Dating my now wife. The company refused to admit that was the reason. My bosses boss, who called to notify me of my termination while I was home sick, gave me some weird spiel about me “overstepping my authority” and refused to elaborate further. But I’m 99% sure that was why even though we violated no official company policies, because my [now] wife was fired on the same day. They took a really dim (albeit unwritten) view of dating between employees. Even ones that worked in different departments, at different offices.

Ironically, VP’s banging their secretaries on the side, with everyone knowing, was apparently fine.

Didn’t really matter. They kept telling me to do things that I considered unethical and I kept telling them “no” so it wasn’t going to last. They lost a good employee. I got a good wife. As far as I’m concerned, I came out on top.

We’re talking about a guy who managed to run multiple casinos into the ground. Casinos. Businesses which at their core consists of people handing you money and you getting to keep between 25-50% of it on average.

On top of that, he was laundering gobs of money through them (the Taj Mahal for sure) and still couldn’t manage to keep them afloat.

Running the Federal Government like it was part of the Trump Organization was one of the few promises he actually kept and boy does it show.

We don’t need to live in space. Space is not naturally habitable by humans. We just need to stop fucking up the one planet that is.

One of the best things about maturing – which often comes with but is not guaranteed by age – is learning to be comfortable with yourself. Teenagers tend to spend a lot of their emotional energy clamoring for approval from peers, not yet aware that it’s really their own approval they need.

This unfulfilled need can lead teens to do or say all kinds of silly or even hurtful things. Some teens grow into adults without ever learning how to love themselves. I don’t think that’s the case for most people. Just a small minority but you may encounter them in the workplace from time to time.

It’s also worth noting that psychologists believe around 10% of the population suffers from some type of personality disorder, most of them undiagnosed. I’m reasonably certain that I’ve encountered at least a few of these people in my career.

Well unfortunately the President of the United States is bad at business and the Republicans are …Republicans. The only thing that matters to either are rich people.

“Attention KMart Shoppers!”

I remember a group of whack jobs getting upset with Dolly Parton for promoting COVID vaccines when they first became available.

Anyone who has a problem with Dolly Parton can go fuck themselves with a cactus.

“Partnered” is such a bizarre word to use to mean, “I read a recipe”. Even if that recipe was regurgitated in the most inefficient way possible.

Imagine people in the past saying shit like, “I wanted to bake a pie so I partnered with Betty Crocker.”

Oh really Brenda? You “partnered” with Betty Crocker? And what exactly did Betty do to help? Oh. That’s right. Nothing. Because she’s not an actual person, just a branded cookbook. Maybe make sure more of the rum makes it in the pie next time.

I wonder if this is part of the reason why Cox stopped listing their small business plans and prices online.

And then there’s the “promotional discount” that expires after a year or two, requiring you to call back in and threaten to cancel your service before they’ll give you back the same price you were already paying. It helps if you actually have other ISP options.

I also think you should not be allowed to abandon your copper infrastructure without offering a replacement. AT&T refuses to offer new DSL service even if they have an old POTS line connected to your house because “we don’t do DSL anymore” but I guarantee they would have a problem with it if I ripped their pedistal out of my front yard.

How dare you! President Trump has ended over seven thousand wars since the beginning of his second term. He also single handedly eliminated human trafficking, poverty, all illnesses, and climate change (which is still a liberal hoax). If that were not enough, our dear leader sacrificed himself to defeat Thanos which the low energy avengers were too weak to do. He then raised himself from the dead, ascending like a Phoenix from the ashes and returning to grace us with his wonderful benevolence for the rest of our days.

Praise be.

There’s the tarrifs and theres the bizarre anti-renewable energy sentiment harbored by the current administration.

Personally, I think that’s just coming from power utilities pushing the idea that, “it’s cool if WE build a solar array but it’s not cool if YOU do it.”

I’m going to assume Cornpone (which is basically fried cornbread pancakes) came first and that’s where Al Capp borrowed the name from.

while rich people can be reckless spenders.

In the late 1800’s, the Vanderbilt’s were one of the wealthiest families in the world. Right up until they each blew their respective shares of the family fortune by doing shit like building houses that they couldn’t afford to maintain.

I served on the board of a Section 8 housing authority for a number of years.

You would be amazed at the number of people who don’t understand that leases are legally binding contracts and there are actual, enforceable consequences for violating the conditions of it.

“You guys can’t evict me.”

“Uhhh, yeah, we can. It just so happens that hording 30 cats in your house and letting them soak every inch of the place with piss is a violation of the terms of your lease.”

In our case it’s because her mom and I watch Cheers as one of our “default” shows (i.e. there’s nothing else to watch).

K’NEX. I used to build all kinds of cool stuff out of those when I was a kid.

My three year old can sing part of the theme song. I’m so proud.

🎶Sometimes you want to go, where everybody knows your name…🎶

The only Confederate general that deserves a statue is me.

That’s them there liberal talking points from Democrat Jesus.
