This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Ah life path number 3 combo for the Midwest woman. Become a nurse and have children.
Personally I'm bias, I saw four (women) friends either drop out of college, or get pregnant early, or one was convinced to give up her career by her future husband, all to drop in the fallback of nursing and then each have like 3 kids. They all live within 20 miles of where they were born and none of them followed through with the dreams they had. So I see this and my heart sinks remembering that, and wondering about them
I distinctly remember reading similar news a few years ago.
Yeah? I remember this documentary on some tube.
Could be another case. People do be fuckin'

This is similar to the reason that Commonwealth Edison, here in Chicago, stop the allowing the hiring of family members. In that instance the last straw is when somebody died in a third of the workers ditched work and went to the funeral.
Shame they didn't have a nepotism policy before.
Unless there are 3 of them hiding behind that machine, that looks like 11 to me?
Only 11 were available for the photo. I'm guessing the others weren't on the same shift.
Seems like that's a good time to go 'Oh, maybe we should change it to say 11 then'.
11 isn’t going to garner enough clicks. You need to pump up those numbers.
There’s a similar situation at my wife’s work. She’s one of nine to be pregnant, all on the same unit. At my work, there’s three of us who are either pregnant or whose wife is pregnant. All pregnancies, both at her work and mine, are due at around the same time.
Is this related to the phenomenon that women who spend a lot of time together start to align menstrual cycles? Or is that just a misogynist urban legend? I don't even know what's true anymore.
That's actually a myth. The thing is that menstrual cycles have different durations and time in-between. So given some time, those will coincide between them. Just like planet alignments and such.
@[email protected] read that so then wondered about the besties in high school who claimed its veracity
