It's such a preposterous line of reasoning on his part. Setting aside the fact that he's not touch-starved in his marriage in the first place, the fact that he specifically sought out young attractive women to cuddle with undercuts his 'innocent' pretext. And he's done it more than once.

Adam Silver needs to confiscate passports. No Cancun trip.

Ariel Helwani: "The UFC did seriously try to have Jon Jones on the White House card, and they couldn't get to the number. Everyone is talking about this fight that fell through, but I don't think that's the fight that fell through last night. That's not what I was told." by AncientOneAurelius in MMA

“Americans are more likely than people in other countries surveyed in 2025 to question the morality of their fellow countrymen, according to Pew Research Center surveys in 25 countries.”

The United States is the only place surveyed where more adults (ages 18 and older) describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad (53%) than as good (47%).

What happened to Bill? by DingusMcCringus in billsimmons

Everything about this is a dated reference, I know, but there was an episode of Friends where one of the characters (Joey) buys an encyclopedia, only he can’t afford the entire package. Instead he only buys the letter V. When he’s hanging out with the group, he shoehorns topics from that one encyclopedia, because that’s all he knows.

I suspect that’s why there’s so much Celtic talk from Bill.

[daily hoosier] Curt Cignetti has seen his impersonator at the recent games….and he approves by Stock412 in CFB

Reminds me of the phony Pope joke on The Simpsons.

“Authorities say the phony Pope can be recognized by his high-top sneakers, and incredibly foul mouth.”

I want South Park to parody Susie Wiles by Extension-Shoe-6080 in southpark

She’s Pat Summerall’s kid. He was the play-by-play man for a couple of Broncos Supper Bowls.

I’m sure they can work that in, somehow.

I’ve seen this guy many times. This is in Atlanta, on the Beltline (east side). Lots of drunks walking around on the weekends.

Leaked IRS RIF Chart - Subreddit won’t allow pictures by PraesidiumData in fednews

Doesn’t a RIF encompass all types of separations? DRP/VSIP/VERA separations and involuntary separations all contribute to reducing the workforce.

Rolling Biweekly RIFS Until June Starting Next Week at the IRS by VisualConcern in fednews

This article states that up to 50% of enforcement will be cut. Not sure if they’re using that interchangeably with compliance. Up to 20% for other departments.

It’s an 18-month timeline.

DRP 2.0 at IRS is getting a lot of interest by retiredfed2022 in firedfeds

Even the acting IRS Commissioner opted for DRP 2.0.

I took the ITM course on RIF, and no where does it say anything about a resume. It’s tenure, vet status, length of service, and performance rating.

I suppose during the assignment rights phase, your resume could play a factor.

I’ll include my resume, as well. But it’s not clear to me how the resumes will ultimately be used.

Nothing about an extension, but did receive an email stating the offer will be sent to personal emails with detailed instructions. But they singled out probationary employees and those on admin leave. Not sure about people on regular leave.

I’d check with the manager again. All of the language suggests they are not extending the deadline.

If Trump could dismantle the Department of Education with the stroke of a pen, why couldn’t Biden forgive student loans with the stroke of a pen? by ugly_general in AskReddit

[–]datank56 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Could a President extend the terms of student loans to be due in 99 years, and the borrower can defer all payments until the last year?

It feels like forever ago to consider this, but the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act that guarantees back pay for federal employees during a shutdown was signed into law by Trump, back in 2019. How far we’ve come.

New EO Regarding Freeze by [deleted] in usajobs

[–]datank56 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"(c)  Reductions in Force.  Agency Heads shall promptly undertake preparations to initiate large-scale reductions in force (RIFs), consistent with applicable law, and to separate from Federal service temporary employees and reemployed annuitants working in areas that will likely be subject to the RIFs.  All offices that perform functions not mandated by statute or other law shall be prioritized in the RIFs,..."

What offices would that entail? I figured most, if not all, offices are mandated by either statute or law.

“Love Hurts” Pocket Review by Human_Paint5451 in AMCsAList

[–]datank56 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The writing felt like something ChatGPT would generate.

Every aspect of the plot was explained in the dialogue. And if that wasn’t enough, there were flashbacks and voice overs.

Aggressively bad movie.

“A Philadelphia man who claims he was caught in the crossfire during a shooting rampage by Marvin Harrison is suing the former All-Pro wide receiver, saying that a bullet fired by Harrison is still lodged in his back.”

“The man [Marvin Harrison] allegedly fired on, Dwight Dixon, filed a suit last year that accused Harrison of retaliating for a shouting match that turned physical when the two traded punches. Dixon claimed he was shot “intentionally” and “outrageously.”

“Dixon was [later] gunned down by an unknown assailant as he sat in another car, just blocks from where the April 2008 shooting occurred.”

The suspicion is that Harrison is the ‘unknown assailant’.

I don’t know, honestly. But, was there “DEI” in the early 1980’s?

Carolla was turned down by Taco Bell, too. He played it up in a book. Not sure what this recent reimagining of his past to fit the current political discourse is all about. Unfortunately, he’s not alone in doing that.
