How is that the headline? Not that “the president’s priorities are fucked”, but that he used a naughty word in private when he was pissed?

Pretty sure it’s “striked”, but you could use “haven’t gone on strike” to avoid the question altogether.

Someone wrote an article about this?!? Obviously the porn-related trial should come

first.

Third paragraph

If they ever get this perfected, the next step would be to deal with the inevitable “you actually have the wrong department. Please hold while I transfer you to some other asshole”.

Not for me. After nearly 20 years in retail, I can safely say that at least half the people out there are dumbasses. I’m sure that they’d vote for one of their kind.

I feel like this is a good place to share this example of Pitchfork writing at its finest…

“As I sat in my tiny computer room/closet, sweat dripping from my nipples onto my stomach which was bulbous from a fine foccacia that evening…”

Am I just tired, or is “new prehistoric” kind of funny?

I’ve been trying, but for some reason, it will not recognize my HD. I’be reformatted my drive…tried different drives…I don’t know what else to do.

It’s his.

I haven’t done any Uber driving for quite some time and never did DoorDash at all, so keep in mind this information may not be valid…

From what I could see, Uber never took a cut of the tip, so app vs cash shouldn’t matter…but…I would still prefer cash, because I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Uber did, in fact, take a cut. Though more importantly, just make sure you tip one way or another. There was something clearly faulty with how Uber calculated their fees for food as opposed to passengers. I did a few Uber Eats deliveries, but turned it off once I saw how little it paid. $2-4 for 30-40 minutes was ridiculous, and it only gets worse if you have any problems (food wasn’t ready…or the customer has you bring it to their door which could be on the 8th floor of their apt building…oh, and you can’t park at the apt building without being a resident…or maybe the Uber Eats driver before you grabbed your order). I strongly discourage using Uber Eats unless you’re prepared to tip very, very well. Uber is barely paying them. I was only occasionally driving for Uber for extra cash around my full-time job, but there are people that are taking every ride that comes up because it’s their only income. Until compensation in the food service industry is fundamentally reworked, always tip well.

We have two cats that are obsessed with bread. Can’t leave any out without them fairly quickly chewing through the wrapping to eat the bread. We’ve had quite a few cats over the years, but have never seen that type of weirdness before.

At least they got the military covered. What a relief.

I have little doubt that the country will end up as some version of Trump’s authoritarian state. The question is the timing.

I actually think that our best chance of avoiding it (in the long run) is another Trump victory. He will make those changes so abruptly that people will react far more strongly than if we slid into an authoritarian state gradually. I mean…think about the possibility of Trump having won in 2020. The DNC would have to accept that they need to nominate a truly progressive candidate, and people would be demanding change immediately. Instead, we’re justifying Biden/Harris again because they’re not Trump.

Cats are irrefutable proof that the world isn’t flat. They would’ve pushed everything off by now.

I’m just going to avoid the strenuous exercise part.

Obviously it’s not The Onion. It’s way too weird for that.

The offer was for a handjob, actually.

Probably because of the amount of money they receive. If I understand correctly, they’re set to receive billions of dollars a year through 2028 because of a commitment made by Obama. The US military has its hands in everything and spends money anywhere, buy I think it’s always been disproportionately generous with Israel, and in spite of war crimes it’s committed.
