I could be wrong, but this is pretty much the equivalent of it’s on life support but no function.

So… ever be out in the heat where you’re just going to sweat?

Ever be sweaty where your balls stick to your leg?

When I wear a kilt, sometimes I wear underwear because it keeps parts from sticking.

100% this.

The Republicans have made it a point that there will be NO ticket where a democrat runs unopposed. They knew local laws would help. Hell, right now you can’t get a head of a library fight going without the republicans turning it into an outright vicious fight. They want to control all levels of government and are willing to do it. I was pissed during the election on Hillary on “Well, she’s not good enough” while not paying attention that they were aiming at the Supreme Court.

When it’s said “Go out and vote” it isn’t meant every 4 years when the presidential fight is up. It’s that daily grind over stupid petty laws that they chip away on in the cities, counties, etc that you need to be able to show up. The Republicans, and if you consider them separate the far right absolutely get this. I am shocked by the lefts inability to comprehend it.

Bought mine for work. Need a second pair for around the house. I LOVE them.

This. I despise how sweet white chocolate tastes. I like that rich bitterness to dark chocolate.

But I was the weird kid who grew up liking dark chocolate over milk chocolate.

“Several told POLITICO they fear the issue will play into Democrats’ characterization of Republicans as favoring a whitewashing of American history. Most saw it as an unforced error at the time when Black Republicans feel they’ve been making significant strides within the party.”

So VERY close to being self-aware, and yet so far.

Like, how does that even work?

So it works by getting money, climbing the ladder, then yanking up the ladder and tossing a moletov on those below so that they can be a token for the default to go “We’re not homophobic, see we have gay/trans friends!”

Standard Millennial means I’ve had so so many, but I can define one specifically, my first “career” job.

Worked in a construction job with inspection. Anyone who’s worked in construction knows it’s feast or famine depending on season, winter/rainy season may not be a lot of work. I was told everyone was to help out around the lab, there was one full time lab guy who did need help. Took them at their word and helped him out, all the other techs ran away. This led to a lot of overtime. A LOT because I was in the field expected to show up to availability to jobs 24/7 but also work regular office hours. Led to interactions like in a meeting

“No more overtime, there’s too little work” “YES!” “No @Azal, you’re still bringing in money.”

As you can guess, there was a lot of bullshit piling on. But the one that made it happen was them taking out the one thing that made the job tolerable. The vacation policy was such that if a holiday came on and you had no hours, you didn’t get paid. All your PTO was earned a certain amount of time based on your work. What this meant was you had guys that worked there for years but barely scraped 40 hour weeks and used up all their PTO in hunting season and whined when there was no pay at Christmas. Me, who worked 80+ hours weeks was able to take a week long vacation, first I’ve ever done, and when a snowstorm blasted the state and shut everything down I didn’t miss out on pay when the week there was no work to be done.

So that next year they changed vacation policy. 1-5 years, 1 week vacation. 5-10 years 1.5 weeks and so on, now holidays didn’t count against your PTO.

I promptly went and got my CDL and left that shithole of a job.

This is it right here!

Last time a job tried to hire me from my current position, it was all about the money, my company was willing to compete. I stayed with the company.

This time where I’m throwing applications like campaign pamphlets, I’m willing to take a cut in pay.

It is shocking how a year can have a company go to the shitter.
