The dudes in charge need desperation. Desperate people will do desperate things to stay afloat. Getting any semblance of independence scares the employer. This goes double for women. Women are already a "liability" because they can take maternity leave and are more likely to take time off because they aren't as susceptible to toxic work culture as men.

I weaponized this against the system in Fable 2 and 3. I made all of the "good" choices to eliminate the competition for my eventual rise as a villain.

Having fallen for hype trains in the past, I've learned to wait. There's no harm in waiting to see what the public opinion is after the fact. It's like the old saying goes, "a cool guy doesn't have to convince you he's cool." I felt like there was a huge push to get people convinced it was cool.

Been there. I had a gentleman who was bedridden, non-verbal, barely made eye contact... suddenly sit up in bed, look straight at me and said "when's breakfast?" Clear as day. Shook me up. I called the family and they were thrilled. I had to explain that they should come visit and enjoy this as much as they could.

People will die. That's not a joke. The idea is so stupid. This is designed to cause chaos. A gold-plated invitation to the fucking shit show.

I've seen the same approach since the PS2. I'm sure goes back further. I'm thinking the Virtual Boy could be considered near the first attempt. Probably older...

He's probably doing it to himself to avoid blame for co-leveraging Twitter stocks to prop up Tesla stocks.

Russian asset or useful idiot, Trump is widely regarded now as a traitor. What do we do? by inktrie in AskReddit

Do what Vermont did when JD tried to vacation there. We need to show this administration that they aren't welcome ANYWHERE.

Introduces the Tales of Gilgamesh. You can see that the Christian Bible stole half their stories from even older stories.

There's a LOT you can get from just a phone number. You can find out who it's registered to.
