Not gonna lie, I laughed harder than I should have at that! I'm with congress. The government went deep into debt to chuck cash at the populace during COVID, so what would this accomplish aside from more of the same? Guess who pays the government's debt. That's right, the people. So this...

I mean, they're high school students, so definitely not any rubbernecking going on 😅 I have no qualms about ladies my own age dressing that way!

Everyone dreams every night, as long as they're entering REM sleep. Which you'll need to do, else it becomes a medical emergency within a week. A lot of people think you'd remember a dream if you had one, but that's not true. You only remember dreams if you awaken from the REM stage of the...

I drive by a high school daily on my way to my client's. We've had a few hot days lately, and the female students have taken to going shirtless (just in their bra) and wearing shorts so short you can see asscheek. I guess that's how far they have to go to rebel as teenagers now. Anything less...

He's an idiot in some ways, but I wouldn't classify him overall as a moron. He's a self-made billionaire. You may disagree with his beliefs and his antics, but it's hardly appropriate to call him a moron. But the moral of the story: don't bite the hand that feeds you. Commenting on...

Yeah, the "winning" is in not seeing it as an argument that can or should be won. I mean, if you want her to feel the loss, then you've already lost because why would you get satisfaction from that at all? Tells me the guy is too invested. Should just be thinking that it was good while it...

Calling your boss an embarrassment and demanding the company separate from his brand isn't a great tactic for remaining employed. As far as I can tell, they didn't explicitly say what they meant my "inclusiveness", so can't comment on that. Though I suspect this is again a shot at Musk.

I always win arguments with providers. Why? Because I let my actions speak rather than my words. If she's tardy with me, or giving lesser service, I stop seeing her. Full stop. This isn't a romantic relationship where you should be communicating your frustrations in the hopes of an amicable...

Okay, don't do that. Wallow in misery and the perpetual victim cycle instead. That's been working great so far 👍 That's like a person with mental illness blaming doctors and the world for their condition. Maybe it temporarily feels good to lash out and blame others, but their condition won't...

It always amazes me how many people think the people protesting for ideas they disagree with are evil idiots and those protesting ideas they agree with are brilliant heroes, and can't understand that it's a matter of perspective. As far as I'm concerned, any protest that deliberately and...

I've only seen one example of that recently, and I'm not sure it has anything to do with a looming recession. I highly doubt a recession even on the scale of the Great Recession would dampen agency rates, particularly since this recession is likely to be laced with stagflation. It almost...

Exactly. Nor should they be, is the point I'm making. I may have misread your previous post, so my apologies: Those are the same thing, so no. I need data on actual crime. For instance, if police arrested a high number of Black people relative to the population, how many of those arrests...

My bad, I was referencing car insurance. Though the same principle applies. If we completely ignored the fact that old people die at a higher rate than young people, we should be outraged at how much older people are charged! That's the same logic those outraged at the police report use.

I need data on how many Black men commit crimes to compare to the number of Black men police arrest. Isn't that obvious? Otherwise forming opinions and making decisions based on representation of outcome is stupid. Can you imagine if we hired doctors based solely on which group was...

Data is meaningless without the other half of the equation. Releasing enforcement stats by race without releasing crime stats by race is unfair to the police force, and will result in hesitancy that will spike crime. This type of move is not logical, but instead idealogical. It'd be different...

I went to uni straight out of high school, so yeah, my experience doesn't quite fit that. I was forced to put my parents on my OSAP application, and my parents make a tidy sum, which really crimped me. Doesn't make sense either, since my parents didn't help pay my way. I basically got $1500...

I don't necessarily disagree that university should be taxpayer-funded. However, a couple points: 1) It's not free. Someone is paying. So not only does it have to be worth it, but you'd have to be okay with that particular redistribution of wealth. 2) We have way more people going to...

If she truly was "making up for it" during lunch hour, it's not exactly time theft. But if that weren't the case, it absolutely is theft. If the company is paying you and you're skipping out early without permission, it's tantamount to stealing whatever wages they paid you for that unworked...

Regarding Myth #1: While I agree that wages are not the only driver of inflation in this case, to say it's having a dampening effect is some mental gymnastics. It'd be like filling a container with 1 cup of water and 3 cups oil, and saying the 4 cups isn't caused by water, and in fact water...
