Call the cops, go inside and have a beer.

And you know how good people are with fat fingering things. “E 400 S? No, you’re supposed to be at S 400 E!” Thanks.

It’s not intuitive to anyone, because it’s not an intuitive system.

It’s the same problem I have with addresses in Germany, frequently evens and odds are not determinate of which side of the street things are on and numbers are not divided in any way that offers additional information. You know 115 is next to 116, but…

Disagree about which piece of info is more specific although it may depend where you live. In a mostly grid city the numeric portion of the address corresponds to the distance from a 0,0 point or road in the case of North/South divisions. There are streets that have hundreds of blocks so saying “I live on Washington…

Generally a college degree indicates a higher floor to the level of reading and writing skill that an applicant has, regardless of what their degree is in.

You buy one, and so do some other resellers, and the store only has 50 to begin with you’re pretty much guaranteeing that no one who bought them actually wants them, and everyone who does is paying a 25% fee for “convenience” which they wouldn’t need if you had just stayed out of the situation in the first place.…

Check the employee handbook if there is one, I gave two weeks notice as a courtesy, but more so because it guaranteed me a payout of 200+ hours of paid time off. If that’s not your situation and you don’t have any ties to your bosses then throw up some deuces and walk.

Absolutely correct.

If you’re leaving without another offer lined up and they fire you instead of letting you quit then grab your free paycheck and move on.

I gave the company I worked for 9 months notice for an extended backpacking trip, they assumed I was joking until about two weeks before I left. I ended up back at the same company and gave them two weeks notice when I left again and had people coming out of the woodwork to offer positive references because they…

Your post is why I will never play Dark Souls III. Because you play it and I’m not entirely sure that I can prevent you from ever playing it with me.

The first Iraq war was carried out by a coalition of over 100 countries with the full backing the on the United Nations. The second one had absolutely nothing to do with world policing and morality, although it did have a bad guy, it was literally manufactured for no reasonable purpose.

I don’t think either applies to…

Texas is not covered in hundreds of miles of dense jungle that hasn’t been disturbed for hundreds of years. Technically, yes, Hawaii is more remote than a lot of places by distance, but not by ease of travel.

Rapeling into a dense canopy jungle is not something generally done both for the safety of both parties. Go outside an throw a fishing line with an action figure through a tree then try to remove it. Try to imagine the injuries sustained by the action figure as you smack him into branches. Get snagged? You may have…

The Dutch never had power comparable to the British at the height of their power, or the U.S. or Soviets during the Cold War or currently. They were certainly a power in trade, finance, and culture for a time but to say they ruled the world in the same sense that other powers have is overstating.

Compared to British, French, Spanish, and even Portugese and U.S. colonialism; Dutch colonialism is about as important as Belgian. It happened, but once it ended it’s unsurprisingly forgotten.

If he was Mongolian would you be less of a prick?

Fine, it’s Lawrence of Arabia in Space?

Although T.E. Lawrence never really liked or respected the Arabs which is a pretty big split from DwW and Avatar. It’s the premise of coming from another world to destroy, finding its beauty, and trying to save it. T.E. Lawrence came from another world and then convinced the…

It claims to support down-ticket races. Citation needed on actual financial contributions to other races.

Why can’t these lessor races achieve enough money on their own?

Is your argument literally, “He doesn’t fund the machine, without the machine we can’t win”?

Over the last two days I’ve heard more use of the term “downballot” than in the rest of my life and only in Gawker comments. Polito, Kos, fuck, CNN, RT, Fox News.

There seems to be a very dedicated push to call out Sanders for “not supporting the downballot”. Where was this question two months ago and show me who has…

I had my enlistment delayed by months for a non-violent, non-felony, non-conviction that was over a decade old. Apparently different recruitment battalions have different standards.
