Outside of America, buying a gun at all is rather grounds for evaluation. Inside America, it's still mental but #theConstitution.

You say that like that's not a feature.

You want proof no state can secede?

We had a rapey embarrassment running the show like a drunk circus marshall and California didn't peace out.

The moment Texas takes its ball and goes home, California becomes its own independent country and Oregon starts whispering to Washington about the pretty girl next door.

Now [I don't know] [what the fuck] she actually said on that podcast

Here's a thought.

because the reporter didn't press her on it or quote her,

Not a requirement when the interviewer knows of it and the audience should too.

[but] if she did contradict herself then it's the reporter [who] fumbled

The reporter doesn't make her say one thing one day and another thing the next (with no explanation for the volte-turn). She's done that all her own, but for someone to point out the obvious and land her in the hot seat of her own waffling creation.

Flip-flopping used to be a death knell for a campaign: John Kerry, Julia Jilliard, Gordon Brown, and some Toole from Canada, all lost because they couldn't be consistent.

While she is the least-bad option for the degenerates she'd lead, this kind of stupidity could end her career at the helm like it almost did George HW 'no new taxes' Bush.

Deers

Not a word.

... And a 20% reduction in kids cheating in that class.

That's a win.

make this a teachable moment

A person's character is built at home. If you're an adult in secondary school and can't figure out not to cheat, better hope you get a warning and understand THAT's the only teachable moment you're going to get.

The prof has neither the time or opportunity to fill in where your up-bringing was incomplete . Uni is the first place we learn that the universe doesn't have a lot of patience for the laggards.

So, like a senpai.

France has an authority for their language and its three main domestic dialects.

It'd be nice if a similar but global body gate-kept the drift in English. The current system where high-school cliques decides what's Fetch and Mirriam-Webster's monkeys just write it all down with no cohesion is not a basis for progress.

Language people: English has surprising inconsistencies.

Also language people: 'literally' now also means its exact opposite because Ashley said so.

At this point I'm only hoping to emerge from the other side of the "based" fad although I've never understood what it meant. WTaF is "brain pilled"?

Groovy. Tubular. Fetch.

... For now ....

Let's talk about the vaccines the child does not have.

And then we'll realize the paperwork issue may be moot before too many years.

If Sundar can take Google and destroy it like this, can we find when he was on the apprentice or was that all deleted scenes?

I'm in a union for my day job.

It's big. It's steeped in processes and safety checks, but it makes fewer mistakes and quietly wins.

Would recommend a union every day.

Some situations look more favourable in the rearview, yes.

cut the important staff first

Tell us your management are idiots without using those words.

The "dead sea effect" is detailed as a thing to avoid; your management seems to want to wade in it.

could so naive

Did you a word?

I was in this a few years back at a dotcom: too many tickets.

I'd have weekly meets with my boss where I just said "order these, and understand the bottom third may never get done".

And I'd confirm the ordering in email so it was written down.

It helped when someone would ask "hey what's with the Penske File" and I could say "Marty said I have this other stuff to do first. Sorry man."

It kept me alive longer than two of my peers, anyway. But I eventually left because Marty was a challenge to work with and life's too short to get blindsided.

Ha ha ha ! If it's not possible, then it's not soon!
