All of these things are true:
This murder of Salgado is equally evil, and equally important, as the murders of Good and Pretti. His death deserves the same amount of outrage and community response.
My nervous system still feels fried from being constantly activated for several months at the beginning of the year.
I see the incongruence and it’s very disturbing to me.
Wow, that’s quite a statement. There’s definitely a higher-than-average group of meat heads and assholes (both the fighters and the fans) but they’re also athletes like any other. Many of them have trained their entire lives to compete. McGregor is the most visible, and unfortunately he’s an absolute piece of shit, but it’s ignorant to project that onto every martial artist.
My wife has big boobs. Sometimes she shows them off on purpose, but even when she doesn’t, they’re big and round and nice to look at. She says if people are going to look, at least be inconspicuous about it and not stare.
That said, I know other women who have felt cursed by their big boobs because everywhere they go, they’re ogled without their consent. Which is also fair. Just because some women are okay with it, doesn’t mean I’m entitled to check everyone out.
What an interesting way to quantify human life.
Doug Rushkoff’s Survival of the Richest paints a really fascinating picture of the tech billionaire mindset. Rushkoff has been writing about tech for like 50 years so he’s able to explain the evolution from creative tech anarchist to fascist sociopath. “They seem to think they can design a car fast enough to outrun its own exhaust.”
I’m a social worker. I had a tough time in grad school at the peak of the Me Too movement and Trump’s first term. My cohort was maybe 5% men. I sometimes felt like the target of the anger and resentment my classmates felt towards men in general. I worked hard to listen and not be defensive, but it was difficult.
I’ve experienced a little bit of that since graduating, but it was specific to a toxic workplace. These days I’m just so grateful to be surrounded by brilliant women. I learn so much and I never feel out of place.
Because they destroyed them?
Failed? My friend, God tested Abraham by ordering him to kill his own son.
The sycophants are definitely out there but I personally believe most of those comments are bots.
A Gothamist review of court records shows at least 84 separate limited liability companies linked to Pinnacle filed at least 2,569 nonpayment eviction lawsuits in the five years between April 2021 and April of this year, when Summit took control.
The monkey paw has granted your wish!
I’m with you! I’m self-employed so I’m not paying my quarterly estimated taxes. I’m still saving the money and splitting it between high-yield savings and index funds.
Didn’t they already do that like 10 years ago? In the US they didn’t do a recall per se but they offered to replace them for free.
I’m really sorry you had to go through that. There’s no amount of misbehaving that warrants a child being abused like that.
A majority? Do you have a source?
Sorry, it’s the same as you’re describing. The employer doesn’t decide which funds are available, the bank does. I’m thinking back to my last job and there were only about 10 funds to choose from, but I couldn’t tell you who was responsible for limiting the options. The bank might have offered a “retirement benefits package” to the employer to simplify things. Not sure.
I vote in every election and I believe everyone should, but I also understand that millions and millions of people on the left have yet to see a candidate that actually represents them.
Many employers offer to match the employee’s contribution to their retirement fund up to a certain amount, but the employer gets to pick which funds are available. Anyone can open their own IRA (retirement fund) but they won’t get that employer match.
The system sure moves fast as long as it’s not about the Epstein list.
