What's the difference between emocore, metal core, hard-core , speedcore and death jazz?

People like to pick their own labels.

gonna be that guy but as you said you might be moving into education soon - and I used to make the same mistake myself but "remedial" has the same root as "remedy," so a "remedial class" fixes something wrong. "Remedial exposure" doesn't really make sense here as that would be "exposure that fixes something wrong with me" which is not quite what I think you meant

We did a year of unlimited time off. I took 2x1-week and 1x2 week and a few days here and there.

At the end of the year they announced no time off except Christmas and Thanksgiving days during Nov thru Jan and you can't take more than a week off at the time.

They couple this with a company wide raise but if they don't change the policy after the moratorium ends in January I think I'd rather earn less and have more time off.

i do fairly often. just because you personally don't need to print stuff doesn't mean no one has to.

...until there are no cars without DLC

"I'll just buy a used car"

They'll just find a way to add DLC to used cars once all the new cars are fully monetized

Having lived and worked in both the UK and US, yes I pay roughly 4% less "tax" in the US.

but, as I didn't have to pay for Healthcare, and my student loans payments were a percentage of my earnings — vs the amount I've had to pay for Healthcare, copay, scripts, etc here. If we actually compare like for like and assume that Healthcare payments are only not called a tax out of a semantic convention for political reasons despite being practically a tax by nearly any definition - I've pay way more in """"tax"""" in the US.

Assuming the average person earns roughly $65k, would you pay an extra $200 for 100% fully covered, fully comprehensive, $0 co-pay, you walk in (to your nearest hospital, no need to check if they're in network) get an x-ray, a blood test, your appendix removed, stay over night, go back the next day for kidney dialysis or chemotherapy and pay nothing more than that monthly extra $200/rate in perpetuity? Especially as the average cost is $456 (+ co pay) for Healthcare and that usually isn't a "good" let alone the "best" package.

not to be too sophist about it - but while I agree party members care — the salient word in my above post is represent.

it doesn't matter if the captain doesn't want you to get shot if the general is telling the private to shoot you.

I strongly disagree that there are less distractions in the office.

I live on the east coast but my company is on the west coast, occasionally I fly out and work there and often the first hour, maybe 90 mins of the day is coffee run, breakfast, water cooler chat, stand up, more chit chat, second coffee run, someone comes over to chat, general melee as people muck around, someone makes a loud joke, hour lunch break, late.coming back. afternoon coffee run... it's just chaos

yes. I am a secular, apostate tarot reader. There is absolutely no "magic" in my Magick.
