Well, 25-30. But the older ladies at the dispatch smoked weed as well. Well few of them did. One liked opiates. Most drank.

I don’t work there anymore, but it’s somewhat complicated logistics. You arrange school rides for kids and patient rides to hospitals and have to make sure people aren’t late for their planes and trains leaving in the morning.

It’s just that for the first several hours, it’d be every calm during the night. Sometime around 4am people start leaving for trains, buses, planes. Then around 5-6 you have people going to hospitals. Sometimes they’re disabled and need a taxi that can fit a stretcher. Then it’s the kids after that.

But like some people like caffeine aa they feel they need more energy to perk up. It’s the other way around for me.

But yeah thanks though it was fun. I was kinda pissed during corona when they finally took remote work as my home workstation is far superior to what they were when I worked there, and I kept actually using a team viewer connection back then as well (~2012) so could’ve easily done the work from my home.

And yes you’d might wonder what sort of company allows an employee to install remote control software on their computers?

A small company with a large turnover which never understood their dispatch center or technology properly.

But like if you made a poll on some programming community here on how many of them work while high…?

I know softwares see developers in rather esteemed positions who smoke every day. Not all day necessarily but

I’ve been high in most jobs I had, every now and then at least.

Not when driving a taxi, but we used to get insanely high for the night shifts at the taxi dispatch call centre where I also worked with the younger coworkers (<35) I had. As long as you get the necessary shit done, why’d anyone care? The night shifts were boring as fuck, you’d have like a few to a few dozen calls an hour. Meaning that mostly you’re just having to browse the web while waiting.

And Finns genuinely couldn’t even tell when I’m high as balls, the willfull ignorance in Finnish social interaction is quite strong.

The stoner dudes high as balls 247 who don’t give a shit and are not stressed a bit: :DDD

Well I mean, age is a disadvantage to most things except life wisdom, and there’s not really many sports centered on that. But if we make the definition “games”, then there is. Chess, for one? Until you start losing your memory in the old age, one would think experience just improves chess play. Hard to really call it a sport though. I think something like archery or shooting in general might not be too bad. You’re pretty stationary, it’s not about reaction times (unless you’re doing skeet or something) and it’s mostly about technique. Like that Turkish Olympic winner? He could’ve been 50, easily.

But what is always definitely a disadvantage is inexperience, I would say. Which is what youth basically is.

I wouldn’t disagree with it being like art, but also, you can objectively measure quite a lot of sports, I think. In some sports/roles age isn’t as much of a disadvantage I think, but probably in quite a few sports it is.

Middle-aged professional athletes, perhaps?

can either be allowing it or simply not disallowing it

Exactly.

When I go take a shit, did you allow it, or not disallow it? Neither, because you have no agency over me, so it’d be a stupid fucking sentence.

I’m not saying he thinks he owns his daughters like some 16th century inbred minor noble.

But connotations and implications can exist even when they weren’t particularly intentional by the writer (or speaker.)

“I let them”

Dudes showing internally he thinks he controls their votes. That he could’ve not let them had he chosen so.

So his daughters should be thankful for such a benevolent patriarch. /S

Resentment in others.

Oh definitely, I agree. I would never advocate for Ukraine stopping.

Just. Fucking crazy world leaders.

I agree.

It can’t just be them yelling “we got nukes” and getting what they want.

But they do have then, and they’re insane, and that worries me a bit.

Now let’s hope Putin isn’t desperate enough to go nuclear. Tactical or MAD, either or.

Buy a sickeningly expensive Dyson Detect vacuum.

Costs like 600-1000 depending on what sort of model you get.

But I’ve used one, my brother has a cat now and a Dyson. And it really does work well.

But probably a bit expensive. I fucking want one. I’ve never wanted a vacuum so bad.

I’m not a runner but this type just popped into my mind, with this sort of half cover, so you can have an mitten on your hand when running but take it off to use a phone blow a nose or whatever, without taking the gloves off.

Mittens good because they’re pretty airy and don’t get as clammy as full finger gloves.

I’m sure this model is also found in more sporting materials

“half cover gloves” or smth for search terms idk

Yeah that’s why I said “looked like”.

I just wanted to be prepared.

You gonna start building these motherfuckers in your garage, lol? edit I mean, it would be interesting. But…

I mean, I was joking in the beginning of the thread, but then it looked like you had translated the thing personally when you answered to the person asking “can someone translate the stickers”.

But yeah, I am actually concerned that some people who support Ukraine will share some videos like this that there is no need to share, as it will only give Russia intel. While we might be curious about Ukraine, Russia definitely is, and we don’t really need to sate our curiosity with this if it helps Ukraine, imo.

So the city that installed those plastic barriers.

Which city was that again? An American one?

You’re an American, posting about Russian car culture and how people behave there?

Weird. Why’d you choose to move to Russia, as an American?
