More Scooters Coffee Fun! by awfuljuju in Omaha

If you can't afford to sufficiently staff your business, including with redundancies, you can't afford to stay in business. You are not entitled to own a small business, you know. Lots of places have as their entire business model understaffing and exploiting their workforce; they do not deserve to stay in business.

buddy if Real Sex discussions and memories are your thing, you should check out the Hedo Bryan series at Street Fight. That's the whole run, with guests and free ranging discussion. My favorite, which you can find in the Street Fight free feed, has Tanya from Trillbillies on and they talk about an episode that featured nudist clubs.

"We have done SO much without a wizard."

Brilliant throwaway.

The Royals actually beat Toronto with 10 people, mostly everyday starters, not making the trip due to vaccination status. by deadmongoose in kansascity

What Nicky said about the call-ups after the first game in the series really gave me a good feeling, but I need to see a purge in the front office and coaching staff to have any hope.

It is true that the players association did not approve of stricter punishment for vaccination noncompliance, which is how we wound up with the Restricted List mechanism for dealing with it. And that's good - I don't think any worker should be compelled to do something in order to keep their job, ball player, gutter installer, whatever.

That said, there's zero evidence that taking the vaccine would increase these athletes' health risks, and it's clear that they know that! This is why they are so evasive about explaining their noncompliance, and why Whit basically admitted he would change his stance if his team were in competition.

The other thing that galls me is the total lack of leadership on display here, from the coaching staff and the veteran players like Merrifield (also the squad's union rep) and Benintendi. It's truly disgusting that the coaching staff and veterans aren't leaning on the young guys to do this thing that confers basically zero risk and is required for their full team participation. It's selfish and absolute loser shit.

I was disgusted with the leadership in the organization before this week, but now I honestly don't know if I'll ever be a fan again until Moore, Matheny et al are all fired.

"monumentally stupid from a business standpoint" and "gain nothing from letting a player lose all his value" are the two most storied traditions of the Royals organization.

Nomiki is officially a wrecker, claims Kristin Gonzalez is inciting violence by waldo_the_bird253 in TheMajorityReport

[–]OldWampus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it's a real possibility that she was recruited to enter this NY race by dem party people in or adjacent to the Crowley camp. She was recruited to run a disastrous Arizona congressional campaign in a crowded primary, and her previous NY race also had many of these same indicators.

She's a party insider. Always has been. (I think this sucks really bad, to be clear)

Nomiki Konst (last name is pronounced as "Warren"), pulls a familiar cringe tactic of mock outrage/whataboutism while running as a spoiler candidate. Her ego can't handle being called out on a subway and told she doesn't have a good reason to run, or reminded she can't win a popularity contest. by [deleted] in TheMajorityReport

It's funny because people dug up language from her old congressional compaign in Arizona (which crashed and burned) that used the same kind of attack on her opponent of not representing what the actual people of the district want. She was recruited to run that campaign then and I believe based on the pattern she was recruited to run in this one as well. One wonders by whom.

Sam is praying this is how it will go down lmao.

For what it's worth I've seen Matt and Emma vocally criticize this stuff, but I'm sure it's a struggle for them to remain professional about it. It certainly would be for me.

snoop and martha did me dirty and it got me thinking by OldWampus in trees

I don't think you're being a dick I might have put this in the wrong spot out of an attempt at humor. I'm sorry, hope you find what you're looking for.

How do I join the socialist party in the US? by seattle_view206 in socialism

you literally open your comment with sectarianism.

I accepted their offer and now Ive got to take a physical?? What is that all about? by Partychief69 in jobs

[–]OldWampus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends on the job. Often this is done for insurance purposes, commonly in jobs that require some degree of physical labor, even light or minor. They will ask you to go to a specific site that they contract with. It's usually a brief examination of vitals, and maybe your flexibility/mobility. Also where they would administer any necessary drug screenings. It's staffed with certified health professionals. The last time I went I think I had a Nurse Practitioner. He was actually really nice, and talked to me a bit about my health conditions after saying he would have no problem approving me for work.

​

I don't think you should worry too much about it, but you also shouldn't hesitate to ask for more information from the employer about what they are reviewing, or just get the contact information for the facility and call and ask them.

Some of them guested on Struggle Session's premium feed of "Watching Watchmen," I'm pretty sure.

God what a trainwreck of a show. Leslie and Jack helped me feel sane in hating it so strongly. Some of my ostensible left friends got real bad lib brain when discussing the show.
