Placed I've worked if you don't use sick days they're paid out as worked days.
So it's not like you're losing by coming to work with the sniffles. Taking a sick day you're really just taking a vacation day when you can't enjoy it.
It's a cargo cult. The natives build dirt runways and airplane shapes out of wood because they don't know what an airplane is or how it works.
They don't know what funny means so they try to copy the structure and shape, when what they should take from The Office is that talent can turn even the most boring uninteresting setting into comedy.
The writers and a few of the actors on The Office could make like dentistry or say entomology funny. It had nothing to do with being in an office.
Unless they are more afraid of Vance than Trump; Trump is only half Scots.
Vance seems more ideological and religious and there's this streak of 'Braveheart' in the Scots-Irish (aka Border Scots) that is hard to characterize or understand by other peoples. Like we have the word "feud" because the Romans after conquering all these different places and tribes (and failing to hold Scotland) had no word of their own to describe what it is. They built Hadrian's Wall to keep them out because the Scots were too dangerous to the empire - not from their might but their wrath.
There's a good chance if Vance takes over for Trump and the deeps say he better go along "or else" that he yells "freedom!" before reading out the JFK secrets on livestream.
"Eating cats" is shorthand for "way too many migrants, they're not integrating, and we don't want them here".
The left responding with "nobody is eating cats you idiot" is a disaster in terms of messaging. They think the issue is cats, while they're losing anybody concerned about the masses of illegal aliens.
Trump is an absolute master at this kind of troll politics. He made them go hard on the losing side of the biggest issue people are voting on. 24/7 news and memes all telling independents if they care about the issue then don't vote democrat - and they have no idea they're doing it.
They scanned books then "lent" out the scan.
What genius lawyer thought making a copy, then making any number of other copies wouldn't violate copyright?
Must have been a Googler that forgot only #1 lobbyist megacorps are allowed to do that.
No but that's not necessarily a good thing.
This paper claims that CO2 is saturated at 400 ppm in terms of heat retention which would mean the initial increase from industrial times is responsible for the warming by increasing from ~300 to heat saturation level and everything we're doing now is just locking it in.
In other words just decreasing CO2 emissions won't do anything to change the current course, we'd actually have to go negative so much we get it down well below 400 ppm. Trillions of lbs of CO2 per year turned into limestone or whatever for decades to have any impact.
If you buy a $5 lottery ticket it'll be have almost no correlation to your savings account balance - your rent, utilities, and food have way more impact. Pay your $1000 rent and wow your savings goes down a lot.
Yet after a lifetime of buying lottery tickets you're down maybe $50k. That's real money even though it had basically no effect on your bank account at any time.
From glancing at it this seems to be the paper; ocean temps go up more CO2 increase, down less CO2 increase, but it doesn't address the lifetime of lottery tickets. The CO2 we put in the air has gone somewhere. It's not alchemy.
Also, done with this.
Done and done.
You're so weak-willed you can't even walk away. And the reason is of course because you know you look like a moron but if you get the last word maybe you can save your ego.
You're pathetic.
They followed completely different deities and religion. There would be no reason for them to find any honor in being sacrificed to a foreign god
The other societies in the region had similar practices and beliefs - it's in the quote, dude. In the flower wars the sides would fight, take captives, and sacrifice those captives. What do you think, that the Aztecs were sacrificing their own warriors? Why would they fight and be desiring of death by obsidian blade (ie as a sacrifice) from their own people? Think for a second before reflexively responding with more lame opinions.
The 80k number refers exclusively to one event specifically, the re-consecration of The Great Temple at Tenochtitlan.
Yes one event, the four-day festival where sacrifices were held at several sites. Not one site. At least four thousand, less than 80,000. But we should pretend it was definitely only four thousand to kowtow to the left, according to you.
It is simply logistically implausible to capture, mobilize, slaughter and dispose of such a large number of people, let alone leave no mass graves or at least a sizable ash layer (if cremated).
There is no evidence that this is true at all.
To keep arguing when you have no evidence or facts, are you retarded?
Those captured wanted to be sacrificed because
There is no evidence that this is true at all.
Yes, there was certainly more than one site, much more likely more than 16. The 80k number however is clearly for one temple at one location, during its consecration.
Clearly? Who even said it was all at one site except you?
Regarding the Aztec Blood Festival: "All sources agree that on that day a huge number of captives were sacrificed to the gods on four altars set up on top of the pyramid in Tenochtitlan and 15 at other sacred sites in the city.
Full article is paywalled but they seem to have done a lot of research. I did misread that as 16 sites, when it's saying 15 other alters at other sites.
Also, done with this.
Did you even start?? The only thing you've contributed is trying to minimalize the Aztecs' savagery with some baseless opinions.
The Aztecs were not typical in terms of sacrificing people; they had wars with the primary goal of sacrificing people. Those captured wanted to be sacrificed because they believe it was an honorable death, restoring balance to nature after the great famines.
So none of your pontificating is reasonable except that we don't actually know how many were sacrificed. The 4k-5k figure is the lowest estimate, from oral tradition, but it's entirely possible that these claims were of one specific sacrificial holy site - there were 16 - especially since 5k x 16 is 80k.
I think in his case it's worse than just TDS.
A live magic show in Vegas cannot include deepfakes. It cannot include false news.
It's literally a physical deepfake. Magicians are painting a fake picture using tricks. To levy this criticism of Trump, to tie it to his profession, makes me think it's personal in that way.
In other words, Penn Jillette views Trump as a fellow performer who manipulates his audience and is better than Penn is. Like he's fine with Trump until they meet head-to-head, Trump looks like a boss, and Penn looks small.
He hosts a show where he essentially portrays himself as the best magician of all time. Occasionally they are "fooled", but not really; they're still the arbiters of magic, and being "fooled" is portrayed like tipping the hat.
It's envy.
For friend interactions I feel the proper response is "huh" or "hmm". You acknowledge that you heard them without weighing in on it, or in this case when they talk in code you could say "oh you mean estrogen" so they know you understood and heard them.
What they want is a reaction - either good or bad, doesn't matter. Good and they get 'affirmed' or bad and they 'affirm' that you're the enemy and so your opinion doesn't count or even by tribalism should be against them.
Denying them your praise or scorn or interest is actually the most effective way to discourage them.
Autists see the pattern, The Message is much louder.
You know how you go back and look at a television program now and in hindsight it's sickening how much it's full of woke shit? Well autists saw that the first time while everybody else was saying how great the show was.
For an autist it's like if their closest friends were all watching Velma and raving about how great it was, their Noticing and the social reaction to what they're noticing is out of sync because normal people haven't noticed it yet.
I think they don't want to talk about it out of fear, like June 4th in China.
They're behaving like the East Germans under the Stasi, where they know if they say the wrong thing the state will come for them so they don't say anything.
And they're not wrong. Even today they risk being kicked out of their entire social club for "sounding like a Trumpster". They see Youtube-CDC 'you're bad if you watch this' placard on any real information and know if they watch too much it'll go on their permanent record to be used against them later.
Frasier (1993) is still good because even though Niles is King Simp, it's always portrayed as pathetic and comic relief with Frasier saying "oh for God's sake, Niles".
At least while the running gag of Niles in love but married is going on it's almost therapy with Frasier yelling out what we're all thinking all the time these days in every show and having zero patience for it.
Andor actually feels like 4/5/6 Star Wars in long form. It's got some slow stretches, but most of why they are boring is because you're just waiting for another scene with Stellan Skarsgard.
Skarsgard has got a great character and interesting dialog, but he's also a really good actor. I remember first seeing him in Aberdeen, where he played a convincing drunk; he didn't look like an actor acting drunk he looked like he was actually a chronic alcoholic. There's usually some little movements or stance that belie the act.
More boring than lonely.
There are still difficult problems and fun challenges, but for most things it's like having the cheat code for a game - it's not fun anymore.
Or like why Linux desktop is so crap. Making a useful, consistent UI is not hard at all, it's actually very easy, but it takes a lot of time and effort so nobody does it unless they're paid to; it's a chore. It's too easy.
The smarter you are the more of your life is just chores and busywork.
The proper comparison is him dropping out while endorsing Trump vs staying in the race.
RJK endorsing Trump would give back all his lean-Trump voters and a good chunk of his lean-Harris ones. That'd be way better than staying in the race regardless of which side he's pulling from.
The embarrassment stems from most adults taking a sick day when they're hung over or overslept and it's too late to get to work on time.
Or as a vacation day. Oh you're sick the two days before your vacation starts? Huh.
Everybody knows what you're doing and that's embarrassing.
A sick day when you actually are sick or saw a doctor is the opposite of embarrassing, but odds are that's not why somebody is out.
