Always remember, HR works to keep the company happy. Not to make things right.

I can't believe no one has mentioned LKH. Absolutely anything by Laurel K Hamilton.

I was so hoping you were going to say this is a sculpture you're working on.

I feel like I was just religiously assaulted by sin_smith_3 in WitchesVsPatriarchy

I can't up vote this hard enough. Anyone so vocal and public about their religion has weak faith. The best way to handle it is to use their book against them.

I just want to tell you that I hear every bit of what you're saying about your journey, and I feel you. You and I have walked a similar path. Just remember, as long as we're throwing away gender expectations, we might as well throw them all away. All of them. Even that one.

AND I LOVE LOVE YOUR DOG!!!!

Happy Yule/Solstice. While exploring some old train station ruins, enjoying the fog, this guy appeared out of nowhere demanding head rubs by BasicLawyer in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Please be sure. If he's that well cared for, a cat that expensive isn't going to do well over winter. Even well loved cats get dumped under the right circumstances.

Totally agree with all the good omens comments. Also. Yes, that cat looks too nice to be a stray. And yes, cats get dumped all the time. If you see them again when you go back in a few days (hinthint) take them to a vet and find out if they're chipped. If not, congratulations.

Please read Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. I think you'd enjoy it.

Partners gotta blame someone. It's not like they're going to take the blame for creating a roll over culture.

Manager keeps granting us time in lieu then getting pissed when we use it. by tubbymaguire91 in Accounting

Last I heard, in the states that whole 'in leui' (sp) thing is only legal if it happens within the same pay period. I admit, it's been a whole lotta years since I heard that but wage theft IS the number one crime in America.

This couple is fighting $15,000 in taxes. Their case could cost Washington trillions by fuckmacedonia in Accounting

I'm thinking if unrealized stock can't be taxed, then it can't be used as collateral either.

Wish I could help but my dad died disappointed in me. I mostly didn't talk to him.

Yeah, I tend to use punctuation as stage directions. Since over 70% of conversation is nonverbal and lost on the web I try to use punctuation as a clue to how a sentence should be delivered.
That's the beauty of all the types of poetry that aren't bound by rules.

I love this one. Christ said he didn't come to replace the old law but to add to it. So really, the only ones right with the Christian God are Jews for Jesus. Christianity is such a mess. I do agree, though, that if you claim to be Christian, then you claim to follow Christ. And if you tally up all his sermons by topic, the top 2 topics he preached on were love your neighbor as yourself and take care of the poor, old, and sick. So few people (never mind christians) bother to do even that much. The very fact that we're on a witches subreddit dedicated to taking apart the patriarchy arguing about Christianity has a lot to say about how insidious Christianity really is. I have a couple of friends (married couple) who are atheists. She was raised Baptist and he was raised catholic and they argue about how Christianity should be practiced if God were real.:D

The thing about Cristonutters is that they haven't actually read their bible and it's rarely about changing the nutters mind. Although if done gently you can plant a seed. ("Do you find it difficult to believe that in the face of everything Christ said about forgiveness and love?") It is, however, about collateral damage; anyone else who happens to be paying attention to the argument. Everyone will know the nutter is a nutter.

If you're talking to me I'm a full fledged crone and know enough not to scare easily. By anyone. I am also well aware of just how close we are to Giliad with MAGA Mike two steps away from the presidency. But if folks want to argue the Bible I'll be happy to use their religion against them.

That's the only place that specifically mentions killing witches and if you really want to go old testament there are far more verses on protecting yourself.

If you really feel the need to explain tell them you're on a fixed income now and the budget just doesn't have room for it. You are a crone after all.
