“The person of interest was named as Joseph A. Couch, 32, according to Kentucky State Police and the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office. He’s described as white, 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighing 154 pounds.” Police have not yet determined if there is a romantic connection to J.D. Vance

Nobody lies about having worked at McDonald’s

Not an expert but from how I understand it that alone doesn’t qualify him to plead insanity. An insane person will act as if they are unaware of what they are doing is wrong.

The same Bernie Madoff that died in jail?

Food server/bartender jobs come to mind. Not only do you meet a lot of people but they often are repeat customers. People would rather hire someone they are familiar with than a stranger off the street and it helps if they see you have a good work ethic. If you are like me and don’t have a college degree don’t underestimate qualities you may have that will work for you. Just by showing up with a positive attitude and being trustworthy puts you ahead. Every job I’ve had in adulthood came by word of mouth and they have all been small businesses. The job I wouldn’t recommend is a factory job. They often will pay a couple of bucks more and seem ideal if you don’t want to deal with the public but you won’t meet many people besides your coworkers unless you work the dock. I hope this helps, good luck

Find yourself a job where you meet lots of people. This will make it easier to find a better job

It doesn’t matter your age, put up a bird feeder and you’ll soon hate squirrels. You spend $40 on a bag of seed and they’ll scoop out all the stuff that they don’t want to get to the stuff they do want. Seed on the ground attracts animals you don’t want like rodents or Canadian geese that shit all over. I found it easier to pay the squirrels off like the mafia. Buy a bag of corn or cheap peanuts and sprinkle some around to appease the bastards. It sucks but it’s worth it in the long run.

Does your club meet regularly? Once a week, once a month? It’s important to keep it regular. Predictability makes it easier for people to make it a routine. Meet on the same day of the week. Don’t change it to accommodate anyone. People have their own lives, don’t be hurt if they don’t show. Also know that people often will say they are interested but not follow through, that’s normal.

Meetings need to have a framework. I recently joined a club that begins each meeting by having the secretary read the minutes from the last meeting. Then they address old business and new business. The main body of the meeting is usually a guest speaker. After that members have time to check out a book from the library, pay dues, order hats or shirts.

Every organization needs a leader. It’s never going to be 100% self maintaining. That doesn’t mean you have to do all the work but you’ll have to delegate responsibilities to volunteers. Don’t micromanage them. Be grateful and complimentary, nobody’s getting paid I assume. Be willing to accept things even though they didn’t turn out how you envisioned. They’ll be more willing to take projects on when you are supportive.

I hope this helps, good luck

I always thought Lakewood had the coolest layout of any city. Compact housing. Major east-west roads with bus service and lots of cool, small shops. I’d be nervous on a bike though

The band Native Howl just had their gear ripped off while on tour. They also had an AirTag in with the gear but the charge died while they were tracking the thief down

Howdy fellow Buckeye!

Yeah I didn’t work there very long. It was 1984 and unemployment was 10%. Being fresh out of high school I took whatever I could find

The way I remember it (40 years ago) the manager told me joining was required but I could be wrong. It was an awful union. Former employees were suing the union and grocery store chain for how bad they were screwed over

I got a job once that required me to join the union. It was bagging groceries part time for minimum wage at a grocery store. Sorry I don’t mean to be a downer, I see union membership as a good thing. Unions are like democracy. They are only as good as the people they are made of.

The Wisconsin electors haven’t been charged

I wear flannels

Pretty sure the "hold liberals accountable " falls under the “do nothing about fascists” banner

From personal experience I see this as a red flag. If you are close with your family your partner should want to have a relationship with them too. Having them closer should be seen as a good thing.

Lotsa butt hurt stuff there too

I think if I had a near death experience I would remember who I shared it with. The cognitive decline is awful to watch. So sad
