  • Is the Great Resignation 2.0 coming? Nearly 3 in 10 workers plan to quit this year

    Jump

  • I've become too old to be marketable in free agency so I'm stuck, but you better believe the day it's financially viable to do so, and not a minute later, my happy ass will walk out into retirement and never look back.

  • This sounds like a modern day version of the Schlitz mistake back in the seventies where they cut the quality so much, so fast, that the formerly largest brewery in America became a worthless brand that nobody trusted.

    The b-school lesson from this was to drop the quality of your product more slowly so people wouldn't notice.

    I figured no big company would ever suffer consequences from shitty product ever again because they'd figured out the drip instead of the open floodgates.

    I hope more companies get to enjoy this fate, especially food producers.

  • [Extra Fabulous] - coffee

    Jump

  • I just had two cups of coffee and a bloody Mary with a full stalk of celery. My municipal sewage system is going to fine me so hard.

  • Snoop rule

    Jump

  • I never can decide if Snoop Dogg is an evil genius who got away with it or if he's a great illustration that redemption can actually happen.

    If the latter, we are most certainly approaching criminal justice the wrong way.

    Before we talk about acquittals or dropped cases, I still feel pretty strongly that he was no angel when he was younger. Today he comes across as downright wholesome.

  • Texas lockups violate minors’ constitutional rights, says US justice department

    Jump

  • Like Greg Abbott or Ken Paxton are ever going to give two flying fucks about constitutional rights.

  • The punctuality of trains in Europe

    Jump

  • Dad, who has the most punctual trains?

    The Swiss! Watch!

  • This scam is approved and doesn't go against Google's policies

    Jump

  • Send the scam a hundred bucks, lose it, sue Google for fraudulent endorsement.

    (Yes yes, this wouldn't work in the real world against Google's legions of lawyers, but I like the thought exercise)

  • Starbucks is reeling as customers go elsewhere, sales decline

    Jump

  • It's not what other people think. It's what the Starbucks customer perceives what other people think.

    On the rare occasion that I buy retail coffee, it's usually from the Race Trac gas station which has machines that grind the coffee beans and brew it fresh by the cup - nothing to erect a historical statue over, but a solid coffee for a low price.

    When Starbucks loving coworkers see me walk in with my ghetto gas station coffee cup, they'll generally mock me for it.

    So I suppose you and I each have our own anecdotal data samples, and they apparently vary from each other quite a bit.

  • Fox host demands video of JD Vance having sex with a couch

    Jump

  • Too bad it wasn't a bed because then we could talk about how short the bed skirt was.

  • Gen X, millennials face higher risk of 17 cancers than older generations

    Jump

  • Gen X here. At this point in my life, seeking out healthcare might not bankrupt me as I've got a whole two deductibles in my health savings account, theoretically allowing me to get sick twice over the remaining twenty five years or so of my life.

    Even with that luxury in my back pocket, it's so hard wired in me that even driving past a doctor's office brings bankruptcy, that I don't even try.

    Wild card for me is that I engage quite a few doctors on personal finance matters and have learned that many of them are just as bad as their insurance and hospital executives are. They'll perform a less beneficial but more costly procedure because their God damned neighbor just got the newest Ferrari and they need to one up them. I have literally experienced Dr. X asking me if Dr. Y was doing better than him. It's disgusting behavior into which I've no desire to place my life and four generations of medical debt.

    I will happily die younger solely to leave a clean estate for my daughter in favor of giving it all to those shitheads for an extra couple months of excruciating pain extended life.

  • They were overall pretty good until the owners fucked them over. Not unlike the A's today.

  • Should've gone with Washington Senators and Cleveland Spiders. Commanders and Guardians are just never going to appeal to me.

  • What things would you standardize globally if you were the Supreme Leader? All violations punishable by death.

    Jump

  • They're being pedantic about how the original question was worded in a gotcha attempt. Not worthy of a response.

  • JD Vance Doubles Down on Attack on 'Childless Cat Ladies'.

    Jump

  • So I just went and revisited that whole thing. I remember it vaguely, but not any details.

    The gist was that Murphy was deciding whether to have the baby or abort it and the Republican vice president says she's terrible for having it because she's not married.

    Of course, I guess the intent was that she was supposed to marry whoever got her pregnant, but it presents as she should have aborted it. Interesting in today's forced birth environment.

  • The Obamas Endorse Harris: 'This Is Going to Be Historic'

    Jump

  • Somehow he'd still have a voice in prison. Kinda like all those interviews with Ted Bundy and Charles Manson et al.

    His biggest misery would be to be alive and completely silenced.

  • What things would you standardize globally if you were the Supreme Leader? All violations punishable by death.

    Jump

  • Tailgating. It's gonna kill you eventually so let's streamline the process.

    Also fuck you, especially when I'm in a god damned exit lane.

  • The Obamas Endorse Harris: 'This Is Going to Be Historic'

    Jump

  • Michelle: When they go low we go high.

    Kamala: Let the meme trolling begin!

    If we do end up descending into a Draconian hellhole of an autocratic dictatorship at least the election run-up is going to be exponentially more entertaining than it was going to be with Joe.

    I say that dictatorship part because don't think for a second that the GOP is gonna just roll over and die. Expect hard-line challenges to vote counts in every single swing state.

  • Missouri Supreme Court blocks release of man whose conviction was overturned after more than 30 years in prison

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if this is the same case I read about recently, but it was something along the lines of there being some other much more minor conviction and the AG is arguing that the thirty years spent on the wrongful conviction shouldn't count towards the time given for the other conviction.

    I'd suppose the real motivation is hiding from the enormous civil lawsuits that will be coming in.
