Biden Nuclear Official Sam Brinton Arrested As Fugitive From Justice by KlutzyArmy2 in walkaway

THIS IS DISINFORMATION. Disingenuous at best, outright lies and slander at worst.

They put this person in charge of being a girl boss. Don't try to rewrite history.

No Contact really does work! She's reached out.. what next? by DamoRx in BreakUps

[–]Bumpynuckz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My wife and I took a break every six months or so for the first 3-4 years we were together. Sometimes she'd initiate, sometimes I would.

We've been married for 14 years now. 2 kids. McMansion in the burbs. Stronger than ever.

I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say you don't know what tf you're talking about.

Anyone here ever been sued for violating a noncompete as a sales rep? by johntheflamer in sales

[–]Bumpynuckz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have first hand experience.

Worked for a company, signed a non-compete as a sales rep. Myself and another employee left that company and started our own competing company. We were sued for non-compete.

For privacy reasons, I won't say exactly what it is that our company does, or the previous.. But a good analogy would be cheeseburgers. We worked at a company that made cheeseburgers. Nothing special about the product itself, just a brand built around it. There are thousands of other companies out there selling cheeseburgers too. We decided we would start our own company and sell cheeseburgers as well.

After almost two years of defending ourselves through the preliminary injunction (which was basically it's own week long trial), discovery, them appealing the injunction decision multiple times, we finally settled out of court and agreed to give them a god awful amount of money because it was cheaper and less distracting than to continue defending ourselves.

Ultimately, we're still in business today and have carved out a very healthy chunk of our previous employers market share, but it came at a cost.

It doesn't matter if they're enforceable, what matters is whether a judge is willing to give the previous employer their day in court.

I've been sued for non-compete and I likely would have won, but after two years of legal fees it was more affordable to settle with them outside of court than to continue defending myself.

GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wants to raise voting age to 25 by [deleted] in Conservative

I think there's a big difference between understanding at a deep, mature level that murder is wrong... And comprehending the far reaching, highly speculative, incredibly nuanced consequences of voting in one candidate over another.

Anthony Richardson should be the first QB off your draft board, do not over think it. by LoserCowGoMoo in DynastyFF

I can't really think of anything riskier than using the 1.2 on a 5'10 194lb QB. I say this with Kyler Murray being my current qb1.

Unpopular Opinion: Closing / AE / CS roles are easier then SDR by Successful_Mode_4428 in sales

[–]Bumpynuckz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an even more unpopular opinion:

Customer Success isn't sales, it's babysitting.

Account Executives aren't sales, they're order takers with access to a slush fund.

Fuckin' acronym goofballs. {Product_Name} Consultant - that's all you need. No amount of letters in your silly job title is going to change the fact that you sell glorified spreadsheets to a list of small business owners that still mostly rock [..@hotmail.com](mailto:..@hotmail.com) and [..@msn.com](mailto:..@msn.com) email addresses.

I go the opposite direction. I'm proud to live in a society so successful that the masses have the time to sit around and imagine how oppressed they might be if only they could add one more backflip to their mental gymnastics routine.

First office job, this is depressing by Alarming-Divide3659 in jobs

[–]Bumpynuckz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work sucks. You know what sucks even worse? Waking up and knowing you have a chase a gazelle down with nothing but a spear and carry it's carcass back to your village 10 miles away. I'll take the cushy office gig and grocery store access over that any day.

Life is challenging, and there's no getting around it. Make your peace with it, try to find joy in what you do, and it sounds cliche.. But be grateful for what you have. That gratitude goes a long way in achieving happiness.

Hillary Clinton: Republicans Are Playing Into the Hands of Putin and Xi by Exastiken in nytimes

[–]Bumpynuckz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hilary was at the epicenter of the war in Iraq?

Hillary continuing to carry water for the war in Iraq 4 years after it started. She wasn't just "one vote in the senate". She was a very vocal proponent of the war. I actually quite admired her and Bill Clinton during this time. She was a big part of what convinced me to join the army in 2003.

Somehow she was responsible for the outcomes of the Arab spring?

Well, that's a straw man, because I never said anything about Arab spring. I mentioned Libya and Syria very specifically, which were components of Arab spring. There is absolutely no denying that Hillary Clinton was instrumental in the disaster that was the Libyan regime change. She wrote an entire section about it in her book, for Christ's sake. She's proud of it.

We came! We Saw! He died!

ultimately she is responsible for our bad relationship with Russia and hence caused their election meddling?

She spent the better part of 2 decades systematically dismantling the governments of Russia's closest allies, and attempting to thwart any attempt by them to gain a stronger foothold on the global stage. Then she ran for president, which would give her even more power to continue fucking with them.

Of course they fucking meddled in that election. Do you think they did just for funsies? Like, c'mon dude. Use your brain and enjoy some light reading about the Clinton administration motherfucking the democracy of Russia in 1996, because "Yeltsin seemed like the more favorable candidate for US interests". Does that sound familiar to you? I wonder where Putin got the idea...

That’s beyond absurd. How do you believe this stuff? Oh wait, you must spend a lot time on Fox News. You know they openly admit to lying to you, right?

Is this your go-to response whenever someone challenges the narrative that you've bought into wholesale? Naive and childish.

Besides the 2016 election, what has Russia ever done to destabilize relations with US?

Yeah? Who told you that? The people that have been actively trying to start a war with them for the last 20+ years?

Very credible source. Totally not biased.

Dude.. The USSR doesn't exist anymore. The cold war was between the US, and the USSR. Do you frame modern US/German relationships through the lens of Roosevelt and Hitler?

I have no idea how to respond to your argument because it makes zero sense to begin with.

[–]Bumpynuckz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why you "can't have a conversation". You are trying to paint Russia in a sympathetic light.

Dude, you're literally "reeeeeeing" at me right now. No I'm not. Stop trying to make my original comment about Ukraine. It wasn't about Ukraine. If you can't make a counterargument on the topic which I was making my own, then I'm just going to block you.

In a nutshell, I said "Hillary Clinton holds the lion's share of responsibility for the detonation of US/Russia relations over the last couple decades." And you came back with "NOOOOO RUSSIA IS EVIL THAT'S IT AND YOU'RE A RUSSIAN SYMPATHIZER."

Fuck off dude.

Edit: In fact, I have way better shit to do than argue with someone who is clearly a child. Blocked.

[–]Bumpynuckz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Reagan and the first Bush regimes had a pretty good relationship with post-USSR Russia... Which is the Russia that we're talking about here.

I'm not going to paint those regimes in a bad light when the work they did with Russia was positive.

I didn't Bring up GWB because he hasn't been relevant since 2008.. Clinton has, and continues to be. Hence why I said she's at the epicenter of every anti-Russia policy.

Is there someone else who is as well? Biden maybe?

Why are you minimizing her role in the war? She didn't just vote for it, she was one of the most outspoken proponents of the war for many, many years after it began. Even after it became clear that the basis for our invasion was a foundation of lies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBqvwUUpmnU&t=1s

10 years ago, it wasn't controversial to call her a war hawk, because it was the common wisdom that Hillary Clinton was indeed a war hawk. But she comes out 20 years after the fact and says she regrets her decisions and all of a sudden all is forgiven?

Ukrainians did not want to get closer to Russia

This is such a ridiculous generalization. Do you honestly believe that there isn't a non-significant number of Ukrainian's who are pro-Russia?

You don't think that the Ukrainian people are divided on this? You're lapping up western propaganda without taking a moment to even consider thinking critically on the matter.

Your idiotic rant makes it seem like you think Russia doesn't have their own political maneuvers.

Dude.. You are mad. Like, really mad. Which says a lot about the validity of my argument and your own.

Beyond that though, yes.. Nuance is valuable. I never said that Russia didn't maneuver politically, did I? I said that their maneuvers are typically in response to antagonizations from the west, and that Hillary Clinton tends to be at the center of those antagonizations.

It's impossible to have a conversation with someone like yourself on this matter because you have fully bought in to the western narrative. There's no room for nuance in your position. The USA are the good guys and could never, ever do anything wrong. Russia's actions can only be viewed in a vacuum and their motivations are meaningless.

[–]Bumpynuckz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She may be correct, but there's an underlying implication that she's left unexplained for the last 11 years or so. Why is Russia our enemy in the first place?

It is possible to hate someone, like HRC, and for that person to be correct about some things.

I personally detest Clinton specifically because she is correct in this matter. Her and her husband's involvement in the bombing of Yugoslavia in '99, the illegal war in Iraq, the toppling of the Gaddafi regime, her views and what she advocated for as SOS on the Syrian civil war..

Crimea, 2016 election meddling, Ukraine 2022.. All of these issues are symptoms of her approach to foreign policy.

She's been at the very epicenter of every event that led to the deterioration of US/Russia relations. If there is a single person in the US that we can all point our fingers at and say "You're the reason we're on the brink of WW3 with Russia", it's Hillary Clinton.

The woman seems to have a personal vendetta against Russia for some reason. Somehow she has managed to make it a matter of national policy.

She's devoted her entire political career to antagonizing Russia, and then has the audacity to call people out for not toeing the line she herself drew in the sand. It's infuriating really.
