I'm sorry, but I can't fathom how any of Boeing's years of falsified sign-offs have anything at all to do with the current Secretary of Transportation. Unless you're unhappy with the FAA investigation? Which would be pretty weird.

Really? I think he's doing a phenomenal job.

They're clearly trying to win if they got so scared about polls they strong-armed Biden into resigning. The panic has pretty clearly set in. We'll see if this works or not.

I was also surprised by that, but I'm still surprised people have them in their living rooms. I guess it's like upgrading from a baby monitor??

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've been working in public school libraries for almost 10 years now and get paid basically nothing, and since I'm not a teacher, my retirement accrues so slowly that it's basically nonexistent. I'll probably have to work until I die. I should've switched careers a long time ago. One more year and I'm out. I decided to wait until my daughter graduates high school, and then I'll make big life changes.

Just for some perspective, some companies give stock options to employees in lieu of better pay, so the guy you were frustrated with might also be broke.

I hope things look up for you! For all of us!

That was unnecessarily mean. Are you mad at him because he has stock in the company?

You're so fucking stupid. Maybe you should read any of those books you claim are being pulled as "pornography."

38H (UK sizing) here.

I still don't go braless even in winter because they hang low, and that embarrasses me. Existing at all embarrasses me, so take that with a grain of salt.

I'd you enjoyed Breath of the Wild, you'll probably love Tears of the Kingdom. Some people felt it wasn't different enough from Breath of the Wild, but there's so much more to explore. And there was a part in the story that was so emotional, it made me ugly cry.

You forgot the implication that black women couldn't possibly be skilled or smart enough to be hired. Because they're black. That's the racist part. It's devaluation stemming from racism.

You're not wrong, but he's the incumbent. They were never going to switch him out. He beat Trump last time, and there's no way the DNC was ever going to float someone different. Hillary was not the incumbent.

But man it would be awesome to have "Yes we can" slogan energy back again. The speeches on the runup to Obama's first presidential election were so morale-boosting. I ended up canvassing for him when I lived in northwest Indiana with my baby in a stroller and my toddler walking around with us. It was awesome.

Now I mostly just vote and get really upset a lot.
