Yeah, I saw his name in the headline and thought for sure it was because he’d finally died. Putin is probably scared that killing him at this point will turn him into a martyr and galvanize his base, especially with the disastrous war in Ukraine already help shift public opinion.

Yikes, pretty mean to call her an idiot. Seems like a high probability she was suffering from an eating disorder and/or other mental health issues. Most people don’t starve themselves to death out of stupidity.

It seems pretty clear the friend is in an abusive relationship, so it really isn’t that simple. The comment you’re replying to literally described how their friend felt unsafe taking any action, especially with her child living there, so I think that’s your answer.

That drives me crazy and also the reviews who leave a confusing number of stars compared to their comment. “Best food I’ve ever had in my life, no complaints!” 3 out of 5 stars

Anger somehow don’t count as an emotion in the patriarchy.

That’s only for president. Naturalized citizens can run for all other public office positions.

Oh man, I have something sort of similar going on. My company apparently appends a disclaimer at the end of our emails sent externally but doesn’t show up on our end at all. I noticed when re-reading an email chain with my quoted reply and there was a huge block of text… in Spanish. I’m not sure if I’m even supposed to have a disclaimer at all (could be on by default for everyone) but certainly not in Spanish since I don’t speak it. Such an odd thing and also leaves me wondering did someone fat finger something or what the hell happened? It feels especially weird because my last name is Spanish origin and people do frequently mistake me for being Latina (I’m Filipino lol.) Even if I did speak Spanish though, all of my business is within the US so it wouldn’t make sense to have the disclaimer exclusively in Spanish.

Wow. Entirely unsurprising, but no less disappointing or infuriating.

Very Wes Anderson-y in a good way.

Oh good, another thing to love about living in Texas.

Sure, but that’s entirely beside the point here. Nobody is celebrating people being laid off en masse. The law changed because these jobs were apparently not being occupied to begin with,

The article snippet quoted here literally says this was in response to industry staffing shortages…
