Besides overhead I wonder if they are including staff like case managers or something to assist these individuals in adjusting? I hope so. Transitioning out of homelessness is important too.

The article did speak about "subcontractors"

This. I now almost never buy beef jerky unless its SMC Jerky because I tried their beef jerky once 10 years ago at like a farmers market or something. I almost exclusively eat these and Ajays Montana Bananas. For SMC Jerky, Honey Glazed thin cuts are my fav and Ajay's their teriyaki is the best.

Social workers are all recommended to have a personal therapist for themselves. And its possible for the personal therapist to also have social work degree

This. At least there is an attempt and you're not left wondering. Rejection also isnt a bad thing. Its honesty. Rather someone be honest with me then dwell on "could be" "maybes" and just false hope as someone down the thread mentioned.

I think the larger point is that teachers are having to pay for their own supplies as well which are necessary like books, art supplies for younger populations, paper, writing utensils, etc. Its a well known fact that unfortunately teachers have to do this as some schools are not providing these materials/supplies.

Very different than a show and a TCG

Between the two, Flesh and Blood looks like long term would have more staying power. They are currently having international and local events. Looks very cool... And tempting haha. I love TCGs too but it is an investment and time consuming....

The Americans is the best show ive ever seen. Absolutely brilliant from the story to the acting.

My favorite show is also Haunting on Hill House. Its on Netflix. Perfect for Halloween if anyone is interested.

This or some kind of psychosis... Mental health, neurocognitive abnormalities scare the shit out of me. That its very possible it can happen to me.

Unsure what "stable" means but if youre looking to work from home with a nursing degree: Insurances, utilization management/review, public health, call center (Kaiser call center RNs make BANK), etc. If you want more daily flexibility in your schedule I had some friends take a paycut to do home health or hospice. Theres so many routes... And of course different jobs outside of nursing.

I do not think I blame any services or sites for paywalls especially if its part of their financial model to continue operations and providing services.

There are many free services I have the privilege of being able to pay for to support: Proton, StoryGraph, Wikipedia. I used to donate to Pocket but no longer. I want these services to continue and am privileged enough to be able to donate

Well I guess for me is wondering if this trend started because people thought it would be either functional or cool vs businesses being malicious and their aim was more surveillance tolerance?

People dont think its weird to have a camera on a laptop or phone anymore. Instead, people sometimes are now buying phones for the picture quality... And fridges with WiFi because the tech is cool or something.

Many influencers too in general.

The addition of microphones and cameras to things like phones, computers, watches and other technology is to normalize being surveiled as well as minimize other privacy violations. We now have fridges that have WiFi capabilities now and often in the presence of some sort of device with a camera due to phones.

I would think games like Divinity Sin 2, Balder's Gate 3 have solid stories given their nature.

Theres also simpler games like Cat Quest II, Diablo IV (I thought story was very meh), A Way Out, etc.

You just have to look? No genre preference listed

Pet Semetary by Stephen King.

And just finished We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer... It was okay. Wouldn't be something I recommend as nothing was amazing. Interesting story but thats about it

I prefer them fresh but if needed, I retoast them when I get home especially with undercooked fries like Wendy's . Ensures they are hot and crispy

I remember reading it in high school and thoroughly enjoying it. Great time to pick it up! Almost Halloween!

Career fairs and some colleges may have writing centers or people that assist with cover letters, resumes, etc.

If you dont have that opportunity, I would search some up. Find ones that resonate with you and copy it but make it your own. Thats what I have done and ive been fairly successful. You can tie personal stories in them and still make them sound professional.
