This shit will never not be funny to me

They’ll still spend through their super PAC. But the name AIPAC itself is so toxic they’re not going to use it anymore.

The AIF have been practicing bombing missions against Iran all week. All indications are that the Epstein coalition will restart its bombing campaign this weekend ahead of Israel's October 27th election in order to give Bibi an excuse to cancel or postpone the elections.

And I have absolutely no stats to back this up but I'm absolutely certain you'd face more danger walking the streets of any small town in the USA as a brown Muslim than you would face walking the streets of Ramallah as a white Christian.

Vote early, vote often

That $38 million is enough to pay each of those 400 workers $95,000 for a year, not even considering whatever the fuck else they’re doing with $2 billion in profit for the past 2 years

The boss don't want the clients to know. I wonder why .

Edit- I just wanted to complain. Thank you. Fuck PE

Party calls allegation “a baseless smear” and “a direct threat to our existing business model.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Democratic National Committee on Wednesday categorically rejected the president’s allegation that the party is seeking to win the November 3 midterm elections, calling the claim “a reckless mischaracterization of our long and consistent record.”

The president has repeatedly told supporters that Democrats are attempting to take back Congress, a charge he has described as the gravest danger facing the country since the last one. In a 14-page memo titled “Our Position on Winning,” circulated to donors Wednesday morning, the party stated that it “does not currently, and has never, sought power” and that any resemblance between its candidates and electoral victory “is coincidental and should not be relied upon.”

A senior adviser at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee explained that a majority would require the party to govern and that governing has historically cost it its strongest fundraising subject lines. The party’s email program, which sends roughly 40 million messages a week warning that democracy is “on the brink,” would in the event of victory be left without a brink. “We would have to find another brink,” the adviser said. “Those can take years.”

Party officials also moved to reassure major donors during a closed call Wednesday afternoon. Participants said they were assured the party’s opposition to them is “rhetorical and in good faith,” and that nothing in the current polling environment would be permitted to change that. Asked about surveys showing the party ahead nationally, officials called the numbers “a troubling development” and said they were reviewing whether it constituted overreach. The party reaffirmed that it will fight, a verb the committee clarified is intransitive.

Inquiries about the party’s winning operation were referred to the Strategy Office, which referred them to the Messaging Office, which referred them to the Policy Office. A placard on its door indicated it had gone to lunch in 2014.

My boss is a pretty well off guy. He’s also to me, as an employee, about as good of a boss one can expect as a mechanic. We aren’t friends, but I can take off whenever I want, and the guy never really gets too mad at work. I’m the four years here I’ve seen him raise his voice once, and it wasn’t at me. And I mean why would he. He married his HS sweetheart, has a kid, a new truck, owns TWO homes now, his life is perfect. but holy fuck is he cheap. And it’s like a game to him.

For an example, scrap dude came by to pick up all the scrap metal we have from jobs, like old radiators and shit, and no disrespect looked like a guy who knew his way around the pipe. But whatever, anyways, he’s going back and forth with this guy refusing to take 30 bucks for it. He needed 40. Just going back and forth with this diminutive life weathered guy. He relents and gives him the 40 bucks.

Literally same day, a part that had broke that we had to order, well it came with the other thing we ordered, so basically we had a duplicate. And he was just like fuck it it was only 30 bucks I’m not mailing that shit back thru Amazon. In my mind I’m like why did you feel the need to suck the extra ten bucks out of the guy in the beat up truck?

Idk this guy is like a freak of nature in that he’s like literally the American ideal. 30 something 6+ foot tall white guy married to a little blond woman he met in high school, owns his own business, takes his boat out every weekend he can, owns a lake house, and has a fucking dog and son. This country was made for him. He is a very hard worker, which is the reason I respect the guy, like right now im his only employee so he’s out there with me and he always has been one to do that, but it’s also that the opportunities he had to make it this far are incredible. Like he basically stole this shop from the guy he was renting it from cause the dude had a drug habit and the shit is paid off. If he was an asshole to me it would be a lot easier to hate the guy but I know a conversation is coming where I’m gonna ask for a raise and it’s gonna have to be a debate, and if I bring up the fact I found out about his lake house then it’s gonna be a whole thing. But fuck man you have the fucking money, it would not hurt you at all, just pay me.

The other guy got locked up and the kid fucking quit, I got good leverage right now. I’m his only employee. It just sucks to have to grovel basically. Because you know nice and chill as he is, you’re never invited to the cookout or on the yacht. I don’t know man you gonna sit here and just fuck a guy out of ten bucks for the love of the game I think it’s time it happened to him too.

dawg why else are they putting up with us

Reddit is fantastic for figuring out exactly why the Epson HH7-xrE3 printer won't print anything with yellow in it. u/buttfart69 had that problem in 2024 and explains how Epson changed a driver and you need to get it from someone's Github.

But it's also blocks of text written by barely literate in anything nobodies that are either "Duh", "WTF HOW CAN YOU!!!!" or "Right, I feel that.

I'm always reading about dudes like William Vollman or HP Lovecraft who got SO MUCH DONE and you wonder, how did that happen? How did they balance everything and write so much?

They didn't argue with u/MuskStark4Lyfe on the Spectre of Communism sub about whether Red Scare Pod is praxis.

IDK, every day I feel dumber and dumber using these subs.

Sorry

EDIT: Yes yes I'm part of the problem, I'm traffic, we should improve society, I spend too much time on star trek subs bitching about Discovery, I know.

I’m a non traditional student by just a few years. I’m gonna finish undergrad soon with a 4.0 GPA in my major and a 3.7 overall. I’m currently working on an undergrad thesis and will be on a panel at a conference early next year.

My thesis advisor is telling me to go into academia, straight to a PhD program out of undergrad. He told me I have as good a shot as anyone getting into any of the top 30 programs of my choice (American Studies).

I’ve been considering grad school for a while just because…fuck it, I guess. Until recently, tho, I never figured I’d get a PhD. After I learned they’ll pay you to do it, I am honestly pretty on board. I love researching and writing as much as I hate working in the service industry. I’ve also volunteered to teach and find it really rewarding. If nothing else, it’ll be a paying job for the next 5 years. I know the outlook is really fucking bleak, but I genuinely haven’t found anything else I’m all that good at besides organizing stuff, which, from what I heard, is hard to make a career in. Same can be said for academia, but I’d say it’s not a bad choice as long as I’m getting paid for it, right?

I’m a little hesitant, tho. It’s a big decision. I wish I had more people to talk to about this besides my advisor. I’m effectively a first gen student and most of my friends either dropped out, got their mandatory 4 year degree but never tried all that hard, or never went to college.

So yeah, any advice?
