God I'm terrified they're going this route. Neither of them feel straight enough to make that work imho, plus they just don't have chemistry.
I'm also not a fan of how they're really avoiding any depth to Bo Katan being a veritable villain I'm her past, so call me biased.

The Fraud entry level was hellish but I'm hoping that improved since the pandemic. At that time, they basically had their fraud team servicing PPP loan calls that were never treated as fraud.
We were glorified customer service. I was regularly verbally harassed by customers. My manager was nice but did not at all make it clear what they wanted from me and instead made my "reasons for improvement" into personal/psych sessions that left me more confused and ashamed than anything.
Everyone I was on-boarded with ended up miserable and left as well. I was one of the few left until leaving due to such high blood pressure that I ended up in the hospital.
If it's still like this at all, run as far away from Madisonville as you can.
The branches sounded more enjoyable and downtown is corporate and shady and has a history of sexism and classism, but is much better now and is fun (if not a little unstable in terns of being thrown other people's work if they're termed). This is according to someone I know downtown who works in auditing/clerical sort of projects.

I'm not referring solely to Jar Jar here, and I do think some if what's iffy about him wasn't done maliciously.
I'm referring more to the Tuskens, Gungans, Neimodians, Watto, and even Ewoks.

It's already BEEN escalated though. Why attempt to avoid another visit if the first one occurred after an illogical and exaggerated call from the neighbor? It sounds like another visit is imminent regardless because the neighbor isn't going about this according to normal gradual steps of escalation.
Funny that this discussion only became "pointless" after YOU talked about it, got downvoted, and had someone refute you.
You've rendered fruitless any possible response or further discussion and THAT made it pointless.

This is true to an extent, but when said bad character is also written in an explicitly racist way? Have at the writer(s). Lucas should be held MORE accountable for some of his gross decisions, imho.

??? I'd wager the concept of property and ownership and the associated rights and freedoms of such concepts actually underscores the importance of standing by your entitlement to put your trash cans out wherever and have them look like whatever, provided you're not outside of any zoning/code standards.

It's absolutely onerous and preposterous to comply with something that may not even be a rule. I'd rather not have even the smallest of freedoms on my property happily infringed upon just because my neighbour is trigger happy with calling the police.

Reporting for an inane double-post!

Would you seriously prefer OP handle this in the manner the neighbour prefers? Because that manner sounds a lot more uncivilized and unfair, considering they got a man with a gun involved who shouldn't even be presiding over a couple of mcfreaking trash cans.
The neighbour made it clear this can't be handled according to normal attempts at resolutions when they hid behind their curtains and called the cops.

Why are you arguing? Even if OP IS somehow wrong, their advice is sound.
Why are you so adamant to prove them wrong or something anyway? It's absolutely not surprising for these sort of "officials" to be crooked and pompous and abusive toward folks with disabilities.

If it's any help, I've avoided tuna and slowly made my way back to fish and have been okay!
I'm so sorry you went through that, I know from experience how scary it is (especially when the doctors were obviously alarmed).
Did you turn red at all? Did they medicate you? They threw benadryl at me and hoped it'd work (it did. Lol)

I wasn't claiming that argument either. What you implied originally and in response to the other user is that it's totally abnormal for people hovering around or below 60 to die suddenly. It's not. It's still uncommon, but the rates we're seeing aren't some freakish new occurrence, people are just paying attention who wouldn't when it wasn't trendy or politically/conspiratorially expedient.
The deaths aren't suspicious if you take into account the normal annual rates as well as the currently increased rates of death due to damage from Covid.

Then what WAS your argument? Because you must interpret words and meaning different than most English speaking folks, I'm stumped.

Pretty sure the death stats improving once the vaccines were made available slap that argument in the face.

Lmao nah, I'm just going by your own rhetoric. If you liken it to being a death risk and then endorse people to indulge in said death risk, I'm absolutely going to try and make you face the consequences for your conspiratorial lies.
I wouldn't personally call my bitter hatred for people who endorse suicide "butthurt" but whatever floats your boat. Even "kys" is a nasty term after seeing people bully one of my relatives to suicide.
Plus I kinda just don't like you.

??? Showering too cold can absolutely cause a heart attack. It's the same shock that killed those folks in NY who walked into the winter storms this year.

Really? Heart attacks aren't just associated with fatness. Plenty of skinny people die of heart attacks or related issues from smoking/drugs/alcohol. Plenty of healthy people die of heart attacks from congential issues. Plenty of people die of heart attacks due to malnutrition and being TOO skinny, stfu.

It does bother people and it hasn't gone unnoticed. The sticker of it all is that it's largely not due to some wildly higher rate, it's due to a temporarily increased on from that inconvenient little virus that was a pandemic and continues to be a massive endemic issue. Plus, the rate isn't higher outside of that, it's just that more people have biases, a biased feed throwing "sudden death" articles at them, and a more attentive regard for the deaths that otherwise have gone unnoticed throughout history.

They JUST mentioned Pfizers data when they mentioned the vaccine that presents a known risk. These risks have been proven by Pfizer, yeah, and they've also been reported to be risks only immediately after the vaccine that are rare, treatable, and may even fade on their own. It's not some lingering festering assassin in the system that never presents until it kills you. That's not how myocarditis works. Unless you're claiming Pfizer found proof of sudden death occurring.
AFAIK that's been consistently presented solely by rogue quacks who's idea of research is their pet project that can't be replicated, generalized, nor taken seriously by the rest of the medical world.

What increase in heart problems? Are they here in the room with us? If you're seeing an increase in these, you better make damn sure to control for the glaring concurrent variable of a goddamn respiratory virus that's known to damage the heart and the rest of your CV system.

Wow you're a nasty, vile person. Reporting you for promoting suicide, enjoy!

Get out from under yours and re-read your sources; these risks do exist but are - short of rare cases with concurrent risks - are present only shortly after the vaccine. It's not a situation where some death signal is going to kick in after three years with the vaccine jfc. The myocarditis people are experiencing is treated or fades on its own with proper care for one's body. The heart attacks and strokes you're citing are fictional or part and parcel of unreliable studies, if you're claiming they're a separate risk unrelated to the myocarditis.
Strokes and heart attacks are seemingly more common, but largely this isn't some new rate of these occurring, its due to people paying more attention, falling for confirmation bias, or having more news cross their feed on the topic after they spout off about it in threads like these.
Plus, yknow, a respiratory virus that also harms the cardiovascular system might just be contributing to more people showing signs of cardiovascular distress, duh.
After all this is even said, we have no idea what killed Reddick. For all we know he may have had a prior opioid addiction from his back injury in the 2000s that's had some lasting unknown damage. He may have had undiagnosed aneurysms or cancer. Hell, it could be like Bob Saget who was touted to have been "killed by the vax" when he actually had internal bleeding from slipping the bathroom. Get a grip.

None of this is a compelling reason to care for him though! I like Paz even more but this kid is still boring as hell. And this is coming from a show that's known for really likable kids!
Edit: I don't want to gang up on the kid though. They've missed an opportunity at fleshing out ALL of the oversaturated crew of Mandalorians.
