Definitely time for a social media blackout. My lib friends are gonna be insufferable and whiny and Chicken Little-ing all over the damn place.
/me working at a drug store chain in an immigrant-heavy part of Liberal Mountain and knowing that no one will do a thing about this new "threat" until it starts killing the hwite people
First of all, I don't have answers but I do have a hug if you want it. 
As for those 5 bad days, as someone who has been riding the depression/audhd train for a long time, all I can offer is that you have to expect them. Like when you wake up and it's that shitty day, acknowledge it. Tell yourself "ok, today is one of those truly shitty days. I'm gonna hate everything today". Sometimes that makes it easier to remember that it will end eventually and even if not it can at least help you remember to give yourself some grace that day.
I know that isn't much but I know that there are no real solutions.
He has the best pants of all of them tho
Sadly, the FDA shut down that loophole about a year ago. You could probably still find them somewhere online, but buying fish tank antibiotics from Chewy, for example, is no longer a thing.
Disabling call waiting so you can use dial-up. 5 1/4" floppy disks with Number Munchers and other Apple iie games in a lovely shades of green. All metal playgrounds. Rotary phones. TVs with knobs instead of buttons. Yep, I'm old enough for the club 🧓
That's what happens when you don't pay for it!
I cannot find the words....rage isn't even a start. I mean....just.........my son is FTM transgender. I would move heaven and earth to make sure he is able to transition at his own pace and has the support necessary. This just....the things I wanna do can't even be described in minecraft...

Take my already present well-masked neurodivergence, add in a sprinkle of major depressive disorder and a dab of PTSD from an abusive childhood. Mix in a few rounds on the Covid-mobile as a retail worker who already has chronic pain but can't get diagnosed because I just need to lose weight and I'll be fine.
Meanwhile, I hear about long-Covid insomnia, brain fog, fatigue, and all the other stuff that was already wrong with me but got worse during the pandemic. Considering my already long laundry list of issues, there's no way I could ever prove that the rona made things worse.
Deitie$ know that I can work. I don't Want to go on disability. But at the same time there are just some days when it all just Hurts...when the brain Just Doesn't Work. Since I'm "fine" 65%-70% of the time, no one believes how shit I feel the other 30%. Can we like somehow normalize "Nope today sucks, I won't be at work" as a legitimate reason to call off?
Have these people never seen Hook?
If you can cough find it online, the 2012 arena tour version is so much win. Tim Minchin is best Judas ever https://youtu.be/5lTwmK__TDo
Eta it also has a former Spice Girl as Mary Magdaline https://youtu.be/lw5HdK8_p6w
Fast food actually isn't that bad. I honestly think most retail/service jobs would be a lot more palatable under communism because there wouldn't be the constant push to cut labor costs. If McDonalds actually had all the employees it should rather than making one person do three people's jobs, it would be both easier for the workers and better for service overall. I could handle that.
Enjoy your break comrade!
I think I built that in Minecraft once...
That would be about 75% of the fanfiction on AO3. Dark Harry is a tag for a reason, as is Tomarry and Drarry.
Managers may not say anything that may be considered a threat or a promise in response to engaging or not engaging in union activity.
Managers cannot ask or interrogate team members about union activities or question team members about who is supporting the union or why people want a union.
Managers may not spy on team members who may be engaging in union activities but can observe their conduct in working areas.
But I'm also supposed to report any sign of union activity to my manager and a special email address set up by the company. :thinking-about-it:
Oh, and since my company loves acronyms, the above is listed as "TIPS". Can't Threaten Interrogate Promise or Spy
Anyone have some brain bleach now that I'm done "acknowledging" that I have read this bullshit?
"Unions will promise more money, better benefits, less discipline and improved workloads. However, all a union gets is the right to ask ********* for those things in negotiations.
Team members may get more, but they may get less or the same that they already have and be stuck paying dues." 🤮
Oh I know, but I'd have better luck explaining that to a 3 year old than a lib. I've literally had someone tell me they didn't give a shit about Palestine cuz they had LGBT family members and Trump would be so much more dangerous than Copmala for them. Literally been surrounded by libs who use fucking identity politics to excuse their genocidal bullshit.
