The cool thing about inflation is it hides shitty stock market performance.

The greater the inflation, the more stocks and GDP go up!

Reality has a well-known liberal bias. So of course it’s on the Republican’s enemy list.

They were also federalized and sent to Iraq and Afghanistan.

The city I work in installed Flock cameras. City Council was clear they were only to be used to flag license plates for active felony warrants, silver alerts, and Amber alerts.

In less than 48 hours they were using them to give out tickets and track people who had turned in Open Records requests regarding the police department.

When the butchers at a single Walmart store in Texas formed a union, Walmart retaliated by firing every butcher nationwide and switching to only pre-packed meats for all stores.

They’ll put themselves through a lot to make sure the peons don’t get too uppity.

Lemon juice. Tomato sauce. That one egg that for some reason decided to be a real motherfucker.

I love my cast iron cookware, but it can be a fickle bitch.

We may reach that point.

We should try a general strike first. We don’t even need to combine it with protests. We just have everyone stay home and refuse to work. You can fight the government by playing old video games or watching TV.

I can drive 2 hours in still be in Austin.

Christ only threatened Hell one time, in Matthew 25. He says people will be damned for the following reasons:

1. Not feeding the hungry
2. Not welcoming foreigners
3. Not caring for the sick
4. Not showing compassion to the imprisoned

How is the GOP the party of Christ again?

P0420 hit me this week…

Federal .gov.

I run a .gov site for a municipality, and I promise my postings are nice, boring shit like meeting agendas, permit forms, and burn ban notices.

Boring government is good government.

I’ve done Barf several times, and it’s always a hit in public.

I made a tail that came out of my pants and had 2 bent coathangers run parallel to eack other inside the cloth for support that went into the pants and were bent back up and around, came out the top of the pants and wrapped around my belt.

That made the tail stand at whatever angle I wanted by bending the coathangers, but when I walked it had a great, natural bounce and wag.

One year when I did it when I was a gun salesman at Cabela’s, so it fit with out uniforms.

She’s batshit, but I do think she legitimately cares about protecting kids from predators.

I don’t like her, but I respect that when there really did turn out to be a secret cabal of child rapists at the highest level of society, she didn’t swap sides because so many of them are on her side of the aisle.

I’m also incredibly depressed that I find it remarkable that a member of the majority party wants child rapists to be held to account.

He did try to violently overthrow the government.

Mods - please ban this

/s just to be safe

Back when it was under the price of 2 games a year it was a pretty good deal. Thinking of buying the next Halo and Forza? Get gamepass and save money, and have the opportunity to try a bunch of other stuff you wouldn’t have played.

There’s amazing games like Hades and Slay the Spire that I wouldn’t have been interested enough in to purchase that are now among my favorites because Gamepass let me try them.

Honestly, I think the better route would be to keep it cheap but not include new releases. Let people access the back catalog affordably with games that aren’t brining in much new revenue anyway. People will discover games and genres they otherwise would not have played, which will create new markets and boost ssales of new releases.

Hegseth and Trump were treating it like a political event where people worship them.

But these weren’t their superfans attending a rally. They were professionals ordered to be there and to listen. And even if they were fans, you don’t fucking clap and cheer at a military briefing.

He was President of the United States in 2020.

I know ow history is a hard subject, but it was 5 fucking years ago.

He was President for ALL of 2020.

He lost an election in November, but he was President until January 20, 2021.

I think both stances need more nuance. Yeah - if your company doesn’t hire someone that can fulfill your essential duties while you’re gone, that’s on them.

But when you do have someone who can cover your duties while you’re gone, it makes sense that you can’t all take off the same day. I work in municipal government for a small city, and my boss and I are each other’s backups. We’ve worked together for years, and we haven’t taken the same day off yet, but both take several weeks a year. Heck - tomorrow there’s an annual conference we both should attend, and we alternate each year who goes because someone has to hold down the fort.
