"If they removed porn from the internet, there'd only be one site left... and it would be called 'Bring Back the Porn!'" - Doctor Percival Cox

I can't imagine a more unpopular idea in all of politics.
I'm not sure if lawyers think their words are magic sometimes, or if they'd just really like them to be magic.
I live in a state that prohibits most non-competes from employers, and any effort to try to get employees to sign overly restrictive agreements can actually result in a fine and penalty. My company sent me a legal agreement saying that by signing the doc and continuing to be employed, I agree to waive my state's protections against non-competes. As if... that would hold up in any court, ever.
It's a blatantly illegal clause and I could have fought it at the time... but in the end I knew it was totally unenforceable at worst. I'll go after them for the penalty if they ever try to enforce it, or if I leave under bad circumstances. It was more valuable to me to have this document than it is for them to have it.
You calling me crazy? Just 'cause I got a hotel in my foot doesn't make me a boogalymoogalymoogaly!
Not a domain, but I did register a yahoo email address of [email protected] just to confuse people who asked for my email address.
It would be cool if we could ID which exploding star it came from.
Almost every teenage goes through a phase where they think that criticizing things makes you sound smart. I did it. I have a teenager going through it right now.
Some people never grow out of it.
Are you claiming that straight people are suffering from a lack of representation? Straight people are represented everywhere in every single aspect of every part of all popular culture in every part of the world, and you know that.
What you're describing is not a lack of representation, it's jealousy that someone else is getting attention that you aren't getting. It seems like less of a movement for equality, and more of a childish temper tantrum, you know?
But if you want to start a straight pride group, go for it. It'll definitely do 2 things: 1) Tell everyone around you that you're the kind of person who would start a straight pride group, and 2) Even if it's not your intention, it'll be a LGBT hate group in less than a week, because thats who's most interested in straight pride.
People need to be willing to suffer small conveniences to send a message to companies, but they aren't. And then they complain that the government should step in, while they constantly elect people who protect business interests and are anti-consumer in the name of "small government."
It's requires at least one or the other... a free market with consumers who drive the demand, or big government. With neither, you end up with constant corporate abuses.
This is actually a really good hospital. I imagine someone carlessly cut it for convenience, a stupid thing to do.
I think the protest is because then the hospital, instead of saying "Holy shit, I'm so sorry... this is terrible, what can we do to make up for it?"... they responded with "What hair?", "I think he probably cut it himself" and "No comment". That was compounding stupid mistakes.
Ah yes, ain't that fresh. Everybody wants to be down like that.
"Prosecutors said Philip Sean Grillo, who is running for the seat previously held by George Santos, had videotaped himself during the 2021 attack on the Capitol.
Interesting. I'm curious why he brought 20+ year old video equipment with him. It seems like the article would address that oddity. It's getting tough to find new old stock blank video tapes.
