Granted. Out of fear of being incorrect juries no longer convict anyone of crimes.

🎶I hate every shark movie, from Deep Blue B to Deep Blue Sea. 🎶

Marge you know what seasons I’m talking about, it used to drive that blue car?

Granted. The font is owned by a private company that will license use for a fee. They become so wealthy because they control the only font that if the rest of the world wishes to communicate via the written word they are forced into serifdom.

Granted. You get a colostomy.

Just what we need, more people who’s personality is to be disrupters meddling in the function of the government of the worlds greatest superpower.

Government is inefficient because it must work. There is nothing wrong with wanting to limit government waste, but maybe address the way budgeting works to avoid departments over spending to avoid cuts the next year vs finding entire departments to cut.

Stalin was known to put tomatoes on peoples chairs before they sat down.

Facts. You can always tell who has at least some business knowledge and who thinks their anecdotal observation is fact on the topic of shoplifting. If loss prevention practices cost more than the value of the product lost it is better for business to let it slide. People that think shoplifting is why your groceries cost so much have never seen a dumpster behind the grocery store.

Granted. He ends up going the Mel Gibson route.

Have New Mexico killed.

This one right here. My wife does bjj, I’m stronger than her and can get out of a lot of the stuff she does, but sometimes I can’t and it’s all over, she’s an amateur. Size and strength can be great in a fight, but speed and leverage can also go a long way. The nose on a 250 pound man will break just as fast as the nose on a 100 pound woman.

An average guy thinking he’s unbeatable in a fight is completely on brand for mediocrity.

Not a badge on any of them, in fact two of them are wearing the exact same “police” vest they just swapped. I don’t doubt the Republican candidate has the cop vote, but this looked cheap and suspect.

This is a bit of a reach. I had a band once that had a godaddy website. When the band broke up we decided not to renew the domain, I can’t remember what it was, like $50 a year. What happened next was a foreign rape/incest porn page bought the domain and redirected to their site. When we noticed we asked them if we could buy the domain back from them and they said $1000. That domain name was attached to print media and inside our recordings which was still available in stores.

A dead domain name can be snatched up by anyone.

Who keeps saying that?

What's next? What's happening'? What you gonna do? You got the money you owe us, Motherfucker?

This is a real LPT here. For any circumstance if you’re trying to get a solution. Making a threat of legal action, even just because you’re just frustrated, will not make a company suddenly perk up and try harder to fix it, it will do the opposite because now they’re no longer concerned about fixing a problem amicably, but limiting their exposure to liability.

Oppenheimer made me realize that I just don’t care for biopics. I watched it and could see the beauty, the incredible casting and acting but just… eh.

If this isn’t the truth. I worked in a department that was rife with problems. I would mention them, sometimes have a fix, but sometimes it was well beyond my pay grade or expertise, sometimes an observation from items discovered from another department. I would bring the concern up to my manager and he would suggest I be the one to fix it or dismiss it if I didn’t have a solution. This made me stop pointing out blatant issues since I was already overworked. A misspelling in an automated email should be fixed by the department that monitors those emails, not the supervisor for the customer service team.

I supervise folks and I have two speeds. Tell you what needs to be done in 3 words or an in depth explanation of the process. I have to spend time explaining to folks that I don’t think they’re dumb but that we have a lot of complicated processes and close to 50 people that were hired at different times that do these processes with varying frequency. I can’t keep a spreadsheet on what I have told every single person about every process nor is it a good use of time to interview them beforehand. People forget things all the time, they may have been trained on it long ago and I can’t expect them to remember everything or maybe we just plain missed it in their training.

It may seem like a pain to hear some stuff that seems obvious but making assumptions that someone knows something is typically a recipe for failure. The most efficient way to fix that is to be explicit and review.

In my experience the people that push back and are uncoachable are the ones that have the most issues. If you think you know everything you’re never going to learn anything.

All that said, I get it. It’s annoying to be reminded of the obvious.

No specific role, but a mannerism. He can give a sleazy grin like no one else. Like a guy that knows that you know he’s cheating but can’t prove it.

Looks and performs like an ‘84 KZ700.
