Google “doing a Ratner”. When those in power are honest the mewling masses come unglued.

Alternative ceasefire

That’s my kink.

But think of the freedom from regulations those children felt!

Given the hype and the types of people that push this shit, I can’t imagine any fruitful KPIs being applied. A good KPI should be hard/impossible to game, regularly tracked, and should have understood limits or action triggers (i.e. what result from a KPI is acceptable vs needs improvement).

Had a yearly review where one of my metrics was decreasing NCRs. The numbers showed more than a 25% reduction in NCRs from the previous year when my goal was like 5%. Of course this was over covid and that weren’t accounting for volume of orders which plummeted that year. On paper I did fucking phenomenal.

Sure as fuck ain’t drinking your ovaltine.

No they won’t. He was in once and then gone. But he came back and so much worse. He has demonstrated that not only is there enough appetite among the voting populace for his brand of hate and violence, but that our institutions are woefully incapable of protecting their own country let alone the fucking world. Prior to that I’m sure most of the world would have thought straight up kidnapping a “democratically” elected world leader and a full on unprovoked war (in all but name) would be impossible. But here we are. Anything short of an actual uprising or revolution won’t be sufficient on their own. I’d bet good money we don’t have a chance at seeing a return to the position and soft power we held for at least half a century.

My understanding is that calling someone not in the list is rare but not completely disallowed. You’d need some heavy justification and how the other side doesn’t object with better justification. I didn’t read the pay-walled article but the summary in the post made it seem very lackadaisical how it was handled. That would be very concerning.

Same energy as “No offense but [extremely offensive thing]”

What are you hoping to gain from arguing? I have a Facebook “friend” that I have argued with on many occasions. I will never convince him of anything. In fact, there’s a good chance I’ve pushed him even further into his psychosis entrenching him even further in his echo chamber of bullshit. My goal isn’t to convince him. My goal is to have the counter-point to his asinine crazy readily available. Also, since he owns a local business and fully flaunts his idiocy, others have taken notice and it’s affected his business.

The problem is from a financial perspective, no one gives a shit beyond the next quarter or two. With a big enough company vs a small enough town it’s trivial to grease a few palms at the local level to play ball.

We still got Lunny toons

Now I wanna see some bootleg version of Looney Tunes.

“For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” wasn’t a crime. They wouldn’t start the name of a crime with “for”. You’d have stuff like “for murder”.

… into the sun.

If you went from nothing to 30 minute jogs, likely a little while. What’s your history? Solid couch potato with a potato shaped body or worse? You’re looking at a couple hard months. Formerly fit/fit-ish, maybe some high school sports or something? Maybe an unpleasant month or so. You’d be better off easing into it a little slower. Can you do a brisk walk for 30+ minutes? Jog for 10-15? Build up to a full 30 minute jog. They have things like C25K (Couch to 5K) programs that give you good pacing.

Point of distinction, she would not have been president. Only acting president.

Schumer will get some sweet promises of future cooperation in exchange for a vote now.

I think the over/under is 1 year for someone unironically floating the idea of a tattoo or microchip any “undesirables”.

That’s insane. I’ve got the same password on my luggage!
