It’s because their bodies are closer together in back, and perspective is a bitch.

Think of it like a triangle, the side of them furthest from us is the top of the triangle, their feet form the two bottom corners, one corner per person, and her body appears to be situated further back (based on her back foot being behind his back foot). Her shoulder is probably in his armpit. So since their bodies are close at the distant point, and the arm is the one closest to the apex of the triangle, it looks like it wraps around too far.

I had something similar, except there was no hardware. They just tried to charge me for using my own router. It was a nightmare to get that removed from my bill, even with the agents going “yeah I see we didn’t leave anything, and your installer verified with our router and took that, but I also see it was shipped to you directly, so there’s nothing I can do”

Like cool, but nothing was actually shipped to me and even if it was that’s not my problem, it’s yours.

And no matter which one you pick, you are correct.

Even better, there’s 8.

last time I tried to get help I got profiled as a drug seeker.

This is so dumb and lazy, because of course you are seeking a drug, but they have tests they can throw at you that will pretty readily identify if the drug is appropriate for your needs..

Like if they had another actually workable treatment option that wasn’t just “feel really bad about not being able to do things and we’ll teach you how to live with that feeling!” Then fine, we’d all do that and not seek the drugs.. but it’s really not our fault that we need stimulants.

So dumb. Anyway, as others have told you, don’t let that one dumbass deter you. As outlined above, they are clearly dumb.

In fairness, it’s basically on-demand campaigns. So it probably depends very very heavily where you are. I looked though the reviews.

Admittedly their onboarding could be better, but it’s fast (2 days from interview to start), just during any given campaign season most people are learning for a while, the campaign swells ahead of the Election Day and then almost everyone goes back to whatever else they were doing. They do have a core HR team to handle important stuff like getting paid.

And yeah, canvassing is long hours, but it is still well paid for what they ask of you.

I’m interested in learning the context here.

Because modernity also hates women and I guess I’m ignorant but.. weren’t there options for women then..? Like midwife/doula-type things, herbalist/witch, spinster/seamstress-clothier?

Potentially more than they could have in modern history?

If you live in a swing state, or can temp relocate to a swing state, and want to get paid for progressive outreach (who really has the luxury to volunteer? Not me..) Check out https://www.theoutreachteam.net/jobs

I’ve worked with them in 2020 and presently. That link doesn’t give me any bonuses, but they do have recruitment incentives if you have friends to get involved. Pay is decent, and they offer insurance on day 1. It’s obviously a limited term contract, but if you need funds, it’s a great way to get income and make a difference at the same time!

I’m slightly upset the person is not named Joan. Joan’s bones sounds a lot better than Jon’s bones.

She looks like what happens when you try to put a knock-off Barbie’s head on to an actual Barbie frame, and you push it down far enough to engage the swivel disc but there isn’t the proper lip for it so the head ends up super far down the neck, with the chin jutting out awkwardly.

I absolutely didn’t acknowledge that it isn’t the intent, I said it may not be.

I absolutely think that is the intent and I find those communities to be gross and have them all blocked.

You are so weirdly defensive about it. Almost like you know a lot of people find it highly questionable and they may have a point. If you think every anime fan is into that crap, you are very sorely mistaken, and if you don’t, you are using inapplicable generalizations to make a point and that’s just deceptive.
