This kinda happened to me back in the nineties.

A former manager, no longer with our company, got word that I was interviewing for a new job.

She took it upon herself to call my then current manager to inform him that I was looking for a job.

To this he responded that not only was he aware of the situation, but he had helped refer me and and was facilitating the process because my wife had just gotten pregnant, the new job was double the income, and I was gonna need that, and he was happy for me.

I still fantasize about bringing severe misfortune to that woman.

Their recruiting offices were set up directly across the street from my daughter's high school right next to the Burger King where all the seniors went to lunch.

Shady as fuck

All this hasn't forced me into piracy.

It's worse than that.

It's forced me to stop caring about shows or movies entirely.

Michelle: When they go low we go high.

Kamala: Let the meme trolling begin!

If we do end up descending into a Draconian hellhole of an autocratic dictatorship at least the election run-up is going to be exponentially more entertaining than it was going to be with Joe.

I say that dictatorship part because don't think for a second that the GOP is gonna just roll over and die. Expect hard-line challenges to vote counts in every single swing state.

Harris oversaw more than 1,900 marijuana convictions in San Francisco, previously unreported records from the DA’s office show. Her prosecutors appear to have convicted people on marijuana charges at a higher rate than under her predecessor, based on data about marijuana arrests in the city.

As the political winds blow with her I guess. At least it's a positive change.

Send the scam a hundred bucks, lose it, sue Google for fraudulent endorsement.

(Yes yes, this wouldn't work in the real world against Google's legions of lawyers, but I like the thought exercise)

A good six year old with a gun would've solved this. /s

Has Alex Jones paid out a penny yet?

Will Rudy?

These guys seem to be able to ignore these judgements with impunity.

I am shocked that his attorney acknowledged wrongdoing. That'll fuck any appeal attempts.

I know these sovereign citizen people exist, but sometimes when I read these things, I can't help but think somebody is just fan fic spoofing the whole thing. Like there can't really be anybody this delusional, right?

Maybe don't answer that.

Remember that one time Hillary Clinton answered an endless barrage of congressional questions for eleven hours without showing any signs of fatigue?

Apparently, she should've just taken a nap.

It's gonna be unbelievably dystopian if this guy weasels his way back into office. No policy other than unhinged vengeance.

The only surviving adult MOVE member, Ramona Africa, refused to testify in court and was charged and convicted on charges of riot and conspiracy; she served seven years in prison.

Jesus Christ! No criminal charges against police so let's imprison the sole surviving victim!

(She did get a handsome settlement years later, so there's that but holy hell man)

Considering that you're probably making something like $1,500/mo in some place where rent is $3,000/mo I'd say take every discount you can get.

I briefly looked into doing a doctorate. The economics of it turned me away right quick.

Funny you mentioned that. I was out with my daughter a couple days ago and she got a flat that had to be replaced. She was legitimately worried that Toyota would void her warranty for not buying a tire from the dealership. Nevermind that we were out in rural nothingness with no Toyota dealership to be found.

So now the goalposts are at declaring war on Mexico.

Cool cool.

These right wing groups have fundamentally altered my perception of the meaning of the word liberty.

There are two kinds of landlords I've encountered over the years.

The first knew my name and would only raise my rent when their insurance and or property tax would increase, and would show me the bills as evidence. There was even a year when my rent got lowered because that year's assessment went down.

The second referred to my living space as a unit and spoke of my rent as below market that needed to catch up.

If you're renting, find the first landlord whenever possible, though it seems to get harder and harder to do so.

Dress codes have always been prohibitively expensive. When I was a young man getting my occupational feet wet in the nineties it was pretty much, "We're gonna pay you three dollars an hour and we require three piece suits at all times."
