They think you're stupid.
I think I have been put on two of those, the people running it were clearly extremely normal and Not Mad
In front of a gray couch, a fat black and gray tabby is casually sitting in an open brown shoebox. His paws are calmly in front of him, barely hanging over the box edge. Some of his chonky fur on his shoulder has flopped over another box edge.
Good morning, Gerald! Zevvy says hello!
It's clearly not argued in good faith cause I never see them make space for leftists
Congratulations to all the amazing finalists!!!

watched somebody absolutely fuck up their interactions with their kid. all they had to do was keep their god damn mouth shut for 2 minutes.
They paid pretty well so it wasn't like there were peons at the bottom and a giant executive class sucking up all the bonuses.
They were good to work for but I had health issues and left.
(They have since been bought out, twice.)
I worked for a local business that was an S-Corp that was partially worker-owned. You could get private company
They would make a profit, say $20 million. First 10% the company kept. Out of the rest, 60% was put in a pool, which was then shared out to the employees proportionally to their salary.
Read a Facebook thread about worker wages vs. CEO wages and there was an honest-to-God Objectivist in the comments.
I thought the trap/neuter/release program made them extinct finally
feeling really "I wonder what local businesses are worker-owned?" today
grid combat! grid combat!
It's a real contender for my favorite PKD novel.
Woke up early. A decent weekend in spite of missing my wife. Got a few things moved along, hosted a good meal with light gaming afterward, kids did well overall.
Gifted a copy of Mewgenics to a friend who I am 98% certain is gonna love it. He loves tactical grod combat and light RPG progression...
@rossisaacs.bsky.social is in a bad way. He's unable to work, and since he works as a waiter (and before that, in the RPG industry), he doesn't really *have* 'money that comes in while I can't work.'
Ross did foundational work on Star Trek TTRPGs in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Oh my god, the nav system on this Rolls Royce literally lets you redline entire neighborhoods. The no go zones are real!!
Bus typo: Help us score the gift of life, DONATE BLOOB
BLOOB FOR THE BLOOB GOD!
There are tons of goals, but none are inherent. My son heard a story of furniture makers who hired an aerospace engineer. All the engineer ever wanted to do was make new furniture lighter, which his employers didn't care about whatsoever.
good NPR "These Things We Believe" segment

ugggh
100% agreed. My daughter's worst HS teacher was a total prick who once spent most of a class period being a transphobe (all the kids innthe class were cis). He was "just wondering" so shittily the entire class badgered him hard. He got recorded being such a fucker that he got officially reprimanded.
I am cackling out loud at how right you are.
Frog rejects scorpion's second round of talks
Man, I remember being at a party in my freshman year of college, drunk as hell. Someone else put on that Live album and I still can feel how badly it sucked.
Omnishambles!!!!! Le mot juste!
my HS history teacher was a bemused goofy Democrat who would take us all to the library with individual lists of history questions that we had to research to learn to get info from primary sources.
It was like a trivia scavenger hunt.
Whoo, he hated Reagan.
