I’m so grossed out that they’re always going on so much about their TAXPAYAH DOLLAHS. Here’s a deal: we complain in proportion to what is spent on our hatreds. I get to talk about the wars and you get to say two sentences!

Huh. Is that kind of a medical provider thing in Texas though? I used to live in California where no one ever asked about my religion. I moved to North Dakota (I KNOOOOOW) and every time I interact with the healthcare system they want to know my religion. The psychiatric office needed to know. The hospital system…

In North Dakota, you don’t even have to register to vote. You just show up. And that’s the only progressive thing about the whole state!

The intangible of the stress of commuting is also a huge consideration. When I lived in the San Francisco area, I would have paid someone to fly over the traffic.

I just like him because he’s an MSU alum who’s doing pretty well so far. But failure to strangle Dan Snyder is definitely a big detraction, you’re right.

Oh god. I wasn’t too distressed by the HGH thing, but ew. Is there dirt on Kirk Cousins? Other than the nuisance of him playing for the Washington team. I heard he fosters puppies!

Is that true? Great, now I have to find some other favorite player.

But will it work in North Dakota?

The advice in my field for this malady is “start your own business then” but I feel like I'm not up to that challenge. I'd hate to create shitty jobs for others!

Yeah. Big time. But my resume has turned into a job hopping disaster. I just interviewed for a job I really want and they were a bit “wtf?” About it. But I got a second interview so whatever I guess?

In a way I agree, but I’ve found if I try to control this behavior, eventually it all just comes out at once all over my poor husband. I try to make jokes about it when I vent to take the edge off. But with my current job, I’ve been not complaining, telling myself I can’t complain about the job really, then something…

I keep changing jobs to get away from crappy ones... but now I wonder if something’s wrong with me and I need to learn to put up with shit.

I think if you enjoy it, it’s fine. It all depends on how you feel about it. I always feel like I spend too much time dicking around on the internet (helloooooo) but then I realized I enjoy it, and sometimes just don’t have the energy to do anything more constructive, even reading a book.

Even more frequently!

RNs always have to let you know they’re RNs. I think it’s part of their training.

I recently moved to a town obsessed with FCS football (hint: they won five damn national championships in a row) and it took me a while to realize that when people incessantly talked about going to Frisco, they meant the Dallas suburb and were not saying San Francisco wrong.

Or not stay at an Airbnb after learning this particular gem of information?

I actually literally gave myself Achilles tendinitis trying to beat my time on those apps and constantly checking my pace. It’s been so much better since I deleted all that stuff off my phone.

I’m trying to think of some counterargument to this involving the NCAA being just as evil, but this is one thing college sports have going - the college team will keep representing the college. Even if individual players or coaches piss you off by splitting, the team entity is still there.

Is it 10 times worse than not being a Michigan fan in Michigan, or 100 times?
