Lol, okay. Wikipedia and Reuters are not US government owned or even US-based media sources, and the wiki article is well cited by sources all over the globe. The US state department posts are just there as a tl;dr to be honest. But sure, any source that doesn’t align with your personal narrative must be biased propaganda. I note you didn’t actually address the point.
If he was so unpopular, then why did Putin try to assassinate him, then imprison him on fabricated charges with no intent to ever release him? Why couldn’t he just defeat him in a fair election and then ignore him?
Seriously. One of my pet peeves is shoes made with no outsole. Around 10 or 12 years ago a bunch of shoe brands decided they could save money if they stopped making shoes with a hard rubber outsole. Instead they just mold the tread into the soft midsole material. They spent a bunch of money convincing people it was fashionable. Probably a lot cheaper to produce for them. But the shoes wear out insanely fast.
The story says they were in international waters, inside the Japanese economic zone. It’s easy enough to find a map of that area if you need it. What are you implying that they are trying to gloss over?
The mission “Entangled” is basically a truncated version of the plot from Half Life. I won’t go into too many details but the artifact you retrieve is the Lambda artifact (the Half Life logo is the Greek letter lambda) The suit you get as a reward even has orange highlights that are mildly reminiscent of the HEV suit.
I regret putting on the mantis suit. It looks like ass but I didn’t want to give up the extra carry capacity until I had enough points to buff up my weight lifting.
Why the fuck is a public school principal lecturing students on faith and God’s will?
Hard disagree. Up until about 2 years ago, WaPo was one of the most fact-based and politically neutral traditional media outlets available. They were only slightly below AP on the media bias chart. Unfortunately they’ve gone downhill very quickly. I had to cancel my subscription earlier this year because they barely have any news content anymore. All the stories they promote on the front page are editorials.
Actually it was the vaping that got them tossed out. Yeah you read that. Vaping in a theater.
I’d bet good money they were both drunk and /or stoned.
They were frightened for their safety.
Right? Unfortunately this sort of crap happens to female reporters all the time and they don’t usually feel like they can stop reporting to deal with what is essentially an assault. Good job anchor person for calling it out and reassuring her that she had nothing to apologize for.
Okay. But also, if you have a son teach them that women are not objects that owe them sex if they follow some script in their head.
Sorry to hear that. Be assured there are places you can go where you will feel more welcome.
The Better Business Bureau was always a protection racket. Businesses pay (a lot) for membership. If you aren’t a member you can’t respond to complaints and it impacts your business negatively. Members can respond to a complaint and no matter what the response is, or if the customer is satisfied, the complaint gets marked as resolved.
The part of this that I find most interesting is that the city is defending their behavior while the acting police chief all but threw them under the bus.
Pledge, yes. Anthem, no. And legally they can’t force students to participate in the pledge. It’s a violation of their 1st amendment rights. Though I couldn’t say how many students actually know that. Meanwhile there are plenty of teachers and faculty that definitely DON’T know that, and will bully kids who refuse to participate.
They aren’t the ones being targeted.
We use a bottom-up work planning system (scrum). We have a backlog of work items that we (the people doing the work) assign point values to based on how complex we think the work is. Management knows about how many points of work we can complete in a 2 week period, and they decide what items they want done this work period based on their priorities. If we don’t get something done, it slips to the next 2 week sprint. If we get everything done and still have time, we pull additional items from the backlog. So long as the number of points we complete every 2 weeks stays relatively steady they are happy.
I know it’s hard to believe, because I’ve worked other places where it wasn’t like this. But some employers really do respect their employees and try to treat them with dignity and respect.
I will say that occasionally we have looming deadlines and more work to get done than we can normally do. When that happens we will be asked to dig in and work extra hours to get things done. It sucks but it’s also pretty rare. I’ve been with the company for going on 9 years and I think it has happened 3 times, for limited periods, and afterwards management will make it up by giving us time off as compensation. Most of us like working here enough that we don’t mind the occasional brief crunch.
I’m a little confused why this is in the news. First off, it’s just a House Resolution. It’s has no legally binding repercussions. It’s basically the House of Representatives as a group making a statement: “We don’t like anti-Semitism”. The definition of anti-Semitism they decided to point to is the thing that’s really in contention. But again, this affects nobody but the US House of Representatives.
Secondly, the vote on this took place in December. So it seems kind of late to be raging over it.

If you’re in the US and it really bugs you, I’d suggest looking up how your district representative voted and let them know how you feel about it.
