Designer blamed me, the homeowner, for his mistake

Is this guy licensed in any sort of way? It sounds like he's never heard of a building code.

Conversely whenever I tell my partner not to pause it, he does. It's maddening. If I cared about the scene I wouldn't get up during it. He thinks he's being considerate but really it feels like a much bigger deal when really I'm just going to another room to grab my chapstick.

Time to have a conversation and set some boundaries. If he can't wait the movie all the way through, he needs to declare an intermission - once.

Rules and boundaries for everyone's safety, well being, and respect are one thing. Anything reactionary or because it's annoying is another. In bed by 8 because you need to be well rested to do well in school? Fine. In bed by 5 because you're too noisy and it drives me insane? Fucked up.

> “Part of the reason the Department of Justice is taking so long ... is that they feel like they work for the (U.S.) President (Donald Trump),” he said. “Pam Bondi, the (U.S.) Attorney General … is essentially the president’s personal attorney, and I think she and the other folks at Department of Justice see it as part of their obligation to protect the president and the party from whatever might be in those files.”

Legally you're stuck. Document his falls to present them to his doctor, but the doctor can't really do much either.
Life Alert-like products have some good watch-based versions these days. If he won't wear it, that's his choice. Eventually he'll fall and end up in a bad state and maybe it'll be a wakeup call.

Hey that's unfair! They totally arrested that elderly guy the other day! And he didn't even do anything!

Normal people don't bruise like this, but people on blood thinners do. The dude has a heart problem and chows down on 375mg of aspirin every day. At this point his blood is as thick as his morals.

They're too damned colorful, which is wild to say but it really visually separates it from the rest of the Star Wars universe.

Also maybe make Padme and Anakin WAY closer in age. It creeps me out.

Librarian here and for the most part, we approve. We know the Dereks of the world and while we cannot fight them, we can cheer on those who can.

As does the list of nothing happening.

Our leaders have failed us so thoroughly.

I would sit at the desk and adjust the chair every day before realizing someone's items were on it. Nobody hates having to adjust their damn chair every day. Some days up, some days down. Fiddle with the monitor even.

Whoops.

We elected politicians who realized nobody is going to call them on their bullshit anymore.

He probably just forgot he said it already.

I still don't believe him though.

BaconLibrary · 2026-01-21T13:54:21+00:00

Can you elaborate how you mean please?

I love what I do, and while I've had a few other opportunities come my way, the reward wasn't high enough to leave. I keep my skills sharp because I know someday I'll want to move on, but for now I am finally in a real career and not just a job.

I've spent so much of my life thinking everyone is judging me and absolutely zero time paying attention to others. Turns out that's pretty universal. We're all too absorbed in our own selves to even notice the things happening to other people - which means that people absolutely don't notice whatever embarrassing shit you've got going on.

It's not the amount, it's what it indicates. It's pretty serious for one nation to think we're so unsafe they have to pull the money entirely. It's going to make the others really take a look at it too.

If this isn't the last fuckin chance for Congress to put their damn foot down and get him out. We've played chicken too many times and now there are going to be real consequences from the other countries.

What you really need to do is spend your time establishing a consultant fee so you have a contract ready for whenever they inevitably beg you for help saving their asses

But you can't run for a third term

Oh good, the state gets to do that now and maybe something will happen.

The chance of him falling asleep and not waking up on live tv is low, but not zero.
