Stop buying it and anything that tastes like it. Don't replace it with something that tastes similar because that's only going to keep the cravings going.

Take it one day at a time. Wake up and tell yourself "today I won't eat anything sweet" and focus solely on making it through that one day.

Then wake up the next day and do it again.

When you fall off the wagon, apologize to yourself, accept you did it, and continue to avoid it. One mistake won't break anything, but saying "well I already ate a cupcake so I might as well eat five more" is absolutely what will break you down.

More dad jokes? No thanks. I've got plenty.

Meanwhile my company HR tells me we can't fire someone who hasn't shown up to work in three months because we "haven't held others to that same expectation."

You're going to need to provide some context.

Tell me you're a Catholic Priest without telling me you're a Catholic Priest.

Serial killer as a term requires cooling off periods between kills, so no, mass shooters are not serial killers.

I tell everyone the same thing.

Having a kid isn't awful or amazing. It has higher highs and lower lows.

But once they're grown, you'll forget the lows, and be left with the highs.

But holy shit when you're in it....

Just fucking wait until they're three.

Just.

Fucking.

WAIT.

Yes. Objectivity is your friend. Friendship is your enemy.

Your job is to make their job easier. And I don't mean letting them get away with things, I mean your sole purpose is to provide them everything they need to do their job as best as possible.

Remember that every single day

Sure, when you're researching cyanide.

... why do you know what cyanide smells like?

Well apple seeds have cyanide so I can't suggest eating those.

Not if you eat it from the top down or bottom up and eat the core as you do it.

Seriously. Try it. Eat an entire apple for the first time in your life and wonder how you've been wasting 1/3 of your apples.

It should still be listed here though, just not a big circle. I don't see it anywhere.

If this has the 200 largest airports, where is ATL (Hartsfield-Jackson)? That's the world's largest and I don't see it here.

Instead of tricking yourself into enjoying everything, learn to value work that isn't enjoyable.

You don't enjoy doing dishes, but you can understand the value of doing them and know the work required is worth the payoff.

Ask for clarification but it sounds like they're asking if you'd rather get bonus PTO or get the Thanksgiving pay.

This is the correct answer.

All you have to do is hold down the lock button to release it. And now there's a second kid outside who should be screaming at you to save their brother/sister, rather than a single kid trapped inside that you can't hear.

I think not draining it makes it the recipe for easiest guacamole soup?

Drain pico de Gallo and mix. Don't just put in salsa.

Pretty solid feature when you have children who think it would be funny to "take a bath" in a washing machine while it's running.

I'm not sure what your options are in India as far as being a Physicians Assistant? If you're not familiar, they're basically a doctor, but not quite. Takes much less school, much less money up front, and ultimately doesn't change your salary by much.

The only real drawback I'm aware of is you can't go into private practice as a Doctor, which is really where the money is for MDs.

It takes several years to study medicine to become an intern, another year for resident, another year for full blown doctor, and who knows how many more before you pay back your loans.

It takes 6 months to be a skilled programmer/dev, and in 2 years of hard work you can be really knowledgeable. You'll make more money than any non-private practice doctor, you won't have loans, and you'll be starting your career five-ish years earlier.

If you want to be a doctor, by all means, do it. But you said you want to make money quickly. That will make you a poor doctor, and you have a very long road ahead before you make any significant salary. Like 6-7 years before 6 figures at LEAST.
