I’ve always hated the phrase “bad actors.” It’s a meaningless descriptor.

The two sides do not operate the same, necessarily, or hold the same views. But both are oppressive and corrupt in their own ways. It’s not even debatable.

I’m firmly in the D liberal camp, but I don’t lie to myself that those Ds in power actually give a shit about me or people like me. Their interests are in securing their own money/power structure. Sure, sometimes that trickles down to help us common folk, but it’s just an accidental side effect.

I’ll definitely vote like lives depend on it, but, unfortunately, how folks vote depend on who’s lives they find important to save; that’s not as straightforward as it should be.

This is my fear. I’ve only had the house 2 years, exclusively rented before. I’m ‘making it’ right now, but a few years down, who knows. Sorry for you, hope it comes out okay.

Gross.

Ahh, the voice of reason. All ____ are ____ (fill in with your favorite stereotypes). Then, us serfs fight amongst ourselves, oblivious to what’s really going on.

Did any of you read and understand the article?

Yeah, but Israel /s

About 25 miles. About 30 years ago, I had a stint with meth, short-lived, thankfully. I walked from the north end of my city to a suburb south of the city to my sisters house to detox after a bender and running out of money. Funny thing, in retrospect, I had just enough money left for bus fare but when I got on the bus, I was still so sketched out (paranoid) that I couldn’t bear to be around other (sober) people. So, I got off the bus immediately and walked. Not my finest hour.

Discover is the best one I’ve ever had. No annual fee, started out with 0% interest for 18 months. I constantly get 0% balance transfer offers for 12 months, sure it costs a 3% one time fee, but it sure saves money on interest. Plus, their customer service and fraud dispute are the best imo.

Who cares? Fuck reddit. Half the content is bots anyway. So, bots stealing content to train AI to make content, which the bots will steal and repost. Circle of death for reddit. Good luck with that IPO.

You’re stating that “not guilty” doesn’t mean “innocent.” I’m adding that “not guilty” doesn’t always mean “guilty but got away with it.” Which part confused you?

Similarly, “not guilty” does not necessarily mean “guilty, but we couldn’t prove 100%”. So, a lack of conviction is not evidence that they did commit a crime, as you’re implying. This is especially relevant to rape cases.

I’m not into guys, but I think Caleb and Rick should be on your list.

I’m oldish, and I can say with 95% certainty that I’ve never met a person called Sandy. What do i win?

No thanks, bitches, I’ll ruin my own life tyvm. :) However, clair(e) should be on this list.

Sound it out…

As a football fan, I’m way more annoying about it than people who complain about it. Ask my family and neighbors. And I’m definitely not the exception.

Also, note that super bowl haters have never attempted to burn cities to the ground due to hated of football.

Professional sports are entertaining for many people. As are other forms of entertainment also full of ads and rich people doing silly things. But, I agree that the Super Bowl is over the top obnoxious. As much as I usually like watching football, I tend to avoid the Super Bowl unless one of my favorite teams is playing, which, unfortunately, is rare.

Shouldn’t park with your forks up

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. Employees are clocking in early and not performing work related duties, and employees are clocking in before they even show up to work. What I meant by my last question is that employees are stealing wages. I know that won’t be popular, and it’s not at all to say that employers are worse at it, but your comment on the subject brought into mind because it’s definitely related.

I see this quite often as a manager. Shift is 8-5, hour lunch. Per policy, deviance must be approved by the supervisor. I get people all the time clocking in at 740ish and not starting work until 815ish, circle jerk around the coffee pot. In fairness, I SHOULD dock that time, but I don’t. Write up for violating established policy. I had a guy a few days ago, clocked in at 8, text me at 815 that he is running late because he can’t find his clothes (what?!). Who’s stealing wages in this scenario?
