They should just go full obvious and call it SKETCHY or SHADY or HACKJOB.

This is true in my case. I got totally screwed by my first new American car, the dealership that sold it to me, and the corporation when I called them about the dealer’s practices. As a result I’ve never bought another American car and won’t. 

Well... I’ve seen it a couple of times. I worked with one of these sorts of folks at a large telecom, and he sent these types of e-mails and voiced this sort of behavior in meetings. He now works for Boeing as a matter-a-fact.

None of this surprises me. My wife and are friends with a couple of RWA members, and were friends with another. As writers ourselves (non-romance) we’ve been to a handful of RWA events with our RWA friends and there is an odd sort of toxic pleasantness that the writers seem to exhibit towards one another. The way they…

And I hope that your life is going better too! You are worthy of respect and the freedom to live your life not fearing your own family. 

Stay strong. I had to do this with my father and stepmother and it nearly instantly repaired so many stress related issues I had because of them. They were both emotionally abusive and physically abusive my entire life. I had to close the door on them at 18.

Mayor Pete is a classic example of a white Democrat that only sees value in minorities as a vehicle to carry him to an election win.

This is the way our society is going. Manufacturer service being forced down our throats costing way too much money and time. The whole model of sell it, fix it, replace it, forcing people into a manufacturer lifecycle again and again especially if there are any accessories that are bespoke to that manufacturer.

This is always the thing for me too. If I want a better proc have to shell for a board. MOBOs have always been the most common dead out of the box part for me as well.

I was building PCs back in the day with IRQ and DIP switches the difference between then and now is so huge and amazing! I don’t miss the old days at all. 

How do they even get insured if their officers have no training?

Maybe. Hopefully they gave her something good in this one, and hopefully she’s getting paid ok for all the hate she’s gotten for this character. 

Probably because people shit all over her for nothing she did aside from have the temerity to appear in their Star Wars and say lines given to her by some dude she had no power over. 

Disclaimer: In general I don’t like the new Skywalker narrative movies. Not every bit about them but I thought they felt rushed and slapped together.

I’d say went to sleep is more accurate. Cops and security guards sleep on the job all the time. Not just falling asleep but purposefully going to discreet places to sleep for a while. 

AT&T will always increase price to match the competitors. Always. Because why miss out on that sweet sweet money by trying to give customers a better deal. 

So we have two, maybe three, new candidates entering the race. All three are corporate shills.

I think it also frames why a lack of regulation is bad. The wealthy can buy and sink anything they don’t like. That has to be changed. I’m not sure how but we better figure it out before we’re only getting what they want us to get.

The Mandalorian and The Mandayodian?

This is Tuesday on I5 in Seattle.
