  • Among other things, I was in charge of on and offboarding and buying IT gear. HR basically told me if the employee won’t return the laptop we just have to suck it up. I may be misremembering, but legally speaking, we gave them the gear, no matter what paperwork they signed. And in no case would it pay to so much as begin legal action.

    And no, we don’t want the monitors. Just not worse the hassle and shipping.













  • LOL wut? It’s the perfect thing to say. They’re playing this for all the propaganda they can squeeze. Meanwhile, liberals be like, “But this is obvious bullshit!”

    They’ve created a perfect “us vs. them” litmus test. If I wore a “Charlie Kirk: Single shot through the engine block!” T-shirt in my little hick town, I would be challenged, escalating to threat. And it would end with someone getting shot.

    We’re playing fair while they cheat their ass off, in front of god and everyone. Calling out the hypocrisy is useless. We need propaganda of our own. Problem is, people like me, and presumably you, have a hard time lying for social or economic gain.


  • Acquaintance from high school married a preacher man, “met” him on FaceBook. Very intelligent and well educated man. His doctorate in divinity is real, he worked for it, absolute expert. His arguments were well crafted and we loved poking each other. Plus, we were both hot pepper fanatics and growers. :)

    Here’s the point: That’s the only Christian I’ve met in life that could actually debate Biblical views. I can turn most of them into a raging, spitting, cursing mess with a dozen questions, and they almost never engage for the whole dozen.

    Guess I should include my best friend. He was a conservative Southern Baptist, very angry when I announced I had turned to atheism, though he was fine with me as a deist. LOL, I corrupted that fucker. Now he’s an atheist, liberal, and supports gay rights. But again, he’s an exception. His best traits are that he’s intelligent, way more so than I, and best yet, he can admit he’s wrong and is willing to examine his beliefs. Exceptions proving rules and whatnot.
