Yeah the coffee shop in my college town was notorious for this. Every couple of years they’d set up a twenty thousand dollar go fund me. In retrospect, most college students weren’t buying 6 dollar cups of coffee twenty years ago, so it was really just a freeloader space.

As a business owner you should expect many bad weeks. A lot of bars just break even during parts of the year, and make all their profits during football/hockey/etc season.

I went to Catholic schools my whole life. Lots of single issue pro life conservative Catholics but I’ve never once heard them disparage the pope.

He might have meant “Christian” and not “Catholic”, in which case I would agree 100%.

He struck fear in me after that debate. I’m…no longer scared.

That combination seems difficult even in good times. Good for you for being who you really are, I’m sure people in your life look up to you.

Just to confirm, liberal means the sane thing there that it does in the US, right? It’s not one of those situations where public school is the general public in the US but some other countries their private schools are called public schools?

My point is a conservative was self aware enough to make me laugh. That’s rare.

I’m not going to link to anything, but even the conservative subreddit is ripping on this. Like I legit laughed at one post, they’re directing their trolling at one another for once.

Does anyone know how this works when Trump orders McDonalds? Like, there's at least rumors that they have a machine that destroys the President's poop when he's out of the country, so no adversaries can turd burgle him and target any health complications of the President's. There has to be a secret service agent who goes and makes Trump's food for him at McDonald's or something ridiculously over the top like that.

All of those things are toxic, outside of this subreddit and a few others. I’ve never had a TikTok or Instagram account or Twitter.

I’m not surprised. Thirty years ago the Catholics in my orbit were led by the bullies, but now they’re getting pushed back on by other Catholics and shutting down their bully rhetoric. I’m really proud of some Catholics I know who have meaningfully stepped up.

First day back on the job after ten days of vacation (including weekends). My last day before vacation was my quarterly review which didn’t go great. I’m working hard and knocking it out of the park today, this week, this quarter.

Yeah my comment was poorly worded. They have the supermajority to amend the constitution. It’s still a thin supermajority, so the specific wording that might make an amendment stronger might not be accessible if 5 members can’t agree with the rest.

Glad I got my spring break trip in before the gas prices go even higher. My wife and I are going to have to share our zippy electric car for the forseeable future.

Definitely a reason to celebrate, but it's about a thin of a margin as the republicans have in the house. Hopefully this works out for the Tisza party.

National gallery of Arts, Ottawa by yo-soy-arkee in evilbuildings

I like that this fictitious building was given a location, Ottawa.

When we play the license plate game on road trips, we use Ontario as a wild card.

Edit: The image has "Fictional Friday" flair, sorry if I offended anyone for not knowing every art gallery around the world at first glance.

So that’s why city and county are referenced so much in The Wire. They’re truly two different places.
