Might doesn’t make right, no, but what exactly do you think rule of law is when it doesn’t represent the will or the welfare of the people? The people you’re complaining about carried signs and disrupted traffic. The people who stopped them were armed and had the force of the law behind their actions.
I used to work at a company that did this. White collar, but we would often work stat days, and we were salary. So our PTO was x days vacation time, y days stat days, and z days sick days. Vacation time was the legally mandated or higher, stat days were the legally mandated, and then sick days were on top of that (no legally mandated paid sick days where I live). If you got sick a lot (and actually didn’t work anyway) you had less vacation time. If you didn’t get sick a lot, you had more vacation time. If you worked some stat days, you had even more vacation time. It worked for everybody and meant there was no reason to worry if people were actually sick when they took a sick day - it was just unplanned PTO.
If you get additional PTO to allow for sick days, I’m not sure why you’re complaining. That’s a perspective issue. If you don’t, I definitely get it.
Well, today just started and it’s already weird. I was reading some right-wing bullshit that basically boiled down to, “Elon didn’t do a Nazi salute because there’s no reasonable purpose for him to have done one.” Now I read this, talking about how it’s silly to rationalize superheroes. And both tie into the quote from Mark Twain the first topic made me think of, “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.”
Sorry, sorry. I didn’t read the username, but I still think the content of the post is worthwhile, if not the emotional tone, so I’ll leave it there.
That’s correct. You were the one talking about criminals in jail, which would be reserved for minor crimes/sentences or people awaiting trial (not that that precludes violence from other inmates). So which are you talking about?
The one thing I’m fairly certain of with women is they are never just “fine”. And if they say they’re “fine”, they most definitely are not.
So harming criminals is okay, got it. Shall we reinstate the age-old tradition of cutting off thieves’ hands? And you haven’t even addressed the difference between being charged with a crime and being convicted, both of which can land you in jail.
If his being too old to govern was the only problem, I’d be a lot happier.
I was going to post that you didn’t seem like you were trying very hard, on day 189, then I open the post and you prove me wrong.
It’s a positive acknowledgement with no emotional baggage. Do you want us using hearts for agreement instead?!
You can be XY and present as female. There’s a handy little chart in this article to give you an overview of some of the more common things that happen between being an XX woman and being an XY man.
Well, about half the states have one, so that is no guarantee, either.
There is a former billionaire in Florida who gave scholarships for everyone in a certain area who graduated. I can’t remember his name off the top of my head because he isn’t an attention-seeking asshole and I don’t see it every week.
I used to never understand my dad. Some tiny thing would happen and he would blow up. “How could you do something so stupid?” “All you had to do was this one little thing, and you blew it!” But something big would happen and he would shrug and say, " Well, these things happen. At least everyone’s okay."
Now that I’m older, I get it. Some things are so simple, there just isn’t an excuse to fuck them up. And when people do fuck it up, it’s mind blowing, because all you had to do was not fuck it up. Like a fucking Nazi salute. And if these guys are going to do something so stupid and easy to avoid as a Nazi salute, do you really think they have the capacity to understand the implications of the big things they’re trying to do, or see the ramifications of the tough choices ahead of them?
Do you think Adolf Hitler figured he’d be dead by his own hand within a decade of Kristallnacht?
You think they won’t dismiss more obvious things? Feel free to review Trump’s quote from after Khashoggi was murdered, which boils down to, “Sure, they may have killed him, but do you realize how much money they’re spending here?” That got barely a mutter. Just how much do you think it will take to get Americans upset with what he does?
I think Trump is the kind of person who thinks the world is better off ending with him than going on without him. Nothing matters if he isn’t there to enjoy it; the true heart of narcissism.
Note the title. “Oh, they’re not proper Nazis, they’re just trying to be proper Nazis.”
Ah, I got you now. At least that’s consistent.
The fact that one would be more fun than the other implies that equality (on that front) isn’t in the cards.
The rich people won’t have any better coverage, either. I know someone who had his daughter flown to the Mayo Clinic for mono. Yes, her case was very bad, yes, they were Canadian, no, that’s not an option that is available to the majority of us, and no, being part of America won’t appreciably improve their options more than that.
