Insurance rates in Florida are already beyond what most people can afford. They've risen like 10x over the last decade. Most insurance companies aren't even doing business in the state anymore.

Middle of the state is probably fine, but anything within about 15 miles of the coast should be avoided. Also anywhere within a mile of a major river or lake.

You can have my Brother laser printer when you pry it from my cold dead hands, and because it's not an HP, I'm sure it will still work when you do.

Gotcha so you're abstaining this election. That's fine and your choice not to vote, but it also means you don't get to complain if Trump wins (or Harris for that matter).

As long as we have first past the post, we will never have a 3rd party candidate win.

And you'll be dead in the same amount of time.

If you honestly believe Harris would do as much damage to this country as Trump would, you're either one of the dumbest people I've ever met and there's nothing more to say, or you just woke up from a coma that started in 2016 and haven't caught up on anything that happened since then.

Our voting system is first past the post which means there are only two political parties, Republican or Democrat. If you happen to like the Republican or Democrat congratulations you get to actually vote for someone. For the rest of us our only option is voting against someone. If you hate the Republican more vote Democrat. If you hate the Democrat more vote Republican. If you don't actually care whether the Democrat or Republican wins you can abstain by either staying home or voting 3rd party, the outcome is identical either way.

If you don't like this there is exactly one solution and that's supporting efforts to get rid of first past the post voting, anything else is useless.

If the Dems will not and cannot save us, if we have a gaping bullet wound and all they can offer is a wet band-aid, then we must find another solution.

I'll take the wet bandaid over the guy reloading to finish the job thank you very much.

Yeah, never use a work device for anything you're not actually getting paid to do. To do otherwise is just stupid. Save non-work stuff for your own devices.

Sounds like all the meetings should just be done by video and nothing would be lost.

Yeah it's 50/50 because the executives really don't like it, but the actual data supports remote work being far more efficient. They're working really hard to cook the books to make it look like the opposite to appease the execs but they can only do so much. Give them a few more years to cherry-pick data and bury inconvenient results and they'll be back to the same bullshit that justified productivity destroying (but cheap) choices like hot desking and open plan offices.

Quality programmers are a finite resource. Amazon chewed through the entire unskilled labor market with their warehouses and then struggled to find employees to meet their labor needs. If they try the same stunt with skilled labor they're in for a very rude awakening. They'll be able to find people, but only for well above market rates. They're highly likely to find in the long run it would have been much cheaper to hang onto the people they already had.

I've said it before I'll say it again, churches shouldn't automatically be tax exempt, if they want tax exempt status they should have to register as a 501c3 or similar like any other organization and follow the same rules. Automatically qualifying for tax exempt status allows them to get away with so much shit.

Remember huffing? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Skimming through the giant wall of gibberish the crux seems to be about feeling depressed after a series of one night stands that the author apparently thought would be longer term relationships.

I would suggest that if this has become a regular occurrence for the author it suggests there's a problem with their approach to dating. Maybe don't go looking for long term relationships at bars and clubs, or hookup focused "dating" apps.
