I'm willing to bet that number is above 80%. Sure, there are the occasional crazy stalkers (of both sexes, but for some reason only one gets talked about a lot) but the overwhelming majority of creepy is just "ewwww, why are you talking to me you peasant?!" Just like a lot of so-called rape cases (especially in college settings) are "I met a guy, slept with him and then regretted it, so it must be rape"
Maybe short term bonds are OK, but buying longer term bonds is just asking for trouble IMO, because the US govt is the source of most of the problems and seems determined to keep intentionally sabotaging stuff in an effort to keep the house of cards together another day. As opposed to just, you know, trying to fix the structural problems.
a job where the only prereq is "don't say retarded things."
Is that really the prereq, though? It seems like only job responsibility most community managers have these days is to say whatever the current woke retarded thing is.
If the banks had any balls (which most of them - especially the big ones - don't, they're probably in favor of this) they'd immediately cut off all business for everyone associated with law enforcement, private security companies, the CA National Guard and the US military. After all, those are all people who make their living by using those evil guns,
It's not even that they missed it - they actively chose not to do it. Years back, Stardock made their own online distribution platform (called Impulse) that they slowly started expanding which might have become a Steam competitor in time. Gamestop bought it from them in 2011. And then did absolutely nothing with it, before closing it down a few years later.
Absolutely not, the complete opposite in fact. Nearly all of these people go absolutely insane if one of their precious minorities actually shows up where they live - see the reaction when DeSantis sent a half dozen of them to Martha's Vineyard, and Biden going on record saying Obama was a "clean and articulate" black man.
They want to feed their own egos and virtue signal to gain the accolades of their peers. Most of them believe to their core that there is no way any non-white person can succeed without the intervention of the Noble, Heroic White Liberal(tm). And by the constant public statements are so everyone knows that the speaker is one of the Kind, Benevolent Masters who is helping the poor plebeians.
I'm willing to bet a lot of these type of people think their tweets are setting them down the road to being Daenerys getting carried through the streets of by a horde of adoring slaves at the end of Season 3.
That nutjob's reaction in the comments is beyond parody.

“It just means we’ve got a long road ahead of us … to get kids to get back to grade level,” said Rachel Hansen, director of the center’s survey project.
And how do you plan on doing that? Getting rid of all the subjective stuff to spend more time on the basics? Firing incompetent teachers and administrators, especially the ones who kept advocating the lockdowns? Keeping kids back a year if they bomb everything? Advocating for political positions to improve schools beyond "gimme more money"?
Oh, none of the above? Then you're not fixing anything. Unless you have a student with a large amount of personal motivation to put in the extra time to do the makeup work, you're not going to make up for a year (in some cases, two years) worth of missed class time. Especially in an educational system which is barely scraping many of the students by as-is.
No, the new star at Veritas won't be a woman. Maybe some people had intended to install a woman as the new face of it, but that ignores the fact that James is Veritas, and Veritas is James. If they do succeed in forcing him out, I'm fairly certain almost nobody will care about Veritas in short order. And, if James starts a new, similar thing after being forced out, that will become more relevant than Veritas after it's first content drop.
Generally, those on the offense suffer greater casualties than on the defense,
That is the main thing that the numbers in the screenshot seem incredibly fake to me. A 10-1 casualty ratio in your favor, when you're the aggressor, especially when you launched a few abortive offenses in the first weeks of the war that went no where? That's not happening.
.... what on earth would convince someone to do that? Beyond ridiculous
