Most places allow for default judgments if one party won't cooperate. I've met quite a few people who ended up going that route. Was he present at earlier hearings? That's the only reason I can think of that a judge might hesitate, but even then, plenty of people flake on court appearances.

Since she also famously had an affair with Corey Lewandowski, I don't know if her husband is the one she'd be asking.

I know people say it doesn't matter but I'm the same way with Stardew. I ended up downloading a cheat mod that lets you freeze time because I realized it's supposed to be a nice, relaxing game, and I wasn't feeling that way. I don't use the freeze much, but it lets me enjoy the game without stressing.

I kind of did the opposite but ended up in the same place - I loved the newer Fallouts so I thought I'd give 2 a shot and combat was just so bad that I couldn't get more than a couple of hours in. I tried it again a couple years later and same thing. I know a lot of people would riot, but I kind of wish they'd remake the exact same story/writing with modernized gameplay so I could experience it.

I tried to swipe some word earlier and it decided what really wanted to say was ConocoPhillips. Why the fuck is that even in the dictionary in my phone? When would I ever want to say that?

Exactly. I've always known my boss was great at most of her job but not very good at people management (because I don't think she particularly wants to do it), but being blindsided with things it's too late to even address was so demoralizing. What the heck am I supposed to do about a phone call from December about an issue that's been long since resolved?

I had basically this exact conversation with my supervisor last week. She was like, "I like to have ___ done by Thursdays," because I was sick on Thursday and said I'd do it first thing Friday morning. So I said, "Ok, so is the deadline for this task Thursdays then? Because that's never been communicated to me." And she said, "Well, I like to have it done by Thursdays." Holy fuck, JUST TELL ME HOW MANY PIECES OF FLAIR I NEED.

Anyway, I'm looking for a new job because I can't work in a place that wants to penalize people for not living up to expectations they didn't know existed. My entire review (first one in 2 1/2 years) was a series of "Remember this thing from months ago? Well we didn't like how you did that but we never said anything and just sat on it until now." Cool, thanks for setting me up to fail, appreciate that.

Leaving aside the fact that you seem to think historians will care about individual voters, this election is, unfortunately, about more than Israel. It's also about LGBTQ+ people, women, the environment, Ukraine, and not having a rapist thief who has admitted to ambitions of dictatorship in office. So if voting makes you complicit in every single thing a politician does, then sitting idly by and not caring if Trump wins would put a lot of blood on your hands, in the US and abroad, including in Gaza. Your smug superiority does nothing to protect those people and may harm a lot of others.

Well, if I were a betting woman, I'd say your name isn't going to be remembered at all, so you can probably safely stop using that as an excuse for apathy.

Ohhh, you could've just said you're a total moron in your first comment. Or a pretty pathetic troll, either way. Would've saved everyone a lot of effort.

I really don't, at least not because of any strong moral convictions. I believe he cared a lot about abortion as a means to an end, though.

[–] frickineh 20 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I don't actually think he cares at all, at least not personally. I think he sees it as an effective way to divide the American public and win political points depending on what he does and when, but I would be shocked if he had genuine moral opposition. Because that would require him to have genuine moral stances, and I think his only strong feelings in his entire life have been about getting and holding on to power.
