Back in the day, I used to just look up the different indie film festivals, see what was nominated/won, go watch the trailer, and pirate the ones I was interested in.
wild, I come from addicts. Like, youre right, Im not addicted to alcohol or drugs. But that is because Ive watched my entire bloodline struggle with addiction.
I have sat side seat to an alcoholic triggered from wine at thanksgiving dinner who tried to buy alcohol after we left, and couldnt. Kept him sober that day.
Harm reduction. Full of fire in this comment, I dont like religous nut jobs either.
I can tell you horror stories about alcohol. Ive seen my step family, a group of 40something year old siblings, throw a man going to prision for so many dui's they threw him a kegger before he left. I come from straight up white trash. My bio father just passed away last feburary from drinking himself dead, like
My step father would get so drunk he'd just beat us for no reason.
Drunks still gonna drink, yes, but christ to say it again, its harm reduction. Because if they run out on the sad holiday, they cannot get more that day. Theyre not DRIVING to get more either. Most severe alcoholics are suicidal, and will try to kill themselves with the bottle around holidays.
note, CT is a little different than KY or such. These laws are old, and like the sunday thing, are more from the package store lobbiests than the relgious people.
I dont think it's a bad thing. A lot of people suffer around the holidays, and drunks will get drunk. If they can't do a packie run on the holiday, It can reduce overdoses. Harm reduction if you will.
My state is the only state in New England I believe, who doesnt sell alcohol in gas stations, or on sundays. You also cant get wine in the grocery stores. I remember the first time I went to a Maine walmart, and I was blown away therevwas wine on the shelf. Walmart wine, tf lol. So Im used to the rules, but I do believe the holiday rule actually to be beneficial. The rest are wierd, and if you live close enough go a border state, people who want booze (on a sunday) just cross state lines for it. But sad drunk darrel cant go grab another bottle on the saddest day of the year for him, because it's closed.
On one hand I dont like these list, because even if everyone was doing their best, someone will always be at the bottom.
On the other hand, I mean, what did you expect. These list have always been a thing, and these places are always at the bottom by a far margin, why bitch now?
Setting aside that historically male dominated fields make more money than felmale dominated fields do..
In the states, I have noticed, the wage gap isnt so much woman/man as it is parents/non parents. the default parent is getting called out of work for the sick child, for said childs dr appointments, for said childs half days and vacations. The default parent is usually, still today, a woman. So while the starting wage for a guy and a lady may be the same, overtime, a mother (or yes some fathers) with a child she is the default for, is going to miss work time, she may be passed up for promotion or other projects, a manager may overlook her because she has parental responsiblities. That last part, men in the same role will often be promoted if he has a family, and its the opposite for mothers.
Also
girls got bigger raises simply for being attractive girls
imagine not being a conventional attractive woman. There are tons of capable, confident young women who old pervy managers just dont find hot. There is a coffee shop near me, known to only hire "attractive" young women. I didnt even bother to apply knowing this, when I have hella exp. working in coffee shops. I got fired from planet fitness, the only job ive ever been fired from, excuse me, "let go", and it was because of how I looked. (mind you I was fit, but I have boxy shoulders, had short hair, and didnt fit this dudes republican barbie aethstetic.)
Police in Thailand were reportedly called to the rental property where Murphy had been staying after receiving complaints about a man screaming inside. Officers allegedly found him in an “agitated” state.
uhh you think? Agitated state, fuckin bet. What the hell that must of that felt like?? The agony, like how the hell would thd body even respond? would your blood congeal? the fuck, this some shit out of a horror film.
last saturday, I heard a thunderstorm rolling in just at sunset. A sat on the floor of my porch to see the sky, and I swear (maybe it was the pot), I had a spiritual moment. From the neighborhood, you could hear the local population setting off the small fireworks, further in the distance you could hear the larger fireworks going off, and then here comes mother nature with hers. The thunder started before the rain, it was purple! Purple lightning! I had never seen it before! I tried to get a photo, but failed, so I just sat and watched until the purple changed to blue, and the rains got heavy. Just, beautiful.
Used to make cable filler for a living. A lot of what I made ened up in lines for google and under the ocean. It's a dirty business. We're gonna kill the planet for all this.
