So we're bragging about shitty prison conditions?

I guess cruelty truly is the point.

Honestly this is insane to me given the Trump crowd skews much older.

Literally the generation growing up in the Cold War, having evil Soviets ingrained in them from childhood, and now Russia being happy with our policies doesn't raise a red flag for them? Our President being pals with the ex-KGB Putin doesn't mean anything to them? Hello??

I keep staring and still have no idea what it's trying to tell me

Imagine the outrage if a world leader gifted another leader a golden model airplane after 9/11.

Insanity.

Did basic digging, no idea where the tweet's numbers come from.

Ford CEO Jim Farley received ~$21mil in total compensation in 2022, mostly in stock awards. Source

Average salary of Ford employee: ~$67k a year, derived from $37k in the bottom 10th percentile and $120k in the top 90th. Source

Which gives a ratio more like 313 to 1.

Well this fucking sucks, I liked Sticker Mule. My wife illustrates and gets stickers printed by them, and they'll send goodies in the box with it (like their hot sauce, which is also pretty good).

I'm all for a business taking a stance of "against violence", but I didn't know they were so pro-Trump. Personally I have mixed feelings because I don't want to open this Pandora's Box of more and more violence, particularly in public places. But I also can't pretend that we'd be better off with Trump gone. We'd at least have the GOP stop pretending that he had the best ideas.

Excerpt from the History channel:

So much static electricity built up between the ground and airborne dust that blue flames leaped from barbed wire fences and well-wishers shaking hands could generate a spark so powerful it could knock them to the ground. Since static electricity could short out engines and car radios, motorists driving through dust storms dragged chains from behind their automobiles to ground their cars.

Displaying images of 9/11 to new yorkers is pretty savage.

It's for teenage suicide prevention. Which makes the sex thing worse.

It's pretty common to form an LLC for your own, self run business even at one person. The business makes all the money, you pay your "employee" (you) a small amount and you save on taxes. Wife does this, her employee paycheck is like $25k/year.

If you ever have a friend who's not doing this, tell them to get a good accountant lol

I'm inclined to agree

Saying that Bernie is garbage because he didn't dismantle the two party system seems a bit extreme. He actually has joined third parties but they didn't take off. He's also definitely anti-capitalist.

We confirmed today that our 13yo girl has a tumor on her spleen. Generally they pass quickly, as in you'll walk into a room and they passed away.

We love you Bella, you may have 2 brain cells but you're the best baby.

Honestly they could've secured the body to one of the flight staff seats. If there's no extra, the flight attendant could sit next to a passenger.

If you also consider the weather and politics, I would still much rather live in Paris.

Hey, I work with contact centers!

It's such a niche tech space. To play a bit of devil's advocate, a properly designed IVR will have "DTMF clamping" which veils the dial tones (the same ones you hear your phone play when dialing a number, did you ever notice the tones are unique?). The IVR should also disable logging completely. When on a call, they should be disabling call recording.

This is part of a process called PCI compliance, and it's fucking huge, because the penalties for it are insane, tens of thousands of dollars per month, plus extra for each incident of non-compliance. Some companies do transactions in the millions, at a $50 fine a pop. British Airways was fined $229 million back in 2017 for exposing data.

So really, companies are always going to do their due diligence to make sure your financial data is safe. It's too expensive not to.

Me: surely this isn't real

quick search

Oh fuck me

The short answer is the game wasn't balanced around it.

I feel like Rogues (sneak attack) and Wizards (spell sculpting) in particular could abuse this heavily. Also any class that gets their subclass at level 1 or 2.

Holy crap she really did.
