Keeping up with this trial is sending my anger and anxiety through the roof. I have some preexisting medical issues and one of my biggest fears is that I’ll be in a situation where police have escalated it to a physical altercation, and if I end up getting seriously injured as a result then I will be blamed for…

Came here for this.

Exactly. We already have self-driving transportation: they’re called “the Bus”. We already have hyperloops: they’re called “Buss Routes”

This isn’t just a situation of “that’s my boat, give it back, sorry I knocked over your sand castle”. Imagine all the clients, customers, and business interests that are involved with all the shipments on the Ever Given. Image all the insurance claims and lawsuits being filed by all those parties right now as a…

Like if you made dumb wear a cape.

I’d sleep in that coffin

The funny thing is, this is what “political activism” looks like to Republicans. All these people milling about not really accomplishing anything and then they get to go home thinking “job well done”. Its like when the Soviets would invent BS jobs to reduce unemployment when that job wasn’t necessary in the first…

Ahhh, the duality of being obsessed with celebrity and then making fun of the celebrity for eliciting obsession.

I was going to say that if this one is staged then at least it looks like they’re using actual gasoline, but you don’t actually see her use the pump. So, really it could be anything in that bag ... anything

Also, am I banned on Jezebel or something? I understand being in the grays but nothing I post here is even showing up in the “pending” section.

That’s the funny thing, most of the other retail stores I worked at had all the bullshit metrics you mentioned but management’s attitude was a bit more realistic and grounded; they understood not every customer is going to sign up for a credit card or get the warranty and generally they told me to “just do your best,…

This is absolutely true. I was fresh out of high school around those years and applied a few times for video game retail jobs and each time the interviewing managers wanted me to show my aggressive persuasion and sales skills. I know every retail job has an element of this but the game stores were on a whole other…

Cohen played all the stinkin’ investors on Reddit like a harp from hell.

The headline is where you put all the informative details though:

The European Commission outranks the Council so Ursula von der Leyen should’ve been the one sitting next to Erdogan. It would’ve been appropriate for Charles Michel to relegate himself to the couch but he was more interested in bowing and kissing Erdogan’s hands, literally.

Ugh, didn’t even notice that mistake. And wtf is “Don’t Be A Menace” doing there? They’re going to put that over “CB4" or “Mo Money”?

Turkey’s human rights violations, jailing/murder of journalists and dissidents, historic revisionism and genocide denial has been appeased by the US and European countries for decades because they don’t want to risk disrupting all the trade and oil going through the country. Its an absolute bad-faith compromise with…

I forgot about “Bamboozled” until you mentioned it, its an absolute must!!

Wanted to mention also “Baadasssss!”, Mario Van Peebles’s awesome biopic/tribute to his dad

As President of the European Commission, von der Leyen outranks Michel and should’ve had the chair. Also, during this whole fiasco Charles Michel went out of his way to kiss Erdogan’s misogynist ass.
