Newer windows machines won't even let you install non-microsoft-store programs without checking a one-time-no-way-back-box of liability. So much for being an end-user...
Edit: And without a tertiary google search, the dialogue window language is designed to make users think "other" programs are not compatible.

I mean, I kind of agree here.

I'd go full chaotic lawful if you're mentality is "not a calling".

Follow the rules and directives as given.

It also sounds like you are on the way out of nursing. If you're not passionate about it, the job will eat you alive without a second thought and you're going to start seeing more and more things that irk you until you leave.

I'm also in the process of switching out of a "selfless calling" to what I hope is a fulfilling career.

Good luck with your next steps, whatever they may be.

Money-based penalties only keep poor people from stepping out of line; if you're rich enough, you can literally pay for what you did and move on.

"The incident happened in the city’s Carondelet neighborhood around 12:30 a.m. today, when a police SUV traveling northbound on South Broadway swerved across multiple lanes of traffic and into Bar:PM just as the LGTBQ bar was closing up."

Stonewall wasn't that long ago, was it?

"The 20 states where the baseline wage will remain at $7.25 an hour are primarily located in the South and Midwest, ranging from Alabama to Wisconsin. "
So, the states you thought weren't getting the raise are the states that aren't getting the raise, except Florida apparently!?

Does anybody know where these literal sexual demons are?
Because I want to avoid those places extra hard.

I'm the mom/dad.
I'm so proud of my kid!
(I have no clue what they're doing, I just know at age 10, every child has to leave home).

Give me about 5 years. I'm going solo, and just now learning how much I have to know, but I have concept art and music, so I'm making progress.

Someone posted earlier asking for the best means to not poop (and other requirements) for three days. Welcome to the next front page of the internet!

Your reply is disingenuous at best here.

  1. Trans people are a minority. Despite the public media attention currently, there just are not that many trans people.
  2. The minority status, as in literally not many people existing as in other groups, means trans people automatically feel more isolated, even in welcoming communities, because there are not many other trans people.
  3. Losing a large community where it is easy to connect, relate, and catch up with other people like you is awful. Just look at how many of us are here from reddit, and imagine if it were the 80s and all our parents were still anrgy at us for "Being on that %@#$ computer again! It's just a fad anyway!" Now think of that, but it's not just a hobby or a career path, it's who you are.
