I found a real easy approach to any undesired solicitation - zero contact, no reaction. Works on telemarketers, panhandlers, salespeople etc.

I have no shame about ghosting you publicly when the only thing you’re after is my money. If I’m in the home generator store, sure thing bro talk to me about my home power needs. If I’m walking out the supermarket and you slide around a booth to “help me keep my home safe during unrest” nah fam you can fuck yourself.

Cold open sales is parallel to pick-up “artists” imo. You want the transactional outcome for yourself, and my consent is the only thing you’re concerned about taking care of.

This copypasta is a cute summary, but it literally means nothing when over 40% of voters are dead locked for Biden and Trump each. The mission isn’t convincing the progressive wing that he’s got left bonafides, the mission is slice off as many undeclared and moderates - who just now really started paying attention… and saw that performance.

Trump looked like an asshole who dodged questions and was hiding the truth, but he had energy and was lucid

FYI: A disorderly conduct charge is just “contempt of cop”, unless it makes sense in parallel with the other charges like DUI or public nudity.

Multiple cops have openly admitted in person to me that they use it for compliance where force isn’t justified. “Move along or you’re about to become disorderly”.

It's right that I should now stand aside as leader. What I said during the referendum campaign is I want my country back. What I'm saying today is I want my life back… I have never been, and I have never wanted to be, a career politician.

Nigel Farage, MEP 1999 - 2020, Reform President 2021 - present, after resigning as UKIP leader

He got exactly what he supposedly wanted with the Brexit referendum, and then fucked off to do TV and radio interviews. He’s not a serious leader, just a shit slinger who refuses to take the mantle and be left making hard decisions.

Never mind that he’s bankrolled by Arron Banks, who seems to keep having meetings with Russian oligarchs and ambassadors for ‘business deals’, or that his trophy wife may be a spy.

Whole new meaning to toggling now I guess?

“HAL, eco-buy and camp long B”

What about getting fucked behind a Jimmy John’s? Asking for a friend 👀

I’ll link it again, because you missed it the first time. It’s wrongly attributed to Voltaire. Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky just made that shit up to spin a conspiracy.

I had a former workplace like that, it was beautiful 🥹

We had a hot seat meeting where each department representative wasn’t even in the room until their individual staggered start time kicked in. One out, one in, cycling through each department until the meeting was over. They get to go back to their work and not be ‘meat’ in the room for fifteen minutes or more, we got focused reports from each as they filed in and out.

Sometimes I miss working for Germans, but “alles in Ordnung” cuts both ways - good luck breaking through the bureaucracy reporting chain and getting quick results

If I wound up quoting hate speech from a convicted white supremacist, I’d backpedal SO HARD immediately. I’ve dropped multiple symbols and sayings that got co-opted by bigots, I’d advise you to not echo a super harmful anti-Semitic trope, regardless if it’s attributed or not.

Right now is a perfect time to delete that comment.

Meetings are rarely productive for anyone, neurotypical or not, once it gets bigger than like five people and/or hierarchy enters the room imo. Then it morphs into politics and showmanship.

Best meeting I’ve ever had was with two engineers. We were all on time, had prepared well, and lasted seven minutes because there were zero pleasantries, got right into breaking down the subject, and the answer was frank and forthright.

Sales team? Forget about keeping to schedule

To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?

Kevin Strom, 1993

It’s best not to (mis)quote Neo Nazis in general, especially so when you’re discussing Jews.

It’s not helpful discourse, provides cover for and platforms conspiracies, and gives the Zionists free ammo to point at any criticism as ‘antisemitism’ when these phrases are parroted. “Jews rule the world” is about as tired as it comes, and doesn’t do anything to help Palestinians

 

A US intelligence assessment of Israel’s claims that UN aid agency staff members participated in the Hamas attack on 7 October said some of the accusations were credible but that the claims of wider links to militant groups could not be independently verified… According to the Wall Street Journal, the intelligence report, released last week, declared it had “low confidence” in the basic claim that a handful of staff had participated in the attack, indicating that it considered the accusations to be credible though it could not independently confirm their veracity.

It cast doubt, however, on accusations that the UN agency was collaborating with Hamas in a wider way. The Journal said the report mentioned that although the UNRWA does coordinate with Hamas in order to deliver aid and operate in the region, there was a lack of evidence to suggest it partnered with the group.

It added that Israel has not “shared the raw intelligence behind its assessments with the US”.

Confidence in Assessments, pp 5, per the US’s own National Intelligence Council:

  • Low confidence generally means questionable or implausible information was used, the information is too fragmented or poorly corroborated to make solid analytic inferences, or significant concerns or problems with sources existed.
