After the trumpers are done victimizing Latino and other immigrants, they will go after LGBT. The red hats are constantly equating being LGBT to being a groomer or pedophile. LGBT will be the next out group that gets kidnapped off the street with no due process, and pedophilia/sex crimes will be the justification.

I usually find out stuff like this too.
Yeah, there was one day I had a cohort of 50 animals that need to be harvested. Halfway through I had to take a break to throw up, and powering through to finish the rest of the group just had me dry heaving the entire time. I’m a Buddhist, I had not signed up for that originally, but sometimes the research leads places you didn’t expect to go. Finishing my postdoc and leaving that research was a happy day for me.
COBRA means you are paying full price. Here our cheapest family COBRA plan is nearly 3K a month. Individual is $1100 a month. No idea what her cost would be just to keep what she has through COBRA. Her net worth doesn’t tell you anything about how much she has in liquid funds. It could all be tied up in property, the market, or a trust that only gives her an allowance to live on. She also has an autoimmune disease and fibroids, which can require surgical removal. Yeah, she’s in a way better financial position than the average person, but she needs the insurance too. If she can get it cheaper by being employed, why shouldn’t she do that? Should she be forced to blow through her earnings to the point of being destitute just to get health care? No, and none of us should. Should being tied to a job be required to have health insurance, No, none of us should have to go through that. It’s indentured servitude with extra steps.
I was never into wresting, and never followed Hulk Hogan. Today I am learning about what a piece of trash he was.
These cone things are for rats and mice. When you put them into a tunnel shaped object, their instinct is to crawl forward. So they crawl all the way up, and their face sticks out the other end so they can breathe. You close up the bag/tunnel behind them with your hand, then you can flip them over and inject them with what ever your are testing. For those that never worked with animals, or just don’t have the dexterity to scruff the neck and grab the tail with one hand, this is a godsend. I also used these at the end of my experiments to decapitate my rats so I could harvest their brains to test that tissue for stuff. (I had to decapitate without anesthesia because we were studying phosphorylation of proteins in the brain, and most anesthesia absolutely fucks with that shit on its own.) I still have trauma from that work 15 years later.
It is. Many retail jobs like this maintain the same requirement; be available all the time, but we won’t schedule you enough hours to qualify for benefits or be able to afford rent.
Found some info on various sites. The average Safeway salary in the United States is $32,976 per year. Safeway salaries range between $27,000 a year in the bottom 10th percentile to $39,000 in the top 90th percentile. Safeway pays $15.85 an hour on average. Geographic location also impacts Safeway salaries. Safeway employees in Yakima, WA get paid the most. California’s minimum wage is $16.50 per hour. (Strike is happening out in CA.) Most of the data I am finding is taking the average across the whole country, which doesn’t take into account the higher min wage in CA. We can safely say that the floor for safeway workers out there should be $16.50 hourly in CA based on state law, and I imagine that someone working checkout, bagging, or the customer service desk isn’t making $27 an hour. Per Zip recruiter: As of Jul 15, 2025, the average hourly pay for a Safeway Employee in California is $12.43 an hour. While ZipRecruiter is seeing salaries as high as $15.66 and as low as $7.59, the majority of Safeway Employee salaries currently range between $10.67 (25th percentile) to $14.23 (75th percentile) in California. The average pay range for a Safeway Employee varies little (about 3), which suggests that regardless of location, there are not many opportunities for increased pay or advancement, even with several years of experience.
Basically, Safeway is paying higher wages to scabs because they think they can outlast their workers who will be on strike with scab labor. In theory, when the strike comes to an end, all the scabs would be out of a job. Higher wages for the scabs is supposed to offset the instability of their employment with Safeway. If the strike goes on long enough, theoretically, Safeway will cross a financial line where the scabs end up costing more than just giving workers a fair deal.
Where in my post did I say I was cheering for anyone to get hurt? Was there a /s at the end of my post. You are putting those words in my mouth.
The damn is located in Greene County, Ohio, which leaned Trump. (Vote was split 60/40%.) Sending my thoughts and prayers the next time it rains.
The only reason why I even knew this was a thing was because of a Joni Mitchel song called, “Magdeline laundries.”
Fuck plastic straws. I also don’t want to use the paper straws because they are often held together with glues/adhesives. As someone that worked briefly in chemical engineering making adhesives for chip components, resistors, and thermal paste, I don’t want what’s holding the paper straws in my body. Now I just sip straight from the cup, without a straw.

Rest in piss.
