I think the left needs to play the game we at once point half jokingly accused trump of. Start committing acts so obviously outside of the intent of the law, but safely within the letter of the law, that the right takes advantage of it and sues our changes the law to tighten the loopholes. Fire people for being Christian, forbid a newspaper from reporting a negative story, publicly accept insider information and bread about how much money you made by knowing when to buy and sell, openly accept a bribe by starting a fake crypto, and cashing out right after a foreign company buys it for a million per coin and then dumps it. Make people understand openly how many hidden rules are free and open for the rich and political and shut them down.

He did not seriously say the valhalla line, did he? Please tell me that was actual satire?

Can we find the person who, for no apparent reason, interpreted manufacturers markings as apparent 'trans ideology' and ask him wtf that was supposed to accomplish? I mean if you don't know what some markings mean, aside from blatant bias is there any possible way to get to 'trans ideology' from manufacturers markings? Are they using male/female icons? Emojis? Printing them in rainbow colors?

What if it was one more step, or two more steps? Would you complain about it then? I just call up the shipper and ask them to ask the courier how long is going to be. It's literally not that hard?

Seriously, who the fuck would that book have been given to to sign, that would forge a message from fuckwit nobody Trump back then? Who would possibly have anything to gain by both faking a message, and it being 'that' message, just a bland, shallow half inside joke sounding thing with a drawing?

Exactly, especially if you say start on Tuesday instead of Monday, why would you not just assume there was some reason for not having you start on Monday?

Yeah, my response was more related to being expected to show up a day early and how much hassle that would legitimately cause in a general sense. In specific situations it obviously works out just fine. If you have a sense that they would be ready and interested in getting a head start, sure... But to say 'start on Tuesday' instead of scheduling for Monday, and then having even a sense of disappointment that they didn't show up on Monday is beyond ridiculous.

Showing up a few minutes early to work could make sense, but showing up a day early? WTF? Why would someone possibly tell you to start work on Tuesday unless there was some reason Monday intentionally wouldn't work? I mean ffs, either you won't be in the system, keys aren't ready, your friggin co-workers may not be ready, no desk... And you want to show up a friggin day early and make someone babysit you on top of their regular job?

Who is it really, and who is Jim Lahey?

It's that thing a lot of people seem to achieve when they get successful either though luck or talent, and start acting like, or maybe actually believing, they are the smartest person in whatever room they walk into. Unfortunately it hovers on that line between confidence and overconfidence, and far to many trip over that line, especially when they start surrounding themselves with people who have no choice but to feed that expectation. They start to push against the line, justifying their missteps until they can't even see them in any sort of perspective anymore. It's when any criticism is considered a personal affront, when questions are considered an attack and someone disagreeing with them isn't disagreeing, they're wrong.

Seems like you missed something there, op didn't mention how much the China models actually cost. Only that they're subsidized and that we should also subsidize

Makes that 'are we the baddies?' a whole lot easier to answer.
