    Just another aspect to the controversy.

    How many people did she kill and bury in the back lawn of the white house to confuse the public about her actual age +/- 2 years?

    Probably literally thousands.

    I'm actually taking this vote between Ernests as a declaration of Republican vs Democrat. Red vs. Blue.

    Hmmm...

    Shaz you doing grad school thinking?

    My thoughts on grad school is make sure you go for something either tied to moving up the ladder making the cost worth it or something you actually like and care about a lot.

    I did the latter. And the two years of grad school were amazing for developing skills, building friendships, and learning about stuff I am interested in. Also gave me the pass to get a job in that field basically. Before that I would of had a lot of issues.

    For MBA though the networking is more important than the degree. MBAs are super common and more generalized than MA/MS in specific areas of study.

    yeah

    i've been doing the thinking for 5 years now

    Like I know you get a bit of shiftlessness feeling from your work and that you don't get a drive unless the people around you kind of drive you like your last job.

    Maybe sit with some of your really close friends and think out the things that really interest and drive you.

    Not the things others expect of you.

    And then poke around see if there is a program to study that stuff is out there that is more interesting than an MBA just because you think that will be what work and stuff will expect.

    Über, Lyft, and taxi drivers probably have the most drive in their careers.

    earlier one called, he made sure to emphasize that he's a senior lecturer with two phds

    and then he did this pathetic helpless routine about signing into the new login for the first time, and said "I'd like to make an appointment for me and my wife to come in and have this all explained to us and set up for us"

    I told him he could just stop in the help desk and he said "how long are you there today?" and I said "we're open till 4:30" and he was like "no, how long are YOU there, and what is your first and last name please" and then he asked about my coworkers when I told him I was leaving at 12:30, and he's like "okay so we'll schedule the appointment for noon, with you" despite me repeating multiple times we don't do appointments and there's not really anything to set up

    he literally just has to log in and pick his timezone and shit
    Yeah but 99% of the people don't call you because they aren't shit heals. That 1% are just hateful pricks. The worst is, this shit is going to start calling your boss, and his/her boss, he's going to be obscene about just being ignorant.

    I see his type when I deal with the government, especially GSA. Since we are awarded lowest price technically acceptable contracts a lot. I'll shine em on and send the CO a delay claim with their name on it for extended overhead, and billable time. Do it once you'll get a nasty call, do it again and bill the time you got the nasty call, and they will never talk to you again.

    I tried to walk in heels one time. A friend with bigass lady feet helpfully supplied the shoes. I think I made it about 5 wobbly steps before falling over. Lucky I didn't sprain my ankle.

    You can keep them.

    Right, I also don't wear heels to work or anything cause I go for menswear or a menswear-inspired style. For occasionally going out or just wanting to be tall or have a striking outfit though, it's good.

    It's just that you're more likely to have back issues. Of course it depends on your body and build, etc.

    Boots with heels!

    It's probably because we all (?) only wear heels by choice/when we feel like it instead of feeling pressured by work* or societal standards.

    *maybe SIG has to wear heels to work?

    I'm really curious as to why the crash occurred at the same point in the game. When it switched from the menu to actually load the game. What goes on behind the scenes at that point which would cause the system to stop detecting the video card?

    Seems a bit too coincidental for it to happen twice in a row at the same point.

    Your video card needed more power to load in art/graphics/assets and it drew from the PSU, which promptly caused it to arc on those bottom PCIe connectors and killed your video card since it was not promptly snug in the PCIe slot.

    Which completely explains the marks on it.

    That makes sense, I guess similar to how flat feet are not always directly causal for my back shit but definitely influence how I move and make it more likely I'll get issues if I don't spend time avoiding it.

    Also I think I like that "smallies" can be applied across a range of physical features and it still works.

    "I gotta say they get in the way sometimes, but I'm thankful for my smallies".

    "I know they don't do that much to help with my balance, but my smallies are really cute."

    I've definitely heard that from people with large breasts. I have a distant friend who's been trying to get her insurance to pay for a reduction surgery for years. First it was that they wouldn't until she lost 15lbs.... then it was until she lost a total of 20... now it's until she loses another 5... basically I think they won't do it unless she stops looking "fat" because they somehow blame that for the boob size even though it's not like they've been shrinking as she has, and she lifts and sings professionally so I don't think it's a strength issue. She has sever back pain from them and nobody but her immediate family and friends (and her GP) seems to take her seriously about it.

    I know other people for whom it isn't such a serious problem, but it still definitely effects them

    I'm glad my breasts are on the small side of the large half of the graph because I really do not want to deal with that

    It turns out they are just kinda hard to wear and people who can't hack it are angry and bitter that they are missing out on free extra fake height (which is universally coveted by both sexes, or else cowboy boots wouldn't exist).
