My perspective is that in his first term, he rewarded loyalty but also attempted to place some pieces based on merit. He learned that he needed more loyalty to do what he wanted, (Pence wouldn't do what trunp wanted on j6), so he's going all out loyalist this go around.

Hopefully yall are right. They incompetence is so great they're wildly useless. Because we've already seen they're will be no consequences for their actions

I hate the, "make an appointment online!" Button that basically just turns into them calling you instead of you calling them. If I wanted to talk on the phone, I would have called you at my convenience. You calling me is way less convenient. Don't put that I can make an appointment online if I can't

I feel like the things I want to call you besides calling out your lack of diamond hands will get me banned but would be normal wallstreetbets language

The problem is, you used to be able to comfortably live that life. Now if you stay at the same company, your wages won't increase at a rate to sustain your life style. Companies care way more about acquiring talent than retaining talent, so you need to move around to make enough money

“It is not necessary for the House of Representatives to show that the dealings involved a quid pro quo to rise to the level of an impeachable offense.”

You wrote 291 pages and admit, in the document, that you don't make your point?

their trades are public

Up to 45 days after the trade is made.

While not technically insider trading because they don't work for the companies they're trading, they definitely have access to privileged macro economic knowledge

We know

People that work in classified environments. You can't have smart devices (phones, watches, anything that communicates with the outside) while in these controlled spaces. pagers are acceptable because they're 1 way communication, so there's no risk of data leaks from the classified space

You're totally off. Remember she's been producing hits for about 20 years. So that teenage demographic has grown up, she continually gets the younger demo, but they never seem to leave. My wife and all her friends, at 35, are a bunch of die hard swifties. Her reach is immense

As a dad of two girls, these jokes exist in a lot of kids stuff. Part of what makes it funny is you're not expecting it, so it catches you completely off guard. Then you laugh out loud and you kids either laugh too because they think there was something funny to laugh at, or they just look at you like you've got 2 heads. Both responses only make it funnier to me

Maximum sentence per conviction is 5k or 4 years in prison... he'll get a $170k fine then head down to the Winchester

Being deliberate with your word choice so the intention of your words is ambiguous. Similar to "intentionally vague"

As an ohioian, I can assure you no one gives a shit about vance and he stands for nothing. He's a Muppet who says what he's told to say

What’s the most common reason applicants for a security clearance are denied? Botched finances, the same one that causes those with clearances to lose them.

The reason is self-evident: Military personnel in deep debt are considered more open to bribes or accepting money in exchange for revealing secrets

Really not hard to put 2 and 2 together

This is a text interpretation of a voice mail

You're also seeing him use the word cheater recently. I noticed it front and center when he was trying to say that Harris' rally audience was AI generated and called her a cheater... guess what he's going to say come election time?

I think because we've seen cat 5s do less damage across the nation. The category is for wind strength and doesn't necessarily corelate with flooding /rain fall

I think they mean for the standard daily cleaning we used to get included. God forbid they dip into record profits. They'll pass the extra labor cost onto the consumer

Do you sit at the bar and wear pineapple swim trunks? That'd probably help

The thing I'd like to see more of is people (outside of here) admitting they're voting for Biden even tho he's not ideal. We all know who trump is, and Biden gets a lot of flack, and I think it's going to persuade a lot of people from going out and voting.

People need to know that it's acceptable, encouraged even, to vote for the guy who isn't as bad, even if you don't like him. Just because you don't agree with everything he says or does, you agree with him more than the other guy.

Im in some groups with some trumpers, and I'll throw out memes making fun of trump, then they just say stupid incomprehensible things about Biden and I say "lol good one" and they don't know what the fuck to do

We saw this same thing with tesla a few years back before they did their split. People are investing in the man, not the company. It's strange

Short term options are currently valuing almost 400% volatility. Your gonna pay out the ass for put options or for the margin required for a short sale. I wouldn't go anywhere near this.

As they say... that's priced in.

The price it trades at doesn't mean hardly anything. You have to look at shares outstanding and total valuation and market cap to compare companies. And in that regard, reddit is about 4B more valuable that truth

I believe he was talking about a political map and how the state was a lot of red counties/ Land area and he said something like, "there's not a lot of people there. It's mostly rocks and cows. "

I know someone in corporate McDonalds. They were pissed the instant they found out. They have a saying internally, "were not red or blue, were golden." They intentionally don't take political stances. This franchise owner acted without corporate blessing, and if I had to guess, that message was intentionally not passed up the chain.

I never heard anything about that, but to the "never took a bullet," comment, I believe that's technically true.

I'm somewhat of an expert in things that go super sonic. While i haven't seen an image of the damaged ear, the images I saw on the day it happened don't indicate the bullet actually hit him. His ear would be way more mangled. The damage to his ear was likely caused by the sonic shock wave off the bullet.

Still cheaper than if you had to pay for human health problems (in the USA at least)

Yeah pretty sure that's a war crime under the Rome Statute. Emphasis mine.

The law applicable in international armed conflict forbids “mak[ing] improper use of … the military insignia and uniform of the enemy …” (Art. 23(f) of the Hague Regulations of 1899 and 1907; Art. 39 of Additional Protocol I; Art. 8(2)(b)(vii) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court). Not all uses of enemy uniforms are prohibited therefore; only “improper” uses. For example, wearing enemy uniforms in order to flee the fighting or escape capture does not run afoul of the law (U.S. Department of Defense Law of War Manual § 5.23.1.4). On the other side of the spectrum, engaging in attacks while wearing the uniform of the enemy is flatly prohibited, as affirmed in the treaty law and numerous military manuals (see here, here and here, for example), and is a war crime under the Rome Statute.

The "get a beer with" thing is about trust and being comfortable. Sounds like, "handing him a piglet" is your version of this. His reaction makes you trust and be comfortable with him as a decent human.

I vote, you now use the phrase, "I'd hand that guy a piglet." And make it your own.

Not the guy you replied to, but "a few dollars" is bullshit. My wife and I owe almost $100k MORE than when we graduated due to interest. And we've made every payment since we graduated in 2010. Our monthly payments don't even cover interest

Pre edit: after I wrote that, I wondered if you realized the person you responded to meant they weren't paying their own loans

I assumed this chart is from hospital data, which does care about age

You've got a user name only a mother could love

Idk as an Ohioan, I've know this guys a piece of work for at least 8 years. No research was required when the pick was made to understand the ramifications. Dudes a Muppet. my first thought was "Trump got his 'yes man' who will do what Pence wouldn't."

History has shown what that impact is. Get out and fucking vote

I'd like to know ... how to be a more interesting candidate

Homie is just trying to be better and being frustrated they aren't getting feedback on how to be better

Im sure youre right. My point is thats not even a niche topic. A quick Google estimates there are 21 million viewers PER GAME every week. There are literally hundreds of millions of fans of the nfl, but even a subject so popular can't maintain a healthy community on lemmy, how are these niche topics supposed to stand a chance at survival?

My wife does. But she's a sucker for "a good deal"

I dont ever click on them myself, but if I start searching for something I need/want, and I see a brand I'm familiar with thru advertising, I'm more likely to explore their product, at least. Simply just because, "of I've heard of this before"

I know someone who works in corporate McDonalds and the whole organization is pissed. Corporate didn't bless this. They have an internal saying, "were not red or blue, were golden." Meaning they stay out of politics. They don't want to be anywhere near this shit
