Glad I’m not the only one who saw that. Calling soul-crushing overtime required to fix poor planning and communication “magic!” is a fucking dark condemnation of leadership, and it was never sustainable.

The real story here is that no one in her family ever felt the need to quietly change their name. Imagine meeting “Jeff and Sally Hitler.” 

It’s the easiest way to deal with the cognitive dissonance that comes from being a bigot and thinking you’re a good person 

I don’t mind armed security (celebs getting stalkers and death threats aren’t uncommon), but the twitchy dude who had a little panic attack because he wasn’t paying attention definitely set off my alarm bells. 

I’m positive about what it’s good for. It’s an anti-drone drone; a defensive system. It’s not going to fly 15 minutes toward anything, it’s going to stay within a couple hundred yards of your important stuff/people and murder weaponized enemy drones.  

Because that’s how brands get reputations?

That’s the weird part, though. Pleas are public record -- if he’d made one, it would be the headline of every story about this case. He didn’t plea anything, they just...stopped.

My grandmother used to take the Amtrak to come visit...because she’s terrified of flying and can’t drive. So. Rationale lines up.

I think it’s just a bad quote? Like he was trying to say he was glad they walked away but completely flubbed the line? who tf knows anymore..

I’m reading through this thread and I’m wondering if “Here’s a glossary of different types of assholes, what they’re called, what they want, and how they try to hide it” with links to the SPLC and such might be a handy article to have around. Or is that an unhealthy concentration of evil shit/too much of a lightning…

I’m lactose intolerant and I’m reporting all of your meeting foods to HR

*nods* the Palpatine Principle, yes.

Came here to say this. Soda’s definitely bad for you (I...easily swing +/- about ten pounds based purely on whether I’ve been drinking it or not), but these articles always make it sound like “31% increase” means “you’ve got a 1 in 3 chance of spontaneously dying right now oh god run it’s right behind you” 

I mean...non-zero chance that was their second job

My new goddamn band name, that’s what. 

Newman, a “very committed Christian,” told Campus Reform that she felt “punched in the stomach” by the university’s statement

What is dead may never die

Because when you have nothing to actually contribute, there’s always a buck to be made by playing the “too edgy for valve FREE SPEECH THEY CENSOR ME” card to the edgelords who’ll buy it purely because everyone else said it was fucking gross.
