House GOP takes revenge on Democrats after McCarthy ousting
Why don't these Republicans pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop waiting for handouts from Nancy Pelosi?

Gen Z commit to ‘canceling out’ their MAGA parents votes in new TikTok trend

My father use to send me into the voting booth with my mother to make sure she "remembered" who to vote for....no election officials ever stopped me from going in there and I was too young to understand that I was a spy. My father's not violent but I'm sure I wasn't the only child spy being used by men who were.

They've been doing so unbelievably well...I can almost hear the other shoe whistling as it falls through the air. When the Dems fuck this one up it's gonna hurt.

The Peasant Life
There's no way farming was only done 5 sporadic months of the year, that livestock keeping would allow you to just fuck off and not work that frequently, and they often did things like produce parts of their own cloths etc which I would count that much sewing/darning to be work let along the rest of the homesteading requirements...

The fact that there's a lady out there named Stephanie who insisted the whole world call her Lady Gaga and we're all just like, "okay."
Vin Diesels real name is Mark Sinclair and weve all accepted that too. Marilyn Manson's name is Brian Warner and Alice Cooper was born Vincent Furnier. Stage names are pretty common with performers

Seriously my adhd management system is basically "putting shit where I'll trip over it" and then waiting to get sick of still deliberately stepping over/around the inconveniently placed item.

I don't think they're implying that he is wearing those, it's just a reference photo for anyone who doesn't know what spatz are.

Over 60 percent of Gen Z have an anxiety disorder
Reply in thread
Let's also not pretend that older generations arent likely wildly under diagnosed because of stigma and lack of any resources. That means Gen Z may just have a totally normal amount of anxiety.

Beer brewing was originally a field dominated by women.
The presitege associated with a position can also change the expected gender. Women traditionally cooked meals at home but "Chefs" are predominately male, especially famous or celebrated Chefs.

Finding a Tech Job Is Still a Nightmare

1 page (niche industries maybe 2). If you can't get your point across in 1 page then that's a huge red flag....24 pages? When I was in HR I wouldn't have even read that resume, I'm amazed he's gotten a single interview with that let alone 60.

Off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot charged with attempted murder after trying to stop engines mid-flight
Reply in thread
While I agree that most of the talk about helping those struggling is empty I think it's a bit disingenuous to imply suicide by airplane was the only option available to him. This happened in America were there are almost as many guns as people. Hurting others during a suicide attempt by trying to crash a plane is a choice.
We definitely need better mental health resources but killing 83 other people wasn't his only option.

Realistically executive salaries probably won't cover a salary increase across the workforce foe the whole country. Not doing a stock buy back just might though.

Alabama preacher F.L. ‘Bubba’ Copeland kills himself after being outed as ‘transgender curvy girl’

You are absolutely right...except the article even states that Brittni described herself as a transgender woman. So it seems appropriate for us to take Brittni's word on that.

What's something that's not common knowledge but you think everyone should know?
Reply in thread
This is the part everyone misses. I worked in HR for a number of years and 90% of my job was telling low/middle level managers "you can't do that to your employee." (I wasnt high up enough to be dealing with c-suite level complaintants), 9% was recruiting and paperwork, and 1% was telling an employee "You did something potentially terminable."
Most people only seem to recall that 1% and then keep talking about how "HR isn't your friend/on your side theyre on the company's side." Which is true! But they also didn't see the 1000 times I slapped their managers hand because I was on the companies side not the managers. Unless your really high up your manager is someone's employee too. HR isn't siding with you manager for shits and giggles, there is a reason management won a complaint against you and it isn't "HR likes management better." It's that they framed your problematic behavior better than you framed theirs. Frame everything you report to HR as "this is why it's a liability for the company" not "I don't like x,y,z. So-and-so is mean."
Also remeber just being a bad manager (not doing something immediately terminable) isn't a firable offense. Yelling/being a low level dick for example may not be something deemed firable. One complaint isn't gonna e enough and ideally multiple people will complain as well.

Man who shot YouTuber on video at Dulles Town Center found not guilty by jury
Reply in thread
People keep saying that's phrase is harmless. To me that sounds like the type of confused and stupid thing Maga people would yell while committing a hate crime. That combined with two people not taking no for an answer while advancing on you? It sounds like a threat.
When I was living in Virginia I was in a pretty rural area so my view of Virginia might be colored. I found it to be a really red state ( at leadt the part I wan in, not sure about the part this took place in) and yelling at someone there for thinking about your twinkle sounds like a prelude to bigoted violence to me.

(Bad) dog owners be like
Reply in thread
I hate when people let their off leash dogs run up to my leashed dogs (we only walk in leash required areas). They always yell "they're friendly" And I have to yell back "mine arent". A suprising number of people still just mosey over slowly half-heartedly calling their dog while lm actively backing up and restraining my growling dog. One of my dogs is a rescue and she will fight anything if it charges her, a dog, a bike, a horse - she does not care.
Some people should not be allowed to have a dog.

I feel like a lot of these parents are also doing the insidious thing of trying to justify that it isn't "their genes" that are responsible. Like having Autism or something in your family is a dirty secret and "taints" their "family line".
