I live in Ohio and am currently looking for work.

I’m still paying to places that say drug testing, but not places that specify thc testing.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s a legal state, and unless they have similar testing and employment rules for alcohol (which they wouldn’t be able to since it doesn’t show up two weeks later) then I should be able to smoke when I want, off the clock.

If they test and it prevents me from getting the job, I feel slightly satisfied I wasted their time and money. If they follow up and ask about it, I will tell them straight up it’s legal in this state and they’re only limiting their options by refusing to hire people who do a legal thing.

It’s probably just wasting my own time, but hey I’ve got time to waste.

It’s a taco with beans!

Here’s the thing…

No, surely they must mean set on fire.

“FTC personnel want bribes and to give the government time to kill the rule so they don’t have to do anything difficult right now”

New headline.

Honestly there’s no legitimate reason to delay this unless you’re stalling for something.

Gotta justify their abuse somehow

People around me put cones, trash cans, and even sawhorses to prevent people from doing this.

I’ll be honest, I have gone two extra driveway spaces to put my tires on someone’s driveway that did this when I needed to turn around. Just out of spite.

I get not wanting random strangers pulling in all the time, I used to get that all the time due to a U shaped driveway that Google used to direct people was a turn around spot for a missed turn. But it’s not a big deal, and unless I was asleep and my dogs woke me up I wouldn’t care.

Now, parking on a random driveway while figuring out where you are is weird to me. And also fuck all the cops who used to use my driveway to try and catch people speeding. You were visible from both sides of the road long before your radar can give you a reading. You did nothing but leech tax money.

I have strong opinions on driveways depending on who you are and why you need it but mostly it’s “you do you booboo”

Cavemen? Maybe 20,000 years ago.

10,000 years ago we were planting crops and forming cities. They weren’t built to last the ages like Rome, but dirt cities are still cities.

Besides, Ubumfejn-Hooga-booga is the FALSE GOD. The REAL God is Ubumfejn-Booga-Hooga. But nobody has worshipped her since 12,527 B.C.E. after a high-priest got drunk on fermented fruit and accidentally swapped the name while reciting The Old Ways, and who’s gonna correct the high-Priest?

… Do you smell toast?

11 minutes vs 3 is a long time.

I’m a simple man.

I see GROND

I upvote/compliment.

GROND

inb4 a bunch of junkies redditors justify their addiction continuing usage because [reason]

Is it considered normal to type out a normal question format when using search engines?

If I were looking for an answer instead of making a funny meme, I’d search “heat movie cast Angelina Jolie” if I didn’t feel like putting any effort in.

Then again, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve seen someone use their phone to search google “what is 87÷167?” instead of doing “87/167” or like… Opening the calculator…

People do things in different, sometimes weird ways.

At first I thought “wow, really? Only 8 seconds?”

Count out 8 full seconds in your head.

Now imagine you’re being hit by young teenagers with baseball bats.

8 seconds is a LONG time

Oh damn, that gave me flashbacks of trying to get my page to look the way I wanted it while knowing almost nothing about any type of coding…

You’re thinking of Lance Armstrong

He was a tall, bald black man who was a great actor and starred in movies like John Wick, and also did voice overs for tons of games, including Destiny.

This is such a weird comment, full of “NiCd batteries aren’t good enough so solar/wind are useless because we can’t store the power” energy.

It’s a test reactor, it’s meant to be smaller than the “big boys”, and in a few years it’ll be smaller and more efficient.

Sure, it’s not going to singlehandedly power an entire country, but distributed power is better than localized. 1000 small reactors placed all over means less likelihood of system wide failure than a handful of large ones.

It was.

In Ohio? I’m almost positive it isn’t legal. It’s definitely illegal in states like California. But they’re banking on nobody recording their interview audio (which I will now be doing as Ohio is single-party state) and nobody complaining if asked.

I doubt it’s a company policy, but I did send an email to their company offices to complain about it, for all the good it will do.

Not programming, but in the same vein, A Trek Bicycle store manager asked me in an interview if I would be willing to work a trial shift the next day building bicycles. Unpaid, of course. Just to see if I was a good fit.

Of course, since I was used to building 50 a day, I would have gotten all of them done in a single shift whereas they were needing to call in stores from surrounding areas to come help in a few days.

I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.

Oddly, I did not get the job
