Elections have consequences. Also, allowing people to get away with ignoring the rules has consequences. Refusing to do their constitutional job in the supremee court appointment by Obama should have resulted in impeachment of leader McConnell and a repudiation of antidemocratic activities by those who swore an oath to uphold the constitution and our democracy.
Many many years ago I realized that there would be no social security by the time I retired. Lo and behold Social Security will only pay 70% of its dues 3 years before I retire.
The good news is I’ve been saving for retirement since the age of 25. The bad news is there’s been a plethora of problems that have restricted my ability to save.
Thankfully, I I’m in a way better place than most people. Unfortunately I am still going to fall short.
Probably a reference to how many people died because of crashes in them.
Ah, yes. The plans laid out by the ultra wealthy bear fruit. We blame and shame each othe while they pay no taxes! Mr. Burns would be proud.
Remember that just five years ago, Trumpcsigned a tax bill that gave the wealthiest amongst us a collective two trillion dollar tax cut that cost me the home interest and local tax deductions i depended upon. My crime was living in a “blue state”.
I literally had this exact exchange with someone last year, when they tried to cast doubt on global warming by comparing it to the ozone. Another person did the same , using acid rain, and I pointed out that the northeast sued the shit out of the Midwest until they cut that shit with the coal fire power plants.
My thoughts, exactly. I still have the original game in the box . World of WarCrack captured me for a few years. I still remember the beauty of the world as I ran or rode horse between cities. The pine forests with snow falling was amazing.
I lost interest because I’m a solitary gamer and you really need to be a guild member to enjoy it. That leads to mandatory raids at 2 am, etc., which I just can’t handle.
I sidestepped all this crap by buying Synology in 2014 and upgrading 2 years ago. Sure, it isn’t FOSS, but it is very nearly plug and play.
I configured OpenVPN for when I want to use it remotely, and self host my music, video, and family photos.
Having the 4 drive RAID-6 gives me some security from the danger of losing data between backups.
I store all my scanned documents, ocr’d, and keep the paper under control.
That is exactly what happens when one enlists in the U.S. military. Dress codes are a thing, and legitimate.
Well, as a customer facing role, they have good reason for the requirement. She is representing this business. They have the right to represent themselves a cartain way.
You use a VPN, right?
I found this amusing, personally, but apparently about 50% of readers hated it… I wonder why? (And as important, why so many?)
This is what happens when one vodka’s and drives.
Over the years this has become more invasive. We didn’t have to hand over our I’d for scanning potentially into a permanent record to do things. A quick proof of age was all people cared about for those things inappropriate for minors.
It’s illegal to ask for your SSN, yet it happens all the time and we have no recourse if we refuse.
We’re being desensitized to the invasion of privacy to the point we don’t care any more. I think that is the goal. Death by 1000 pricks.
Wait! The darling of the conspiracy theory wingnut flat earther, pizzagate crowd is pushing government certified identification requirements???
We have found the number of the beast, and it is X (and the neurochip he’s pushing)
Noaw I understand why so many people hate shorts! I never use the official app or browser to watch, so I don’t see the advertisements.
It looks like it figured out sarcasm. That’s pretty advanced cognition. Many humans can’t process sarcasm!
Basically, I read this as, “if this is all you have, you’re in bad shape, bud. If you’re testing me, f**k you!”
A hobby or a passion is not a job you do to keep a roof over your head and feed your family. You also probably don’t live in a communist country where you are compelled to work at low wages and wait your turn to get access to meager supplies for your crochet.
Actually, that’s not true. Quality of product and communist countries is generally low because there is no incentive to do quality work.
Your point is valid, but it lacks the empathy for all the people who are displaced. In our society, displaced people are not given help to find a new place.
When a skilled worker is displaced, and can no longer find work in their skills, their choices are to spend a huge amount of money to go back to college or trade school to get new skills or be forever lost in low-income jobs.
Going from $100,000 per year to $40,000 per year overnight is devastating.
They cannot celebrate his conviction because that would undermine their assertion that the trump trial was rigged.
In a twisted way, their reaction makes sense, and for me, was predictable. The cult must be constantly managed for it to remain intact.
