'oh, I'm sorry did you think that was a request?'

Just got informed last week that we didn't meet the qualifications to get a bonus this year.

The qualifications they didn't tell us about.

The qualifications that we have no control over.

No bonus because people higher in the chain didn't meet specific goals. (Pretty sure they are still getting a bonus because rank.)

I won't meet the qualifications next year because I'll be working somewhere else. The pay is low because bonuses make up for it (supposedly).

Idiocracy

You would get sued by FOX 'News' for copying their daily programming.

At one point in my life I designed bathrooms and kitchens. I've sold thousands of faucets. Here's a few points on regular retail faucets in the US.

Expensive faucets, you are paying for the design (Grohe), or for quality parts (Kohler).

Cheap faucets are made with cheap parts and are often old designs from major brands. These knock-offs are sold under store brand names usually (Aquasource/Lowes, Glacier Bay/Home Depot) and are made of cheap plastic. Avoid these unless you plan on replacing (rentals).

If you buy Grohe, don't buy a US made model. Another company paid to use the name and 'style' in the US but the interior parts are cheap plastic bits and some things are modified to reduce the cost of manufacturing. Not worth the extra money they charge.

For most people I recommend sticking to the big names. Moen, Delta, Kohler, etc. They come with good warranties and parts are available everywhere.

You can still find really neat old faucets and repair them. Chicago, Price Pfister, Eljer had some good stuff back in the day and you can get new parts from Danco.

The elite Democrats aren't worried about fighting back.

They are trying to figure out how they can win the next round AND HOW THEY WILL USE THE SYSTEM TO THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE ONCE THEY REGAIN CONTROL.

We need another party that is actually for the people.

Don't 'break it up', nationalize it, and do the same with all these other giant corporations.

Profits could support UBI instead of encouraging billionaires.

Got stopped by a rando while trying to build up the courage to jump. Told him that my car was broken down and that's why I was stopped in the middle of the bridge in pouring down rain.

He got out and offered to help me, despite the fact that it was 3AM and the rain was coming down hard.

Awkward.

The car of course started just fine and I thanked him and continued my drive home.

I doubt he had any idea the difference he made.

I did maintenance for a low income building. They would have me upgrade specific units so they could Airbnb them while they denied low income applications to keep those units empty. Disabled people who needed housing were denied because it was more profitable to leave it empty and rent it out to tourists a few times a month.

We also didn't do maintenance on specific units in order to get tenants to move out. There was a specific unit that was given to new tenants that would routinely flood. They used it to get rid of people that complained too much. If you only complained a little and cooperated with their bs, you could eventually move to a unit that stayed dry all year.

It happened to me decades ago. My PARENTS didn't care.

"Well what did you say to make them so angry?"

I was still a teenager, and cops with guns and nightsticks had to beat me up while I was being processed and wearing handcuffs, all because I was "running my mouth".

ACAB

I'll never not like Waterworld

Do. Not. Comply.

Giving in is what gives them the power.

I absolutely will call out people who think it's ok to just go along with the new fascist regime.

Wearing a chain.

Chain necklace? Gay

Chain bracelet? Gay

Chain wallet? Also Gay

Chain mail. Well now you're a dork. And also Gay

Make America Green Again

Does BK still say "Have it your way"?

Or M&Ms "Melt in your mouth, not in your hand."

What a weird choice for a photo

Unfortunately they weren't concerned about public money used for religion.

They were concerned that those other religions expect equal treatment.

The same company that told me they would give me a $300 prepaid visa to switch. Then told me I had to stay a customer for 30 days before I would get it. And at 30 days told me I was outside the 30 day window to claim it?

I'm so surprised.

This is how they lose.

If you had a party actually for the people, you would get a lot of the Trump votes as well. Most of MAGA weren't about racist bullshit or half of what's happened since the changeover.

They are tired of the corporate and government corruption and Trump promised (lied) to do something about that. We need to offer the same hope without all the hate. We need to offer change without just saying the other side is evil. It isn't the 'other side' that is the problem. It's the corrupt people in positions of power and the ones that tell you to blame the 'other side'.

Spearheaded the LGBT rights?

Some of us literally battled it out in the streets in the 80s and 90s. People fucking died. We were expelled from our families.

It's hard not to take offense to your comment. Millennials did not spearhead shit. You were GIVEN the opportunity to be yourselves.

edit: Don't think that I don't appreciate that we still have boundaries to push. The war against sexuality isn't over, and the old warriors are still here. We just don't make as much noise these days.
