FlyingSquid , in Salem hikes tour guide fee by 3,000% after surge of witch-enthusiasts flood town

They killed fewer witches in Hartford, Connecticut, but you probably will pay less for the “we only murdered one woman for witchcraft here” tour.

Only one trial in Philadelphia, and thanks to Billy Penn she was acquitted. Shame, could have had all those tourist dollars; the bell ain’t cutting it!

VelvetStorm , in Airport security missed live ammo in tourists’ hand luggage. The TSA doesn’t know how

Just a few months ago, my wife and I went on vacation, and she had my mushroom hunting knife with like a 4 or 5-inch blade on it in her purse. The purse went through scanners and everything and no one said a fucking thing. Didn’t realize we had the knife until we were on the plane in the air, and she went to get gum out.

Yet when I was bringing some fudge home for family, I got hassled on it being too much…

We got harassed because we brought a bag of goldfish for the kiddo. Dude actually dug through the bag.

These queer farmers

“Got a nice lookin’ crop o’ queer this year, Merle.”

“Yep, plus we got 12 acres o’ weird in the back 40.”

Hell I put 60 dicks in the dirt last Tuesday and the got damn cum beetles eat em up already. Make me so mad, I could spit stead of swaller

I feel like the smartest thing for a corporation to do when asked about DEI is just to be like “in this economy, we’re focused on the fundamentals of our business”.

Like it or not, DEI is a huge culture war issue. Unless your customer base is almost exclusively on one side, you’re gonna end up alienating a huge portion of them.

Plus it’s not like you get some huge benefit from pushing DEI anyway. The people who like DEI have mostly realized that 99/100 times when a company says they are doing DEI it’s a cynical ploy. That McKinsey study that was supposed to prove DEI is better for business performance has been largely debunked. ESG funds are in full retreat, with many of them struggling to justify their own existence.

If Tractor Supply respectfully demurred when asked to implement DEI in the first place, I’m sure the outrage would be virtually non-existent. Instead they’re in this bud light situation where they’re at risk of alienating both liberals and conservatives.

Source on McKinsey’s research being debunked?

This article basically says correlation isn’t causation. It doesn’t mean DEI is bad for business. The article also doesn’t definitively say McKinsey is wrong. Like I said, it’s just saying that you can’t cause profits by forcing diversity (correlation not causation).

The issue is that you can’t change a corporate culture just by making one hire and naming them VP of DEI. Cultural change takes years (and is the subject of a nauseating amount of HBR articles, which illustrates how many companies fail at cultural change).

Lol why do I ever bother. The only reason people like you ask for sources is so you can nitpick them.

You made a claim. Your source did not support it. Sorry

PotatoesFall , in Salem hikes tour guide fee by 3,000% after surge of witch-enthusiasts flood town

incredibly misleading title. The fees for the annual license to be a tour guide went from $10 to $350. This will not cause a 3500% increase on the price of guided tours, as I’m sure a tour guide can make $350 in a tour or two.

JeeBaiChow , in Trump asks judge to gut classified documents case after immunity ruling

He was no longer president. How is this an official act?

Heikki ,
  1. He may try to argue he took them while he was president, and therefore, no charges can be filed. Actions and motives while the president can not be looked at either.
  2. In the immunity ruling, “Just Us” CT added a note he thought Jack Smiths appointment was illegitimate. This means that if she tosses the entire case, it will inevitably get to the SCOTUS where there is at least 1 friendly judge that would let him off. Judging by the 6-3 ruling, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were actually 6 judges.

I am sure Jack Smith can argue all the other crimes of keeping, obstructing, and distributing the documents to those with out security clerence is still a crime but it’s if the question of his legitimacy if the reason. I think the SCTUS will agree with Cannon over the actual law for some BS reasons the founding fathers are believed to have said along time ago.

eramseth ,

For what it’s worth, it’s really hard to read this post (which you seem to have put some actual effort into) because you’re writing it with odd abbreviations and slang. I know you’re trying to be edgy or something but when you have something worthwhile to say, it’s best to communicate it in a way that the majority of people who run across it can understand, rather than wrap it in what effectively amounts to lingo and jargon.

Natanael ,

It would force them to drop evidence about his state of mind when he took the documents. They would essentially be unable to argue anything at all about how they ended up there. The case would then ONLY be about him not returning them later on request, with no other context available for the ruling

Don’t they have proof of him having them moved after the fact to try and hide he had them?

orcrist , in Washington Post: Sen. Mark Warner Forming a Group Of Democratic Senators To Call On Biden To Drop Out

The timing is so cringe. They all knew how old he was a year ago. Now, after one sad event, the sky is falling? Come on now. Quit grandstanding, my guys.

rozodru , in Disney heiress, wealthy Democratic donors say they won't finance the party until Joe Biden drops out

Too late. Guy could literally peel over next week and they’d be screwed. He should have never agreed to or have been allowed to run a second term and IF he does get elected for a second term I guarantee you he doesn’t survive it. not from some nafarious plot or what have you but simply due to…well…look at him.

But I got no dog in this fight. I’m in Canada. and although my elderly parents live in the US and I do worry about them with this election there’s nothing I can do. It’s like watching an oncoming ship wreck and you’re just screaming at the passangers (US citizens) to get off the boat, get on the life boats, save themselves while you stand on land not being able to do anything but watch. I imagine the rest of the world feels the same way.

I mean i’m worried for you guys, like truly worried.
