Just the basic one or adaptive cruise control?

He wrote an otherwise funny episode of the IT crowd, but the B plot involved violence against a trans woman. When he was criticized for it, the universe presented him with a choice:

• reflect on one cheap joke, or
• make it his whole identity

I like to imagine she had the basin of water handy in that moment.

Then maybe you’re against aggression and OK with defense. Not all violence is bad.

Does he have any useful skills? Or interests he didn’t make enough time for when he was younger?

I recently thanked my dad for not going all crazy. He fixes up old cars and takes pictures of birds.

Then: it’s obviously not democratic, that’s why they call it a dictatorship

Now: well it’s just not democratic in a way you liberals would understand

FWIW I’m jerking my knee at this ritual and interviewed someone who’s starting on Monday. I’ve been on both ends of this and find the rituals exhausting. If I had extra time for frivolous emails, then we wouldn’t be hiring!

These are the same people who expected handwritten letters a generation ago.

I can understand not explaining why someone didn’t get the job. If it’s worded imperfectly, it could open the company up to a lawsuit. And the applicant can’t believe that the company would answer honestly anyways.

I’ve never sent a thank you email for an interview. It seems weird to me.

In Marxist philosophy, the dictatorship of the proletariat is a condition in which the proletariat, or the working class, holds control over state power. The dictatorship of the proletariat is the transitional phase from a capitalist to a communist economy, whereby the post-revolutionary state seizes the means of production, mandates the implementation of direct elections on behalf of and within the confines of the ruling proletarian state party, and institutes elected delegates into representative workers’ councils that nationalise ownership of the means of production from private to collective ownership.

We can just show up in ICE uniforms and take them to the free state.

Socialism isn’t just when the government does things. In between workers and the state needs to be a free and functioning democracy.

That’s what we call “inflation”.

That’s a scary read - if the assailant had cleaned up better and not stopped at an apartment complex, she could have gotten away with murder.

Brilliant rebuttal
