Relevant, but there was an incident in the news where a Californian cop murdered a couple in their home. It later came out during investigation and audits that he failed his psychological exam. The same thing with many others just in that department - failing the exam and still being active duty. So the sheriff’s dept was under fire and had to re-test people and strip their badge/gun if they failed. But the problem is likely very pervasive amongst law enforcement. This whole sweeping mental health under a rug.

Nods I see you. I too browse by “new.” You’ve been a pain in their ass😂

Yes exactly. You say that to someone once their work obligation has ended. It means I’m acknowledging that work sucks, but I hope you enjoy the rest of your day (now that it’s over).

Seen lots of psychos in upper management. Lots of two faced weasling, lying, backstabbing, torching relationships, stepping over people in their thirst for power over others.

They’re starting in LA for several dates. I’m so there😁

Yeah, plus new comments don’t bump the thread up. Well if it’s a dead thread. Comment away!

Good move. Yeah this back and forth is pretty silly, like it’s not that serious lol. We got what you meant.

So many answers getting upvoted bc they’re saying what OP wants to hear. Lemmy does not live in reality.

I’m one of those efficient employees who sometimes get taken advantage of. I generally don’t let it bother me because I’d rather just get the shit done. And they know you get shit done, that’s why they give it to you lol. It’s almost a compliment in a way? Shoot, they may even thank you, like “I’m glad you’re here” or “now that MelonYellow’s here, I know we’re good.” And of course - management loves you. Being cool with the higher ups is a perk in itself, should anything come up.

Of course some days it’s annoying, but it takes a lot for me to show it. Because I dislike whiners. Unless it’s egregiously unfair, I just do the assignment because it’s not worth rocking the boat. And guess what? The people who suck at work suck in their outside lives too. At the end of the day, I’m confident in my worth. I have the power, not them. I’m not stuck at this particular job - I chose it because of XYZ reasons. I’m paid very fairly for what I do. And I don’t think about work when I’m off the clock because I have my own life/hobbies that make life awesome. That all helps a lot.

Seconding Athlean-X! The Youtube channel’s been around for forever, the guy is an actual physical therapist, is fit as heck, gives the facts and exercises to you straight, no nonsense.

Really bad thread-breaking comment spam under this post: https://lemmy.world/post/34824537

This is sad. Can’t believe he hit Dave again backstage. I wanted to hear what Perry has to say, but he was probably told by his publicist not to.

Also there’s a city of 20 million people like 10 miles from the border that could get nuked just by conventional weapons. Adds complications

I had gator recently that was a plain fillet and not a fried nugget or something like that. I thought it was like a cross between chicken and a meaty fish. It tasted like chicken, but there was a slight sponginess and the way it pulled apart reminded me of fish

Forgot to mention blackened salmon! Perfectly cooked. I like mine with beurre blanc sauce😁

You missed all the great seafood!

My top 3 instant guaranteed to get my mouth watering foods are:

Vietnamese clay pot catfish (braised & caramelized)

Boiling Crab shrimps (Cajun-Asian seafood chain)

Hunan steamed fish (with salted chilis)

Activity🐶 :p

Idk but it’s regarded as “asian cheese” lol. I put the jar in the fridge and it’s such strong brined chili stuff that I’ve never had it spoil on me. Just be careful with using a clean spoon every time. I eat a bit on the side with rice, as a condiment moreso. You just eat a smidge at a time because it’s really salty and strong, you’re not supposed to eat huge gobs of it (think anchovies or horseradish). Koreans will put it in sauce and soups too. But I’m Chinese-Vietnamese and eat it straight.

Just keep in mind, you may have this perception because the Americans you see are happy and on vacation lol. They’re traveling to another country, which selects for confidence and curiosity.

Have a pet? Also aquariums are nice for staring at and relaxing
