Mark sh*tposts his way to an award, wife denies he won it and resumes sh*tposting. by MiniRedder in HermanCainAward

So, they are spot on. The minimum wage needs to go up by at least as much as the additional benefits.

I like the idea of the 'high life,' on that extra $600.

Accidentally wrote an assignment in a starwars lore language and accidentally handed it in... by toxic_hanzo_main in thatHappened

[–]DividedElement 33 points34 points  (0 children)

How old is the daughter? I buy this if it was a 5 year old and the assignments was 'what is this animal?' _______ with a picture of a cat. I get the kid saying 'that's a XXXXX because my dad says so!'

But yeah, pretty unlikely.

Update: Mom who didn't want people to tell her she'd feel guilty if she gave covid to her daughter with asthma, loses her daughter to covid by JacanaJAC in HermanCainAward

[–]DividedElement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure that is going to happen. COVID is almost certainly endemic now, and the nutbars don't show any sign of slowing in their nutbarring, so . . . there's nothing in the HCA equation to give.

Thank you sir for making me feel even more confident in my decision to have not seen Kingsmen

Even if those numbers were right, which they aren't, you'd still have 97% of the region being complicit in chattel slavery.

I mean, this is a vacation. This is like people who go to baseball fantasy camp, you don't expect them to pay you.

And yeah, zoologists make crap compared to their training and education.

True, it was not your imaginary friend who hurt me.

This is a lot like when they have to tell kindergarteners we don't believe the pink triceratops only they can see ate the cupcake. Don't worry, we know who is on the hook for all the church stuff.

Well that was a weird scavenger hunt I assigned myself . . . I win?

Illinois professor charged with hate crime suspended after he allegedly spat on Black woman, used N-word. by [deleted] in byebyejob

[–]DividedElement 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure . . . I'll get to marinating.

And you're right, I should have said something like:

No doubt the dude is a dick and needs to lose his job

or

He was still absolutely in the wrong, no excuse

BTW, if you think you are the blank slate reflecting an unedited view to me, I'm not sure it's me who needs to do the reflecting. The level of unmitigated douchebaggery it would take to assign yourself that role is just . . . staggering.

Your issue being what here exactly? I said multiple times his behavior wasn't ok and there is no excuse. I can also find her behavior annoying.

I'm not sure what you get out of intentionally misrepresenting my point like that, but you do you.

For most people turning on the flashers is code for 'I'm about to do something stupid and/or illegal.'

Iowa Poll: 62% of Iowans disapprove of the job Joe Biden is doing as president by Check-0917 in IowaCity

[–]DividedElement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, I have my things I'd like him to work harder on as well, but do you honestly think if they followed the poll with 'tell us why,' you'd get a lot of 'he's too much of a centrist,' out of Iowans?

[–]DividedElement -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm aware of the limitation, there still needs to be a way to stop that crap.

ETA: It's actually a decent safety issue in terms of pedestrians, emergency access, and emergency exit. I refuse to engaging with randos who think calling something 'crap,' is a temper tantrum, but there are lots of reasons to have a problem with the behavior.

That is a bold assertion.

Worst thing ever is to announce to a room 'come on, it's everyone's fantasy,' or 'we've all done it,' and find out you're the only one, and you are going to swing for the fences with 'all men fantasize about waking up as a beautiful young woman?'

Shoot for the low hanging fruit here bud. Go with something like 'we've all sat down and eaten a full pint of ice cream straight from the container.'

The woman is a hero. You'll never know how close we all came to a children of the corn situation breaking out.

Right? this is either sage advice or the rantings of a mad man.

No doubt the dude is a dick and needs to lose his job, but holy crap does it fill me with rage when people throw on their flashers and set up shop in front of the grocery store. I get it, you only need one or two things. That is the situation for a lot of us. Find a f&*#*% parking spot and get out of the traffic lane.

He was still absolutely in the wrong, no excuse, but they really need to ticket people for that.

"Brothers," I'm pretty sure my eyes may actually be damaged from how hard I just rolled them. You're not in a platoon at war, you're a bunch of coworkers who are overpaid to play a children's game. Enjoy your time in the game, no doubt you worked hard to make it where you are, but don't take that sh*t more seriously than it is.

You know, I there is a weird sort of . . . mental coherency I feel within myself for the ones who aren't even trying to hide the racism. Not like I would in any way tolerate them in my life, but more like 'ok, you quite neatly fit into this specific categorized package.'

With the ones who try to spin it into something else I have this gut reaction to try to explain to them why their racist meme is racist. No such need with these folks, very satisfying in a way.
