“team-building bullshit” is now the excuse many companies are using in order to force their employees back into the office. “We are an office culture” mindset is shared by a handful of C-suit executives at my 50K person company and almost no one else. We have proven we can be just as productive, if not more so, being…

“I know the chances of my ever getting assassinated are slim to none, but I still like to be prepared” - Aimee Levitt

Lots of great choices already mentioned. I haven’t seen Strange Planet yet, though, and I think that it deserves a nomination.

I love Korg from Thor:Ragnarok.

That statement was so gross. "It was always over the clothes! Except for the times it was under the clothes..."

They’re brainwashed to believing it’s the woman’s job to heal their men.

The whole “It was just over the clothes! And a couple incidents under the clothes but what’s the big deal?” made me ill. And of course at the same time the girls are being told that somehow they led their own brother “into sin” by existing and being female.

As parents, what you did was show your daughters that some abuse is okay and the abuser’s feelings and life journey and the harmony of the family unit are more important than you and your trauma. A little bit of abuse being okay basically preps them for a lifetime of abuse. Because it’s always going to be “a little…

Yep. The time of “well aren’t YOU playing a dangerous game ::tsk tsk::” is long past. The idea of covering this sort of shit as “appealing to the Trump base” or whatever is long dead. Real simple: if you say it, you believe it. Occam’s fucking razor, bitches.

Outchere looking to catch these hands.

Like little children testing boundaries: how far can I go this time? Now, this time? Inch by inch, they are planting their stakes. Cut them off immediately.

Yep. If they thought they had the actual numbers, you’d see even more of this shit.

I had the same thought since Jan. They are steadily amping up the rhetoric just to see what they can get away with and/or provoke folks. It lends itself to the whole “race war” that their slack-jawed tornado bait constituency continue to get moist about.

Fully into the “testing the fences” phase. They’re gearing up.

I know, right? The hamster perspective on Board Meetings: “Too many people in hard shiny shoes. I need to find someone to carry me to these things before someone steps on me.”

I would totally read a book by a Great Hamster. 

Back in the late 1990s, books by “Great Men”, defined as people who headed companies that made a lot of money, and they were ALL men, were thick on the ground. Every company that did well had a man in charge who thought his company did well because HE was in charge, and so his words were all people needed to become…

In this country, no one can stop prosecutors from charging a crime. But when you’re accused, you can fight back in the courtroom—and that is exactly what Josh intends to do.

I remember many on the right defending it as “playing doctor”.   

Just checking in to mention I created this account name years ago specifically to comment on how Mike Huckabee praised Duggar as a ‘good Christian’ after he was outed as a serial pedophile. Huckabee specifically didn’t try to deny that Duggar did it, and he seemed genuinely confused to find out that some people…
