I've survived layoffs at companies where we were told that following the cuts, we were going to get leaner and more agile and more efficient.

I'm sure you'll be just shocked to learn that what actually happened is I ended up doing twice as much work to pick up the laid off people's slack, and at the end of the year got a smaller bonus than the previous year, along with a raise that didn't cover inflation. Overall company profits, of course, hit a record high.

Say what you will about the entertainment merits of Real Housewives and Kardashian shows, at least the stars of those shows signed up to have their drama exploited for ratings. The producers of shows like Hoarders and Intervention are morally bankrupt. TLC is basically an entire network devoted to turning people's mental health and addiction crises into spectacle for cheap entertainment, and it's absolutely disgusting.

Yeah, but then all the dealers start singing happy birthday as they bring my crack out to me and it's really embarrassing.

Wasn't it just that Riker was already pissed off at her because she was famous for having gotten people killed and being court martialed over it?

Set your browser up with a good private DNS. I use Control D, which you can use to block a lot of annoying crap.

I'm actually not nearly as worried about PPA abusing this as I am about the company that administers the software.

Mainstream media definitely won't cover this.

Whoa, crazy to hear that.

Vaxxed?

It absolutely rules that RS had this locked and loaded.

Really sucks that this world historical monster died unpunished after living a long and happy life, though.

Nerds deserve their first amendment rights, too.

Ain't gonna happen. Best case scenario, we overspend on Chapman and end up regretting it. Most likely scenario, Urias is our opening day starter at third, we make no big splashes in either the trade market or free agency, and Stanton buys another yacht.
