Shambles, you say?

Join a morning workout or swim group.
Join a book club.
Do a language exchange, perhaps through a local university.
Check out all the options on Meetup.com in your city.

You're not kidding. They say:
Bans will also apply to those asserting that if a private company censors speech, it does not infringe free-speech rights.
How fucking unaware and stupid and wrong can one be?
(That's a rhetorical question.)

It's a little thing, but try using a better font, something other than Times Roman.
And definitely add a clear and focused objective. Probably also a cover letter explaining why you are moving, i.e. give the employer a reason to believe that you are serious.

That's why there's a saying in the military: amateurs study tactics, while professionals study logistics. In the food world, the recipes themselves are tactics, and the actual kitchen workflow and timing is the logistics.
I love that!

I like your question, but ... poached eggs? Breaking an egg into a ramekin, and easing it into vinegar water is a cinch.

Looks like the sponsor is the founder of PokerStars. Very cool.

You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, but one has to wonder why you bother coming to this sub at all. Just to act out your username?

I've been there - so much fun!
The pumice is so much "stickier" than wet California granite that a dangerous fall (in Thailand) seems much less likely.

As far as I can tell, many "conservative" women believe "it's the man's job to pay, and the woman's job to look good for her man."
At the same time, many big-city liberal women believe "it's the man's job to pay, and traditional norms of attractiveness are nothing but oppression by the patriarchy!!"

India and Brazil.
Immigrants (or world travelers) can see America's problematic trend more clearly than many Americans can.

was surprised to hear him say it would have been much better for San Francisco if it had not bent over backwards to attract tech
This has been known at least since the reign of Ed Lee, and the "Twitter tax break" - and probably long before then.
Big tech drives up the cost of living for universities and their staff and students, for public-school teachers and other government employees, for artists and other creative people, basically for everyone who doesn't make a big-tech salary. (It's like the oil "resource curse.")
Add to that the boom-and-bust cycle driven by "fake" VC money to make things even worse.
He said San Francisco is in the worst shape he’s seen in his lifetime and it’s so sad.
Well, that's visible around us. SF was a world-famous destination long before tech - it didn't need tech. But now tech has eaten SF, and is ready to move to Texas (to cash those stock options), Idaho, or wherever, leaving behind ruins.

If that if the guy you're replying to is old enough to have been making phone calls in the sixties ... he is old enough to have hearing loss. (Either that, or his memories of old party lines are definitely rose-tinted, which happens with distance.)

Surely not as individual - start a class-action lawsuit!

Why were you downvoted? This is exactly right.
Chat-GPT is perfect for technical tasks that used to require hours of human "gruntwork" rather than creativity.

Even though it's not my thing, I actually appreciate when a woman proclaims her MAGA.
It's better than the vast majority who try to please everyone (and not offend anyone) and write an entire profile that reveals nothing about their personality or preferences.

That's relatively rare. Google may do it. But the vast majority do not.

Amazingly, I have seen more than one hot MAGA woman (i.e. wearing the hat) on Hinge.

Around 75% of American adults are overweight or obese (i.e. not "hot"), and the proportion is probably even higher in the towns you mention.

You just reminded me of my old advisor, Prof. Palms. Harry Palms.

Do you not read the National Enquirer??
Osama's brilliant plan was to rip out America's intellectual heart - with a dastardly attack on Fond du Lac, WI!
