It’s maybe worth clarifying that Minnesota’s self-defense laws are not like a state like Florida’s. You can shoot an intruder in your home for basically any reason, but impose a duty to retreat if at all feasible elsewhere, including at your place of business.

I’m not saying that the only “real” country music is old school. But I am saying that the further out you get from the musical stylings of guys like Hank Williams in the country ecosystem, the worse it gets. I’d much rather just listen to not-country music that people confuse for country music like folk music than…

I’ve been hanging out on Twitch some. It’s definitely about 15 years too young for me, but I sort of counteract that by watching streamers playing old classics like Dragon Age: Origins, which typically has anywhere between 50-100 viewers in total of a handful of streams. I do it because it’s interesting to see how the…

Yeah, look, Hilary is no saint, but the lady’s one of the most lied about and disingenuously vilified people in modern times.

Tick checks are such a leveraged proposition.

Wait the NAACP did that?

I read your reply, just trying to distill it down.

But how can he manage those executives if he’s never done “their job”. I know CEOs as well, and the C-Suite tends to be populated by lots of people who’s job they never did. CEOS may have handled one or maybe even two senior executive functions, but when you’re in charge of a 20k person company you are typically…

So what you’re saying is that Kotaku’s headline is wrong and that he did in fact take accountability for his specific failures, namely that he didn’t do a good job of managing his direct subordinates who were responsible for controlling the process, even though he of course has never been an HR specialist responsible…

Killer Mike had the audacity to suggest that the best way to enact change is to participate in our existing political process enthusiastically.

I don’t think they do think that, but acknowledging that reality leads back around to working within the bounds of our framework of governance, and it would be a “The Emperor Has No Clothes” moment for a lot of the thinking that underpins the far edge of the progressive movement.

By storming a handful of buildings in a tiny part of our country and then demanding that the rest of the country listen to our edicts, which of course will represent a flawless set of rules for how to achieve a perfectly equitable society?

Now, if the rest of the call went HONESTLY it would go something like this:

If it were up to me, no one would be hired as a manager without at least a year or two of experience as the people who will work under them.

I guess it depends how much you have to interact with the outside world, I’m lucky, in the sense that I can work from home. I have to leave my small house to go to the grocery store and figure out how to work out of a small house with 3 small children, but otherwise my chances of exposure are low. Winter weather…

It is no longer sustainable to play softball with a state that wants to see large swathes of its population dead, whether that death comes quickly at the hands of the police, or over a matter of months or years through exploitation and deprivation.

Yeah that was a weird comment, though I also don’t think it’s accurate.

DO YOU THINK MURDERING PUPPIES IS BAD?

If this awfulness continues into winter, I have a hard time thinking anyone would regret leaving Canada for California.

That’s the letter of many forbearance agreements, but in practice not how it functions. I don’t think there are any lenders out there laboring under the delusion that very many borrowers who took a payment forbearance are going to show up with all of the back payments at the end.
