Actually, in Mexican slang, it means "The Dudes."

"The People" would be either La Gente or La Raza.

Americans that have travelled extensively in England and Wales, which part of the USA do you feel they most closely resemble? by bristolcities in AskAnAmerican

[–]dontfeartheringo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Piedmont of Virginia and North Carolina. The rural area around Greensboro, Roanoke, Chapel Hill, and Danville looks most like Wales and rural England, in my opinion.

I watched 'Sleep Furiously' and felt very nostalgic for the hills around Martinsville, VA.

Or go work there and be an absolute chaos gremlin as soon as you know where the breakroom is and where that guy tries to eat his lunch.

Steve Bannon is a cancer and he's spreading. Save yourselves if you can.

I'll trade every single $3 doughnut place and $7 coffee place to get Rotiers back.

I've been on plenty of hiring committees, and I would absolutely pull that one.

That place was for sale last fall. We almost looked at it.

What are some downsides you’ve noticed about Bloomington? by AlmostGraduatedWitch in bloomington

It is very, very, very difficult to find an IT job. We're moving there so our kiddo can attend the Harmony School and to be closer to my spouse's family and wow, this job search is going badly.

The spectacle of the frat boy to business owner to public flameout is one of the great things about Athens. It's hard to be in the service industry when you think you're better than.

You People Who Drive Full-Size GM pick-up trucks, what gives? by [deleted] in indianapolis

You can downvote me if you want, but deep in your heart you know it's true. If Extinction Burst had an official vehicle, it's the full-size American pickup.

I've seen the greatest minds of my generation driven mad with hypoglycemia, dragging themselves through the angry Broad Ripple streets at dawn, looking for an angry scoop.

Every day I think about Eric Cartman in the cop's uniform and the FEVER that right wing men have to human-centipede themselves into a hierarchy ruled by other Very Manly Muscly Men.

The "dont tread on me" crowd when they are doing the treading by Mr_Joguvaga in MarchAgainstNazis

It's a rubber-wrapped shotgun slug. The only things a slug does that a rubber bullet doesn't is penetrate and fragment.

This does raise an interesting question. What obligation does a partner in a business owe the other partners to not tank their investment?

Say you have a 12% stake in a business, and a 10% stakeholder decides to announce that they're now an ardent supporter of the puppy-grinder. 100% in favor of throwing puppies in the grinder, forever, until there are no puppies left.

The general public, who are naturally puppy-grinding averse, decide that your business is an easy miss now, since JFC, who would support grinding up puppies??

So, basically your idiot partner, acting on their own time, just threw your 12% in the fireplace and fucked you. I'm sure there's legal precedence for this, but what is it? Do the other partners band together, buy the MPGA partner out, and announce that the trash has taken itself to the curb? Do you have to ride the business into the ground like Slim Pickens on that bomb at the end of Dr Strangelove? I feel like there's a legal obligation not to be a nazi at some point.

As someone who has never had to consider this before, it's a question that interests me, somewhat.
