  • You don’t deserve better than others.

    Could not agree more. That kind of thing is part of the problem if you ask me. We have this culture where people are expected to genuflect to cops and military. I don’t think they deserve less, depending on how they do their job. I just don’t understand why it’s expected that military and cops should be treated better. Why? If anything, I think we should be thanking caregivers and teachers, etc. for their service…

    I realize stories like this are meant to humanize the situation for a lot of normies as to just what Taco and Pee Wee German are doing to this country, but…it is a bit cloying to see that entitlement aspect.









  • As an example of the new policy, OPM said that during a break one employee can engage another “in polite discussion of why his faith is correct and why the non-adherent should rethink his religious beliefs." The employee should stop if the “nonadherent” colleague asks him to, according to the guidance.

    I think the “non-adherent” should be given as much time to rebut the person bothering them in the first place. Something like, “hey ding-a-ling, here is why your book club is false and the one true way is the Church of the Subgenius because…”






  • Co-worker of mine thought it was a real big “get” to call MSNBC “MSLSD”. I think he about blew a gasket when I told him I wasn’t all that interested in corporate/conservative news outlets like “MSLSD”, either.

    It genuinely bothered him that I didn’t give a rat’s ass about trying to defend MSNBC and that I didn’t get outraged by his constant parroting of something he picked up from Bullshit Mountain. Same went for him calling Rachel Maddow “Madcow”. It’s funny to watch how much these people calling everyone else “snowflakes” have meltdowns when others don’t play the game they imagined was going to happen…we don’t tend to be in a cult like these gomers.

    So yeah, this douchenozzle calling a paper reporting embarrassing news about him “Woklahoman” tracks…




  • I happen to have known lots of the self-medicating type of “stoners” over the years and weed is basically their superpower. Many/most of them are actually overachievers.

    The Hollywood stereotype of people doing bong hits and then doing nothing but playing video games and eating bad fast food I guess exists for a reason, but there are many that don’t fit that mold…I don’t think you want to piss them off either, though, since daily use is how they found a way to keep themselves sane and maintain a very high level of productivity.

    I knew more than a few body builders during university that would wake and bake and then go hit the gym for many hours. I asked one of them how or why they came across this and many swore it game them more energy, more focus for getting in the zone. He also mentioned Arnold smoked up back in the day, so they figured it would do no harm.



  • Part of me wishes there was a legitimate way to report questionable porn that didn’t involve morality police who think all porn is inherently bad…… (edit: no part of me wants that job lol, just to be clear, oh god those poor workers who have to do that shit)

    I know someone that works somewhere (involved with police enforcement) and there are people that have to review content for CP as part of their job. He said they are instructed to do things like turn the screen sideways, turn down the sound, and so on so that it’s not as scarring. I think after X hours of doing such work, they have to Y hours of counseling.

    I told him there is no way in hell I have the the wiring where I could do such a job, though I’m thankful someone is able to do it. If I did have to do such a job, I’d probably have to have like 24 hours of counseling for 1 hour on the job…

    I imagine the job for private companies is just as daunting, but my guess is that it has less oversight to protect the worker from psychological damage…
