I counted stuff. Worked in a paper products warehouse doing daily inventory counts. It was kind of awesome since I got to walk around, BS with some friends that had other jobs in the warehouse, and developed boss-level skills with the number pad that I still apply today. After working the summer there, I was pretty glad my first couple applications in food service got rejected.

I hold my work laptop like this around the office specifically for the “fuck this place” vibe

What about Biden? He’s not going to Don Jr’s wedding either. Why isnt the media reporting on that?

Yeah, dumbshits may not even deport you back to your home country. You from Egypt? Maybe just put you on this plane to El Salvador. Close enough, right?

Talking out of turn… that’s a paddling.

Martin, right? I will accept that I may have misunderstood the joke.

I dont know the historical approval ratings of leaders of Germany and France at various points in their terms, but not sure if this is an “apples to apples” comparison. Macron won 28% of the vote in the first round, and Merz had something like 24%. Your point may be fair, but Trump won 49.8% of the vote in his last election, so the decline looks a lot more dramatic.

Let’s have multiple reboots going at the same time. I think it would be great to have like three reboots of Jurassic Park going at the same time with different directors. I want to see a full length Wes Anderson take on the film, but also a Zach Snyder take and maybe a Danny Boyle take competing on the same weekend.

I kinda want to go other direction.

Dice Hard

Do you mean like if an alien just showed up on my doorstep and was like, “take me to your leader”? Because I would ask, “How about we just chill here for a bit?” because nothing good is going to come from the next part.

Mitch McConnel could beat Trump in a physical fight, and really should.

I thought the “one unpaid advisor” line sounded like bullshit, but if Tommy pushed on that, maybe he could just bring in that advisor for an interview

My guess after listening to the gaslighting little shithead was that the report probably showed that all views under the big tent can’t be equally served to deliver a Democrat victory, so he’s going to pull the same shit of telling one group of voters that the Dems will deliver for them, while telling another group that the Dems will deliver something mutually exclusive of the first group. It sounded like Martin was trying to pander by delivering only what “lessons” he thought each group of organizers needed to hear to win their block of voters without entertaining the idea that Favreau was suggesting that maybe we need to have the messy debate about whether the DNC platform can hold everyone’s positions (and by “everyone” i just mean enough voters to win an election). Or maybe Martin is just a simple man.

What is the answer to life the universe and everything? You know, just for confirmation.

“Awww, ya got me! Hehe”

Going to be checking Google maps for the Gulf of America Iran in the morning.

Yeah, firefighters are in the same class as lifeguards. They’re protecting people from forces of nature, and don’t have any ideology that is central to their work other than “save lives”.

What, with like an auto-pen or something?

Thanks for the response. I phrased the original question rather poorly, but I was glad to learn a bit about the FIDE World Cup. I hope for the safety of this year’s Cadidates’ tournament.

Thank you. A few of the responses made me realize that I didn’t phrase the question very well initially. I appreciate the response, and I think the sentiment you shared is at the center of my question.
