Nah, the fix is gonna have to be a workaround

Ah, yes. The “do nothing but cross your fingers and pray it doesn’t bite you in the ass” workaround.

An insult to shit.

I think the rule is: if a headline asks a question, the answer is always “no”.

Those of you women living in U.S. red states will be familiar with the feeling.

Holy shit!

I never knew anything about Thom Yorke, but I just googled him, and there’s one where I work too!

“Ooo… This is neat. I want it.”

“Ooo… That one is neat too. I want it.”

Bam! Now you’re a collector.

Shit. I’d eat chili with Biden.

I was under the impression that you prick the skin to make it easier for the moisture to exit the potato so it gets drier and therefore fluffier.

But my wife just said she had a potato explode when she didn’t poke it enough.

Someone sell this asshole a polar bear liver.

I have an electric lighter that we use for lighting candles. It charges via USB and generates a short spark between two contacts to light the candle.

I am also aware of a manager at my job who got fired for playing those games. Fired and security-escorted out.

Knowing the department director and how she felt about the employees, she was probably enraged when she found out what the manager under her was doing.

Here it’s very difficult to fire an employee after the probationary period, but managers are relatively easy to fire. There’s a three strikes rule for managers. Whenever a PIA manager starts being extra nice to everyone, you know they just got reported to HR for a second time.

Screwing with time cards in the U.S. is extra double bad because of federal law.

If the employee can prove the manager has done it, they’ve proven that their employer is both guilty of wage theft, and also that they’ve destroyed the records showing how much time you actually worked. So usually the employees get to say how much they are owed, and the employer has no way to argue against it.

If I recall correctly, if it was an honest mistake, the employer has to pay back two times what was owed. If it was intentional, then they have to pay back three times what was owed.

There aren’t many worker protections in the U.S., but that particular set of laws is ok. Of course, there could be additional protections in state or local laws.

Edit: clarification and typo.

Internet jerks unite!!!

I’m just a dickhead on the Internet, but what you’re describing doesn’t sound normal or healthy to me. Have you tried therapy?

I know the expectation is for the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse this ruling.

However, I think there are plenty of Republicans that recognize things have gone wrong for them and would like to see Trump eliminated, particularly if they can complain that it was a terrible thing that they would never support.

Is there no one in his life that can tell Elon to shave that shit off?

They are kind of stuck. They have to find companions who don’t have children or responsibilities. The best majority of the people who land in those categories are younger folks.

Me and the wife will probably see if there’s something on TV.

This is not advice.

I hated spam calls. Got them constantly.

I decided to just fuck with them mercilessly. I’d answer almost every time. Even if I had to drop whatever I was doing. My single overriding goal was to keep them on the line as long as possible and then, once discovered, piss them off as much as possible.

I’ve been doing this for years. No YouTube channel or anything. I didn’t record the calls. Just a personal hobby of mine.

If I was at work, I’d try to keep them talking while I ignored them and kept working. If I wasn’t busy, I’d interact more.

Initially, it seemed to cause a massive increase in spam calls. Like, it seemed fairly obvious to me that I was getting more calls because I was responding. Since I enjoyed fucking with them, I didn’t mind getting them any more.

I always figured I was at least tying up one scammer for as long as possible.

After awhile all my calls were hangups. I’d answer, and then they would immediately disconnect. I know that happens sometimes because the robo caller calls multiple lines at once and drops all but the first one that answers, but it started happening every time for me.

A few months ago I read about some scam call networks getting busted. I wondered if it would have any effect.

Seems like it has. I don’t even get one call or week anymore.

“Yo momma so fat she has fatty liver disease” just doesn’t hit the same.

As an American I think 40% is way too low.
