I notice lefties. Im right-handed and when I was little and much dumber I wanted to be left-handed. So I did a bunch of weird shit to force it. Stuff like wrapping my right hand up for whole day, trying reverse controls for video games, wearing my watch on my right hand, etc. Some stuff did take, like the watch on my right hand, which ironically made my right hand more dominant. Being a lefty is the club that I was never able to join but think about subconsciously all the time I guess.

Bakachu ,

Yeah when I'd "disable" my right hand I'd have to wait for the weekends or homework that involved writing wouldn't be able to get done. You did this as an adult? That's dedication. I think in time anyone could adapt if they had to or could afford to be low-functioning for a while but I always wonder if there's shortcut steps to start rewiring your brain to not automatically assign tasks to your dominant hand.

Yeah that food court stop is the consolation prize to drain out that last $5 in the account.

Alabama hospital halts IVF after court ruled that embryos are “children” — Supreme Court decision means anyone who destroys embryos could be prosecuted criminally or face punitive damages ( arstechnica.com )

Alabama hospital halts IVF after court ruled that embryos are “children” — Supreme Court decision means anyone who destroys embryos could be prosecuted criminally or face punitive damages::Anger and uncertainty spread in wake of Friday's ruling by the state's Supreme Court.

Bakachu ,

Okay. Don't stop there Alabama. So if an embryo is now a child, let's talk now about dependents and tax exemptions, protective services, custodial rights and responsibilities, welfare benefits, insurance requirements, HOV rules, census counts, adoption and fostering rules, school districts and education funds, estate planning and probate.... You wanted to open Pandora's damn box - now every piece of state legislation that involves a child now needs to be adjusted.

Might get interesting in the news as questions arise over what the new guidelines are. But of course they won't get addressed. Of course, of course.

Bakachu ,

So its like the lava game then. But for your dick.

Bakachu ,

No that's a misdemeanor. But only if you demonstrate intent. Up to the police to decide.

Bakachu ,

Fully agree with this. Anything in the arts immediately comes to mind. Not just performing arts either - history, literature, and philosophy fields have a lot more uncertainty with income than others.

This is one of the reasons why I favor UBI and universal health care. I think there's a growing deficit in overall creativity, leisure, and social engagement that the arts and other so-called lower-income jobs provide to society. And its not that people care more about money. You just dont have the option to pursue these jobs when your income level affects life or death decisions for you and your loves ones.

U.S., Texas Attorney Who Drugged Wife's Drinks To Induce Abortion Sentenced to 180 days in jail ( www.huffpost.com )

His wife Catherine Herring, who has filed for divorce, told the court the jail sentence was not long enough. She said their 1-year-old daughter, their third child, was born about 10 weeks premature, has developmental delays and attends therapy eight times a week....

Bakachu ,

I'm mildly optimistic that this judgment can now be used as case law for all the prosecution efforts against women and doctors as a result of Texas' fucked up abortion law.

I think the 1978 boy name is going to make a comeback:

I work in a tech-field and for most jobs I've been on there's been core business hours that you're expected to be in your office which gives all the workers a little bit of flexibility. Core business hours are usually around 10am to 1pm. How it works is you do your 8 hours however you want, so long as the building is open, and you are in the office during core hours. We have a good-sized early morning group, also a smaller group (usually younger) that comes in later in the morning and hang out til 6 and then go out for drinks afterwards. Most of the jobs also allow people to flex their hours within reason. So you can work a 8+ hour day to work a shorter day later.

This little bit of flexibility is so great - allows parents more time with their kids, going to appointments, avoiding traffic, etc. Literally saves you so much in PTO and $$, as well as other residual benefits to your health and wellbeing.

EDIT - For clarity, they usually don't show semi-flexible/flexible work schedules in job postings, but definitely ask during interviews. Let's be real, a 4-day, 8-hour/day schedule won't manifest in this lifetime, so this and WFH are the next best things.

Worked a 2-10pm shift and actually loved it. Its definitely lifestyle-dependent but it suited people who were younger and single. A group of us would go out to bars/clubs right after work and the be able to sleep in. The best part of this middle shift is that its not hard on your circadian rhythm AND you get to avoid most management presence for your shift.

Had a couple of rabbits as pets and almost never had this problem. I was always tooling around in the produce shelf looking for a treat for them. Made me more aware of produce that was expiring.

Caveat: If you do have a rabbit or are thinking of getting one, stay informed on what they can eat and how much. Learned from their vet that too much calcium-rich produce was not good for their urinary tract. Fruit and carrots were bad for their teeth and should be given sparingly.
