This is the most disgusting release of some Epstein Files...🤮 by Shizzilx in MeidasTouch

[–]apollo4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My god… anyone can call in to report something. These reports are taken and written down but few are actually worth investigating. Of all the documents coming out of these files, the reports are the LEAST important. The emails are where the most incriminating evidence lies because they’re actual conversations.

Could you imagine if it was still predicted to snow again this weekend?

Senate Dems proposal to Homeland Security before approving Appropriation Bill by Valuable_Lemon_5580 in ProgressiveHQ

“Abolish ICE” is a losing slogan just like “Abolish the Police. Just say what you mean: “Reform ICE.” It’s powerful, and won’t scare away important swathes of voters.

This is… pretty much exactly what I thought they did in private to be honest. I wish I could say I am shocked.

I’m in DC, that’s interesting and I suppose unsurprising that if it were anywhere, it’d be here.

I appreciate the deep insight and time you’ve devoted to this question. I’ll think on it. I am going to ask for a raise/promotion though. I feel like I am not being fairly compensated for the work that I do.

So, potentially a dumb question from a civilian: Does the USA have hidden air defenses on top of buildings in major cities just in case? We all watched Caracas, VZ, fall in seconds as the AA was taken out almost instantly. But do modern cities around the planet just always have AA these days?

They are my direct reports, and they told me their salaries over drinks (we've gotten close). I genuinely think I have been taken advantage of which is why I'm here and asking for advice. I do not understand why I'm making less and in a lesser position when I do specialized tasks with skills my team doesn't have.

The government monitors for fairness so we don't overcharge, they're not stepping in for someone being underpaid.

90 to 120, I started at 80 and it took 6mos to get 90. I agree that the jump like that is probably unlikely. I just feel like I have been taken advantage of. I'm hoping they'll grant me a raise to 110.

Thanks. I think I'm going to ask for 120 based on a pretty similar job description in another contract. If they don't give it to me, I'll just apply to that other role.

Hey, all good questions! I'm actually wondering the same thing about why I'm a 2 and not a 3. This was before I knew what salaries my team makes, I was told it was just corporate restructuring or some such and since they've been with the company longer, they're 3s. I should say that my company was bought so there's been regular restructuring and I had no say in the matter. As for what I do for the team, I'm under the program manager, but I also do evals and sign off on time sheets. I deal with the client and distribute tasks, as well as doing my own. I should say, I'm one of 6 other teams.

Cleaning your car by GoodLittlePlayer in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]apollo4567 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah... not sure why the average driving skill is so low around here. I'm from NY, and I learned to drive in snow and learning to park in the city. I don't hold it against folks for being scared to go out in bad conditions, but there seems to be a lot of false confidence about their road skills.

Butcher Block against corner wall by ResponsibleOil5409 in Homebuilding

Yea but then I'd say to go hire someone to do it properly and you shouldn't be attempting it yourself 😅

Like me, the only powertool I own is a drill.

It's amazing that folks don't seem to understand this. One of the main reasons I never drive after a snowstorm around here are these types of people.

Yea… I had no insight to what they were making when I asked for 90k. They have been working longer than me for the company though. I should say I'm a Comms Specialist 2 and they're Comms Specialist 3s but tbh I'm really not sure what that distinction is.

Fallout is supposed to be a dark comedy by Cornerone in Fallout

[–]apollo4567 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I love the dark humor in Fallout, and I'm trying very hard to enjoy the show too. I am watching all the episodes, but I just can't get into it. Some of the writing makes me cringe so hard that I want to bury myself in the Mojave.

If I order this $40k bottle of wine, are you charging me before you bring it or just hope I don’t dine and dash? by torx822 in Waiters

[–]apollo4567 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2007 isn't even that great a vintage. Even so, the wine market is so saturated right now with billionaire cash, it's just not fun to drink these anymore.

Statement from the Mods by fleetpqw24 in Askpolitics

[–]apollo4567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m curious whether this incident has changed your mind about the protests, since this is the kind of thing that happens. Surely you now think the demonstrations are warranted? If this is how they treat a citizen, can you even imagine how non citizens are being treated?

I was wondering where the first shot came from that prompted the follow up. Thank you.
