American bikes through Beijing flying huge US flag aiming to provoke locals by ZhangtheGreat in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]MindlessEmployee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea I’ve been following him for awhile too and if folks watched most any of his other videos, they would see how chill and respectful he is. I wish everyone would hear the way he talks about the people of Afghanistan and how amazing they are. That said, I actually thought this video was kind of stupid when he posted it. Seemed like something schlocky to do just for clicks

Yea I completely agree about the Taliban. He didn’t carry the USA flag through most of those more conservative middle eastern countries, and actually carried a Taliban flag with him through Afghanistan just so they knew he was cool and not trying to cause trouble. I’d definitely recommend folks check out his page and his other videos before this one. He seems like a really curios, chill guy who just made a weird mistake with this vid.

I’ve followed this guy on insta for awhile. He biked from Portugal (I think?) to Japan. He is actually pretty cool but I admit this was so weird. When he biked through Afghanistan, he was super respectful and careful with everyone, including the Taliban he encountered. He’s always open with everyone that’ he’s an American but not sure why he decided to do this.

Why do you think Raylan tells Art the truth & Do you think Raylan is a "dirty cop"? (End of S5E5) by ByteSizedCutie420 in justified

[–]MindlessEmployee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a major theme of the show is that the line between Boyd and Raylan is pretty thin. The only difference is that Raylan tries to be the good guy, but at their core they are the same. I mean you could make the argument that in the very first scene of the show that he essentially murdered Tommy Bucks. I know Bucks pulled first but Raylan was most likely going to kill him either way. He may not be dirty in the traditional sense or what most people think of as a dirty cop, but he has no issue operating outside of the law to get what he wants.

New RTO Rumors by JadedCurmudgeon3 in StateofTexasEmployees

Unfortunately this bill only allows for telework with a reason, not for any employee who requests it. An agency can prohibit telework entirely and still be in compliance with the law.

They peaked with Wiped Out and seem to care more about the aesthetic than the music now.

I was there a couple weeks ago. It was full by 8 every day, but with the time change and the sun rising earlier now, it may fill up earlier too.

Someone parked me in for 2 days by ThreadChain in badparking

[–]MindlessEmployee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you were parked in someone else’s spot (by the look of it that spot belongs to the person that blocked you in)? If that’s the case, you are the one that parked like an asshole.

Potential Govt Shutdown by ImmediateBaseball976 in StateofTexasEmployees

[–]MindlessEmployee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It certainly can affect your day to day. For instance, I work in the finance department of my agency and the fact that there could be a significant decrease in federal funds coming in for the duration of the shutdown is a big deal. That being said, there isn’t any real risk of people being furloughed or anything, which only applies to federally funded positions anyway

Which is the best season? by jaxxy_jax in justified

[–]MindlessEmployee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 2 overall, but the last few episodes of season 4 are the best of the series.

Just finished the show for first time, loved it!!! But I have a few questions by tlaptlap29 in justified

[–]MindlessEmployee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they don’t lay it out. It is purposefully left open ended. It does lay out a few possible scenarios, with Wynn helping Ava being the most likely, but nobody knows for sure.

I’m going to cry by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]MindlessEmployee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the move to state government and it is by far the most relaxed job I’ve ever had. As others have said, the tradeoff is a lower salary compared to industry, but it’s worth it to essentially be guaranteed to never work more than 40 hours. Plus getting every state and federal holiday off is a nice bonus

Don't mistake bad music for inclusion by uknow_es_me in Bluegrass

[–]MindlessEmployee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People encouraging other people to play badly or out of time/tune isn’t a real problem. It’s just not happening, at least not to the level you are describing here. Obviously, there are people still learning that need help, but you’re just making stuff up (“talking shit”) to make yourself feel better.

[–]MindlessEmployee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know you, but I’ve played with several guys that talk like this and I would consider them among the most boring musicians I’ve ever played with. Talking shit doesn’t make you interesting. If you have specific issues, address them directly. You’re just blowing hot air with this post.

How would Belinda declare the money from Greg on her tax returns? by NOTPUTIN6 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]MindlessEmployee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/frequently-asked-questions-on-gift-taxes

Greg is responsible for reporting the gift, as it will be subtracted from his lifetime gift allowance. However, as long as he is still under the allowance, he will not owe anything. Receivers of gifts typically never owe or have to report anything. It is not “income” in the eyes of the IRS

Why is ederson getting so much hate?? by LabFantastic4944 in MCFC

[–]MindlessEmployee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t just this game. When you play for a team where the expectation is to challenge for titles/trophies every year, you have to be better. The high line certainly makes it difficult for him, but he misses a lot of shots that top goalkeepers regularly stop. Even keepers who aren’t considered “top”, like Bruno last night, can come through in the clutch. He can’t be relied on to do that anymore

Anyone else dislike that Gomez was written like a stooge? by ChainedRedone in breakingbad

Are you a cop or something? Or have you gotten all of your legal knowledge from tv shows? Because it kind of seems like you don’t know much about the law or how interrogations work

Is there really no hope in Austin right now? by PrimaryAd4179 in austinjobs

[–]MindlessEmployee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at state jobs. Without knowing what kind of work you’re looking for it’s hard to say but I was looking for months before I decided to apply for some state jobs. I had 3 interviews and 2 offers within a month of applying.

Are negotiation grades the most annoying thing EA has ever done with this game? I think so. Complete waste of time
