I’m rewatching Breaking Bad. If you haven’t seen it, it’s about these two guys who make and sell meth, one of whom is a high school chemistry teacher, and the other was his student.

Seeing them cooking meth really makes me wonder what about it people find appealing. The ingredients…? Battery acid? Lighter fluid? Paint thinner? Just to name a few.

Whose idea was it to mix these? And how does it sound “appealing” to use?

I live in Georgia. Georgia State Patrol troopers don’t wear bodycams. They only have cameras mounted on their dashboard. But they’re also some of the most aggressive and readily violent departments in the U.S..

Google says, “The Georgia State Patrol (GSP) does not issue body-worn cameras to most troopers because leadership maintains that cruiser-mounted dash cameras are sufficient. The agency argues that most traffic stops and public interactions happen directly in front of patrol cars, making dash systems adequate.” And “Outfit, maintenance, and video data storage costs for statewide body camera programs create substantial budget hurdles, and state lawmakers have repeatedly failed to pass legislation mandating state-funded body cameras.”

This is bullshit. You’re telling me GSP drives Chargers, Challengers, Durangos, and Mustangs…some of the most expensive and souped-up American muscle cars, but the cost to store bodycam video is too high???

It’s a stupid question, so please don’t make fun of me. I’m trying to be more open and approachable.

I posted this here a while ago. Long story short, I was walking out of the grocery store and I noticed an attractive man staring at me as he was walking in.

I looked at him twice and he didn’t break eye contact either time. He was very good looking. I didn’t say anything to him, and I’m kind of kicking myself for it, but I’m too socially-awkward to make the first move.

What kind of signals should I give off if I catch an attractive man looking my way? How do I not be socially awkward about flirting with a man?

I graduated from fashion school recently, and I’m currently looking for a job working at a wholesale showroom. I’m sending out multiple applications per day, but no one is responding. I’m sick and tired of working part-time with no guidance on where or how to start.

I have a strong visual aesthetic, and I know what fabrics I like working with. I already have a brand name and social media accounts. But I don’t know where to start. I’m not great at marketing/advertising.

I originally wanted to go into wholesale, but now I’m thinking I may want to open a Shop, Shopify, or Etsy account and sell my designs out of my house. I don’t like driving far, and anything to minimize a commute while still selling product is ideal.

I need a mentor. Where do I begin?
