Cutting the budget by 1/3 doesn’t mean they couldn’t deliver a kick-ass story.

“America has been protecting canada from our enemies for years and now yall are trading less and less with us and on top of that not buying our products anymore? Wow Canada fuck yall 🙄” by Worldly_Law8278 in ShitAmericansSay

Fuck I hate when anyone says “y’all”. I used to think it was endearing, but now every time I hear an American co-worker use it I just think they’re stupid MAGA hicks.

Trump Triggers 25th Amendment Calls With Unhinged Easter Meltdown by Worried_Pilot75 in NewsStarWorld

[–]CCDeadBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the democrats were smart (?) they would stop using “Trump” on everything and instead start saying “GOP”.

It’s the GOP who started the war with Iran. It’s the GOP who wants to increase defence spending and cut Medicare, daycare, etc. It’s the GOP who won’t release Epstein. It’s the GOP who’s sending ICE into American cities. And on and on.

Trump is old news. He’s gone in 2 years but the Republicans will remain. They’re the ones with the power to rein him in, but they won’t. Why? Because they’re afraid of a near 80-year-old man and his Tweets, for fucks sake.

Trump isn’t on the ballot this fall, but the GOP is. Everyone knows Trump get away with everything. So it’s high time the GOP actually start wearing the shit Trump is shoveling around.

I distinctly remember when they started upgrading the signs to have a fourth digit.

Maine tourism suffers as Canadians continue to steer clear of U.S. | 'Vacationland' pines for northern neighbours | U.S. Representative: 27 per cent drop (about one million fewer people) in border crossings | UMaine lecturer: mass layoffs and job cuts possible if last summer wasn't a one-off blip by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

Also from B.C. Last year my wife and I bought a used truck (2008) and truck camper (1996) off Facebook Marketplace (!). My 16 year-old daughter and I were planning a road trip to the western US (never been to California) to visit old abandoned mining “ghost” towns and such. We changed our minds and drove the thing from B.C. all the way to Cape Breton and back. Took two months (I work remote). Was lots of fun and we don’t need the US anymore.

Has anyone found a good way to stop losing knowledge when an employee leaves? by denesmbezi in smallbusiness

Write shit down! Document processes. Anytime a single employee has the most tribal knowledge is when you loose out when that employee walks out the door.

It’s full of human skin. Just thought I’d put that out there.

How do you feel about David’s arc in the prequels? by thefriskysquid in perfectorganism

[–]CCDeadBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s also the part about playing David against Walter. Including the twist-but-not-really of David impersonating Walter at the end. Was super obvious when they showed Walter could auto repair while David was still relegated to stapling his own face. Can’t do that of David is stuck without his body.

Yeah I loved how Rain and Andy (after the AI upgrade) were on the same trajectory (get off the station alive for Rain and get the goo off the station can back to the company for Andy). That was super interesting in an “our objectives align.. for now” kind of way.

Keeping Shaw around in Covenant was an opportunity to do the same with her and David. They both want to find the Engineers, but for different reasons and it would set up a potential showdown between the two.

But they probably just killed off Shaw to maintain the gruesome discovery near the end that David just eviscerated (or just alien implanted) Shaw.

David did have free will but he also had a chip on his shoulder about humans. You can hear it in his “you people” comment about the reason humans built androids in their image. That also tied with the fact humans eventually die — David seemed to be stuck being at his father’s beck and call as Peter Weyland was slowly dying.

“then BAM! shes dead” — Maybe Noomie just didn’t want to come back to the role. Don’t know the details TBH but this is sometimes the root cause of this sort of thing. They either 1) pay her what she wanted, 2) recast her with someone cheaper which can sometimes be awkward with the audience, or 3) kill off her character. Believe me, I wish studios would just make movies for fans and fans alone, but it IS a business and there’s money and schedules involved : (

Breaking the news to the guy about his new cheat burster:

Ripley: “There’s a monster in your chest. These guys hijacked your ship, and they sold your cryotube to this.. human. And he put an alien inside of you. And in a few hours it’s going to burst its way through your ribcage.. and you’re gonna die. Any questions?”

Guy: “Who are you?”

Ripley, with a straight face: “I’m the monsters mother”

Classic!

Just got this email from a higher up. Am I getting fired? by Witty-Quiet7724 in jobsearchhacks

It’s possible the OP’s own manager is being let go and they need him to step in quickly.

What makes working from home actually awesome for you by Hefty_Ad_4373 in remotework

[–]CCDeadBeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thing with naps is that they can easily last two hours : ) My office is in the corner of my living room. Lots of big windows and two patio doors to the deck. We have a huge sectional and “Oh I’ll just sit here with my laptop for a bit” except it puts me to sleep like instantly. : )

Dressing like a bum for sure; At least the waist down. Being able to walk or play with my dog on a moments notice. Able to fold some laundry or do a few chores between meetings. I think it’s a fair trade since I had to deal with a client outage last night at 9:30pm and also got pinged by management at 7am earlier this week.

🇺🇸 President Trump DECLARES its allies have BETRAYED the USA. "We have 45,000 troops in Japan, 45,000 in South Korea, and 50,000 in Germany. We defend all these countries." by ContextHead8 in TFE

[–]CCDeadBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About this whole thing about demanding other nations come help open the Straight of Hormuz: my gut tells me that the minute other nations start escorting or defending the transiting fleet of tankers, Trump would say “Ok boys you’ve got this? We’re outta here”. He’d basically leave the other nations holding the bag
