I’m never ashamed of what books I read, especially since they are on a kindle and no one ever looks at the title. Besides, you’re just as likely to find LOTR, Dune, Foundations, pretty much anything from Dumas, among others on my kindle. If i’m reading books that are well written, have a decent plot and make me never want to put the book down, then who the fuck cares that I’m reading hunger games, harry potter or the golden compass… not any friend i’d want to keep.

Its the same with movies, though i find those less compelling overall. But damn if i’m not going to go see any new finding nemo or minions movie.

I have Levis 501 classics, from 1993 that I wear often. I’m tired of fashion dictating what i’m supposed to wear. Though, i do like me some dress chinos, BUT NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE COOL…. Damn comfy.

Let me fix that for you doc: Signs you shouldn’t eat at a restaurant because it’s likely unsafe, getting banned from entering because you’re wearing a mask.

And we see reason to hold those in power to a higher standard.

The number of people in jail/prison in the US because they didn’t’ know better, is staggering. So the standard is already in place. I see no issues with dumping the worst crooks out there, in prison for being ignorant.

I consider myself an Epicurist ever since I read about it some 30 years ago. Let me tell you it’s so much more than “freedom from pain”. It would be better summed up as “pursuit of pleasure” in the more archaic sense, which really means I enjoy the finer things in life and try to not concern myself with small trifles unless it comes at the cost of someone else. It’s really shaped my world view in life, brought about passions that I had no idea existed after a near death experience.

As a recently single guy with a very cute wing dog, I know this conversation well. Though, my pups has been fairly spot on with bad humans, so maybe there’s something there. 2 weeks back I took her on my 3rd date with this lady and my pupper low key growled at her. 8lbs Maltese who loves nearly every human she can lick… growled. I of course chastised her for the behavior, but she stayed clear of the lady all night.

2 dates later my lady friend was showing some red flags and I called it quits right then. The text I got after was toxic.

So listen to your dogs people.

I’d prefer a 70% tax on billionaires, but I’d settle for 50% for anything above 5million. Take Elon for example, the guy makes an estimated $50,000USD per minute. Yes folks, the guy makes more per minute than the average American does in a year.

prove to me that billionaires should exist. Tax them accordingly.

In what area of the USA do you live where the average american knows what a meter is. You’ll get some nonsense like “about 3 feet”, maybe.

Only when wells fargo is losing money. It’s still ok to be unethical when others are scammed, as long as WF is the one making money.

An appropriate response to this nonsense.

Ha, nope. But i see I’m not alone. There is hope dear people.

Sure, popover video of cute cats and turtles eating strawberries

Sounds like you are either not the target market or have no idea how to use LinkedIn. Properly used, you as a candidate have an arsenal of info you wouldn’t otherwise have, and the same for the company who can see your posts, your connections, your job history. It’s professional Facebook, all the grownups use it and it’s not just about connecting with people you don’t care about.

This is about building connections you can use later in life. Trust me, connect with that fuckwit John from sales, cause in 5 years he’ll be the guy that can connect you with the recruiter at the company you’ve applied with. You don’t need to like him or be best friends. This is business, not the playground.

The idea here is that ads will be unskippable, aka, you skip ahead 10-20 seconds but can’t. They’re will be controls that appear to catch this. If they incorporate ads and I can just fast forward, then who cares. This is google, they want to watch ads.

I’ll just write a greasemonkey script that detects unskippable time and mute audio. Let’s play this game google, fuckin I dare ya.

Yep. Though until California can pull pure water from salt water, Utah will stop water from coming in. Though in Colorado, we’ll just block it off before it gets there as we battle out our own red vs blue. Fuckem.

I can assure you the jan6 criminals thought they were fighting for the good of the planet. I heard nothing of the changes they “almost” made and how their innocence was going to win out. Coworkers are fuckheads, had zero clue.

It’s all about the story and how it’s told. They chose to believe, poorly.

I’m lucky enough to have a yard, but my dog knows when it’s past time to go for her walk and she’ll stare at me until I move. Morning walks right now mean I get up earlier, so she can have more sniff time.

When I travel with my pups, I use treats. She poops, gets treats. By the 3rd day, she’s heading straight to the same spot to poop real fast so she gets a treat. Give that a go.
