I mean, I stayed until the end but my drinking skyrocketed. I honestly don’t remember the end. It was rough. Being a little informed I knew good and well that Trump was absolutely dodging the questions and laying down outright lies and propaganda, but every time I looked at Biden… holy fuck.

Funny thing, I couldn’t figure out how to use the higher tier magic you got from the stones you collected. I played the whole game using the base spells you got from the environment. I wish Google were around back then to figure that one out.

Reminds me of ordering* ‘Cajun fries’ at that one American fast food diner with the black and white checkerboard. They literally charge you a quarter more to sprinkle the same Cajun seasoning that’s on your table. Holy fuck… I was more than a little pissed when I saw that after sitting down.

I’d have a full on hard on after mercing* 4-5 without getting shot myself. Daphne is rocking it, kudos to her.

Most often rounded hooded ghost costumes are ghosts. Pointed are klanners.

The jimbob gif isn’t an accurate comparison is what I’m saying. Klanners aren’t an animal doing animal things to defend itself from something it’s limited intelligence designated as a threat, or it just wildly flexed and jimbob freaked and attacked. The jimbob gif would be better compared to the police* officers jumping out of their patrol car and unloading their full magazines… after an acorn struck their vehicle.

My comment was she would probably be able to articulate a self defense claim against the klanners… because they’re actively trying to strip human rights from people and/or outright murder them. And, they have the intelligence of a man rather than some random animal.

Are you defending the KKK…? We’re all joking here, but the joke of the meme itself is that she shot KKK members. Do you know their history of racism and lynching black Americans? If you are supporting white supremacy so much so that you’re riding around in their klan outfit? Eh…

That’s like claiming to be part of the Nazi party in Germany, you’re going to get what you Fucking deserve and I doubt anyone would bat a fucking eye at whatever you got for your Nazi beliefs.

I mean, they asked for it. I wouldn’t call it murder. She might have a really good case of self defense.

I’ve seen The Handmaiden’s Tale. I know how mass immigration into Canada would end up, you aren’t going to fool me.

Yeah, you’d hope they’d be sorry about it. But, no. My boss had a phone conversation with their boss and then we discussed it this morning. They’re on their toes, so we’re going to continue like we have been until everything blows over. Short, guarded and professional.

Yeah, I got promoted from one region to the other, 4 hours away. I bought a decent home a few years ago with a really good interest rate and the value is up about 75k. I’d rather not sell it. Which means I’m living in a room on our footprint. It’s not unheard of in our industry, so much so that we even have a name for it; “Geo Bachelor”.

I’ve spent the work week stuck at the office, and have the weekends back at home, since the new year. This one has been the worst one yet. I’m taking every Friday off for the next few months, so this is the last day of the week for me. But, it’s still rough. It’s been a train wreck.

For example, there was an issue I inherited from someone else. So, when the next higher ups at regional asked about what was going on, I explained in detail what I was handed and what very limited timeline I had to get it running to meet its deadline. Not to make something perfect with more time, just to get it out the door. Then this individual didn’t read my detailed response and asked the same question again. So, I copied that small portion that originally answered her question (removing the deep dive explanation) out of my prior email, added ‘like I said in the below email’ because she added a CC of her boss to it, escalating for some reason, and I did the same for my boss, and I wanted to make sure that the new comers knew what I had said and was saying… and then her boss responded back asking about why I had ‘attitude’ and why I didn’t do it ‘right’ the first time.

I didn’t have attitude, and I didn’t start the project, I just made sure we got it out the door in the very limited time period I had. That mission wasn’t going to wait for me, so I made sure we completed it. The email was a concise and professional. She didn’t read my last one with detail on what lead to the problem, and her boss didn’t either, before they jumped down my throat about it. The last hour yesterday, that I could have been using elsewhere on other projects, was sitting in my boss’ office as he explained to them the same situation I did and that having read the email chain himself he absolutely sees what I meant and how I meant it. If these guys would have just called and asked… instead of putting people on blast…

Anyway, I’m still in my room at the office putting off getting up. I’m going to skip my work out and get Starbucks instead, for the second time this week. Fuck it.

Not if he gets into the White House. Every crime they are still doing won’t matter when he doesn’t give up power this next time.

The right is underfunding libraries across the country (in the US), attacks like this would or do already further stress libraries when they’re already financially vulnerable. This does have a huge impact on this particular library.

I will say… that I heard rumor of price fixing in the rental market and the DOJ investigating it, link below from a quick google search. I haven’t really dived deep into that topic, but it’s there if you’re interested in a little read.

Thank you for the nuanced response.

Hey, man. Take that up with ol’ Lucas over there.

Only the Sith deal in absolutes, my friend.

Ok, so we’re going to throw a negative generalization up to support our narrative of ‘ALAB’.

I purchased my home within the last 4 years. Before that my wife rented from the same owner for 10 years. Living in midtown Atlanta, a place that is now full of 1.5 million dollar homes on postal stamp sized lots. That landlord or owner may have had a few properties, we don’t know, but it was a personal rental that was a 2Bed/1bath for 2/3rds the local rate. And they did the maintenance at their expense.

They also have kept up with her afterward, and mentioned that they wish that they could have found another tenant like us. If I rented out a portion of my place while I was living out of town for work? I’d aspire to be as good as they were. Sadly, it’s just me now so maintenance and yard work would have to wait for the weekends.

Let’s just have a little more nuance. Big Corpo is bad, but not everyone who is trying to make a living is.
