The worst part is that I have lost my toddler in my own damn kitchen while he is standing next to me (just walked right behind me while I was turning around).

Just a few and never spooky - its always a specific place. After the sleep paralysis incident above I started writing down any dreams about places/incidents in hopes I would show some miraculous power but so far none of the locations (I’ve got 8 really vivid ones) have manifested into reality.

Its always the most grounded stories that give me the biggest case of nopes.

I occasionally get sleep paralysis which is pretty awful in its own right. Its not recurring and its not a consistent figure or entity, I usually just chalk it up to whatever I ate or watched.

One of the most vivid was that I dreamt I was on a tour of an old building (its the US, so 1800s old) with a group of other…

My wife and I were at a croc/alligator rescue park in S. Carolina and my 7 year old wandered off with my 2 year old in a blink of an eye. I haven’t run in 10 years but I ran then.

They were fine, just had rounded a corner 10 ft away to get uncomfortably close to the fence to look at one of the largest crocodiles in…

“But does anyone need two Dodge Challenger Hellcats, One Charger Hellcat, a Durango SRT, and two Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawks?”

If you are trying to spend dodgily made money it probably makes more sense.

Fucking sleep paralysis - mine was always footsteps walking around the end of the bed and then speeding up as I tried to sit up a look but couldn’t.

Sorry you had to go through that, super fucking creepy :-(

LFG!!!!!

Lol what goal post move?

Well...as one at 40, I’m kind of at the edge. How many mid-30 year olds have the access - or interest - to write an biography on Feinstein (yes, I know I said “history books” but you know where I was going)?

That we also don’t have the tools in place to help the homeless at the level that is needed doesn’t seem like a reason to not have public transportation. It just means we also need to address homelessness.

There isn’t a Labor party because our voting system makes a 3rd party non-viable and our first attempts at a Labor Party were linked to the US communist party which fell apart in the face of the expansion of the USSR post WWII.

Well that is an awkward photo.

I remember when your family could basically walk you to the gate. I’m not sure if that was a better time or just a naive time.

Meh, that view helps management more than the guy who has to clean the bathrooms being allowed to do his job. I’ve seen no organized attempts to unionize white collar or other non-union, non-factory workers in my 20 years in the industry. Negotiations would be a lot less dramatic if 90% of the company were on one side…

Manchin is just continuing to be salty about the IRA; he’ll relent eventually after getting something else back.

For the first time in a while there is broad public sentiment for labor related actions. Coupled with high inflation and companies continue to be slow on wage growth, there is unrest in the labor force. Fed forcing rates higher might tamp it down but COVID and a changing perspective of younger folks on the important…

Non-union employees still gotta make a paycheck; getting let go by your employer for a no show might be great on paper but not when you gotta feed your family.

I think the rhetoric on both sides needs a tone down; Fain saying that the UAW is at war with the OEMs, that they are the enemy, etc. is not helping. There is a line between rallying your team for a long strike and tough economic conditions vs. treating your other coworkers who are not unionized and are just trying to…
