The ability to instantly make anyone stub their toe.
The chicken is amazing, but there are issues with the original owner and a contentious lawsuit. :(

Heaven Sent might be better, but they also aren’t down here in Oregon yet. :)
Ezell’s Chicken, but only in Seattle and Beaverton, OR.
Feb. 2008 my spine tried to kill me. Lower lumbar spinal stenosis.
Did a bunch of stuff, winded up on vicodin. At my peak, just to function as a normal human being, I was taking 10 a day.
2 when I woke up.
2 when I got to work.
2 at lunchtime.
2 when I got home.
2 to be able to sleep.For a year, it felt like my head was stuffed with cotton.
I got tired of not being able to think so I stopped the vicodin, managing the pain with stretching, breathing exercises, and meditation.
The pain never left, but I could “distance” it, like shouting from the house across the street.
I would not wish stenosis pain on my worst enemy.
Nobody gets out of high school and gets the job they want when they grow up. ;)
Your first job is going to suck. It’s going to be hard work. The pay and hours are not going to be great. You won’t be respected as an employee or often as a human being.
What it’s going to teach you are organizational skills. Show up on time. Do the best job you can do. Admit your mistakes and learn from them.
Carry what you learn there to the next job and the next job. Do better each time. Learn new skills. Find jobs that interest you.
If you can, go to college for a STEM degree, network with other people and employers, and when you get out of college, you can do what you want.
If college isn’t for you, find a trade you’re good at and enroll in trade school. Plumbers, electrictians, HVAC techs, mechanics are never out of work.
Avoid: Retail work. Restaurant work. It will break you. Fine for when you’re in school, not if you’re out of school.

Ack! Ack ack ack?
The OG Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. I was like, 6? Spent weeks looking under the bed for pods.
The big reason is updates. Phones will only get Android and security updates for so long. After that point, you buy a new phone or run the risk of being exposed.
Thinking about it, trying to pump quality content into comics first and see how that works.
Population is soooo much lower, but that’s not necessarily a BAD thing.
I tried searching for a Comic Books group and it doesn’t exist. There’s one for Comics but it’s a ghost town and populated mostly with web comics. :(
Heard lemmy.ml and lemmy.world were being overwhelmed.
No, no, no, yes… ;)
Not really, I mean, yeah, my equivalent reddit account is 15 years old, is karma rich, one of my comments was added to reddits filing to the FCC in favor of net neutrality (hey, how does this new policy comport with net neutrality BTW?), and I’ve been added to a bunch of the special/high karma subs…
But what it boils down to is reddit has become hostile to me as a user. They don’t want my traffic? My top 1% of karma accounts? That’s cool.
Fark->Digg->Reddit-> Lemmy or something else.When your business model is user supplied links to user generated content in user created and moderated forums, that means your business model is INFINITELY replaceable.
Just getting my feet wet with Lemmy and Jerboa, let’s see how this shakes out.
In the US, you’d be likely to get arrested and charged. If you can’t pass a drivers test, there’s no way you have the money to actually bribe someone at the DMV.
