You've got a chance that the guy can learn. There's other diversity hire groups who can't and/or won't.

(if he is the type that can learn, then within a few months he'll be cursing the other diversity hires).

I'm not sure why she's worried. I wouldn't touch that with your dick.

There's a huge difference between killing prisoners as part of the normal operation of a prison, and shooting attempted escapees. The latter has been pretty normal for a long time, and isn't typically considered "murder".

Anyone posting that sign has bent the knee, and deserves no sympathy.

It's going to be a drama series about the trials and tribulations of farm life in the Gift. Think Little House on the Prairie with Jon Snow as Pa.

The Supreme Court decided CO2 was a pollutant that could be regulated in 2007. 5-4. With Roberts no longer the swing vote thus unable to stand up for keeping wrong decisions because they were decisions, it might be overturned.

Finally there will be no punishment for bearing arms in accordance with the Second Amendment.

Oh, what's that? That's the one law they will enforce? What a surprise.

U-6 is not the "true unemployment rate", and even if it were it's 7.1%, not 22%.

Amazon doesn't need to worry about exhausting its labor force, but that's because as interest rate hikes retard the economy and inflation continues to grow, demand will drop and they won't need as many people.

The plant isn't responsible for the shortage, the FDA is. They shut down the plant on suspicion of an infection from there. When it turned out the infection wasn't from there, rather than letting up they doubled down and kept the plant closed.

I definitely think it takes a huge amount of naivety at best to willingly work for Google or any of the other Big Tech companies.

No, if nothing else the money is pretty good.

Nevermind they do all they can to get rid of any distinction between a "work-life" and a "home-life."

I used to work at Google and that wasn't a problem. You can fall into that trap but you don't need to and it doesn't help you professionally.

Work at any of these places and you're working to build the shackles making everyone a slave to..

Now, now, big tech doesn't use the words "shackles" or "slave". Seriously, though, I'm not sure what you mean. The trouble with some of the products (YouTube and Facebook especially) is more like opiates than shackles.

Oh, and it probably won't be just a confidant. Imagine having your own personal assistant that's always there. Helping you get enough sleep, making sure you reach "your goals." Helping you reach the apex of peak physical health. Helping you optimize your carbon footprint. ("I noticed you ate 2lb of meat today, to help you ethically reach your protein goal for the month let's have Nutri-bars for the rest of the week 🙂")[spoiler: This probably won't be a suggestion]

That's actual Google marketing copy, right?

Ignore all that shit until they make it non-ignorable, and polish up your resume for when they do.

This is just silly. The US and Russia have been rivals since the end of WWII. That is, in fact, part of the reason for joint space ventures like this -- to build a bridge between said rivals. Of course some of our popular entertainment is going to portray them as the bad guys.

I note they didn't mention which movie it was. And further, it looks like it was the American astronaut who brought it up.

First thing we need is a mental health system that doesn't treat boys as defective girls, doesn't treat people reacting sanely to an insane situation as insane, doesn't reach for drugs just to make kids pliable in school, etc. Without that, mental health treatment (therapy, drugs, or institutionalization) is just abuse.

But they didn't match what the cops actually did. "Do as I say, not as I do", I guess.

Goodwill up here in the PNW is a fantastic source of used movies and CDs, with the caveat that the vast majority of movies are going to be DVDs and not blu rays.

Kids don't give a fuck.
