Is that a zoo where each shitcoin is in its own paddock? That sounds fun.

However, I do love the idea that some staffer had to call the copyright office and had to file an emergency copyright claim on booing Vance.

If someone said this to me, I would laugh so had I couldn’t resist the sale.

Shit your feets, my guy

I will stand corrected in that apparently some of the photos were taken by their people. But things like economic data or demographic data come from the State Department. State used to put out all these policy documents and reports which were all original sources of USG data. I’m seeing Archive.org is overloaded to look at the Factbook sources page, but IIRC, they give a lot of credit to other sources.

I seriously doubt that they’re saving all that much money.

I also bet this is correct - if you look at how they collect the data, they don’t do any first-hand investigation of basic info that is clearly shared or copied from other USG agencies. They’re editors. This probably puts like 4 people, 2 of which I bet are perpetually near retirement, out of editing jobs. And it’s not like they’re saving server or web hosting time when they also host huge amounts of declassified archives.

I’m not sure how people don’t see these things as anti-ads. I wouldn’t touch any of these companies with a 20 meter cattle prod.

I’m happy that creators get paid, sure, but if a company has to go out of their way to get someone to make ads for them, it doesn’t inspire trust at all.

FWIW, if one’s foodservice experience is bartending, you are given significantly more license to stand your ground and kick people out. Legally defensible license to do so. I genuinely enjoyed bartending most of the time, especially when it wasn’t a high-volume place.

When it’s at a bar/grill restaurant, if you and the cook don’t run tag-team being bad-cop on every table that gets weird to spare the server staff, you’re doing it wrong. You are a weapon to be wielded. A 6-top often loves the suggestion that someone not getting a tip is a mutual villain making drama and that the server is the only person making magic happen against all odds. It’s theater, right? You provide dinner and a show.

Especially when in a hiring mindset, employers can see it as you being undesirable or lazy, maybe even covering for quitting before getting fired and being out of work suddenly and without a plan. “If you were such hot shit, why aren’t you jumping from job to job, higher and higher up the ladder?” That kind of thing.

What’s important to keep in context is that typically one provides relevant job experience on a resume. Not all job experience. So gaps might be actual work, even.

Typically if you can have a good excuse and say you did something productive with the time, it’s fine. “I was looking for work for 6 months after we moved and it was a tough market. I spent free time helping with a local community gardening project” would be totally acceptable. “I took a 3 month break to go work on an organic farm” is still work, just not relevant to your job application at Cinnabon or whatever.

One person I know of died from it as the result of growing up on a Superfund site.

I feel like Millennials are like honey bees. In 30 years someone’s going to figure it out and say “Ohhhhhh, hey guys? Yeah, it was when you combined hot dogs, sour patch kids, and specifically strawberry crush within a 36 hour period between ages 5 and 22, and are then got COVID and were exposed to microwaves after that to activate it all.”

That assumption relies a lot on thinking that Elon isn’t a fucking idiot.

Trying to convert your way of thinking by “making it easy.”

Honestly, it’s like a language. You have to use it and feel it through immersion. Experience is how you get people to convert.

Holy shit.

So the guy that bought Twitter and turned it into a literal CSAM machine and gave money to the other guy accused of raping children via the global elite pedo ring is also mentioned in the list of documents about the global pedo ring?

Shocking - you think the FBI will arrest them soon? /s

I see what you did there 🫘🫘🫘🫘🫘🫘🫘🫘

Ah yes, the big payoff for having installed judges is suing your workplace so you know they’ll let you win.

Why stop at $10B? Why not $100B? Why not $1T so you can be richer than Elon?

Sorry, no. Only in person at 666 Mockingbird Lane.

Rickets?

ooooooo, sorry, no. It’s always soggy apple cobbler with 3 pieces of corn that somehow made it into the cobbler square.

Yes, but square in the sense that they will all be still partially-frozen 1960’s style TV dinners in the foil.

Clearly this person is a keeper. As in, they’ll keep you locked in a dungeon in a castle somewhere while laughing maniacally.

Sometimes bread tastes better than skinny feels.

But I only know what bread tastes like, not the other one.
