I like these posts but they’re so American. I live and work in a different country and the rules are different. Here about 25% of my salary before taxes automatically goes to Social Security to cover unemployment, medicare and retirement, with the expectation that when I retire I’ll get a state pension equal to around…

Ah yes, the French revolution. Let’s consider timelines a bit.

Makes me want to scream every time. Like dude, you have one job.

I got my star on Jezebel literally a week before they scrapped the old system and moved to Kinja, where I appear to be permanently greyed.

A Senator’s defense: “I know nothing of this bill I’m about to support with my vote!”

Yes but then some sites don’t take special characters, some need more than one number, etc. etc. If at least the requirements were up front on every login page, that would make it easier - but nooooo, they only ever show them on the registration pages.

I’m no big time chef, but the set of 3 kitchen knives I got from Ikea, of all places, have been good to me. Two of them are from the 365+ series. They’re cast from a single piece of metal, well-balanced and seem to hold a decent edge so far. The last one has a wooden handle but looks like a full tang, but I don’t…

All I want for my iPhone is an option to disable any and all notification of system updates. I’m still on 9.4 and having to dismiss their fucking daily reminders makes me want to chuck my phone through the nearest window.

But then where’s the point where principle should outweigh self-interest? I mean, “work is work” is just another way of saying that a man’s gotta put food on the table, and that not everyone can afford quitting just because he thinks his company’s editorial stance is bullshit. I get that.

The NFL, F1 and Nascar, basically every extreme sport and a lot of no-extreme sports too. Panem et circences; what makes you think so much has changed from when people watched others get mauled by lions?

The joint checking account is for recurring expenses and dips as low as 1 or 2k generally before our monthly transfers come in. My wife and I each keep separate checking accounts where our paychecks come in. I don’t really know about her side; mine usually has 10 to 20k in it, and I’ll make 10k contributions to…

So just so I’m clear, if he’d bought the victim’s silence with private money it would have been fine?

In fact, Arpaio is seriously considering molesting a 14 year-old too in order to bump his ratings.

More like he looks like an idiot child in a room full of crocodiles.

You remember back in the day (I think it was 2017 or so, it’s been so long) when we bristled at the concept of a federal employee hawking someone’s merchandise ? How innocent we were!

Brb buying a Switch for B3 (and B2 while I’m at it).

So what’s so good about having a limited supply of an (infinitely divisible) currency? Leaving aside for the moment that it’s a currency you can’t actually use to buy anything.

Maybe he legally changed his name to “Chopra M.D.”?

Sick burn at the end there, Reynolds!
