That's both frustrating and evil.

I see where you're coming from, but leaving the content gives a reason for people to go to the site for that information. I wish there were a separate place to put your comments and posts before erasing it from Reddit.

I've heard that editing your comments into random sentences is an effective workaround.

Man this is a tough one. It might be worth just leveling with your dad - a quick "Hey, this situation is weird for me and it's gonna take me some time to come around, but thanks for being super nice." It will voice your feelings while validating his attempts at smoothing things over. If you continue to just be totally aloof without explanation, he'll eventually run out of the energy to be nice.

Ani DiFranco put it well. "God forbid you be an ugly girl, 'course too pretty is also your doom, 'cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room."

Tbf hatchbacks take up the same amount of space but have better cargo capacity. Best of both worlds. I love that I can toss my ebike and lots of camping gear in my tiny Bolt and take it camping. Not possible in a sedan.

A recruiter cold called me. I'm usually pretty rude to cold callers, so I played hardball out of the gate and I managed to get a $30k raise vs my current position.

Join a Buy Nothing group. If someone asks for something that you have, and you haven't used it in a while, give it away! You can always ask for another to keep or borrow if you have a need for it in the future.

You hit the nail on the head. Compliance and legal obligations for security and storage are a constantly moving target, so there's always a lot to adjust alongside the day to day management.

Pork butt roast and sauerkraut. It's a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch recipe meant to bring good luck and fortune to the household on New Years. You simply season a pork butt with salt and pepper and put it in the slow cooker with a large container of saurkraut and cook on low til it shreds. Served with mashed potatoes, peas, and pork gravy. Guaranteed to give you a food coma.

For appetizers, I love beet-pickled eggs. It's essential to pickle them for 24+ hours to ensure the pink fully penetrates the egg white.

There's an outdoor cabinet in my neighborhood that is used as a food bank. I fill it to the brim weekly with shelf-stable food. I was formerly homeless and know what it's like to go hungry, and I work hard to ensure that no one in my neighborhood has to go to bed hungry.

Microsoft 365 Administrator, $130k USD. I only have an Associate's degree but I have over a decade of experience in the field. Most of my day is spent coordinating with cybersecurity, compliance, and lawyers to ensure our data practices are sound. It's a constantly-moving target.

 

I've never taken a vacation, and I'm determined to take on this year in Spring. I'm in Pittsburgh area and would like to bring my dog along (he is too anxious for boarding or a dog sitter), and don't want to put him on an airplane. Any ideas?

The best I've been able to come up with is renting a small island with a cottage on the Great Lakes. My pup could run totally free on the island for a week and live his best life chasing squirrels and swimming. I'm not much of a nature fan, though, so it might be a bit boring.
