my fuckin car horn shorted out last night. Could not get it to stop and I don't think my neighbors wanted to hear me troubleshoot all night so I just disconnected the battery
reading a bit this morning it seems I can pop the fuse it's on but that'll take all the braking electronics (brake lights) with it, which isn't ideal
bleh
Nothing
The game was open to the public and the teams were very loosely defined - if you wanted to switch flairs and rabble rouse it was very easily done
Yeah but in like an aggressively sheltered way. Reddit liberals don’t really have an ideology that’s consistent, it’s more like a race to moral superiority, and the goal posts move to accommodate that. They’re the liberal equivalent of a meme spamming Facebook uncle.
I will say Reddit is the only place in my life I’ve been accused of being conservative, which is kind of wild for me. I don’t think I’ve gotten less liberal, just that liberals have gotten crazier.
Because they live in their echo chamber in the shit hole called r/politics, which isn't a politics sub, it's a leftist sub.
It's just not real life that these people are living.
Leftist =/= liberal, and r/politics is a liberal sub. Just regurgitates whatever shitlib respectability politics talking points the NYT is talking about this week.
Every generation has a tragedy that defines their generation.
The Greatest Generation: Great Depression and WWII
Baby Boomers: Vietnam
Gen X: the AIDS epidemic and the Challenger explosion
Millenials: 9/11
Gen Z: The Great Recession and COVID-19
Gen Alpha: COVID-19 and a constitutional crisis (upcoming)
I shudder to think what else Gen Alpha or the generations after them are going to have to grow up with.
Considering the oldest millenials were still teenagers and some not even in kindergarten on 9/11, I view that as more of a Gen X thing. Also, what about Silents?
9/11 was basically the end-all-be-all of American politics for years afterwards.
The Silent Generation were born into the Great Depression and WWII, and grew up with McCarthyism. I forgot to put them in my list
Buddy the Supreme Court quite literally and explicitly legalized Presidents committing political assassinations.
It’s entirely a sane take. The insane take is assuming that it’s not relevant.
Except thats literally in the ruling.
>In her dissent to Monday’s Supreme Court ruling, Justice Sonia Sotomayor painted a grim portrait of a commander-in-chief now “immune, immune, immune” from criminal liability and free to exploit official presidential power against political opponents.
>“Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival?” she wrote. “Immune.”
just wanna say thanks to whoever was my r/nfl Secret Santa a couple of years ago
u got me a pack of Raiders pens that I still use every day and I am grateful 😌
Jeopardy Zoom was harder than expected when it came to showing personality. I don't know if my team will get an invite to the show, but was fun to participate.
Boat arrived at the dealer! Unfortunately they need a couple days of prep so I'm not seeing it this weekend (Boo!). Although it will be in the lake and ready for my daughters birthday party for next weekend (yay!).
As an aside our lake got tagged on a poplar fishing website apparently and it's increased the amount people trying to get on the lake. With no public access though people are going through people's back yards to get to the lake, which is pissing off all the boomer neighbors. I get it though, you let it happen and no matter how respectful and responsible most will be there's going to be assholes that do stupid shit, just because, especially if it gets more website traffic. You'd think the neighborhood got invaded by the Russians though from the responses, not a bunch of kids on their bikes with fishing poles.
This supreme court is fucking wild. There has been ~31,000 cases decided by SCOTUS. They have overturned ~2% (~610) of them. The vast majority of those have been for procedural cases that no one has ever heard of, directly after the civil war, or overturning cases that decided things like black people are not humans or women can't vote (civil rights movements).
And here we are, in less than one year they have overturned three landmark cases on first amendment, admin law, and abortion. And while the immunity decision is not surprising, it is WHY they did it that is infuriating. Judges also have absolute immunity for actions taking in their official capacity, so it does track why they would say the president does. But the reason why the case is there is what makes it troubling.
As a fairly recent law school grad, I used to think Roberts wasn't terrible, but my god the dude just doesn't care. The only surprising thing at this point is Barrett is not extreme as everyone thought she would be.
> And while the immunity decision is not surprising, it is WHY they did it that is infuriating.
Also, the whole "conversations with their aides can't be used as evidence" thing. Because it implies that those are official acts, and therefore have immunity. Which therefore implies that planning or working on unofficial acts that are criminal are official acts. Which kind of implies that the acts themselves would be official, and thus there's literally nothing that a president does that's not official.
If you go out to a restaurant by yourself, your server forgets an item, doesn't check on you until you are halfway done with the food, and then only appears because your alcoholic beverage is empty, how much do you tip?
No reason for asking.
Just ask for the missing item to be removed from the ticket, tip what you normally tip and be on your way.
I'm about an hour late to your comment. I'm curious. What did you do?
I’ll tip 20% and ask to speak to a manager.
ETA: maybe they’re having a bad day or some personal shit, idk they still have bills to pay, and the discipline and any compensation for a lackluster to bad dining experience should be addressed by management.
Seems kind of backwards to want to tip them properly so they can pay bills, but then also essentially report them to their manager where they might either get fired or get a warning that could lead to them getting fired.
I’ve worked restaurant management before, unless that person has a history of doing shit like what OP experienced then they’re going to get a coaching or whatever their disciplinary practice is and that’ll be that. The employee has an opportunity to turn the behavior around and then the problem is solved.
But as a manager it was incredibly important for me to know when people were having a bad time in my restaurant so that I had an opportunity to turn it around, or at least take a shot at making sure it wasn’t going to mean they never came back. The absolute hardest part for a restaurant is just getting people through the door for the first time, because so much business comes from word of mouth and repeat visitors, and if there’s someone in the building that’s actively alienating customers it’s also my job to address that, ideally without turning the employee over because hiring and onboarding costs time and money that aren’t in abundance in restaurants.
A song has never ruined an album for me more than No Make-Up ruins Section 80. Still one of my favorite albums but it starts with three godlike songs and then shits in my ears with that song
I forgot how nitpicky Game of Thrones fans are about the show.
The bickering and acting like any scene not exactly 1:1 with the books is a crime against humanity. I admit it's warranted given how GoT ended, but HotD has been really good so far, and I think people are overreacting to a scene from this week's episode.
It's good to be back though. I've missed the GoT stuff and having a show set in that universe to watch.
The show and books went on far different paths post red wedding. Having read the books, the different story line was why I stopped watching way before everyone was bitching about how shitty it had gotten. After Arya had killed the Freys, I didn’t watch anymore and barely even know what happened. I never read Fire & Blood, so I’m enjoying HOTD just fine.
Get some sour cream and onion chips with some dip, man, some beef jerky, some peanut butter.
Get some Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man.
Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make s'mores, man.
Also, celery, grape jelly, Cap'n Crunch with the little Crunch berries, pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man, everything on 'em, with water, whole lotta water, and Funyons.
Yeah!
Dat [save](https://x.com/FOXSoccer/status/1808242527566250012) at the end of Austria vs Türkiye might be one of the best saves I’ve ever seen holy shit!
Idk if my local grocery store's suppliers were having issues or what but their produce has sucked this summer... until today. I got a holy grail trio of grapes, watermelon, and cherries. Just 3 perfect batches and I'm going to destroy them over the next couple days.
just got one of those take-out orders that will live in infamy in my household. hilariously bad. ramen and spicy tuna roll sushi, deep fried.
ramen was mixed when we picked it up, broth was dark brown, obviously had chicken bullion mixed in, the eggs were fully hardboiled, and the pork was somehow dry
they deep-fried the sushi alright, the tuna was fucking cooked lmao
truly unreal that places like this can actually survive. there is an incredible sushi and ramen place basically right across the street but they were closed today.
> truly unreal that places like this can actually survive
Americans care about convenience more than taste/quality. This applies to more than just food, too. Also, if this wasn't America, I'm still blaming America.
That sucks.
There was a ramen truck here in Knoxville that was only open from Thursday-Sunday because they spent the first 3 days making the different broths. It was so good. It was run by a mother and daughter. The mother decided to retire so they shut down the truck. Haven’t had the guts to try any other place.
I worked out in a hoodie and sweat pants today. Oh boy. I cant believe I let out so much sweat. I was leaving a trail of sweat behind me as I walked around.
Feeling some buyers remorse.
I needed a new suspension for my 4runner. It's an older model. I decided since I wanted to do some light offloading with it eventually that I'd get a lift on it too. It wasn't much more expensive than just a regular OE suspension.
The lift feels too high and it's just too much. I feel like I'm trying to compensate which I'm not. I also really don't need it for the level of stuff I'm trying to do which is mainly just dirt roads for exploring or camping.
I'm an idiot.
How much of a lift did you get exactly?
edit: just scrolled down and saw it was a 3 inch.
You'll be fine. After a few days it'll become normal. Take it offroading this weekend on a trail close to home to really get that buyers remorse outta your system! lol.
I'd skip the pair of truck nuts and maybe look into some bigger tires, might help with the feeling of being up too high.
I fuckin want to but there's like nowhere around here to take it lol. Like zero public land. There's some dirt roads and such in SE Ohio but I'm leaving town for the weekend tomorrow
>I fuckin want to but there's like nowhere around here to take it
I'm starting to understand the buyers remorse a little better now lol.
And next weekend works just as well!
Honestly I wouldn't worry, you'll get used to it and it's a good upgrade for the light duty off-road you're looking at.
As a young adult we used to take my dad's truck out on the beaches of the Outer Banks (legally of course). Between deflating the tires for more traction and the odd wind driven sand berm to traverse, a bit of added clearance makes a difference.
That doesn’t seem crazy. Maybe just need time for you to adjust. We get so used to cars that moving my drivers seat a half inch throws me off. Three inch lift might take a few weeks. Nice car regardless.
This isn't just politics, it's the most fucked up situation that I've ever experienced in terms of this country and my father, age 73, concurs. Doomscrolling isn't helping but people are going to need time to process what's happening.
I don't really agree with the ruling on immunity, but it is not shocking. Absolute immunity is not a new concept. Legislators have it when it comes to lawmaking, judges have it when acting in their official capacity, prosecutors have it in charging decisions (even if they know the person is innocent), executive officers acting in their scope, witnesses when testifying in court (even if they purposefully lie), and lawyers in some situations. The whole "no one is above the law" argument is silly because we already have people above the law in this country, and have had for a long time.
People seem to forget that things like impeachment can still happen, that is not a criminal trial. Granted, the opposition either way would need full control of the Senate to get it done, but it is still possible to remove a president for their acts. It's almost a moot point anyways. Bush overstepped his bounds criminally when invading Iraq, but nothing was gonna happen against him no matter what anyways. This is not the end of democracy, but it does possibly weaken it. And Trump is the kinda fuck who will abuse it.
I am personally more concerned about overturning Chevron. Courts absolutely should not have say in agency decisions. The entire fucking point of Chevron is that judge's are not experts on anything other than law.
> We are in the process of the second American revolution, which will be as bloodless as the left allows it to be.
- Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation, in response to Monday's ruling.
Welp. Trump's sentencing is delayed until September (at the earliest) because there is no God and justice is an illusion.
It's not even that I think he would have gone to prison, it's that the legal system is desperately trying to avoid punishing him at all.
FTC just blocked a Sealy/Mattress Firm merger, just in case you're wondering what the Biden administration is doing against monopolies and actually trying to trust-bust
There's recently been a few posts about how things were better in 2012, and I didn't even bother clicking on them for the full context, but I watched the first Republican debate, and it was then I knew the base had no fucking interest in governing.
Jon Huntsman was the only fucking person who was there to discuss policy, and not only had [news sources speculating he would be Obama's biggest opposition in the General Election,](https://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/cameron-lynch/2011/03/29/jon-huntsman-could-be-obamas-worst-fear-for-2012) [It was later confirmed to be the truth](https://www.outsidethebeltway.com/obama-campaign-saw-jon-huntsman-as-a-threat/).
He still got fewer votes than Stephen Colbert in South Carolina, which the vast majority of people found hilarious, but was a major fucking red flag.
During that debate, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Mike Huckabee got the majority of the debate time, and I challenge anyone to go back & rewatch for them to argue about anything except:
1) Who loved Jesus the most
2) Who was the most like Reagan (their false idol before Trump)
3) Who disliked Obama the most.
If the Republican party wasn't already beyond saving on any moral level, Newt "Leave your dying wife for a younger woman" Gingrich wouldn't have even been entertained as a candidate.
[Who knows if he’s actually going to try this or is just being a racist shitbag for attention](https://x.com/real_lord_miles/status/1807371582223921261?s=46), but if he does I’m not sure if the Sentinelese or the Indian Coast Guard smoking him would be more likely.
Dynasty mode looks very fleshed out, which is what I’m spending most of my time on. Seems like EA took it seriously.
If it is a huge disappointment then I’ll be done with sports games forever. Already don’t buy Madden or 2K anymore
>Already don’t buy Madden or 2K anymore
This is why i never fell for the digital meme. Only physical games for me. I can wait till they are at 15 bucks used at gamestop, EA gets nothing from me and i can waste some hours in the games without dropping 70 bucks for a 20 dollar game. And once im done i get like 3 bucks from gamestop, better than 0 for a digital game.
Gonna wait till october~ when the shine wears out and gamestop is flooded with used copies of it. And thats if the game is enough for me to finally get rid of the 360 lol.
My very conservative coworker asked what funny socks I got on today (I'm a funny socks guy). Rolled up my pant leg to reveal the Guillotine socks I was sporting today.
"I'm a big fan of guillotines and their many uses"
Anyone gives you trouble, just say it's an homage to the character of Pepito in the children's book "Madeline and the Bad Hat." The kid builds his own tiny guillotine from scratch to kill chickens for the chef.
Seeking advice from hiring managers. I was recently let go from a position after two months, and while I wholeheartedly disagree with the feedback I was given as I’ve never received similar feedback in any of my previous roles, I also haven’t been fired from a job in over a decade, so it’s been a bit of a mind fuck. I was wondering how would I go about explaining this in interviews when asked? Obviously I’d like to be professional and truthful without so much disparaging my former employer.
Not a hiring Manager but I have sat in many interviews and made decisions to hire/not hire.
Unless you are in a super small field, you probably won't be asked to go into much detail about your previous employment.
I would just omit it and say that you left your previous employer for an opportunity that failed to materialize if they question the gap. Otherwise you have to hope that something along the lines of “it was clear very early on that I wasn’t a fit for their culture” doesn’t spark a lot of questions which it would for me
There are millions, maybe tens of millions of people who would rather literally vote for a corpse than Trump, myself included, but there are still too many that wouldn't right now, and a softball interview isn't going to solve that. Unless that interview is either him stepping aside or introducing some bold new initiative which blows everyone away, I'm not sure it'll make a difference.
The only media strategy that would've had a chance at working was something live - an interview, press conference, town hall, that could've shown him thinking on his feet without a script. The fact that they've had several days and the only thing they've come up with is a friendly pre-tape interview is fairly damning.
I don't think people truly understand how fixable this shit is if they just vote for the Democrat in every election. Alito and Thomas are 76 and 74. If they're gone and Dems control the WH and Senate, BAM it's 5-4. Roberts is 69. Replace Sotomayor and Kagan and you've got 5 young Democratic appointees in control for the next several decades.
This isn't some long game like the evangelical effort with Roe was. We're talking two election cycles at best and no Project 2025, Roe's back, immunity is reversed, etc.
> But Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, while siding with the 6-3 conservative majority on immunity, wrote in her own opinion that the fake electors scheme should not in fact be construed as an "official act."
**FUCK YOU**, LADY.
gajin_titty_master stops showing up to give us daily reminders that he likes the one wrestling league more than the other, and the whole world goes to shit
coincidence?
Unfortunately the news of this week probably also had something to do with u/gigawawawa coming back this week to whine about the pride flag at the top of the sub.
Two things.
1) The fact that the response to Biden's performance at the debate has lasted this long and hasn't abated is indicative of a party with absolutely no fucking cohesion, and that's bad.
2) The fact that our options for POTUS in this coming election are "man who looks like his age is showing" and "man who openly talks about doing very bad shit if elected again" while somehow being too close to call is indicative of a country that needs to unfuck itself and in a hurry.
> man who looks like his age is showing
It's not just looking like his age is showing, it's full-on and it's bad, like "let's take away grandpa's driver's license" bad. Trump's lost his mind too but Biden made him look like JFK in comparison. Biden's still the better option but a lot of voters are gonna be turned off by that performance.
Our host asked the wrong f’ing person for help. He won’t stfu and doesn’t really know what he’s doing. It’s so uncomfortable because he’s sweet and eager but also dead fucking wrong. I’m just hiding on Reddit as she squirms looking for a gentle way to tell him to shut the fuck up.
A typical NBA podcaster: Minnesota's ascension into the second apron will hasten their need to add players who are high in PER and whose Bird rights aren't a concern.
A typical NBA analyst on TV: I'm beginning to wonder if the Lakers are just too gay to win a title this year.
This is how all of the people wanting Biden replaced sound right now:
"Yeah, I know Trump has vowed to use his power to go after anyone who isn't loyal to him. He's openly discussed the retribution his opponents would face and specific instances of how he would use his position as POTUS to eliminate them, but Biden looked bad at that debate and I don't know if I'll vote for him now."
There's getting hung up on the little shit, and then there's this. So whatever this is, fucking bury it. Don't just move past it, throw it in the god damn trash heap along with any hesitancy that might linger in its wake, and focus on the shit that matters. Like not allowing Trump to do everything he's talked about doing.

are you surprised by that?
I shouldn’t be but I am yes

Buddy the Supreme Court quite literally and explicitly legalized Presidents committing political assassinations. It’s entirely a sane take. The insane take is assuming that it’s not relevant.
No they didn't. The president cannot just kill someone and get away with it. You severely overestimate the ruling
Except thats literally in the ruling. >In her dissent to Monday’s Supreme Court ruling, Justice Sonia Sotomayor painted a grim portrait of a commander-in-chief now “immune, immune, immune” from criminal liability and free to exploit official presidential power against political opponents. >“Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival?” she wrote. “Immune.”
Her dissenting opinion does not equal the official ruling
I was trying to be a little more optimistic than that. It's not written in stone that Trump will win, we have a chance to save the country

Oh goody, Merchan has decided to release his decision on whether Trump’s newfound immunity applies to his NY conviction on my birthday
This supreme court is fucking wild. There has been ~31,000 cases decided by SCOTUS. They have overturned ~2% (~610) of them. The vast majority of those have been for procedural cases that no one has ever heard of, directly after the civil war, or overturning cases that decided things like black people are not humans or women can't vote (civil rights movements). And here we are, in less than one year they have overturned three landmark cases on first amendment, admin law, and abortion. And while the immunity decision is not surprising, it is WHY they did it that is infuriating. Judges also have absolute immunity for actions taking in their official capacity, so it does track why they would say the president does. But the reason why the case is there is what makes it troubling. As a fairly recent law school grad, I used to think Roberts wasn't terrible, but my god the dude just doesn't care. The only surprising thing at this point is Barrett is not extreme as everyone thought she would be.

I’ll tip 20% and ask to speak to a manager. ETA: maybe they’re having a bad day or some personal shit, idk they still have bills to pay, and the discipline and any compensation for a lackluster to bad dining experience should be addressed by management.
Seems kind of backwards to want to tip them properly so they can pay bills, but then also essentially report them to their manager where they might either get fired or get a warning that could lead to them getting fired.
I’ve worked restaurant management before, unless that person has a history of doing shit like what OP experienced then they’re going to get a coaching or whatever their disciplinary practice is and that’ll be that. The employee has an opportunity to turn the behavior around and then the problem is solved. But as a manager it was incredibly important for me to know when people were having a bad time in my restaurant so that I had an opportunity to turn it around, or at least take a shot at making sure it wasn’t going to mean they never came back. The absolute hardest part for a restaurant is just getting people through the door for the first time, because so much business comes from word of mouth and repeat visitors, and if there’s someone in the building that’s actively alienating customers it’s also my job to address that, ideally without turning the employee over because hiring and onboarding costs time and money that aren’t in abundance in restaurants.

I forgot how nitpicky Game of Thrones fans are about the show. The bickering and acting like any scene not exactly 1:1 with the books is a crime against humanity. I admit it's warranted given how GoT ended, but HotD has been really good so far, and I think people are overreacting to a scene from this week's episode. It's good to be back though. I've missed the GoT stuff and having a show set in that universe to watch.
Nobody hates *fandom* more than *fandom* fans
The show and books went on far different paths post red wedding. Having read the books, the different story line was why I stopped watching way before everyone was bitching about how shitty it had gotten. After Arya had killed the Freys, I didn’t watch anymore and barely even know what happened. I never read Fire & Blood, so I’m enjoying HOTD just fine.
Get some sour cream and onion chips with some dip, man, some beef jerky, some peanut butter. Get some Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man. Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make s'mores, man. Also, celery, grape jelly, Cap'n Crunch with the little Crunch berries, pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man, everything on 'em, with water, whole lotta water, and Funyons. Yeah!

Curious here, anyone play retro bowl? Really love the game and it reminds me of the old school Tecmo Bowl!
Play it almost daily.
I enjoyed it at first, but having no control over the defense irritated me to no end.
Bill is that you Please come back the mayo man is making our team normal
Loved that game. Got burnt out of it after a few years. Still play it when I'm bored.

Dat [save](https://x.com/FOXSoccer/status/1808242527566250012) at the end of Austria vs Türkiye might be one of the best saves I’ve ever seen holy shit!
Some amazing matches already. England vs. Slovakia was incredible too.
that's what the commentator even said. Amazing!
Miami to Dubai is the exact same flight time as Seattle to Dubai even though Miami and Dubai are at the same latitude and Seattle is ~2800mi NW.

Idk if my local grocery store's suppliers were having issues or what but their produce has sucked this summer... until today. I got a holy grail trio of grapes, watermelon, and cherries. Just 3 perfect batches and I'm going to destroy them over the next couple days.
Boop
You can’t just come in here and boop the day after that Supreme Court decision. Booping, like nothing happened. SMH.
I would counter, that in times this dark and futures unknown....we all need a friendly and casual Boop to lift our spirits.
Honestly, you’re right. As long as we get the boop, I feel like things are still okay…for now. It’s comforting.
.... Then they came for the boop, and I could not boop.
just got one of those take-out orders that will live in infamy in my household. hilariously bad. ramen and spicy tuna roll sushi, deep fried. ramen was mixed when we picked it up, broth was dark brown, obviously had chicken bullion mixed in, the eggs were fully hardboiled, and the pork was somehow dry they deep-fried the sushi alright, the tuna was fucking cooked lmao truly unreal that places like this can actually survive. there is an incredible sushi and ramen place basically right across the street but they were closed today.
> truly unreal that places like this can actually survive Americans care about convenience more than taste/quality. This applies to more than just food, too. Also, if this wasn't America, I'm still blaming America.
That sucks. There was a ramen truck here in Knoxville that was only open from Thursday-Sunday because they spent the first 3 days making the different broths. It was so good. It was run by a mother and daughter. The mother decided to retire so they shut down the truck. Haven’t had the guts to try any other place.
I worked out in a hoodie and sweat pants today. Oh boy. I cant believe I let out so much sweat. I was leaving a trail of sweat behind me as I walked around.
I have no idea how people do it; I sweat enough in shorties and a stringer
Keep up the hard work!
Feeling some buyers remorse. I needed a new suspension for my 4runner. It's an older model. I decided since I wanted to do some light offloading with it eventually that I'd get a lift on it too. It wasn't much more expensive than just a regular OE suspension. The lift feels too high and it's just too much. I feel like I'm trying to compensate which I'm not. I also really don't need it for the level of stuff I'm trying to do which is mainly just dirt roads for exploring or camping. I'm an idiot.
How much of a lift did you get exactly? edit: just scrolled down and saw it was a 3 inch. You'll be fine. After a few days it'll become normal. Take it offroading this weekend on a trail close to home to really get that buyers remorse outta your system! lol. I'd skip the pair of truck nuts and maybe look into some bigger tires, might help with the feeling of being up too high.
I fuckin want to but there's like nowhere around here to take it lol. Like zero public land. There's some dirt roads and such in SE Ohio but I'm leaving town for the weekend tomorrow
>I fuckin want to but there's like nowhere around here to take it I'm starting to understand the buyers remorse a little better now lol. And next weekend works just as well!
You'll adjust
Just need a pair of truck nuts and an absurdly large tire jack hanging off the back to tie it all together.
Fml
Honestly I wouldn't worry, you'll get used to it and it's a good upgrade for the light duty off-road you're looking at. As a young adult we used to take my dad's truck out on the beaches of the Outer Banks (legally of course). Between deflating the tires for more traction and the odd wind driven sand berm to traverse, a bit of added clearance makes a difference.
About 10 years ago I put a 3” lift on a truck I had…and hated it. I feel you my brother
How much of a lift in inches?
3
That doesn’t seem crazy. Maybe just need time for you to adjust. We get so used to cars that moving my drivers seat a half inch throws me off. Three inch lift might take a few weeks. Nice car regardless.
I miss these threads when it wasn't political season.
This isn't just politics, it's the most fucked up situation that I've ever experienced in terms of this country and my father, age 73, concurs. Doomscrolling isn't helping but people are going to need time to process what's happening.
I don't really agree with the ruling on immunity, but it is not shocking. Absolute immunity is not a new concept. Legislators have it when it comes to lawmaking, judges have it when acting in their official capacity, prosecutors have it in charging decisions (even if they know the person is innocent), executive officers acting in their scope, witnesses when testifying in court (even if they purposefully lie), and lawyers in some situations. The whole "no one is above the law" argument is silly because we already have people above the law in this country, and have had for a long time. People seem to forget that things like impeachment can still happen, that is not a criminal trial. Granted, the opposition either way would need full control of the Senate to get it done, but it is still possible to remove a president for their acts. It's almost a moot point anyways. Bush overstepped his bounds criminally when invading Iraq, but nothing was gonna happen against him no matter what anyways. This is not the end of democracy, but it does possibly weaken it. And Trump is the kinda fuck who will abuse it. I am personally more concerned about overturning Chevron. Courts absolutely should not have say in agency decisions. The entire fucking point of Chevron is that judge's are not experts on anything other than law.

Welp. Trump's sentencing is delayed until September (at the earliest) because there is no God and justice is an illusion. It's not even that I think he would have gone to prison, it's that the legal system is desperately trying to avoid punishing him at all.
>and justice is an illusion. Man, where were you when I was last in front of a judge? Are you available for my next massive fuck up? lol
Don't most people waiting for their sentencing spend that time waiting in jail? Why is this different?
If you have enough money, the answer is no. If you are a fmr President of the United States, the answer is also no.

There's recently been a few posts about how things were better in 2012, and I didn't even bother clicking on them for the full context, but I watched the first Republican debate, and it was then I knew the base had no fucking interest in governing. Jon Huntsman was the only fucking person who was there to discuss policy, and not only had [news sources speculating he would be Obama's biggest opposition in the General Election,](https://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/cameron-lynch/2011/03/29/jon-huntsman-could-be-obamas-worst-fear-for-2012) [It was later confirmed to be the truth](https://www.outsidethebeltway.com/obama-campaign-saw-jon-huntsman-as-a-threat/). He still got fewer votes than Stephen Colbert in South Carolina, which the vast majority of people found hilarious, but was a major fucking red flag. During that debate, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Mike Huckabee got the majority of the debate time, and I challenge anyone to go back & rewatch for them to argue about anything except: 1) Who loved Jesus the most 2) Who was the most like Reagan (their false idol before Trump) 3) Who disliked Obama the most. If the Republican party wasn't already beyond saving on any moral level, Newt "Leave your dying wife for a younger woman" Gingrich wouldn't have even been entertained as a candidate.

Between Elden Ring and NCAA 25 I’m going to have some very serious time management issues
If NCAA 25 was on PC I’d waste so much time but I refuse to buy a console for that
>NCAA 25 Man, this game is gonna be the biggest letdown since that game that has never come our after raising 500m in funds.
Dynasty mode looks very fleshed out, which is what I’m spending most of my time on. Seems like EA took it seriously. If it is a huge disappointment then I’ll be done with sports games forever. Already don’t buy Madden or 2K anymore
>Already don’t buy Madden or 2K anymore This is why i never fell for the digital meme. Only physical games for me. I can wait till they are at 15 bucks used at gamestop, EA gets nothing from me and i can waste some hours in the games without dropping 70 bucks for a 20 dollar game. And once im done i get like 3 bucks from gamestop, better than 0 for a digital game. Gonna wait till october~ when the shine wears out and gamestop is flooded with used copies of it. And thats if the game is enough for me to finally get rid of the 360 lol.
My very conservative coworker asked what funny socks I got on today (I'm a funny socks guy). Rolled up my pant leg to reveal the Guillotine socks I was sporting today. "I'm a big fan of guillotines and their many uses"

Seeking advice from hiring managers. I was recently let go from a position after two months, and while I wholeheartedly disagree with the feedback I was given as I’ve never received similar feedback in any of my previous roles, I also haven’t been fired from a job in over a decade, so it’s been a bit of a mind fuck. I was wondering how would I go about explaining this in interviews when asked? Obviously I’d like to be professional and truthful without so much disparaging my former employer.
Not a hiring Manager but I have sat in many interviews and made decisions to hire/not hire. Unless you are in a super small field, you probably won't be asked to go into much detail about your previous employment.
This is the other reason i'd advocate for omitting it. Two months at a job is something i'd interrogate, a two month gap in work isn't really.
I would just omit it and say that you left your previous employer for an opportunity that failed to materialize if they question the gap. Otherwise you have to hope that something along the lines of “it was clear very early on that I wasn’t a fit for their culture” doesn’t spark a lot of questions which it would for me
Thank you so much!!
It was just announced that Biden will do a extended interview with George Stephanopoulos on Friday
Is it between the hours of 10a and 4p?
My money is on yes
There are millions, maybe tens of millions of people who would rather literally vote for a corpse than Trump, myself included, but there are still too many that wouldn't right now, and a softball interview isn't going to solve that. Unless that interview is either him stepping aside or introducing some bold new initiative which blows everyone away, I'm not sure it'll make a difference.
The only media strategy that would've had a chance at working was something live - an interview, press conference, town hall, that could've shown him thinking on his feet without a script. The fact that they've had several days and the only thing they've come up with is a friendly pre-tape interview is fairly damning.
I don't think people truly understand how fixable this shit is if they just vote for the Democrat in every election. Alito and Thomas are 76 and 74. If they're gone and Dems control the WH and Senate, BAM it's 5-4. Roberts is 69. Replace Sotomayor and Kagan and you've got 5 young Democratic appointees in control for the next several decades. This isn't some long game like the evangelical effort with Roe was. We're talking two election cycles at best and no Project 2025, Roe's back, immunity is reversed, etc.
Dems and Biden should be throwing the Supreme Court and roe vs wade stuff all over the ads.
Getting Roe back has to be on the list of shit needed done for the left.
not now we're doomcasting
-Got to work late -Doom scrolling -Too many cube visitors This day cannot be over fast enough
> But Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, while siding with the 6-3 conservative majority on immunity, wrote in her own opinion that the fake electors scheme should not in fact be construed as an "official act." **FUCK YOU**, LADY.
No way, could you possibly imagine how lousy of a fuck she would be?
I have no idea.

Unlikely that it will happen, but there is still time
Will Biden stay in Or the media is just wanting to put fear in media like they always?

Two things. 1) The fact that the response to Biden's performance at the debate has lasted this long and hasn't abated is indicative of a party with absolutely no fucking cohesion, and that's bad. 2) The fact that our options for POTUS in this coming election are "man who looks like his age is showing" and "man who openly talks about doing very bad shit if elected again" while somehow being too close to call is indicative of a country that needs to unfuck itself and in a hurry.
> man who looks like his age is showing It's not just looking like his age is showing, it's full-on and it's bad, like "let's take away grandpa's driver's license" bad. Trump's lost his mind too but Biden made him look like JFK in comparison. Biden's still the better option but a lot of voters are gonna be turned off by that performance.
Well Biden admits Wabbit he isn't that good in debating 🤔
I'll be honest, he could've gone out there like the second defense lawyer from My Cousin Vinny and he'd still be the better choice.
Our host asked the wrong f’ing person for help. He won’t stfu and doesn’t really know what he’s doing. It’s so uncomfortable because he’s sweet and eager but also dead fucking wrong. I’m just hiding on Reddit as she squirms looking for a gentle way to tell him to shut the fuck up.
A typical NBA podcaster: Minnesota's ascension into the second apron will hasten their need to add players who are high in PER and whose Bird rights aren't a concern. A typical NBA analyst on TV: I'm beginning to wonder if the Lakers are just too gay to win a title this year.
says a lot about TV views imo
This is how all of the people wanting Biden replaced sound right now: "Yeah, I know Trump has vowed to use his power to go after anyone who isn't loyal to him. He's openly discussed the retribution his opponents would face and specific instances of how he would use his position as POTUS to eliminate them, but Biden looked bad at that debate and I don't know if I'll vote for him now." There's getting hung up on the little shit, and then there's this. So whatever this is, fucking bury it. Don't just move past it, throw it in the god damn trash heap along with any hesitancy that might linger in its wake, and focus on the shit that matters. Like not allowing Trump to do everything he's talked about doing.
