about my own financial stability with how many responsibilities I have at work and our families shouldn't have to cry to me on the phone about them not being able to afford proper care (please know I don't brush these parents off, we are kind people that give heavy discounts to families in need). It's a disgusting situation all around. After working in this industry for over a decade it makes me not want to have any kids of my own, ever.

P.S. Fuck the Boys and Girls Club executives. We share school campuses with their programs and we are often intervening in fights between kids on their program cause they notoriously understaff their sites and only ever seem to have 17 or 18 year olds working for them who have no idea what they're doing.

Lol my set up is a 22" 1080p on the left for basic web viewing, 28" 1440p center for games, and a 32" 1080p on the right for videos/twitch while I'm playing games

But they are still lacking in fast vapour production

Literally only complaint with them! My One doesn't take too long but my first hit is always low vapor. The Arizer takes a hot minute to heat the flower up. Once it's going though it's my favorite way to smoke.

But i wouldn't expect to get massive clouds off sipper vapes like a mighty, crafty, mflb, vmax, potv one, etc.

While generally true I've gotten some pretty thicc clouds off my potv one with a long draw. Regardless, a couple hits from my Arizer xq2 or my potv one get me pretty solidly high even if I'm not getting big ol clouds.

Remember, I did public transport on the daily for several years. Never again.

You have the entirely wrong takeaway from this lol. Knowing how bad public transportation is should make you want to strive for changes, not add to the problem by clogging up the roads.

Skill issue! I have no problem maintaining low speeds in my car lol. Honestly, for the safety of those around you, please take a driving course so you can safely practice driving at low speeds.

Every single person I've met who says that only ever votes conservative lol.

Wait holy shit. I was in a thread talking about the 15 and it was mentioned that Apple seems to be heading this way with the hardware they've been adding. This would explain why they didn't fight this bill

"I've never once felt threatened that a woman would do any of these things" Oh well if you personally have never experienced such a thing, it must not ever happen to anyone.

Have you looked up how little this happens to men compared to women? Unprovoked, it's almost non-existent. Again, if you're being threatening to women then I'm not surprised this happens to you.
