I haven’t found a bluetooth set that works well with the deck yet. Everything seems to have a second of lag in the headphones when on bluetooth, that I never experience with wired. I’ve used both an old pair of Samsung earbuds that cane with an android phone over 5 years ago, which worked fine, and my personal go-to pair of Turtle Beach earbuds, with detachable boom mic. I leave the mic in my case unless I’m using it, and everything works well with that setup.

I live in New York, one of the most northern and blue states around, and have my entire life. In 7th grade I decided I didn’t like saying the Pledge of Allegiance, the name alone sounded odd to me, like why are children pledging themselves to a country, when we can’t even really understand what that means? So I stopped.

The school staff lost their minds.

Luckily my parents taught me to be firm in my beliefs, if I had truely thought about them and believed them. So I stuck to my choice, and my parents backed me up on it when they arrived at the school 45 minutes after the Pledge normally ended.

On a side note, I had read ahead in my Social Studies textbook that week, and learned about Nationalism in Nazi Germany, and it had sounded strangly familiar to me. Not long after the Pledge of Allegiance incident happened.

“Thoughts and prayers” seems to have crossed the pond. I genuinely hope they are more useful over there, because they are absolutely worthless here and usually indicate that nothing of consequence will be done about the matter.

I can unabashedly say I have been enthusiastic enough with my partner to the point that “squeaker toy” is something of an intimate joke between us. I had assumed that others would have similar experiences or understanding. That’s on me.

“Your a cute short-queen, sure. Been wondering what it would be like to have a squeaker toy, let’s go take a bath together to celebrate.”

Edit: I am unsurpised and mildly disappointed that some folks have such narrow minds combined with a lack of humor. Truly a pity.

Disassociation mostly.

Biker Mice from Mars, I loved that show as a kid, gave me a lifelong appreciation for Root Beer

Miss Piggy would definitely call it a Boarbarian, however.

Sounds to me like there is a class of people that shouldn’t continue to hold position. Even Jesus said the rich where detestable. “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to enter heaven.” Once ‘rich’ and ‘poor’ aren’t a viable distinction anymore, the problem you describe is resolved. Not that other problems wouldn’t be present, just saying some change is needed.

TURN DOWN FOR WHAT

Then you didn’t donate anything, you sold it.

“I sold some of my own body parts to try and escape crushing debt.”

There, fixed that for you. Unfortunately, many of us are in the same boat, so I sincerely hope you can escape now, good luck.

I did a seasonal stint at a Target Warehouse recently, and while there wasn’t anything blatantly antiunion, the effort is absolutely there. There is alot of talk about open door policies, open communication lines between management and workers, and a culture of “trust”. My emphasis, their words. They also have a standing policy that, out of context, is very odd. Knowing what I do about antiunion measures, it’s very blatant. They have a fiercely reinforced policy that there is to be no distribution of any papers or solicitation of any kind during work hours or on Target property. They attempt to rationale it with an example of people “asking for kids fundraising orders or public funding websites”. Personally I’ve never known those to be even a mild distraction at any workplace.

Tiefling Bard, I see.

I’ve been having a similar problem the last couple days, can’t seem to find a solution yet however.

I roll a 3 on my investigation check. Do I get advantage since I have Darkvision?!

Perhaps look into the symptoms of ADHD? I had this same issue for a long time, swinging between being hyperfocused and then not being able to stand the task or project for a second longer. Turns out I have ADHD and just never got diagnosed. Now, I have a name for why I swing between these two extremes.
