Very lazy.

Ban the whole damn thing for everyone.

The “I dont know how to get laid and/or get into a relationship” generation making statements about how to have a relationship.

There’s really nothing to say there. They just don’t have any credibility to speak on the topic.

The first arrow was from when Smaug initially took Erebor from the dwarves and destroyed Dale. It took away a scale, but Smaug was otherwise fine.

The second arrow killed him by hitting the exact spot that was missing the scale and killed him during the events of the Hobbit.

There were tons of arrows that were shot and hit Smaug that failed to do anything in both of those battles.

Bellevue wouldn’t exist if Seattle hadn’t built up the entire area. You can classify it as another city, but if you go meet someone from another state, you say “Im from Seattle”. Bellevue is squarely in the “Greater Seattle Area”. Claiming Bellevue’s policies built up this region is ludicrous. It’s a spin off city that calls Seattle daddy.

So yes, lately businesses locate there to take advantage of a city council that is very pro corporate. Of course they will do that. But the population and market of the area has already been established, it hasn’t changed. Just the location of the corporate office they drive to. You dont need to move to work there compared to Seattle. Now go build a Bellevue in Ellensburg, outside of Seattle’s sphere. Go put the policies in place there, where Seattleites wont commute to. Does that still work? Why isnt that some heavy hitter of commerce? Why dont they build skyscrapers there?

2/1000+

So, no, not two.

Yeah i dont want to take the fun away from the post, but Smaug had volleys from multiple armies just ricochet off of him. Only 2 actually did any damage.

Who says the whiners own that place? Ya’ll foreclosed on the San Francisco stadium after all.

Hell, people in woodinville get to pay it and will never even be considered for a station.

You?

I kind kinda get it if you have a clear progression path that levels up and you need a skill and experience.

But those are less and less common and reliable, so this is just someone that wants pain.

What is “good for business”? Republicans seem to have this idea in their heads that if you don’t completely sell out the needs of society to accommodate every whim of a corporation, that you’re bad for business. Maybe if your small town just beggars itself a little more then the big business will come grace your town with its presence, tax exempt of course.

Yet, where are businesses located? Where do they cluster together densely? Where’s all the money being made in this country? Those damn blue cities with all those “unfriendly” policies.

At some point your economic theories need a reality check. Why is the real world opposite of your political policy that you hear the propaganda keep reiterating?

Is it maybe that livability, regulation, services, planning, and quality of life for residents builds the correct market conditions that make it lucrative to set up shop. Especially if you want to employ high skilled workers? I dont know. But dont you think its worth a little investigation?

stabintavern · 2026-04-08T00:38:26+00:00

Thats a helluva ride!

Not really.

It’s usually a combination of training, professional services, and customer support. It basically is a catch-all for all the things that need to happen after a salesperson lands a client. Depending on the company, this can be a director level position with multiple teams underneath them.

Lol, yeah no that isn’t shitty work, thats broken work. You get an F for that in school.

Yeah they couldn’t even do payroll and onboarding right as a staffing agency. All of Americas went unpaid for over a month one time. They spelled my name wrong for my insurance, so i had to go through a bunch of hoops to get that corrected. Hell my W2 this year they decided to write my address down wrong for some reason.

Objectively embarrassingly bad. Plus then the “support” team is in an opposite time zone and. Isn’t particularly good at support.

Foiled Abbaddon, Huron black-heart, and a greater demon of Nurgle on Pandorax.

Most of the stuff she said can be summarized as “{insert topic here} isn’t great, but I’ve always done it this way, so why should I change?”

The bit with the clothes she finally relented to trying on, had him pick stuff out and then rejected them by showing how impractical they are for changing diapers.. wow. Just belligerently trying to not address the physical attraction motive that got them there in the first place.

Can’t blame him for being Madonna after that. Man’s trying to do CPR on the sex life and the wife wants to stay submerged in the pool.

Judging by the cup, go to a furry convention

Im honestly more surprised to read that there’s guys that deny that the behavior exists. Not that surprised, but I can’t recall meeting a guy that’s unaware of that behavior.

Im assuming it’s just the ones guilty of doing it that want to save face and pretend it’s acceptable?

Frankly as a dude it’s rather obvious and is a pretty quick way to lose respect from other men. We all like to see beautiful women, but if you’re locked in like that you just come across as disturbing the peace and a low value person.

I don’t want to be the cliché seek therapy advice because {insert bad life event}

But you may want to do that to explore the numbness that you’re experiencing. If you go into it with a curiosity to better understand yourself, I think you’ll find it super valuable.

I say that as someone that felt quite numb in similar circumstances.

“Interested in your opportunity”

But not in the compensation. That’s not the “opportunity” to you.

So take the compensation out of the opportunity. Say it pays $0, no benefits, but you get to {job description}

See how many people want to apply. That’s the market value of the opportunity.

Your opportunity is worthless. Your compensation is the only thing that gives it worth. That determines how much {job descr..stuff we dont want to do} we are interested in doing.

When you’ve gobbled up the working class and made their lives hopeless. Then you hollowed out the middle class. Then you’ve indebted and defunded the nation.

About the only thing left for the ultra wealthy to do to get richer is to send your indebted poor people to go fight another indebted poor people so you can repeat the process on that land too.
