No they can’t. Unless they can show some need, like we’re dealing with heart patients where their pacemaker might be disrupted, and even then probably not. 

You do realize how mandated, paid, vacations get paid for, right? I mean it’s not like you’re getting free hotel rooms on the beach here. Either the government pays for them through taxes or businesses pay for them through increased cost of goods. Either way, you, the consumer, wind up paying for your vacations as…

if he wants to do the right thing and hand out his money before he dies

It’s not just the top 1%. If I am not mistaken he’s paying capital gains taxes on that money because it is not payroll income. In other words, this is an investment, not a paycheck, and it’s taxed differently. He’s paying the highest rate of 20% since his income is over $400K. If it was under that he would pay 15% or…

Campaign finance reform and term limits. Take the money out of running for office and kick those suckers to the curb after 1 or 2 terms. There should be no lifetime of politics as a career choice for anyone. 

Yes, there usually is a mobile version. But I think the thought process is that with so many people accessing via mobile devices, just make the regular and mobile site similar if not the same. 

Probably because they are trying to build mobile friendly sites. More people are accessing the web via mobile devices than ever before. 

Snappy comeback.

We trash talk our friends and when playing in private games we throw around all sorts of shit. We are a diverse group of men, women, whites, African Americans, and Latinos of ages ranging from the 20s to the 60s. If you ever heard anything we say in private you might be horrified, until you understood the nature of…

I think it’s funny when someone trash talks at you with no real basis for it. Some guy was ripping on my Overwatch play yesterday, suggesting I should practice more and I killed him 4 times in a row right after that. Then he started suggesting I was using a bot of some sort, which is really funny if you know me. I…

So funny to see journalist twisting in the wind over the release of their private information. And yet one journalist didn’t think twice about releasing info about gun owners. Why is it journalist should be afforded privacy when they are more than happy to violate a private citizen’s privacy?

I was thinking the same exact thing. All these new books are “the first” or “the latest” in a series. Can’t someone just write one decent story that doesn’t sound like every other space opera out there?

Using stereotypes is just frankly... lazy writing.

inaccurate stereotypes

Actually bald men have been marginalized to some extent. Male baldness had a stigma attached to it for many years. Why do you think there is Rogaine and Men’s Hair Club? Are people really being oppressed by this character in a video game? Doesn’t seem likely.

I thought it was going to be Ronald McDonald doing Hamburgler. I’m so disappointed now.

True, but usually one has to remove or at least drop the pants and hoist the skirt. 

Not to mention that stabby-pointy stick I got last week. Now my buddy, Ogg, has a thing that will shoot stabby-pointy sticks through the air!

Sorry if I took it the wrong way. I guess I’m a little sensitive when people start their reply with an ad hominem attack. Yours is not particularly offensive compared to most. Humor is hard to detect sometimes with the written word. My bad.

That’s a different issue than crafting the “quotes” being used for marketing. If you don’t like using public resources then it won’t matter what the quotes say because you shouldn’t be using public resources in the first place. Which, by the way, I happen to agree with.
