Oh my gosh what I wouldn’t do for pizza delivery! I have celiac and my kids are autistic, one of whom only eats like 7 things (pizza is not one). My husband gets a gold start for keeping us all fed/alive.

You have described his occupation perfectly. It’s not always as awesome as it sounds tho: tonight he had to referee 4 screaming boys in a bouncy house in our living room while making dinner. I’m happy to report everyone survived.

Very little, I basically achieved everything 10 year old me wanted (own a house, work with my dad, have a house husband, own a car - I was a really boring 10 year old).

Eat Tex-Mex food. And Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown is in that area.

I hope your treatment goes well!

Brondo, the thirst mutilator.

I don’t decorate, but my husband does (he’s super into it and I am not). He decorates the house for Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. One year, my kids made me put a waving jack skellington on my back windshield wiper.

Ranch dressing. I hated it for years, but I moved to the suburbs and suddenly it tasted good (seriously). 🤷

Maybe it is because of this: https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-lets-246-billion-boy-scouts-sex-abuse-settlement-proceed-2024-02-22/

I buy it for my kids because they are on the spectrum and McDonald’s French fries are literally 1 of 7 foods one of them will eat. I would eat it, because I love it, but I have celiac and can’t.

Bed. Sleeping is the best.

This did in fact blow my mind!

Dumb question: where do you store your eggs now, if not the fridge? My American mind is reeling.

I went cold turkey with the help of Wellbutrin. Best of luck!

This was really on me, but I once ate yogurt that was well past its expiration date and ended up with hives everywhere.

I own a small business and have had great luck hiring people from small liberal arts colleges with degrees like philosophy, history, humanities, etc. These folks are smart and with the right training can do anything. Even better if they have worked fast food in the past (weird, right?). MBA graduates are expensive but require the same training and support - so I personally won’t hire from that pool. Although I have an MBA because it was a box I had to check for a previous role. I got the cheapest one possible and have no regrets.

Yes, but I’m lazy as shit and often need pressure to do anything beyond scrolling through Lemmy. 😉

I worked at a place that rolled out employee ownership after they were like 250 people. If you can’t offer ownership right away, you can offer a decent profit share (requires some amount of financial transparency to help communicate the value to the employee).
