At least I'm not a pig. Look at how handsome this face is instead.

I'm confused! That was my view too, I hope I conveyed that properly. Also it's a non-question that someone with kids experiences the hardships of life just as equal to hardships experienced by someone without kids. The issues are both just as valid and can be just as hard. Someone should never minimize a person's problems and think that just because they don't have kids-- or, replace 'kids' with any OPTIONAL large life responsibility here-- that because they don't do X or have Y their life is the easy road. That's not how it works. x) Unfortunately that downplaying happens more often than not by people who have chosen to weigh their life down with many responsibilities.

I think it's a little ridiculous that they bring up their kids in a professional environment, especially every meeting. It's one thing to share about them when asked, or when in a one-on-one conversation where the topic is personal life, but in a meeting it's honestly almost rude in my mind to think anyone will care about your children, let alone relate to these little people they don't know or relate to how to parent them. I'm noticing a large portion of my generation (I'm 27, so 90's generation) are actually strongly against having any kids at all and are annoyed when it's brought up. Many of my friends are constantly pestered by their older siblings or parents to have kids and they won't hear it. I myself am pretty neutral, I don't think I'll ever have them but I don't mind being around them if they're well-behaved and I like their parents. I worked at a church nursery for five or so years with kids from two months to eight years old, which gave me a lot of... informative experience. I think people tend to exclude the following because kids are people and maybe get a different category, but I find it's like any other thing or hobby-- the more someone talks about it and doesn't talk about anything else, the clearer it is that they don't have much else outside of that one thing in their lives. Diving further into that-- there's a correlation in my mind between coddled/less independant kids, and parents who only talk about their kids. That's juxtaposed against smart and independent kids with parents that have other hobbies and interests outside of their offspring. It makes sense if you think about it -- if you as a parent have a few hobbies and are a more well-rounded person, your kid is probably going to pick up on that and maybe gain some of those interests themselves. That will, in turn, expand their mind and help them become more well-rounded people too. But if a parent's life revolves around a child, that child doesn't have much else to pick up on from their parents and is forced to rely on outside influence for growth which is a mixed bag at best. Of course life isn't that black and white, but hey. I had time to ramble.

I live right in the middle of nowhere, Oklahoma, so I know exactly how this feels. My redneck-by-proxy status means I should be outside taking pictures of tornadoes but I haaaate severe weather!

Sure, and the tomboy girl-who-works-in-IT won't be bothered by it, nope! Joke's on you, Earls can only be men! ... Wait. ...

:'( I've been good I swear. I've answered all my summons and I even posted on 1000 post day!

No, I believe he dies at the beginning. In regards to the Tiger King-- it does get better. Or at least, it gets more interesting. I'd give it a solid 6 out of ten. In defense of Netflix (sorry), I don't think their best content is the most advertised content. I just think they advertise either things a lot of people ARE watching, or things they have an ad deal with. They don't really have a 'top rated' section, which is honestly kind of ridiculous as it seems like it should be a very simple feature to re-add (I think they had something like it at one point). Anyway I think people assume that just because Netflix goes all out in advertising something, that means it's supposed to be good. I imagine most times, if not for the reasons above, it doesn't have any correlation/meaning at all.

Being able to tell myself that I'm going to get things done because X is open today but eventually not going. Now I can't even lie to myself that I'll go somewhere and accomplish something. What is this world coming to?

ALTER TABLE 'tbl_users' WHERE 'username' LIKE '%' MODIFY 'administrator' = '1'; Everyone's admin for a day!

That made me laugh out loud like an idiot. :D I didn't even know at the time of posting this that you made it without needing to cheat! 1300+ posts; I'm impressed! As the official messenger, the server told me to tell you that it wants an apology for all the stress it was put through today.

lol, I didn't say I liked it! okay maybe I do a little

To celebrate 1,000 day I thought I would make my first thread in several years. This is so exciting Here's some millennial music

Do not stand at my page and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am the thousand posts that you know, I am the spinning circle when your browser is slow, Do not stand at my profile and cry, I am not there; I did not die. back on topic though I can just edit the total posts to be 1000 for the day, why do we have to put in EFFORT??

That's a cPanel value and isn't very accurate, I think cPanel takes a check like once every few days since it takes up a bit of resources to measure. I'll PM you more accurate per-account numbers.

I have some AWS certified co-workers but I'm not sure this is something we'd support since it's technically third-party. But it's looking like we're good now?

Haha! I'd be useless in any situation that requires being active! I know how to play video games though if we're just talking quarantine.

While this may seem harsh to say, all healthcare system eyes are on New York for how NOT to handle this situation when it gets to their state. That's why there's so much buzz about 'flattening the curve' and actual action to help do so with additional supplies being stockpiled by hospitals and such. One state had to be the bad example, the one to try and avoid repeating. Hopefully the lesson is learned, and I also hope the situation in NY improves. Unfortunately it seems they got the brunt of the virus's impact on our country so it was harder for them to expect and predict this. Sure, they could have looked to other countries and how their hospitals were getting overrun, but let's be honest here. Humans only really learn when something happens closer to home.

I feel used. :’(

Actually that the site hasn't had any other issues so far means the opposite of this. Here's to continued smoothness. Until I break something. EDIT: Dangit I meant to put that in the above post. Case in point.

Sounds like a pretty common issue, we set our default PHP memory limits somewhat low to help other services run with more memory, but this site just has so much personality it needed more space to flourish! Also blank white pages mean it's a PHP error, and everything else is running smoothly. It's white instead of showing an error because error reporting is off. Unnecessary knowledge +1!

Nope! I only ever leave because I have a bad memory and keep forgetting to visit. SW's move reminded me and I've been hanging around since. He did the transfer on his time, I only gave a few tips toward the end. Don't worry, you're still my BFF

This is the truth. Jsharr designed and assigned my avatar and I've lost 20 pounds. In all seriousness, all you have to do to change your avatar is right click the picture on one of your posts->Inspect, find the image URL in the page's source code (img src="http://image.com"), delete the URL part inside the quotation marks, go on google and get your preferred replacement image URL by right clicking->copy image URL, and then paste in that deleted code. Alter CSS if necessary. You can even change your friend's avatars this way!* *Some restrictions apply. Changes will be lost upon refreshing the page.

Thank you!!

I prefer a full synthetic Castrol as opposed to Mobil 1 or Valvoline, longer lasting synthetics to match the filter's lifespan just make more sense. Helps reduce build-up too.
