Do you have a regular job? How much vacation do you get?
People here get two weeks at first, three after a while. Plus sick
leave, holidays, and a few "personal days."
Nature has wired boys and girls to like one another, mentally and
physically. Usually.
I kind of like that. No, I *really* like that.

There was a law firm in Manhattan (I forgot the name) where everyone
including the mail boy got 2 weeks with expenses paid. They said bring
the receipts and they would pay for the air fare, room service and
massages and all. I don't know if they're still in business but I know
of another law firm that went under just because they had too many
catered meetings.

I don't have to stand outside a bar very long before a college kid
mistakes me for the bouncer and hands me their ID. I tell them they look
great. New England tech "style" isn't Silicon Valley most guys own at
least a few suits and I'd definitely never be caught dead in cargo
shorts or flip-flops I prefer long sleeves and pants.
The women look good here but the guys are all lumbersexuals,
mouse-clickers who dress like lumberjacks. Not even lawyers wear ties.
I might still own a tie, but I haven't seen it in a decade or two.
Damned silly thing to wear.
I doubt any woman I've been on a date with would have guessed I work in
tech before I told them they might have guessed truck driver.
That it!
It doesn't really matter anyway in my experience most "modern women"
don't particularly care what your job is specifically so long as you
seem somewhat confident and enthusiastic about it whatever it is.

True enough, but unfortunately we're going through a phase at present
where some reproductive preferences have been fostered and encouraged to
such an extent that they have become grotesque and seriously bad for
society.
Very few women today will look at a man unless he is minted, and the more
attractive the woman is, the less in this regard she will settle for.
Men have become more obsessed with winning unrealistically attractive
women with 'assets' that resemble cartoon caricatures and women have
picked up on this and feel intense pressure to measure up in this regard.
Both men and women cheat in order to win the mate they aspire to. Men
endeavour to present as financially secure and may go into crippling debt
in order to keep up the illusion of affluence; women likewise 'tell
lies' by spending fortunes on plastic surgery and starving themselves
into long-term mental and physical health problems. Never in the history
of the human race have things been so far out of whack and the day of
realisation and revision of values cannot be too far off in time from now
I would guess.
Human history tends to go in cycles and these have an unfortunate
tendency of having to go into extreme territory before people notice the
madness and finally determine to reverse course.

the idea that FDR was a "lefty" in the modern sense of the word doesn't
make much sense anyway; it was over 70 years ago. and he's been
criticized in approximately equal measure by both the left and right since.
He was a Democrat but the Democratic Party of 1932 was not the modern
Democratic Party, as everyone well-knows except out of Reddit forums for
US conservatives where mentioning the Southern Strategy will get you
banned like it's some kind of conspiracy theory and not a matter of
historical fact.
I understand that in the US "leftist" has come to mean most people who
tend to think Ayn Rand was a fucking loonie-tune who died alone of lung
cancer because she thought government-sponsored anti-smoking PSAs were
Communist propaganda.

He's doing no such thing. The mainstream media is misrepresenting the situation there. Turkey is going after hardcore Kurd terrorists who have been fomenting all kinds of chaos within its borders, ambushing military convoys, assassinating police and local authorities, inciting ethnic Kurds, who comprise 20% of Turkish population, to revolt, and a bunch of other stuff.
That's the Turkish story. They don't fancy the prospect of losing the Kurdish area of Turkey to a Kurdish state which would also extend into Syria and Irak.
Quite a few countries and organisations don't classify the PKK as a terrorists organisation, and implicitly regard what Turkey call "terrorism" as self-defense against Turkish perscecution.
Then they escape across the border into Syria to hide out from retaliation.
Or persecution.
Turkey has been backing elements of the Syrian Defense Force too, who have been collecting intelligence on the Kurds in Syria, and Turkey now knows exactly who and where its targets are. Not all countries are going to waste billions of bucks taking people into custody, housing them and bringing them to trial, like this country does. In that part of the world they just liquidate them the old fashioned way. Turkey has been in existence for a very long time and they know that part of the world way better than any dumb American, they know what it takes to get things done there.
They know some very old-fashioned way of getting things done there.
If Erdogan started having his political rivals strangled, that would revive another tradition.
The Ottoman Empire dominated a lot of non-Ottoman states. A lot of the problems in the Middle East reflect an enthusiasm for ignoring ethnic divisions. That didn't work well in former Yugoslavia, and isn't working well in Turkey, Syria and Irak.
If the Turks have not cut off their escape routes, the Kurds can flee to Iraq or Iran. Kurdistan cuts a big swath of territory through all those countries.
That is the problem. The Turkish final solution isn't likely to work.
Turkey is not worried about bullshit Russia either. They have been fighting Russia for over 500 years.
Since before Russia had nuclear weapons ...
Turkey has the latest American airpower and AAW defenses, meaning they will annihilate the Russian military in the region.
After all, that's how the US won in Vietnam.
"For different reasons, the PKK has been designated as "terrorist" organization by Turkey,[17] the United States, 28 European countries, and Japan"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers%27_Party
Call it what they may, the PKK was instigated by the U.S.S.R. to destabilize their archenemy, Turkey.
and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish%E2%80%93Turkish_conflict_(2015%E2%80%93present)
" At the same time, some of its members started to get training by the members of the Palestine Liberation Organization who themselves were trained by Soviet personnel in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley in Syrian-controlled camps. According to the U. S. government reports, the PKK received significant support by Syria, which allowed it to maintain headquarters in Damascus, as well as by Iran, Iraq, and Libya. It later began to launch attacks and bombings against Turkish governmental installations, the military, and various institutions of the state. The organization focused on attacks against Turkish military targets in Turkey, although civilian targets were also hit. The group started to gain publicity after committing political killings and massacres.[37][38][39][40]"
And how much industry is in Kurdistan that they should have a "workers party" anyway? The answer is none.
It could turn out that pulling our few troops out of Syria, and
letting Russia and Turkey have more influence, will be strategically
and historically brilliant. Given how chaotic human affairs are, the
move is just a probability hunch.
