It’s not Friday...

You’re basing this off the idea that getting laid off means you also get a severance, or at least one that is worthwhile and gives you enough money and time to find another job. It’s not always the case. Stop acting like it is.

You asked what the difference is. That’s the difference.

That’s a big “IF” in today’s workplace. Buyouts are essentially people getting laid off with negotiated severance packages. They got there thanks to a good union.  RIP Unions

The difference is leaving on your feet with money and time to find a new job, and on your ass with no job prospects and unemployment checks that will never cover life’s expenses 

You think you’re the former, but you’re actually the latter.

Whelp, I learned what a Stanine is, so I guess there’s that. Thanks, Dgbaker? 

My ex brother in law is best friends with Boris Epstein. That enormous piece of of shit was in his wedding, and stays at my ex in law’s house often. My ex in laws consider themselves moderate Democrats, and even helped campaign for Biden during his Senate days.

My daughter and I went to the Blacksonian a couple months ago. They have an interactive exhibit that focuses on the sit ins;the training they had to go through and all of the horrible photographs taken of people getting food poured on them and beaten just for being the wrong color at a diner. My daughter spent close…

There literally thousands of reasons to punch Justin Beiber in the mouth, but spelling “Wack” with a “h” puts me in a particularly specific face punching mood.

This is even better Kinja when go back to look at the list.  

Sorry if that wasn’t clear. I thought the image above was supposed to look like Eugene.

I thought that was the point, and who doesn’t want to watch things with Ruth Negga in them?

These guys are idiots, but they weren’t laughing at “womp-womp” They were laughing at the audacity of the man saying “womp-womp” and failed miserably trying to explain that, because “funny” isn’t the word you’d use to describe it and laugh isn’t the thing you do in response. Idiots with a limited vocabulary.  This…

Pathetic. And they had Liz write an apology piece after.

All these people are using the tools that were put in place to encourage the gentrification in the city. Don’t get me wrong, I Love the shit out of H st. I used to live there 10 years ago when affording it meant dodging bullets at night. But look at the neighborhood then as opposed to now. Don’t tell me there isn’t…

You were, and Hyattsville isn’t DC.

Anyone living here or here and “need” to take on 6 roommates to survive can blow me. You want to live in a hip part of town. I’m not going to cry for you that you can’t walk to Whole Foods and have to live in Arlington or Bethesda instead. If you’re trying to make ends meet and live in, say, Michigan Park, or Ft.…

I usually call them trust fund babies or Hill staffers, but I guess refugees works too.

I almost got into an accident this morning because of a dude salmoning up a bike line while I was going down. Fuck these things.
