It’s not inflation - it’s price gouging by corporations. Wages aren’t going up nearly as quickly as corporate profits.

Yeah, not very Welsh-sounding at all. On the other hand, dude was born in Wales to a Welsh father, so as long as he is focused on helping Wales and the Welsh people, that’s what matters.

The truth is irrelevant to Trump and his sycophantic MAGAts.

It would have been much more fitting to have the Israelis stay home and feature local members of the Jewish community and families of non-Jews who supported the community during the Nazi occupation.

Single word ratings? Well, I rate Ofsted as “useless.”

I think they mean “government crackdown disguised as spontaneous counter demonstrations.”

I’m not anti-Semitic but I’m definitely becoming extremely anti-Israel.

It lasted longer than I thought. Probably because it was a weekend and Elon was probably too busy sniffing his own farts.

I understand this. I was underemployed for a while, so I was doing tutoring American English online. Since I was working graves, my schedule meant I ended up with clients from SE Asia, China, Japan.

After a few months, I found better work and didn’t need to tutor as much. I cut my availability and was down to 2, then one.

The one I still tutor is a Filipina in nursing school. Most people, when they find that out, go straight to the “I’m a creep/She wants a green card” duality.

I get tired of explaining that she actually qualifies for permanent residency as soon as she gets her work visa. She doesn’t need me at all to come to the US to work.

There are plenty of legitimate organizations and agencies that help Filipino nurses get jobs and visas at minimal cost above the required fees.

She has mentioned that she’d prefer to live with me and would be open to a relationship with me, even though I am older…much older.

I leave that last bit out when talking to folks because it makes me sound like a creep. I totally get why people would think that.

On the other hand, an attractive, intelligent, hardworking, and fun younger woman is interested in me? It’s a challenge to say no to that.

You can still be a misogynistic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, bootlicking piece of shit as long as you use the correct names and pronouns.

Well considering they basically did just that with Instagram and WhatsApp, it wouldn’t be surprising if they did.

Depends on how you define smart. Knows many facts? Sure. Able to look at a puzzle and figure it out? Sure. But believing in an invisible Sky Daddy who may or may not talk directly or indirectly to people and getting your morals from books riddled with contradictions and things that are considered immoral and illegal isn’t smart.

Texas Tech? Checks out.

We are probably better off not knowing.

Probably the same folks who think that Xitter is better under Muskrats leadership.

As a fellow human, I enjoy being bipedal and metabolizing oxygen. Purchasing luxury products such as these Bose headphones is also an enjoyable human behavior.

Where I work, most positions do not require a background check so we have a mix of people (men, women, trans, nonbinary) with criminal convictions, including sex offenders.

The only thing that matters is their behavior in the workplace. You get fired because of attendance or poor performance.

The biggest problem people at my workplace are the people who try to make someones past an issue.

Also, your statement that you “highly doubt that changed him” is very telling. Basically it shows that you are the one with the problem. Unless you have firsthand knowledge then you are trying to justify your negative feelings.

Maybe this last time changed them. Maybe they got help. Maybe they’re in therapy and are trying to change.

This person and your employer are under no obligation to do what you want when there is no justification other than your own personal judgement.

Sinister and proud of it!

They really all need to go to Heaven now.

When we heard about this at lunch, my coworkers and I double-checked eBay and Craigslist to see if it was up for sale. We wanted it (and the transmitter which was also stolen) to set up our own pirate station.

It was not listed, sadly.
