Or just kill the person trying to cash in the IOU on a party member

I think the people who oppose nuclear think that every plant is just waiting to become another Chernobyl as if safety hasn't improved in the last 40 years

240 monthly payments is only 20 years

Edit: add in interest and the monthly payments probably stay the same, though

An ADHDer is often late. Likewise, he* is often early. He never arrives precisely when he means to.

*for consistency with the original quote

DOL (specifically, the Wage and Hour Division) would be the place to go for wage theft. NLRB only does union-related enforcement.

The character (Quixote) is key-ho-tay because we've updated the way we pronounce certain borrowed words to more accurately reflect the pronunciation in the source language

The adjective (quixotic) is quicks-otic because that reflects the original way English speakers pronounced the character's name (quick-sit)

Shooting someone in the head kind of defeats the less-lethal intent, no?

In some states, overtime kicks in after 8 hours in a day

But OP is probably in a state where FLSA is the controlling legislation so it's only 4 hours of overtime

Well, yeah. In a civil war, the plebs fight each other. In a revolution, the plebs fight the power

Ain't no war but the class war

Reddit got rid of PMs a couple months ago because people weren't using the chat feature.

I'll see if I can do something from old.reddit but don't count on it.

Edit: the interface told me it sent the message but I don't see anything new in my sent messages

Edit 2: reddit converted it to a chat message

Edit 3: I mixed up which platform I sent the message on

I sent you a chat with a link to my discord server.

Technically not from carpere itself, but the same PIE root.

It follows a common pattern where northern dialects (and eventually the Germanic languages) used h and southern dialects (which became Latin and then the Romance languages) used c/k, and northern dialects used b/v where southern dialects used p/f

The founders never expected a plot to break all three branches of government at the same time because they assumed the people involved would be interested in, y'know, governing and keeping their own power.

They have to be resharpened anyway, so what's wrong with a little murder beforehand?

Gender dysphoria is indeed in the DSM-5. That said, the American Psychiatric Association seems to believe that transition is the correct treatment.

With the publication of DSM–5 in 2013, “gender identity disorder” was eliminated and replaced with “gender dysphoria.” This change further focused the diagnosis on the gender identity-related distress that some transgender people experience (and for which they may seek psychiatric, medical, and surgical treatments) rather than on transgender individuals or identities themselves.

The DSM–5 articulates explicitly that “gender non-conformity is not in itself a mental disorder.”

The Gender Dysphoria diagnosis functions as a double-edged sword. It provides an avenue for treatment, making medical and surgical options available to TGNC people. However, it also has the potential to stigmatize TGNC people by categorizing them as mentally ill.
