It’s more of a sorting thing than anything else. You have to have some degree of diligence and reliability to earn one. It has little to do with what you actually learned.

“So if you had a dysfunctional home life 20 years ago and someone called police,”

I’m surprised it didn’t also require “2-5 years experience in the field”.

You should be excited. Once all the idiot drivers turn into robots, they’ll be a lot more predictable. I doubt they’ll outlaw driver’s cars any time soon. That would be an extremely forward-thinking law that would cause a drastic financial impact for a lot of people, and governments aren’t known for quickness when…

Yes!! All of my co-workers are men. I understand.

You just BLEW MY MIND OPEN in dealings with our HR/billing/payroll/chief idiot. He’s so fucking reluctant to give an inch of info to me (anyone) and it’s definitely a power move. JFC I can’t believe I didn’t stitch this together sooner.

My favorite social media post is the lady who posted that we ladies are more afraid of no toilet paper in the bathroom than who is peeing beside us. For once, I'm proud.

That's great and all but why do you think anyone (especially the author) needed to know, or even cares really, about your unwillingness to empathize or understand? Not every thought or feeling you have is important enough that you have to express it, especially when it only serves to compound someone else's trauma. I…

I can imagine this: people who fall in love often speak of instant recognition that they have with their potential partner. With a genetic family member, I imagine that there is a similar instant recognition that the author describes. We have no model for this in a platonic fashion and so, perhaps, the circuits get…
