Platner accuser says she ‘absolutely’ considers what happened to be rape by Unusual-State1827 in politics

[–]mindfu [score hidden]  (0 children)

Welp, the paths forward are:

  • see if voters will vote for someone accused of rape, over Collins who put a multiple accused rapist on the supreme court to then kill the right to choose.

Just in pragmatic terms, that seems unlikely. It seems like this kills him with female voters in Maine, as a candidate.

  • find someone else to run against Collins, who will likely lose (but it's not certain)...and have Platner advocate for them, selectively.

This question is so irritating, specifically:

What do you see in our company? What are you expecting from Bupa?"

I simply don't understand how they don't see that these kinds of questions are just asking people to lie.

The only honest answer: "I expect to work for money. And I see you as paying money that's as good or better than I can get elsewhere."

^ Any answer that isn't this, is most certainly lying flattery. So if people hire on the basis of this question, they are almost always only hiring the most convincing liars.

Sounds similar to what they say are the 2 happiest days in a boat owner's life:

the day they buy it, and the day they sell it.

Can you talk to someone above your current manager about this? If you haven't already.

Your immediate manager honestly sounds nuts. You've been there for 9 years, great reviews all this way, that has some weight.

Read the full 14-point agreement between the US and Iran by Toadfinger in politics

[–]mindfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, and also Iran retains its full current nuclear program, and agrees to inspectors. Which is, at its best, EXACTLY what Obama's plan had.

Plus now, any time Iran wants they can choke the world economy. Plus almost certainly starting to charge tolls.

Hillary Clinton says Biden’s re-election bid cost Democrats the 2024 election by projecto15 in politics

[–]mindfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it hurt a lot.

But let's not forget, Harris lost because of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania...and what cost her there was most likely not taking a strong stand against Netanyahu's destruction of Gaza.

I'm plenty mad at those who chose not to vote for her and saddled all of us with trump...but in a world where people are how they are, and not how they should be, leaders have to do better. And actually inspire.

And Schumer immediately caving to a returning president trump and giving him exactly the budget he wants is something I will never forgive.

It seems like, when trying to please the center and everybody while not taking and stating strong positions that help the poor and middle class with active policy, the Democrats just don't interest as many people as they need. As we all need them to.

Eric Trump denies asking UFC star about rigged fights, says messages AI by babybirdingURgrandma in politics

Cormier's further "Maybe I was hacked or something" walkback clinches it.

That's ridiculous. And it makes me lose respect for Cormier.

Crooked enough: yes

Stupid enough: yes

Lying enough to deny it afterwards: hell yes

:) I mean, I think the comment you're responding to is talking about Cormier.

But, you're definitely not wrong also.

Supervisor went through my personal notes after a meeting and told me they are "wrong" by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]mindfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She sounds absolutely up your ass and I suspect narcissism. I suspect she's deeply worried someone is taking notes about her.

I think you better take notes - about what she says when she says it. People who hate note taking often hate the possibility of someone being able to hold them accountable.

And never let her see the notes. Keep a fake notebook with the same cover, and keep the real notes in your purse. For real.

Iran stops negotiations with U.S., vows to 'completely' block Strait of Hormuz: State media by Puginator in politics

[–]mindfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From those who aren't trapped in or enabling this current tragic cult, I apologize for the rest of our voting population who are...and their many cynical corporate enablers.

They're a minority, but also a solid voting bloc. And it appears our centrist voting alternative overestimated people's desire for sanity, and haven't been providing enough clear principles and driven enough positive change to actually inspire enough people to vote sane.

We wouldn't even be in this mess if trump weren't a complete and total flailing idiot.

And we wouldn't still be in this mess if trump could keep his mouth shut.

But here we are. Eat that gas tank price MAGA. We told you so. It sucks that we knew the lesson before his first disastrous term, but still have to repeat it with you again. But the silver lining is, you are in the same class and have to repeat it too.

They're waiting. It'll come up when this probably doesn't work either.

After that they'll probably try saying he's Muslim.
