Except, like I said, there are Minis and Fiats. And, of course, all the small cars in practically every other country on the planet. If Fiat can sell the 500 in the U.S., any U.S. company could sell a similar small car.

Remember, though, debates are not conclusively won or lost. It's all opinion-based. Lots of people like you said Biden did a terrible job. But do you know what I haven't seen any reports of? A response from "regular viewers" who say they will change their votes.

I don't know if this was true in all markets, but in the Indiana market when we were kids, TNG would play a sort of mini-version of the theme when it went to break and now when a show or movie fades out or it's an old show and goes to break, I annoy my wife by singing it.

The Simpsons as well.

There are also shows that based jokes around the fact that they were going to or just came back from a commercial break and now you don't have those in those shows. And now, I guess, they'll go back to editing shows for ads.

What a weird modern landscape we've made for ourselves.

and I’m going to intentionally avoid the named brand on the likelihood that they tried to guerilla market and have people spread their ad for them which is what I see.

I think that's a bad idea just because if this is not guerilla marketing, it might actually be the best choice. The thing to do is research the brand.

Sniper-Man, Sniper-Man,

Does whatever a Sniper can

Shoots BBs any size,

When converter thieves arrive.

Look out, here comes the Sniper-Man

Is he strong?

Listen, bud-

He's got regular human blood.

He can shoot at your head.

You can run, you won't be dead.

Hey there, there goes the Sniper-Man

It can potentially take out an eye too. You won't "shoot your eye out" like the kid is warned in a Christmas Story, but you could definitely shoot someone else's eye out.

It could be a police honeypot, but if it was a small town or something, they may just pay the cops off.

Okay, but what I'm reading is that Biden sounded like a lost old man and Trump sounded like a crazy old man, which is what everyone already knew about both of them, so I'm not sure why anyone would change their minds.

A significant part of the population doesn't think it's appropriate for a picture book about two male penguins that adopt a chick to be in a public school.

In fact, a significant part of the population doesn't think white kids and black kids should go to the same school. And have found ways to do things about it.

Why should we cater to these significant parts of the population?

Yeah, but the New Testament says everyone who doesn't worship Jesus is going to burn in hell forever, so that kind of lessens the whole Jewishness of the first half.

At the risk of once again being told what an idiot I am, healthcare in America sucks. Thanks for the present though, mom. We need all the help we can get.

By the way, feel free to tell me how great my Photoshop skills are. Some people on Lemmy love to tell me how I’m not sick and just making it up for sympathy.

Sorry… is there a community for “I’ve been pissed off for months now?”

Resume Builder, which offers résumé templates, surveyed nearly 650 hiring managers in May and found nearly seven in 10 said it was "morally acceptable" to post fake jobs. Hiring managers credited the move with increasing revenue, morale, and how much workers get done.

Here's the weird part though-

About seven in 10 of the fake jobs were on a company website or LinkedIn, according to the survey. And, yet, despite all the shenanigans, many fake listings often lead to real interviews — and even employment.

Four in 10 hiring managers said they always contacted workers who applied for made-up jobs. Forty-five percent said they sometimes contacted those job seekers. Among companies that contacted applicants, 85% report interviewing the person.

"A lot of them are getting contacted and interviewed at some point, so it's not necessarily a black box," Haller said.

Does that part make sense to anyone?

Who is there to teach you about Jesus? Why, it's the Riverdale gang!

But not just Archie and Jughead, oh no. A much bigger fish!

Enjoy!
