I didn’t move here to be told how to live my life.

You kinda did though…Texas has a long history of dictating what people can and can’t do. They’re great at PR, but they never liked when anybody is or does something they don’t agree with.

Lawrence v. Texas was the exact case that made it illegal for Texas to kick doors down and arrest consenting adults for what they do in their bedrooms. Prior to that, cops could kick your shit in if they even suspected you were practicing anything but straight sex in the missionary position if they felt like it.

Yeah man, that Thomas Jefferson guy was a real unhinged fuckwad.

What country before ever existed a century & a half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.

Most people with jobs do have to open office documents frequently.

I work in IT and hit Spam on everything I perceive as spam.

Poison all the data and fuck spammers straight to hell, tyvm.

Republicans don’t care if you can’t use your fans, they only care that you keep buying them.

We are only consumers to feed corporate profits in their equations.

A few versions ago they removed the ability to tear a tab out of the IDE to have it open separately.

WTF why? Do XCode devs not use their own product or something???

That’s…worse in a lot of ways. Mercury compounds are way way fucking bad and are even more dangerous than “just” straight elemental mercury.

Typically as a vapor, even. And it has a fairly low vapor pressure for a liquid. Not even that much vapor is needed.

It’s an immense amount of liquid mercury - especially since it probably had organic compounds in it too. Bioavailable mercury is truly fucked stuff, and those responsible for this should live the rest of their lives in a chemical shed.

“We gotta cool the oceans down, that’s why I support nuking them!”

-Coming soon from the party that suggested nuking hurricanes

So…Biden castrated the railroad union and it’s now functionally pointless. Any union that cannot strike or perform its own negotiations is a paper tiger.

It’s not better if your master stops his friend from beating you and throws a scrap from the table. All he did was remind the unions and employees who the master is. Next time they’ll be just as dependent, if not more so, on government intervention.

Railroads now know they never have to negotiate again.

Agreed.

Under a Democrat: “We have to respect the rule of law, the court made a decision and now we have to abide by it.”

Under a Republican: “The court has made its decision, now it is up to them to enforce it.”

Democrats are truly spineless - they don’t even play the same game and removed about losing constantly. Fuck this “honor in politics” shit, the fascists are winning.

Who, other than a kid in school, would willingly spend time with someone who “holds shit over your head”?

When that person is your parent. We don’t all get to choose nice and supporting families.

My mother would do that. I don’t tell her anything beyond how the weather is anymore.

Is something wrong with Gorillaz now? Demon Days was the shit.

Deloitte staff don’t act totally dead inside (from my experience). EY staff, though, act like they’ve looked inside the abyss and it stared right back at them. That place must be one soulless meat grinder of a business factory.

Japan is almost uniquely bad though. A super aged population and a society that values conformance over anything else results in agonizingly slow and absurd government reactions.

They need 4 committee meetings each morning just to drink tea: one for to pick the teams, one team meeting to pick the tea, and another team meeting to pick the cup. There’s a final meeting at the end to discuss the costs associated with the tea and how to more properly distribute it according to rank and social standing, as one does.

They don’t need to sell to realize gains - they take out loans against the stock value from banks for almost no interest. If they choose to, they could get large amounts of that paper gain in liquid cash through just a handful of steps.

*billionaires.

There are millionaires just from buying a house for $150k in the right city in the 90s. Doesn’t make them evil.

Cows can be raped?

Do we send cow rapists to cow jail? If a cow is in a field with a bull, do we arrest the bull pre- or post- mount?

I see the metaphor - it is a “crossing the rubicon” type of action.

It is called the 80-20 rule for a reason…
