The tick-tock sound annoys the driver. Dated two women in a row who did this and both had “repetitive noise disorder”, misophonia. My wife has a sort of thing like that were she can’t stand the rhythm or noise of the wipers.
I completely made up “repetitive noise disorder” years ago on reddit. Now Google AI returns it as a legit result. Am I famous now?!
Russians not being born is even better than dead Russians on the front lines. I’m all about this!
He’s not a judge. We works for the DoJ reviewing immigration cases. No idea why anyone is calling him that, but it seems everyone is doing so. Fucking weird.
Not even close to true. Employers live in fear of an employee call to the state labor board. If an employee is accusing the employer, the onus of proof is on the employer. Guilty until proven innocent.
Problem is, no one seems to know this, let alone take action. Look at your post for example, acting like this a federal matter that the employee must pursue with an attorney.
Anyone notice how you’re required to sign or otherwise approve your hours? That’s why. Don’t sign if it isn’t true.
SOURCE: Worked 5 years for a payroll firm with 250 employers. Only had a couple of employees call in the labor board, and those employers where shitting kittens.
As to attorneys, I’ll once again stump for legal insurance. $26/mo. and you can call for advice all you like. “Real” cases like a divorce or a lawsuit are 25% off. I saved more on my divorce and child custody than I will ever pay in. Speaking of, the state is fucking me on child support, literally taking half my check. Half. Made a call, need to give the lawyer some docs, they’ll handle it.
And that kids is the major difference between rich and poor, legal representation.
I’ll say it again, CEO pay ain’t the problem. Did the math once for American Airlines, then McDonald’s just lately. If the CEO took $0 pay, and that was spread among total employees, it amounts to chicken change.
Hell, let’s take aim at Microsoft, why not.
In fiscal year 2024, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s total compensation was $79.1 million. This represents a 63% increase compared to his prior year’s compensation of $48.5 million.
And most of that was stock, not cash.
The increase is primarily due to a significant rise in the value of his stock awards, which accounted for the majority of his compensation.
They have 228,000 employees. Spread that around and it amounts to a $347 yearly bonus. (Or, $.17/hr. if you like.) If I worked at M$, I’d be fucking insulted if that was my Christmas Bonus. Hell, my last job was at a tiny software dev and we all got 10x that much, sometimes more.
I voted in the Florida special election for our 1st district rep, knew damned well she’d lose. But here’s the important bit, she didn’t lose as badly as expected. And the other race was a good bit closer than expected.
We can call people like MTG an idiot, but even an idiot can look at an Excel sheet and see slippage. So yes, vote, even for a certain loser. They are paying attention.
It’s only 1’ long?!
Or John Wick 3.
Can’t get my head around this, especially after Somali pirates became a thing, article didn’t help. If armed men are trying to board my ship, I’m shooting back. These men didn’t sign up to be soldiers, but self-defense is not only a human right, it’s common sense. You have no idea what those pirates will do to you. Couple of dudes with scoped AR-15s would make short work of these jokers, just lead 'em a little. For that matter, equip them with real hunting rifles.
Take a look at the article picture. Those guys would be lucky to hit any damned thing with that tiny boat skipping over ocean waves. Try running and gunning, even with airsoft. No matter what you have to pause to shoot and these ships can’t pause. Meanwhile, the defenders have the high ground and a perfectly stable platform. And it’s not like the pirates can get the drop on ship’s radar.
What am I missing here?
I so miss the Radio Shack of my youth. Back in the 70s and 80s they had real salesmen, in ties and everything. Those guys knew everything! Or, at least they did to my young mind. It was a real job for people who loved electronics and knew the space. Now it’s bored teenagers trying to sell you a phone and overpriced RC crap.
They had a huge catalog I’d wear out every year, literally in taped-up tatters, lusting over all the goodies, even the parts I was clueless about. (Fuck is an RF choke?! I want one.) I’d count and roll pennies, constantly referencing prices and dad to buy me a switch, LED, lamp, circuit board, anything at all. My first big purchase was a Realistic CD player. You could drop kick that thing and if it skipped at all, it would resume perfectly.
Sinners has black characters?! FFS, it’s set in 1930s Mississippi, there weren’t, and still aren’t, any black people there!
This will work out great in Florida. We were already losing tourism over our conservative bullshit, now this.
Vandalism makes the news, especially around here. As a proportion of the total number of Teslas, vandalism is minuscule.
Even their text goes against the headline:
Therefore, it’s likely that the increased instances of vandalism against Tesla vehicles had an impact on these results, but it’s likely that higher repair costs are having a bigger impact.
“LOL! Die in a fire keyboard warrior!”
Been saying for years, yes, death might be how it works out if you fight back. Always been that way. Death, or worse, is the non-fighting option. The US government is currently training me to die with my boots on.
Can’t talk about it ATM, but I had a fascist in my sights, charging me. Went inside to gather self-defense options, he wussed out and went back home. Florida is a “stand your ground” state.
He called the cops on me. Booted thugs, three cars, four pigs, dressed head-to-toe in Hugo Boss black, showed up in my driveway. Refused to talk to them. Got threatened with jail if I didn’t waive my 5th amendment right and tell my side of the story. Didn’t talk. Am free.
And here’s a lesson I hope anyone reading this takes to fucking heart, “He who calls 911 first, wins.” Does not matter. Victim or aggressor, call 911 first.
This is a good one. Matt Gaetz came out for something to do with childcare costs or maternity leave, I forget, but I was stunned.
Is Captain Phillips (2013) old yet? I’m sobbing at the end.
And got jacked as well! Meanwhile Musk is embracing the fat middle-aged guy thing.
You’re probably thinking of apostasy. You can be any religion, but if you’re Islamic and renounce it, capital offense.

If someone says they eschew “wifi”, I assume they have internet, just no wireless in the home.
Have we gone so low-tech in our vocabulary that “wifi” now means “internet”?! Those are separate things, not a picky distinction.
