Great breakdown! I’d like to add train to the options. OP might be able to utilize an Amtrak train for a portion of the trip depending on the travel destination. Here’s a map of their routes. Tickets can be purchased online, they offer assistance for disabilities, and they have places to lie down or eat food.

If you decide to fly OP, consider getting a pack of gum to chew on to help with pressure/popping in your ears during altitude changes of takeoff and landing.

100% agree. OP’s safety comes first and foremost!

It will likely scare them the first time as it’s new/unfamiliar, but they’ll begin to normalize it with repeated events (as long as there is no physical/situational aggressiveness toward them). Once they acclimate to the singing, they might still get a small jump scare if you begin abruptly belting out something, but as you continue the song they would likely relax back down recognizing it as not a danger. I find most pets will try to hide/runaway when they don’t like a sound, so indifference from a pet is akin to general acceptance of your presence imo.

Here’s wishing you a wonderful performance!

Maybe the FBI would be a better contact in this case? I may be wrong, but to me the brothers explicit words of intention and access to guns seems very much like a threat of premeditated domestic terrorism. If that’s indeed the case, here’s the FBI’s page with contact options near the bottom.

I’m so sorry you’re having to deal/live with this OP. You deserve much better. This internet stranger is proud of you for doing all that’s within your power in such a shitty situation!

Your genetics play a role in how you metabolize opioids. Here’s the study: www.acsh.org

What about those in prison who are chronically ill or people who caught something while being stuck in there? Surely they would have it far worse than those ill people in a regular hospital who, technically, can refuse treatment, leave, and even go elsewhere for treatment. That’s not considering the support structures that people in prison are given/allowed, vs support structures generally present in a hospital setting.

Your feelings of being trapped are valid. The frustrations of a less than ideal physical existence are heard. Being ill in any location truly sucks. But depending on the location, you may have more or less freedom and opportunities available to you.

They don’t care about the homeless so they don’t care that those poor people will still be homeless somewhere else. The rich just no longer have to see the unhoused -out of sight out of mind- as they say. Then since they’re now out of mind, they don’t have to fix or offer viable solutions for homelessness. The rich hope those poor people die as they’re deemed morally terrible people who are there directly because of their own failings. Plus it makes more slave labor available for today’s private prisons across the nation.

Also had a great sense of relief when mine was taken out. That wonderful absence of that particular pain was exquisite! There was other pains instead, but those pains had things that improved their symptoms while the gallbladder pain was otherwise untouchable by meds. My gallbladder had 3% working rate before it was removed.

It does kinda create the illusion of soapy bubble filled white water. If you change thinking about the ‘white water’ section to actually be the see through part in between clear round water droplets (the ‘bubbles’) that are clinging to the side of the container.

It’s most likely someone recently poured some water out of it from the spout at the bottom and what water is left on the sides from the former water line slowly makes its way down to the new water level.

According to the lyrics, they aren’t exclusively complaining, they’re telling “good stories” about their not-so-great experience which is a different thing. Also, they never tried to be a ‘good guest’ at parties, merely that they were found to be ‘interesting at parties’ because of their ‘good stories’.

That said, I really wish they didn’t repeat lyrics so much and instead told more of those “good stories” they keep boasting about.

Someone once described Oklahoma’s weather pattern with this list:

It’s Wednesday my dudes! (2014 meme)

Off Menu - guests get interviewed over their dream food meal menus

Song Exploder - singers, composers, musicians are interviewed about a specific song that they wrote/created/performed. It’s broken down into sections of the work and then the whole song is played at the end of the episode.

James Acaster’s Perfect Sounds - guests are given an album from 2016 that they listen to before the podcast recording, then they are interviewed on their opinions and thoughts about the album.

I am eternally sad about Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me and Ask Me Another going off the air.

Will’s Vegan Store has great color options for dock boots as well as an option for insulated boots for winter. I have the blue dock non-insulated and love them. I haven’t had issue with them or anything else that I’ve ordered from the website.

If one were to ignore the getting a position part, other changes include but are not limited to:

-an increase in people killing teachers/students/staff at nearly all levels of learning institutions. It’s not limited to the US and guns either (although they do make up a large portion).

-an increase in students showing outright disrespect or violence in a classroom to anyone but especially authority figures.

-due to the pandemic many teachers/staff died or retired, so there was a loss of guidance/mentors/knowledge as well as changes in policy/how things function.

-the abysmal shift in school work accessability during the pandemic created a general lack of knowledge/routine that would have formerly taken place during that time period. This means instead of being able to teach roughly the same curriculum for each class/each semester as one may have done for years, one must instead rework the course for a few grade(s) lower to accommodate the difference or fail a lot of kids that don’t have home support. (Additionally some teachers were already having to incrementally adjust curriculum each year since the No Child Left Behind Act was enacted).

-teachers/professor have been villainized in recent years by politicians and general pay/funding/grants have decreased (or rather never increased as the years changed).

-tenure tracks are going away in some places.

-the school or university could simply shutdown for numerous reasons in the middle of the semester with little to no notice given staff/teachers/students.

Their blogs just got integrated fairly recently with the fediverse.
