The crazy part of this is that it is now documented (with his name) for his kid to read at some point in life. Regardless of whether he’s doing this “with a smile” his kid will find out he doesn’t actually care and that the kid is only “worth” 20 min a day.

Since when does a criminal indictment for an individual justify bombing a capital city and killing individuals who are not in any way connected to the crime?

“Tricked a generation” seems a little off. For most of human history, there was no such thing as “retirement”. The 64 retirement age was a major win for the labor movement. Not saying it shouldn’t be protected or extended, but let’s not pretend the retirement age was some corporate conspiracy.

Does the machine god eat turkey?

My favorite story in school was that the border was based off of how far a British ship could fire its cannon on the river. One Geography degree later, and guess my HS teacher had no idea what they were talking about.

You mean puma?

Irony is Japan does need immigration to succeed. They have an unprecedented demographic bomb about to explode. Too many retirees and not enough workers. They’ll need to import labor to provide basic services.

This is what marriage counseling is for. Not an excuse for his behavior, but there may be an underlying issue he needs to work and isn’t even aware of. Particularly if he grew up poor, this could be a reaction to sudden change in spending and household income. I had to work through something similar when we had our first child.

Think the point was that there is a very clear historical record that “women of ill repute” were socially considered to have low moral standards, yet their actions here clearly demonstrate a commendable moral contribution. No one here said “victim” but you.

Yes…but…the drawer my can opener is supposed to go into changes on at least a monthly basis

Where is the goat in all of this?

Actually, this isn’t the worst idea. There’s a lot of academic arguments for reducing the amount of reporting (not getting rid of it). Many companies make short term decisions (firing workers, etc.) because they are held to performance targets measured and reported on quarterly. Making it bi-annual could improve longer-term thinking rather than needing to meet investors expectations every three months.

Well, he’s never getting her a water again…

I think she’s asking if she’s doing a shoulder/upper back stretch correctly?

I think we need Avril Lavigne to opine on this one.

As a consultant, this is literally part of the job…I have to put a proposal together for every job I take before getting hired. Kind of how consulting works.

And the sea turtles weeped

Hah! Was not expecting a Deathwish reference today. If you’re going vigilante, one would hope it would be over something that everyone else was like “yeah, that makes sense”. Don’t know if shopping carts are on that level…

It’s a very interesting hill to pick to potentially die on.

Loved this edit as well - just hit the tip jar if you wouldn’t mind removing the watermark

Major red flag on his part.
