Not every single thought needs a formal post here....

Yeah...methinks that since cops won’t report their fellow cops for rampant corruption, I highly doubt they would go against the police union boss.

I always love the “don’t judge all cops by the few bad ones” argument.

I had a fellow field engineer that was charging like twice the cost for plane tickets and hotels. It was about four assignments before the expense department figured out this idiot was taking his Great Dane with him on jobs.

I seriously cannot fathom how fan bases and cities continue to buy into this crap. These stadium deals, and we can just expand on this to include hosting the World Cup and/or the Olympics are just gross waste of money and a celebration of greed.

I work internationally and I have to agree. In the US, there is at least still a social stigma for being seen as a “tax cheat”. In a lot of countries, its seen as a something to not only to be proud about, but something to flaunt. In some of the localities I have worked, actually paying your taxes was seen as…

I fully admit I could not do an HR job. It also doesn’t help that our business is incredibly technical. We basically do large motors, drives, and automation for mills, ports, all kinds of shit globally. So our HR people have to handle some crazy shit like import/export controls on intellectual property, complex tax…

Honest question...do you not see the difference between say a shitty, over the top, cheesy bad horror movie, made on a shoe string budget over say a crass cash grab, big budget film?

Here’s my HR story...feel free to enjoy.

The nickname thing is incredibly complicated in the military. For example, there were about 130 of us sharing a room. Everyone had multiple nicknames which only certain people could use, based on their standing to yourself.

As someone that has spina bifida (meaning a severe limp), along with a significant speech impediment, and a regular fight with controlling my bladder, get over yourself bro.

I did undergrad research in micro-material structures. While getting my undergrad, I was asked by a colleague to join the Women’s Engineering Society on the campus. Basically the university had a rule that you needed to have at least 6 members or the group would lose its funding support from the university. We had…

I want to be clear, in no way do I think this guy went out of his way to screw us. The problem is that the US military, and pretty much our entire society, you have to be careful how things are described and presented. Add in a HIGHLY stressful situation, people tend to let their guard down. I would never talk to a…

HA! No. We had a guy basically hang out with us for a couple of weeks. I kept telling my junior guys to not talk to this guy and be very careful what was said around him. Asshole proceeded to basically air out everyone’s dirty laundry for street cred. It was stupid shit like bringing up most of us spoke Spanish, guys…

Blew out my knee at a major wrestling college. I was two time zones away from my family. The fucking coach didn’t even check on me in the hospital. An equipment manager showed up with my shit and basically told me not to worry about anything because I was cut from the team and my scholarship would not be renewed. The…

If we are talking just pure performance on the field...I got to go with the Browns. I’m not saying its easier to win in the NFL. But with the extremely short player careers, the owners having far more power than players, and the shear number of GM’s, coaches, etc they have burned through...dear god its almost…

I just get frustrated by the common refrain in the US of the belief that the US forced professional players into the Olympics. Furthermore, the “amateur” status crap was a joke LONG before the 70's and the 80's. It was always used as a tool (warning putting on my conspiracy hat) to punish minority athletes for…

Anyone willing to talk to the media about any legal situation is a fucking moron.

Who on god’s green earth is going to replace Klinsmann?
