My condolences to you. I hope that, some day, you find continuous relief. Thanks for sharing.

That’s awful, I’m sorry. May I ask how you broke your leg?

I’m in a similar position (I’ve gone into detail in previous posts). I remember, while waiting for the EMTs to arrive immediately after the injury, comforting myself by thinking “at least it’s not forever.” Even one of the nurses who rolled me into the OR said “in a few years you won’t even think about this.” Turns out it is forever (from my viewpoint) and I think about it nigh constantly.

Life is good in general, but you’re right. This part sucks.

I like “growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.”

Obviously that’s just restating your comment and I’m not trying to diminish your version in any way. This is just the way I heard it and I wanted to share.

Looks like Mojave does one comment above you.

I don’t know yet how to link to a user.

What was your injury?

I was wondering something similar. Maybe this is an innovative approach to heart surgery.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever encountered an “I like my women” comment that wasn’t explicitly misogynistic (outside of the “my women” part).

Torn.

Thank you for the information!

Also, I infer from your response that you also remember that part of Red Dwarf, which is awesome.

Maybe.

I’m only familiar with the term “BSc” from Red Dwarf, wherein it’s eventually revealed to mean “bronze swimming certificate”; however, from the context of the joke in the novel (and I think the show, don’t remember for sure), I assume it has some more impressive meaning in other uses.

Given the origins of that series, I was guessing British, but that doesn’t limit it much. My cultural ignorance is preventing me from forming a meaningful theory.

edit: I’m sorry, I thought this was a response to another comment I made, making my response 100% irrelevant. Please feel free to disregard.

edit 2: Though I guess the last line of my unedited comment still applies.

So where do you work?

edit: Though, based on some of the terms you used and the fact that you got a favorable employment agreement, I doubt it’s a country that would consider me.

I want to upvote this, but … Why did you have to shorten “relatives”?

That might have made more sense.

Sadly, DNS filtering does nothing for YouTube ads as said ads are hosted on the same servers as actual videos.

Rest sounds good.

Because of midichlorians?

But definitely not the moon.

That sounds like an automatic hangover.

I once asked a salesperson who was in the process of selling me a car. He answered that he would just report the income from the previous year.

At the time I was naive enough that it didn’t occur to me that loan applicants might want to shape the narrative so your last line would not have occurred to me.

I’ve only held one job that was even vaguely commission based and I didn’t make any big financial moves while I was there; however, I’ve always wondered what people with heavily commission based (or otherwise highly variable income like residuals or whatever) put on things like loan applications.

In my experience, kanban and agile might technically prevent an employee from doing nothing, but they also might very well facilitate someone doing nothing productive.
