I had to look up the spelling of the last name. I started with "Eevee Charmander" as the last thread of the memory. 2019 was a long time ago, somehow.

It's difficult for a businessman to justify someone who can drive millions of ad views in a day.

It's more that someone is making a marginally credible claim that aliens are real (not the Enquirer claiming an anonymous person claimed they had an alien encounter, but someone with some manner of reputation to stake making the claim publicly)... and that what might have driven dozens of hours of news coverage over a cycle or two is now passé.

Either that, or do it in such a way that you need to actively engage the traps. Ideally when you're expecting company.

Rigging a gate to roll a hot tub down the hill like something out of Looney Tunes wasn't on my list, but it is now.

Eric Ciaramella, the unsayable, unwritable name of the pro-Ukraine "whistleblower" at the center of the second botched impeachement attempt.

Twitter, Reddit, et. al. were handing out permabans for first names, last names, initials, slant rhymes, and occasionally innocuous statements that were vaguely reminiscent of that lying twat.

A first name is not a dox.

Depends on which first name. Claire? No. Eric? Yes.

Making a button-mash minigame harder on higher difficulties is peak sadism.

Easily the worst part of clearing MGS I-IV in my younger years.

Ohio's on the eastern edge of what I'd call the Midwest - Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and western Kentucky/Tennessee (the eastern halves of those states are too mountainous to be Midwestern), plus southern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

It's good country, though, and filled with good people (outside of a few big cities).

Did you know half of the Apollo astronauts were from Ohio?

That's because when you're trying to get out of Ohio, no place on Earth is far enough away.

I'd skip the first 10 minutes unless you're into joke memes that shock your system.

That said, the remake looks pretty fantastic to me.

I just want them spooked enough to fake enough ballots that Newsore or Buttgig "gets" 110m or more.

They're going to wake people up by accident if they keep bumping it another 10-20m votes per side every time.

I was already ready to walk over a number of other issues, so I took my protest a step further and said I was out if anyone was compelled to take the shot or to prove they had.

There were a couple of other people who took the same stance alongside me, and enough of us were sufficiently difficult to replace they caved.

Took them eighteen hours to walk it back to "we're going to see how SCOTUS rules" and then never say a word about it again.

I'm waiting for the non-existent Saxons to wake up and do something about their institutions attempting to erase them from existence.

My inner monologue wants to have a dialogue about the collapse of Western Civilization. I need him to shut up for a few minutes or I'm not going to finish my set.

B at least looks to be not-fat, which gets her a 5 in 2023 and would've gotten her 0 points in 1980.

That is an abomination, but not at all unusual for the crowd he hangs with (hopefully sooner rather than later).

Arabs left alone weren't leaving others alone, though. If they hadn't severely limited trade and travel with continual coastal slave raids, Europe would have had a higher likelihood of keeping pace.

I think maybe 1/30 people in my shop are actually as productive WFH as they are in the office. It takes an internally-motivated, highly conscientious individual to be as diligent when no one is watching as when under even casual observation.

From an employer's perspective, remote work is a losing bet as a universal policy and works better as an alternative means of compensation for select individuals. You either need something strictly metrics-based where you can measure performance accurately, or you need to absolutely know that the select employees working outside of supervision are working because they care about doing good work, not because they're in it for a paycheck... and you still need to check in on them occasionally to make sure that hasn't changed.
