In Europe it's just sparkling "let them down in the Mediterranean and/or make sure they stay in their own neighborhoods."

This is correct but it's delusional to think saying this to them would work. They need to be deeply afraid to express their opinions. They're dug in and if this year taught us anything it's that they aren't convincible. The only realistic path forward is to make them fearful. Ridicule isn't enough. They need to be afraid if they voice their opinions. Afraid for their reputations, afraid for their careers, and afraid for their very lives. If they aren't afraid at that level then we'll only sink farther. Them not getting laid isn't nearly enough. They should live terrified that people will find out who they really are, and they must be afraid at the highest level.

EDIT: Reading this back I realize how this sounds, I'm NOT saying that anyone should take that kind of action, but when Sherman matched to the sea, that kind of fear was the goal and it briefly worked. Likewise after the civil rights movement. It's nothing more than the tolerance paradox.

These people would rather just bitch about leftists than face the reality that they haven't had a serious, competitive primary in almost two decades and have fully committed to elite control of the primary process. It's peak moderate head-in-sand burying: "we don't need to reform anything, we just need to vote harder and yell even more about anyone criticizing us." I voted for Harris and think it was dumb not to, but at this point anyone insisting that the main problem was people not voting hard enough is a fucking idiot and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Parasites. They're not just deplorable, they're fucking parasites killing their host. Many of my loved ones are in that camp but they're a part of an existential problem.

No that's actually correct in a legal context like this. I mean what they're trying to do is nonsense obviously, but an indorsement, as defined in UCC s. 3-204(a) for example, means "means a signature, other than that of a signer as maker, drawer, or acceptor, that alone or accompanied by other words is made on an instrument for the purpose of (i) negotiating the instrument, (ii) restricting payment of the instrument, or (iii) incurring indorser's liability on the instrument, but regardless of the intent of the signer, a signature and its accompanying words is an indorsement unless the accompanying words, terms of the instrument, place of the signature, or other circumstances unambiguously indicate that the signature was made for a purpose other than indorsement. For the purpose of determining whether a signature is made on an instrument, a paper affixed to the instrument is a part of the instrument."

That's what I don't get though, these people seem to be delusional in that they think that they're a hard worker and looooove in person, so therefore every hard worker loves in person and the chaff will quit. Then they act shocked when their high performers largely leave to pursue remote or hybrid options. It's such a glaring inability to see people different from them as having any value.

Apparently I stumbled into Facebook somehow.

 

Thanks for making this community, look forward to hanging out here with you all.

 

Sad to see reddit effectively die, but a big thank you to everyone who set this community up so that the party can keep rolling! (Budum, ting)

 

Well, it all ended so suddenly, mid scroll through the comments. After a dozen long years RIF, and for me reddit along with it, is finally dead. Thanks for all the entertainment RIF team, sincerely.
