If I'm a coworker in this situation I don't care. If I'm a manager in this situation I just don't bother training them on anything but the basics for the job.

Players still aren't allowed to gamble. Coaches sure aren't. Player- coaches sure as fuck aren't. Player-coaches who pull themselves in high- pressure situations for a Mendoza-line player can get fucked.

I thought that those were levels of price reduction.

.99 is normal

.98 is on sale

.97 is deep sale, never going to be cheaper

That's how my buddy who worked at WallyWorld 20 years ago explained it.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Seriously. I bought a book online as a gift, intending to pick it up on my way through Portland. They didn't have it ready when I showed up, so they mailed it to me free of charge.

Related to Dunbar's number. The human brain is only capable of really recognizing around 100 people as actual people and understanding interactions with them. Everybody else in the world is only a person in a vague, nebulous sort of way.

Seattle PD is and has always been terrible. For a city with as little violent crime as we are, you would think that we would have a semi-competant police force. We aren't Baltimore or Chicago or Memphis. We don't need a violent, antagonistic, adversarial police force. Yet decade after decade, Seattle PD shows themselves to be the worst of the worst of violent white nationalists.

SPD's training standards are embarrassingly low. SPD's staffing numbers are embarrassing low. Rookie cops make over $100k and the right-wing pundits say it's not enough, while first-year teachers make $55k and the right-wing pundits say it's too much. They blame the BLM riots and say that the city betrayed them, but the average person here had absolutely zero faith in them well before the riots. Most SPD officers don't actually live in Seattle.

Sorry if the second paragraph got a bit into unhinged-rant territory, but shit like this is infuriating. SPD is so clearly shit and needs to be purged.

Hillary Clinton had classified emails in a private, password-protected server. Conservatives have spent over a decade frothing at the mouth, calling for her head. The DOJ announced that they would investigate her two weeks before the 2016 election, possibly dooming her campaign.

Donald Trump had classified documents in a box in the shitter at his private residence while a Russian envoy was there, and conservatives think that's all cool.

No. They just know that Republicans and their cable news sycophants will do the exact thing they did with the Hur report.

Ignore the overall findings, find one sentence in it that spins it negative, soundbite the fuck out of it, and repeat it ad nauseum.

And yes, this is the same thing Trump did. And Obama. And Bush. This has been a standard move for decades. It's just news now because of the regressive morons in congress and their orange dictator-in-waiting.

The only surprising part of any of this is that this asshole apologized to her neighbor.

Punish him by making him watch Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves 300 times.

Anybody question why his social media company has a revenue stream roughly equal to that of a single McDonald's franchise, yet is valued at 9 billion dollars?

This is why I've really been trying to make the 'Orange Julius' nickname stick.

There's a small craft brewery in small-town Wisconsin that partnered with a coffee roaster to make a canned coffee called "Woke". The coffee is pretty good, and the beer is damn good.

They piss off the local right-wing government, so they're constantly getting shut down, but it usually only lasts a couple weeks.

My work magically got a supply of N95 masks early in Covid. It was unexpected, so we didn't have a plan or a system for them. Didn't think to have a limit or anything.

A crew from Albert Lee bought every single one, took them back to their store, and sold them at 100% markup.

I dunno. They've amassed 90% of their population along the US border.

A few years ago I asked a customer for a list of employees, so I could verify who could purchase on their account. They replied with their personnel files. Luckily it didn't have social security numbers, but it had a LOT of personal information. Medical records, drug test results, stuff like that.

He was in charge of American foreign policy during and immediately after the Vietnam War. TLDR he made policy decisions that led to the deaths of probably over 4 million people.

Seattle PD is pretty fucking bad.

Seattle Police Officer's Guild is even worse.

The leadership at SPOG is about as bad a it gets in big cities. Look at anything that Mike Solan has done in his career, but especially look into his words and actions around the BLM riots and CHOP. It's fucking embarrassing that a city of our caliber has a police force of their caliber.

If you owe the bank $100 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $100k, the bank has a problem.

You're not wrong, Walter. You're just an asshole!

What's the point of taking a vacation if I don't get to send my coworkers pictures of my airport mimosa as they're clocking in at 8am?

Roller derby in the 70s was likely scripted. Modern roller derby is almost definitely not. Tons of legit athleticism and power out there.

It's a little dated by now, but watch Blood on the Flat Track. It's about the Roller Derby resurgence from 15ish years ago.

A man was arrested outside the Kremlin for holding a sign that said "Putin is an imbecile!"

He was sentenced to two years for slander and five years for spilling state secrets.

And Blackwater is forever stained with the blood of innocents. But Academi is totally fine guys.

It was a disturbingly close call which side of WWII we were gonna land on. In 1939 the second-largest Nazi party in the world was right here in America.

Bust out the Crown and Coke, bitches, we got a new Cambodian holiday!

Evolution gave man a brain and a penis, and not enough blood to run 'em both at the same time.

Trump should motion for a bad court thingie.

It's possibly the peak of bro comedy. It's fairly tongue-in-cheek and mocks it's own hyper-macho characters enough that I think all the toxic masculinity works. As long as you watch it with that in mind it ages pretty decently.

Didn't he play the bad guy in Back to the Future II?

/s, sorta.

Don't forget the cop who tweeted "black lives splatter LOL" after a woman was killed at one of the BLM protests.

Or the lieutenant who asked everyone to refer to him as Obergruppenführer and had Nazi memorabilia in his office. And yes, that was the local sheriff's department not Seattle PD, but still...

Eh. Bezos is rich enough he doesn't pay taxes. He'd just move his assets into a different state and claim the interstate commerce clause or some shit.

How many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One. Because Germans are efficient and lack humor.

Yeah, this is seriously double-plus ungood.

"I don't need to hear the arguments! Just tell me how that sonofabitch Brenner voted and I'll vote against him!"

The only ability you have in French is to judge. It's what the language is for.
