He doesn’t “feel” any of this except in the ego, and the ego would hurt more if he admitted he was wrong. He can private jet around all day and not run out of money for the rest of his life. Maybe it delays his plans to be able to more fully buy people, but that’s not a feeling I’m curious to feel.
Yes. The whole thing is a sham, deliberately. They’re trying tomqake an impeachment seem ridiculous and frivolous, to make the impeachment against Trump seem like a non-issue.
Remember, these are modern-day politicians. They’re no longer interested in the truth. Only optics.
More like intentionally dragging your team down and making your teammates pick up your slack until management has gone through all the written warning steps required to fire your ass.
Not true. If terminated for performance concerns, most companies would consider that “for cause” meaning that you would be ineligible for severance. The only costs are the OpEx of the manager and HR team member’s time in addition to the “lost productivity” that your underperformance caused.
It’s either do the intended job, but nothing extra, which I think is just normal work, or don’t even try to do the job properly, do as little as possible while staying unnoticed to avoid getting fired.
The name implies the latter, but that’s not how all people use it.
Which is actually a perfectly good way to approach work, but even the hustle-is-virtue people who think workers should constantly be overperforming will have a hard time justifying it when the company has specifically said high-performance cannot yield a promotion.
They threatened the same with Seattle and surprise surprise they’re still here. They did pass the entire fee onto the consumer though, which sucks ass but at least gig workers are being paid.
It just means you’re guaranteed a single $15.57 drive per hour if you haven’t had one the entire hour. That’s unlikely so it’ll probably be split up making it a little more expensive.
They did the same thing for UberEats in NYC. “New York Courier Fee” of $2 on every order with the explainer text “Due to new requirements put in place by the City of New York, workers are guaranteed a minimum hourly pay rate while they are delivering orders to customers. Customers will now see an additional fee on all delivery orders to help cover this pay rate. Tipping remains optional.”
US cops really have stored up an incredible amount of badwill, haven’t they? Now, I can’t help but see Nolan’s Batman film (whichever the one is with cops in tunnels), Brooklyn 99 and others as straight up copaganda. Just zero sympathy. The balance will shift at some point, it has to.
The final season was less humorous about it. But even in the earlier seasons, the vast majority of cops outside of the 99 are incompetent, corrupt, or both. Comparatively, Wuntch is one of the least bad in the force.
A cop in my area shot his car with a suspect in it multiple times because an acorn gave him spookies. Also, cops here are widely known to be corrupt and shitty. I’ll just keep on assuming they are incompetent and useless.
How do you constantly and consistently have the most stupid takes on this platform, harderian? I can count on my fingers how many times you made a comment that wasn’t mind bogglingly braindead and/or blatantly wrong. Sheesh.
I had no hatred of police until I worked with/around them for the better part of a decade. Used to go around to different places training them on a new methodology of data entry, and had them come to us after out department got the space. Trained hundreds of departments of all types of cops, trained hundreds of different facilities of COs. Not a single time, in the 1-3 day training periods, did I come away without hearing them brag about, or do, some awful shit. After the 50th or so department, where police fist bumped, and cajoled each other over violating people’s rights, I just couldn’t stand them anymore. They will sit around bouncing ways of violating people’s rights that will still provide them the protection of immunity. They trade pointers on the best ways to trump up charges against people they know aren’t breaking the law, but they don’t like. The moment the room was all male, or all the x minority was out of ear shot, the bigotry came out. At first I tried reporting it. Got told that since I am a white dude they didn’t think I was gonna care, and if I pushed this issue it was only going to be bad for me.
This stuff affects their personal lives too. It is very common for cops to slowly lose anyone out of their life that isn’t a cop, or directly related to one. They hang out in bars where they have driven off pretty much everyone but other cops, their social events tend to be nothing but other cops and their families. There are whole subdivisions of domestic violence professionals that deal only with the families of police. They isolate themselves with their behavior and then blame everyone else for hating cops. Meanwhile many of the people who stopped hanging around them will tell you it’s because they are paranoid, bigoted, and quick to anger, if not violence.
They also drastically over value the rarest dangers of their jobs. Spend enough time around police and you will hear about how many of them are ambushed and murdered. That is very rare, and most often the result of the cops doing something shady with their position. You very rarely hear them mention how driving all the time, and the recklessness of driving in emergency situations, is actually what kills them most often. While it was starting to gain some traction in the latter days of me working in the justice industry, they also rarely discussed how sitting all day, alone, in their car, caused a myriad of health issues, namely heart disease and other obesity/sedentary related illnesses. No, not worth talking about much if they can’t make themselves the victim.
Most depictions of LE in action movies are copoganda. I mean, shit: the Dirty Harry/ Legal Weapon trope of cops needing to sidestep the rules is so fucked when you think about it
3rd Batman movie, the one that made even less sense than a superhero movie normally makes.
The entire plan depends on a fusion reactor acting like a fission bomb that Bane didn’t even know was down there, Blackgate being moved within city limits after the events of the second movie for no clear reason, and a letter that again no one knew existed while the plan was being carried out.
Also if he broke Batman’s back why not just kill him? Why give him a chance to escape?
He has a TV showing him Gotham news or some shit. idc what happens in the comic. I’m not defending the movie just telling you what I remember from watching this movie like 10 years ago. There’s a lot of stupid shit in the movie but it’s made abundantly clear why he’s alive and in prison.
Is that why cops have no legal requirements to protect and serve, or even save civilians from criminals? Or why they can murder civilians without consequences?
Everybody getting a gun was the problem. Now you got paranoid, trigger-happy police who get to keep their pensions after murdering an actual child, and people like you promoting both.
Yeah, if your house gets invaded, you better hope you are in a low population area, and the cops happen to be close to your house, or you will wait at least 20 minutes for them to show. You will have been robbed, or worse, before any police can get to the scene under most conditions.
Okay, I thought the conspiracy theories were kinda silly at first. But now, even though I don't care about Kate Middleton or any of the royal family, I gotta admit I'm kinda curious now.
There is nothing to the conspiracy theories, she’s had abdominal surgery and wants to keep her health problems private. The UK press are intrusive and horrible, and the social media conspiracy theories are just gossiping.
There are plenty of operations that would need a couple weeks of hospital recovery and about 6 weeks recovery at hone (Easter is only the end of March). People speculating are ignorant about basic medical matters and can’t let someone have their privacy. There is no conspiracy.
Is it really that difficult to just not post a picture then? I mean, I’ve managed to go 40 years without posting any pictures to social media, and I’m not even a princess.
You can’t believe that a fertilized egg is a human being and also do IVF. Because typically 15 harvested eggs will lead to 12 fertilized eggs will end up with a few viable eggs which will end up with one pregnancy (if you’re lucky). That’s 11 murdered “children” by their definition.
I stopped eating breakfast most days. Don’t need it. I rarely eat cereal when I do. And I used eat cereal so much when I was younger. Then I realized even the “healthy” cereal is not good for you. Just sugar disguised as something else.
You can get unsweetened bran flakes, those are a great source of fiber and added vitamins. They suck, because they’re unsweetened bran flakes, but healthy cereal does exist.
I’ve stopped eating breakfast, lunch, and most days dinner too! Gosh end stage capitalism is fun when for meals I just keep convincing my body that no, you aren’t actually hungry as I drink more water.
I stopped eating breakfast not really to save money, but to extend my fasting for health benefits. I too skip most lunches. Autophagy can repair damage the human body goes through.
We really don’t need to eat as much as we were programmed into thinking we do. Going from low-carb/keto to OMAD (one meal a day) made it easier to do.
Breakfast being the most important meal of the day was an ad campaign. Same with Milk doing a body good. It’s all corporate nonsense.
I’m a child of the 90s. My parents believed that so hard. I had to have a large glass of milk every night with dinner, and couldn’t leave the table until it was gone. I’m also lactose intolerant. I have many memories of crying in pain in the bathroom :)
In high school my girlfriend’s family had a milk fridge in the garage. A whole fridge full of gallons of whole milk. They went through over a gallon a day between her parents and 2 siblings. They bought into the propaganda hard.
I think there are some studies around, where people eating breakfast have an easier time to control their weight. They let them eat the same calories on a day and the breakfast group didn’t take on weight. I think that might be because the breakfast group had higher energy levels and therefore also expended more energy by movement before lunch.
Suuuuper weird. I’m willing to bet that they will settle for substandard teachers to fill the void. Teachers who will be okay with not teaching “challenging” topics like equal rights and evolution
This is disingenuous. They don’t just step off the battlefield into teaching.
You have to be a veteran, spent 2 years at college(no degree), and also pass a 4-hour ‘Florida Subject Area Test’ with a score of at least 71% in each subject they plan to teach.
I have to assume you are being sarcastic but in case you are not (no /s):
That is not much better. The first couple years of college are pretty basic courses that do not help someone know how to teach. Getting a C- on a test in a subject does not really instill confidence that they know the subject well…and can teach. Just because you know a subject does not mean you know shit about teaching.
Believe me Florida does not make it easy to be a teacher and Ron Desantis’s policies have a lot to do with this.
But the primary factor is pay. Teachers are laughably under paid in Fl. My sister has been teaching for 15 years makes little more than she did when she started. Most of the teachers my two older kids had in their elementary school have left for better paying careers. The number of teachers moving into the profession is not enough to compensate for retiring older teachers and the loss of teachers to other professions.
It’s simple supply and demand. Pay your fucking people and they will stay.
Texas is going to be in the same boat. I know of two other teachers from the high school I teach at doing the same thing I’m doing and leaving the state this summer.
Indiana is facing a teacher drain as well, in part because we pay our teachers terribly. My daughter had a shitty substitute teacher for all of fifth grade. She had no idea how to do things. I had to raise hell about some of the things she did (like punish my daughter for not saying the pledge of allegiance) and my daughter only told me about some of them later (she pushed Trump’s Big Lie on the kids).
And she’s had teachers who aren’t much better in terms of skill.
Edit: Even that so-called teacher quit public school at the end of the year to, appropriately, go work in a Christian private school.
