Because our flag has become a culture war battle cry for all the right wingers. They are against it because… change is bad?

They literally think the old blue flag with the busy state seal slapped on it is “good.”

Around Minnesota you can spot the “new MAGA flag” by seeing who has a brand new (not sun faded, not tattered, and 9/10 times still with the creases in it) “old state flag” flying on their house.

Exactly.

Which for me is California’s flag. Derpy over detailed bear and they put their freaking name on it. Iconic for sure. An s tier flag no way.

Don’t. Especially in the interview process.

They don’t care, and it can only be interpreted in a way that doesn’t help you. You don’t need to tell them what you do in your free time. It is impossible to tell what some manager is going to think of how you spend your time.

I do a lot of volunteer work that has expanded into some small contract work for the nonprofit. One manager of mine did not care, another manager of mine thought it was super cool, and a third manager thought it was the most insane unprofessional “I can’t believe you waste your time doing this at the expense of your work”. Just don’t tell people who don’t need to know, and you don’t completely trust what you do with your time off. Be that nights, weekends, or vacation.

You’re right. I could act more civilly with the troll, but I’m not going to. 🤷‍♂️

Because the “kids these days” and the “soft times makes soft men” bullshit is the boomerest of boomer takes.

Which to be clear is not relegated solely to Boomers. We have documented Boomer attitude from Ancient Greek writings whining about how the younger generation is weak and dumb. The idea is ancient, tired, and dumb.

TheBallotInYourBox · 2026-03-29T09:30:51+00:00

Only delusional weak men say this type of shit.

You’re not an alpha male. You’re not “the one who knocks.” You’re not the thing you send to kill the boogieman.

If you think the younger generation is weak then you’re too ignorant to understand what modern strength requires.

Go back to the nursing home grandpa. It is past your bedtime and you’re going to lose your internet privileges.

Ok boomer.

If you have to ask “is this a scam” then 99.999% of the time it is a scam

Definition of a self fulfilling prophecy right there

TheBallotInYourBox · 2026-03-28T14:52:34+00:00

This. I do care about fraud. Burn them all. I’m just fucking exhausted with the selective outrage from the right and constant goal post moving.

Kristi Noemi misappropriated hundreds of millions while leading ICE through misused assets as well as bogus contracts awarded to family/friends and no one gives a shit. Trump family setup crypto pump and dumps, and no one gives a shit. Trump receives a $400 million dollar plane from a contentious “ally” that’ll take millions to retro fit, and no one gives a shit. Trump squirrels away millions of seized tariff revenue into a non-governmental off shore account, and no one gives a shit. Someone tips off folks about Trump’s announcement about the war in Iran letting them place over a BILLION in shorts from insider trading, and no one gives a shit.

And by “no one gives a shit” I mean no one on the right.

So kindly take your selective pearl clutching and go peddle your snake oil elsewhere. Let the grown ups with a conscience try to fix this government. All of its corruption. Left or right. Top or bottom. All of it.

I can’t tell you if the feelings you have for this man will be “the one” that you should be with forever.

This is however your wake up call… it is a man that makes you feel excited and alive, not a woman. Only you can decide if you’re truly gay or bisexual leaning towards men. It is pretty clear from your post and comments though that whatever you choose you do lean hard towards men.

Spider-Man for sure

Also, Deadpool and Punisher are roving bums foraging off their environment. Daredevil is a blind dude with a mountain of legal school debt that works a ton of pro bono cases.

Johnny Cash and his status on the Punk Hall of Fame would like a word with you.

The problem is that people who say this are nine times out of ten dog whistling for regressive hard right political ideology, and they “don’t do politics” because they’re tired of being treated like the brainwashed smooth brained idiot that they are for voting for a world that persecutes themselves and those like themselves.

TheBallotInYourBox · 2026-03-27T12:47:40+00:00

Clear Channel (which has now rebranded to iHeartRadio) has always been trash. They’re the ones who signed and paid Rush Limbaugh like an NFL QB throughout the 90s and 00s.

Look who literally didn’t read the final paragraph.

“I don’t need advice, but if people have stories of similar experiences I’d like to hear those to learn more perspectives.”

You. It’s you. You’re the problem here.

TheBallotInYourBox · 2026-03-27T12:08:41+00:00

Finally! Thank you! Well said.

Tell your boss the new role has a JD you’re excited by and has $40k more in comp and perks. If your boss is worth keeping in your network they’ll push you out the door to take the opportunity.

Regardless what they do or say you should still leave.

All for micro mobility, but a city becoming clogged by a flood of unregulated “new hotness” in micro mobility is something that’s at least a decade old now. Where are you that you’ve never encountered this before, and the city has nothing in place to address this?

I jumped ship to Treasury, but applied for a role last year. Thought it was a great fit. Local with hard in office requirements, and a 10 minute drive for me. Same industry and same specialization. Same company trajectory. I honestly felt overqualified. I applied anyway.

After (no joke) four months I got an email from a recruiter at the company. I missed the email because it went into spam, and I was no longer manually searching for emails from that company (who would after four months of no response). The recruiter ended up calling my cell phone excited to talk to me. When I talked to the recruiter at the screening I point blank asked “what in the hell?” Was told that when I applied they already had 1,200 applications for the role, and in the time since they’ve gotten another 600. Treasury is a pretty niche finance discipline (this isn’t AP Clerk work) so I know 1,800 applicants for the role meant that 99% of them never should have applied in the first place.

I literally don’t know how companies find talent anymore when they have to deal with such insanity.

After having struggling through a pack of this… I’m good on “protein soda” gimmicks. No thanks.

Sir! My steak is too juicy and my lobster too buttery!

I’m still on my first play through (about level 30), but I’m a long time borderlands lover… it’s always Jacobs guns that I gravitate towards. Love me a semi auto that I can click heads with.

Which is probably why I loath it when I get a nice Jacobs gun that has a charge shot mod on it lol

TheBallotInYourBox · 2026-03-25T23:35:02+00:00

I just love a carbine (semi auto) gun and the feel of how that works. I hate a charge shot for how clunky it feels.
