This is literally the career I want, the field i like, so there is a benefit to the job being i am very passionate about what I'm doing, if that makes sense.

To get 20% from me you don’t even have to be very good. Insert my night. Told to sit wherever but with my 13 month old I need a high chair. None in the house. Okay fine. No where to sit that isn’t a high top either. Well shit okay. I’ll let him sit in the booster chair and hold my arm around him. Only table available is in the back of the house in their arcade room. Sigh… okay fine. Also the lights are off in the room so just the glow of the arcade games and the lights from the main dining room and my babies tablet is illuminating the room. It’s decently lit though. So…

Will this sub ever stop the fake outrage posts?

Just destroys any validity imo when you have posts that get 20k+ upvotes that are obviously faked letters/texts. And how do so so so many people fall for them?
