Bro there’s still so many idiots at my workplace working their life away for a stupid card that says “best performer of the month”. I got no problem with that but the issue that I have is they make life hard for guys like me. I know and they know that they can’t afford a shitty 4 bedroom house so why the fuck slave so hard. I really don’t get it
Assuming America it’s because there is a pervasive mentality that the poor here are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires and that through their hard work, they will be restored to their millionaire status. It’s fucking disgusting that companies take advantage of this naivety and sad to see people falling for it. These people grind themselves to dust for a pittance and the reality of the situation rarely hits them.
: “Dear all mimosa lovers, Please drink responsibly and know your limits. A $50 cleaning fees will automatically include in your tap when you throw up in our public areas. Thank you so much for understanding.”
I usually complain about the rise of prices. But $50 to vomit on a table and force another human being to clean your nasty ass biohazard is so stupidly low.
He has long had a reputation for being tempestuous and rude to performers, according to a 2015 Spectator article by the commentator Damian Thompson, who wrote that for all the conductor’s undoubted talent, “one art eludes him: good manners”.
So he was always an a-hole, but this time, he was affected by alcohol and went too far.
If you go during non-peak days and have a general game plan, it’s not that bad. You can get a good amount of ride time going if you time your Fastpasses (they’re free) good enough.
The pricetag, though, that’s on you to decide. I like going, but I wouldn’t go more than, like, once… a decade.
Once was enough for a lifetime for me. I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t really that much better than most amusement parks, and certainly not worth the price to go back. I can say I’ve been, and that’s enough for me.
My family used to go every year when I was growing up, and it just progressively got worse. I can’t imagine how awful an experience it is now in 2023.
It wasn’t nearly as crowded in the years before Fast Pass or whatever the fuck they call it now. It was bearable when Fast Pass was new. But eventually everyone was getting Fast Pass, which defeated the point of it.
I believe Disney shot themselves in the foot with Fastpass. It turned the parks from something you experience and explore, into a checklist and schedule.
Okay, I’ve never been to Disneyland, but I’ve been to Disney World many, many times, and I’ve been to many other theme parks around the US.
It’s sometimes a bit of a crapshoot, but obviously if you go off-season, opening (of the season) day, or weekdays vs weekends, there will be shorter lines. I’ve been to days at Busch Gardens and Six Flags where there were zero lines and the operators would just let you stay on the ride as many times as you wanted. I’ve also been in the “let’s get grandma a wheelchair so we can go to the front of the line for Small, Small World.”
It’s really just whatever floats the collective boats of the folks you’d be bringing. I do have to say, though, that being a little day drunk or a bit stoned at Disney or Universal is amazing but the lines will potentially take much, much longer.
We went to universal studios singapore and stood i a line for hours for a 10 minute ride. It was the best fucking rollercoaster in my life but it wasnt worth it.
Calling Hamas “freedom fighters” is an insult to every real current and past freedom fighter in history of mankind.
Freedom fighters dont choose targets that are exclusively civilian, they don’t hunt down and execute civilians, nit caring about their beliefs or standing. They don’t spread terror among the civilian population. All of these things make the thing they are fighting stronger and puts the rest of the population against them. It’s what terrorists do.
Why do you think people in the zionist government support Hamas?! Because it serves to justify the hanous things the government does against Palestinians as a whole.
Real freedom fighters choose infrastructure, smaller military targets (that are reachable), political assassinations of the government officials they are against, et cetera.
These cause civilian casualties, but the civilian casualties are not the goal, they are the byproduct.
Palestinians deserve so much more than Hamas, but Hamas won’t let them choose. They silence or kill anyone who disagrees with them, be it Israeli of Palestinian.
There is no such thing as “real freedom fighters” War is not a moral thought experiment.Terrorism is at the end of the day a a military strategy. Which freedom figheters, militas and regular armiees use all the time.
It would be if using or not using terror would be orthogonal to success in war. War is a zero-sum game and you simply can’t throw out anything giving advantage - you’ll be punished by evolution, as simple as that.
Unless you are in some artificial situation where rules of war are respected and if they are not you are punished by neutral sides. Sadly our era doesn’t have any such mechanism despite all the declarations. It’s not Frederic the Great’s time.
This particular sentence is not entirely correct, as it implies that freedom fighters can’t use terror tactics and thus be terrorists.
Say, if some Armenian force (there are none that’d have the balls) would bomb the Mingechaur dam, the pipes and infrastructure going through Tovuz, other smaller hydroelectric objects etc in Azerbaijan, - these would be actions aimed at fighting for freedom, but very important part of their effect would be terror.
In some way any violent activity aimed at denying someone their feeling of safety is terrorism. Like, say, allied bombing campaign of Germany (its goals were even formulated like that).
I agree that Hamas are not freedom fighters, their ideology is pretty Nazi.
There is again difference between blowing up a strategic dam and attacking a concert full of civilians.
First can have some actual strategic importance, cutting out energy, interrupting travel, et cetera.
It causes terror and civilian causalities, but that is again, a byproduct. If the latter is greater than the former it doesn’t add to the revolutionary goal, I would argue it damages it and causes more harm than good for the group.
Second is pure terror, it serves no purpose for the group, vilianizes them to the public and makes the government they are fighting against stronger.
Any action that doesn’t help with a revolutionary goal or even detracts from it, is useless.
Any action with no strategic importance and only creating terror is not only evil, but harms the group more then it helps.
There is a massive difference between terrorism and freedom fighting.
I am not saying freedom fighting groups don’t do terrorism, we dont live in a perfect world. What I am saying that terrorism has no benefits and only harms not only the innocent but also the group commiting it.
She did clarify that she was talking about Palestinian civilians filming the missile attacks on civilian homes and such, calling them freedom fighters for documenting atrocities
Jesus would not condone modern day Christianity but that is not the point. Everyone knows what modern Christianity is about, and prudishness is definitely part of their ideal. If this girl applied for a Christian scholarship, she had to have known at least that much about the religion.
But a good lesson to learn from this story is stop posting anything on social media. Just live your life. If you wanna twerk, do it. No need to show the whole world.
She was in the background of the video, dancing while a different girl in the foreground was twerking. Did you even read the article? So just never go outside and dance ever because someone might record you dancing near someone else twerking and post it? Wtf kind of victim blaming is this? It doesn’t say she applied for a christian scholarship either.
Twerking’s demeaningly ridiculous. Like stripper, yeah, respectable. Stripping’s sexy, it’s alluring. Twerking’s just a somewhat athletically impressive display of how fast can you can convulse your pelvis.
Describing twerking as “sexy” is like someone doing a motorboat on your dick while you wag it bippidy-bippidy up and down across their lips, then trying to sell that as a passionate seduction scene in a romance novel.
Interesting that Zoom is not making an attempt to build features that increase trust, enable innovation and encourage robust debates in their app. Seems like a missed opportunity.
Perhaps a C-suite with a healthy sense of the product’s niche could be seen as a feature. Having a target market that’s too wide is bad for product coherence.
It’s impossible to implement a feature that prevents employees from recording the zoom meetings when the boss is abusive robustly debating their employees.
To avoid headaches with HR, we’re going to need you to come into the office so your boss can feel more free to robustly debate you from time to time.
If Donald Trump goes to prison, he would likely go to a federal prison. Conjugal visits are not a federal right, so Trump would not enjoy conjugal visits with Melania.
this would honestly make more sense if it was just a labelled empty jar, but when they put actual sauce in it stops being a novelty item and starts being food, and 13 bucks for a jar of sauce is hilarious
That’s most of the establishment. Even new money people are mostly crooks. And then you get people like Rowling who make money honestly and join the far right cult of the wealthy.
Definitely a lot of them. Our world has a problem with morality. It’s not ok to cross a red light but it is okay to have made millions working for the nazis somehow (for example). I don’t care about the jk rowlings of this world. Being a dumbfuck is not morally bankrupt but using slave labor definitely is and even has been when it was legal.
Terry Pegula was born and raised in Pennsylvania. Then he moved to NY. Super southern. This is also not a direct quote from him. Someone that is suing the NFL is claiming Terry said this. But don’t let the facts get in the way of your outrage.
Imagine if religious fundamentalism wasn’t acceptable for a statesman. What a crazy modern world we could be living in.
Although I guess in the case of the US, the country was founded out of religious fundamentalism in its entirely, and from a clean slate. Much more difficult to untangle it.
Some of them, especially during the colonies founding, and especially up north. Jefferson, for example, was a deist though, which believes God (the one from the Bible) exists, but he doesn’t interact with anything.
only some of the people were fundamentalists running from people who didn’t let them be fundamentalist, they also had a great many wars with the government because of it
Anabaptists had an end-time cult, took over cities, instituted religious law, legalized polygamy for their leaders, and publicly beheaded their opponents. They were basically the ISIS of their day.
You’re both right. Though the diests tended to be the ones more in the government itself. We had our fair share of fundamentalists to fundamental for back home.
If Joe Biden is reelected in 2024 he will be 86 at the end of his second term.
Last week Trump, who is 77, was mentioned in […]
Curious that the author can’t use the same scale to talk about their ages. They’re only 3.5 years apart in age, but phrasing it this way makes it feel like a lot more.
