I would bet good money that when we’re closer to November and one of them drops out we’ll see a bunch of Republican money pouring into the campaign of whichever one is left. They want to split the Dem vote and install a Republican. Failing that, they prefer to work with an establishment Democrat than someone who can prove there’s a better way.
This is exactly it. I’m glad you could explain it better than I could. I still don’t understand it necessarily, but I don’t understand a lot of what I lived so I’ll survive.
I mean I really only solved it by having accounts I don’t look at (emergency fund, retirement), accounts I use regularly (bill pay, “entertainment”) and an accountant who helped me set it up so I wasn’t spending every dime. It can be done by yourself but I wasn’t psychologically prepared. I’m also the only employee of my LLC so there’s a business account but it’s just taxes, my salary, and enough for a new computer every few years. That’s not my account and I never personally touch it.
I was planning on a good afternoon of crying anyway.
Struggling taught me that if I don’t use my money right now it’ll be gone.
And I’m not saying that to contradict you. It’s funny how different people learn different lessons from the same experience. I grew up dirt poor. If I didn’t spend my money as a kid it might be called upon. And that’s the lesson I took for years. I didn’t really start saving seriously until I was closing in on 40. I have money in retirement now (and will likely retire early), but it’s because I did without for a few years trying to play catch up while making good money. It’s not a tactic I recommend. If I had started it back when I was 18 I could be really close to retirement right now.
Depends on the day. Between a few hours and a few days. If I’ve got something due at work later in the day, hours. If I have no hard deliverables for a few weeks then one of the bars where I’m a regular and play music would be the first to figure it out. All the bartenders and sound guys know how to get in touch with me.
Mom would figure it out in a month or so.
I drop off the earth pretty frequently but I always keep my gig and work commitments or call if I can’t. So it depends on my next commitment, which happens pretty much weekly.
I saw one where someone said something like “You’re making yourself look like what the crazy left says about you!”
I didn’t know it started as a way to keep non whites out. That’s interesting.
I’ve lived in a town where people leave broken down cars under chest high grass. Where toilets with a handful of wildflowers planted in the middle counted as a lawn ornament. Ridiculous shit like that. I prefer that to an HOA.
This is my favorite. I ride motorcycles and as a whole the people I’ve met who ride are pretty accepting except for a couple of very old or very young dickheads. But trying to ride that fucker side saddle would get you laughed at by even the most accepting riders.
I have been absolutely sure it was a joke. His shit is so over the top.
But did you do it again at half past 2?
In Trump’s letter to the Persians, chapter 14 verse 88.
I’m not a DC movie guy (I used to like the comics when I was young) and I’m pretty burned out on superheroes in general, but I’ll watch it both for this and because I tend to like James Gunn.
I’m thinking that’s what he’s doing here. He’s threatening to fracture the furthest right to get what he wants and he’ll spend a pile to do it. I’m convinced this is his play to buy the Republican party.
Xtreme Politics!
Well is it?
Wait, I thought whoever was in charge of the government had the weather machines. So who really killed those people?
Announce that they’re opening the investigation but need all their land back because the documentation is scattered due to the war. Oh, we just can’t investigate with all this bombing going on, but we really, really want to.
The thing I found out when I was a manager is you will get exactly what you measure. If you measure how long it takes to close tickets your customer service will suffer (that’s a stupid thing to measure anyway, but we had a stupid director). If you measure the number of tickets closed then you’ll get each step of a process as a ticket. If you measure billable hours you’ll get a bunch of time padding.
So since the religion is measuring the amount of sin and (in some denominations cases) good works performed, that’s what you’ll get. How many of the big 10 did you stay on the right side of? Did you put in 2 hours at the soup kitchen? Cool, here’s your ticket to heaven. It’s not measuring how good you are to your fellow humans. And they’re pissed if you don’t have to follow the same rules they do because you don’t believe in the same sins. So they try to force others to live by their dumb ass rules instead of trying to get others to be good people.
I’m already working on a musical about them, but I think I may have to send it out of the country to be both published (under an assumed name) and performed.
Oh, they’re trying to project authenticity?!? Have they tried, you know, being authentic?
I love curse words, they’re half my vocabulary. That won’t turn me off. But strong language alone will not move the fucking needle. You’ve got to meet people where they are and really give a shit, not just try stunts.
