If anything, Biden Derangement Syndrome was absolutely a thing. MAGAts were so incredibly panicked about Biden when he was an entirely milquetoast, middle-of-the road Democrat. Do even they argue that Trump is just another Republican? I can’t see how anyone could.

I agree it’s completely reasonable if some people would prefer sex segregated gyms. Women too of course.

Right? Who even wants anybody to be king? It’s pathetic that their cosmology itself is a fucking monarchy.

A gym is the only place a Christian ever tried to recruit me for his Bible study group.

How prevalent do you think people think it Is? I think people think it is way more common than you think people think it is.

I’m wondering what happens to all the shipping once the Oakland port is paved.
- Comment on Return to office propaganda floating around LinkedIn 1 week ago:
I’m sure there is a little truth to it sometimes but one big thing this ignores is that many of us have always had remote coworkers because our employer has multiple offices in different cities, countries, and continents around the world. I’m not worried about someone who’s in the office with my boss passing me by because that’s a tiny minority of everyone we work with anyway.
Interestingly, this is also why WFH has held up at the company where I work. Even when you go in to the office, you spend half the day on zoom. Our company has consolidated floors, closed whole offices and entire campuses to reduce the amount of real estate it pays to maintain. There’s a lot of savings in it for them. And our CEO has said that he likes how remote work makes it trivial to get the entire leadership team together for a conversation because they aren’t all flying around the world constantly, inaccessible for days at a time because they’re traveling. They do make in person visits, but don’t live on planes like they used to. They also did the math and they exceeded their 10 year goal for climate reduction overnight just by going to remote.
There are so many benefits for the company as well as the employees that I’m really confused why some companies go all RTO. Probably they just don’t have good systems in place to know who’s doing their job. We do.

Huh. Throw out the cheating angle and what you have is a restaurant business development plan for 5 or 6 ladies you know who’d like to eat for free every night. I guess the bill comes due when they need to shake the dude loose at the end of the night and then deal with his phone calls for weeks or worse.

Often the people who have the absolute least contact with LGBT people (or none at alol) are the ones who complaint the loudest. We all piss and moan about the people who actually know, but you can only hate and fear the unknown this much.

no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined
I’m not a fan of this no-freewill interpretation, but it’s a hell of about clearer than Christian doctrine.

good 'ol christians have a duty to go shove their shit down as many throats as possible to ‘save’ them.
Yyyyyyep.
My favorite was when I (white guy) lived in a neighborhood with a lot of majority-black churches, ladies would walk around on Sunday afternoons knocking on doors to “spread the news.” However, the second they saw me their faces would fall and they’d make a quick exit after a minimal pitch. It was obvious they belonged to a were trying to recruit from the black community and my soul was not a priority to them. I’m sure it happens the other way around as well. Nothing against black people here.
- Comment on i wonder what goes through men's minds in this situation 3 weeks ago:
Oh… there are some clothing optional situations in life and for the most part nudity gets very normal very fast but there can be moments when an attractive woman is conspicuously putting her attractive self on parade and just daring you to notice. It’s like a clip from some mating dance on the nature channel somehow pasted onto humans.

High replication and changeability to adapt to circumstances. From molecules to lifeforms to cultures. It’s all the same process.

Indeed - as a writer I find holy texts fascinating for their endurance through viral properties. It seems important for them to speak at once with ultimate authority but also a lot of vagueness to keep the messages versatile for as many situations as possible and as unfalsifiable as possible.
They are the equivalent of a radioactive meteor that lands on an unwitting planet and spreads a plague.

Sony killed active development on Destiny 2 but said the servers would stay up. Destiny 1 remains playable a decade later. But you have to wonder for how long? Would they be subject to any consequences if they took them down? I have to believe the TOS protects them up and down.

Right? What kind of union isn’t benefiting their members to the tune of $700 a year? Especially one that’s charging those kinds of dues should well be able to.

Next month they’re going to enact the Boston Tea Party but since crates of British tea are somewhat hard to obtain, they’re just going to fling plastic packets of instant coffee into Boston Harbor and shout “have your tea back, you jackanapes!”

Fuck. I had to calculate 4% of 7 a few minutes ago and didn’t know this. I say fuck because it wouldn’t have helped me anyway.

Caches of dihydrogen-oxide were discovered, a chemical which if inhaled can asphyxiate and cause death. The chemical was cleverly disguised with sweeteners and packed in containers making it look like a harmless treat.

What definition of “Nazi” are we working with here? I assume it’s a set of beliefs and not Germany’s Nazi party from WW2. So what are these beliefs? Genuine question.
