As the cousin of a NY public librarian, fuck mayor Adams, but for so many more reasons than this.

Stop voting cops in as mayor’s, because at the end of the day they’re still just corrupt cops.

Japan and South Korea need to get to fucking or they need to become more open and attractive to immigration to stave off population shortfalls. There’s shitloads of south and central Americans looking for stable nations to call home, same with Africans, Middle Easterners, and south Asians, these folks are willing to serve in their militaries, contribute to their economies, and they bring fresh blood and ideas to cultures and industries. There’s also a whole lot of other westerners who are super into Asia in general but especially Japan and would move there in a heartbeat for the right incentives.

Cartel town maybe? There’s probably some pretty surprising levels of corruption going on there.

So the town basically hired a gang of thugs to be their police while they extort travelers in their jurisdiction, sounds like a 70’s or later action movie/show like Dukes of Hazzard, Billy Jack, or Rambo.

Hopefully the main character shows up and kicks all of their asses and we all get a happy ending. (Meanwhile in reality they will just keep getting away with it because of the way Texas is ran and qualified immunity)

The town is probably a ticket trap or they make way too much money off of civil asset forfeiture, it all sounds shady AF.

No it was definitely real, but Danny Devito’s portrayal of the event was freaking hilarious, watching Frank lose his mind in pain from a vibrating butt plug was not something I ever expected, that whole scene had me hysterical laughing.

Gou said, adding “the era of entrepreneur’s rule” has begun.

Well that doesn’t sound dystopian at all /s

That’s all we need rn is another “gilded age” while capitalism continues to run amok.

Ramaswamy is starting to give him a run for his money now though.

Oh this is the “lawyer of the stars” guy Trump had previously retained:

Oh definitely, timezones do throw a wrench in things a bit, but there are easy ways around that usually, splitting engineering teams like the way you described is a pretty good workaround.

I completely agree that jobs that just can’t be done remotely obviously shouldn’t be, but any job that can be should have the option available. I just feel like most of the work from home backlash comes from people who cannot do their jobs from home and managers/executives that just want someone to babysit, usually in order to justify their own professional existence. It just seems like a lot of “crabs in a bucket” behavior.

Okay so what are you getting from either of those that you can’t get from attending the same on Teams/Zoom etc.?

Workshops also just feel like school and the presenters always talk too fast, quiet, or accented for my hearing and ADHD to make it worth me going to one, some dedicated study time always was the better route for me.

Meanwhile strategy sesh’s are just conversations with an end goal, nothing difficult about that at all.

One thing people who are against work from home have to realize is that not everybody functions the same, some people do better remotely, others need the office.

I just wish we could be treated like adults and work in the way we feel most comfortable and efficiently without being mistreated over it and without being astroturfed against it by entities like the Wall St. journal and Bloomberg, sorry rich people but I just don’t give a fuck about your corporate property values.

Why tf do out of touch executives and managers always think that we want to make friends at work? I don’t really care to know any of my coworkers, I just want to do my job in a professional manner, get paid well for it, and then either go home or close the laptop and leave my home office.

Also the only creativity that the office gives me is how to creatively get around the Internet restrictions they place on us, or how to creatively appear to be working when there’s nothing to do.

If I wanted to make friends I’d go to a bar or something else that adults do together in groups, like bowling leagues.

The Shah was an oppressive authoritarian. That’s one of the reasons why Iran is pissed at us.

O rly now? Hmm such a difference from now, lol.

But fr I meant Mohammad Mosaddeq, not that shah, just forgot about which one we overthrew.

conservatism

Consevationism, there’s so many other aspects of conservativism than conservationism, the capitalists/right wingers aren’t going to hurt themselves by outlawing all of conservativism.

Conservativism also touches on race, religion, economics, and others that are unique or spawned by the main tenets of conservativism.

Thx for the fair words, but yeah geopolitics is a dirty game, as far as I’m concerned democracy and freedom of speech are worth fighting or dying for.

We should have just helped the Shah stamp out the Islamic revolution instead and stuck with Iran as a regional Allie.

And now after saying that I have a dirty Henry Kissinger feeling.

Hmm who could have seen that kissing a regressive monarchy’s ass for far too long would bite us in the ass?

Anybody who realized how involved the Saudi Royal family and their intelligence agency was with 9/11 and anyone who understood how the Saudi’s were spreading the extremist breeding Wahhabism and funding the building Wahhabist schools.

The Saudis were always pieces of shit and horrible allies for the West.

Probably a bunch at the various Sea World parks, but there’s plenty of other aquariums globally.

I f’n loved it, Anthony Mackie was a fantastic lead, and Will Arnet and Samoa Joe were funny AF as Sweet Tooth, can’t wait for next season, when things really start happening.

End orca captivity immediately.
