The C-level staff are just going to use this to justify bonuses in the face of poor quality and faltering sales. They never pass up a scape goat. Bastards.
Rep. Matt Gaetz introduced legislation that would end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. Currently, the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to all born in the U.S., including children of undocumented immigrants and those on temporary visas. However, Gaetz claims this has enabled fraud and...
They can't think this would withstand legitimate supreme court scrutiny. Though with the current court maybe they've got a longterm plan to delegitimize the supreme court entirely. Can't make heads or tails of these antics. Given current events and the state of the climate it's hard to believe any of these institutions think they'll be around long. Guess everyone's just clowning for the cheap seats at this point.
Pretty sure ol Pooty was just telling that caller in and anyone involved that they're about to fall out a window or spend some quality time in a labor camp.
That look, those facial gymnastics, those words. He was pissed.
Hope they get away with it. Fuck that asshole.
They have warned about this before, but it’s still pretty wild to think they’re now removing old DMs (and chats, but it’s not like anyone used those)....
A church that believes in drinking blood as a part of their sacrament calling civilian deaths a 'harvest' is sure an interesting look.
I mean the IDF is fucked and the situation they've caused in Gaza is a humanitarian catastrophe. But, this feels like he's whining that someone else's blood god is stealing all the blood.
Are there marks left behind on the floor from the fire and dead animal? Yeah? So, you're telling me this 30x30 foot stone room with a flame trap has never been set off before? My familiar is the first creature to die in there? Whoever built it never tested it? Because burn marks on surfaces would have been something special about the room... Now, give me back my familiar and DM better.
If your teacher was new in their classroom that year, there was usually some drawer they'd barely ever opened that was full of these and no one was going to miss a few.

A few days ago I downvoted someone's comment, and the next day I happened to notice every single comment I've ever made had at least one downvote. All from the person I dared to downvote the ONE time. I straight up asked why they did it, and they seem to think I'm an "obvious" troll account that "apparently just exist to...
try to explain your downvotes, or, better yet, voice your disagreement and have a discussion without relying on downvotes to express yourself. Use your words.
when you feel it necessary and that using your words isn't working, upvote/boost everyone but the person in question. Realize downvotes don't really do what you'd hoped and are a poor crutch and means of expression. Elevate what you do agree with. Worry less about what you don't.
just don't care about internet points. As others have said and covered extensively.
Hopefully, what remains is that conversations are important. Having an outlet for undescribed/unformed/ambiguous disagreement/dissent really doesn't add anything to anything for anyone. Making a point or saying something correct is more valuable than shooting down those you find to be incorrect. And, ultimately, it's not just what you think that matters. The consensus of the group and the conversation that gets them there, the experience and the interchange and the community itself are all much more valuable than the destination of a single conversation.
Edit: (And, for the record, while I disagree with your assessment, I've boosted and upvoted your thread, because I think the conversations being had here are valuable and worth seeing by more people.)
