When the Ukraine war kicked off I called the Ukrainian embassy in my country and let them know that my upstairs bedrooms were empty, and that if they could get the people to the US, I could house some. Then I called all of my representatives and senators and asked for refugee status for Ukrainian citizens.

In the end because of political fuckery I didn’t end up hosting any Ukrainians, but my coworker who’s from Ukraine was able to get her family over here.

In the middle of the night with nary a sound to be heard.

I’ve always wanted to do van life. Can I come?

Apparently soldier deaths were gods way of punishing the US for not being more religious or something.

During the era where the Westboro Baptist Church was protesting soldiers funerals, they weren’t allowed to enter private property, but they could be on public property.

One of the guys I went to school with died and we got word that WBC was going to be protesting his funeral. Everyone who could parked on the street that day and took up every public parking area, stores and churches closed their parking lots so they could “repaint” or “resurface”, the local national guard, ems, firefighters, and police, had a coordinated “community outreach” where they shuttled people to the graveyard because we had done such a good job of blocking every parking spot that you would have had to walk for about 6 miles to get to the graveyard. Finally the local biker gang escorted in the hearse and parked at the entrance so when the protesters showed up they just revved their bikes until the protesters left.

We never heard the protesters but we did have to pause the funeral for about 15 minutes until the protesters realized the biker gang wasn’t going to let them be heard.

Number 5 I think? I’ve lost count.

DM here. Had a classic dungeon crawl going and the party came against some Kuo-Toa. The Kuo-Toa rolled really poorly against the bards major illusion, so now the party are the mouthpieces of the Kuo-Toa god Blibdoolpoolp.

He was old, and didn’t have an easy life before being rescued. I don’t blame him, but it was kind of funny that his standard response was “fuck you”.

My aunt worked as a zoo vet, and was one of the people animal control would call if they found an exotic animal and didn’t know what to do with it. As a result I grew up being able to casually play with several different species of monkeys, as well as an asshole African grey parrot. When I was in high school she even fostered a serval cat for a short time till they could find a more permanent facility.

And this is your cue that this is serious.

They also signed contracts and have not done anything that would constitute a breach of contract. So firing them would be a breach of contract on the military’s side requiring a buyout of their contract.

With a spoon

Close second would be chopsticks.

Pretty easy if you don’t work for google.

1. Upload everything to a google drive.
2. setup inactive account manager
3. add all the news agencies you can get a hold of, government offices, police etc.
4. make sure it’s read only access.

If they want to silence you they have to 1. Know about your account. 2. Keep it active.

Currently Verizon, because my work pays for it. Previously Visible. Because it’s cheap.

We looked at our client, the event organizer, who was the one paying us, not the presenter. They were not happy with that statement.

“They get what they get, don’t even bother moving the furniture.”

Yes ma’am.

It was not, the event organizers were not happy with that statement as we try to accommodate and had made all of the presentations up till that point go off without a hitch.

I do events, one of the events was a medical conference. We had an exec for a pharmaceutical company presenting and he wanted the entire stage layout changed 45 minutes before the presentation. Like completely different projectors, screens, mics, that sort of thing. Not a quick fix by any means. We told him it wasn’t possible, his response,

“Anything is possible if money and physics allow it, and I have money.”

Their pharmaceutical company wasn’t invited back to the next years event. We were.

Por que no los dos?

Ace here. I feel you. I may be male presenting but I have no interest in anything beyond platonic, and even then that’s a stretch.
