It’s both.

I used to be close family friends with a man who is now a Congressman. He was my air conditioning repairman when I was little, and when he moved to DC without the wealth many other politicians had, he had a hard time paying for things like having houses in DC and back in the district.

He ended up doing little favors here and there to help pay rent, and it was a slippery slope to him bec9ming super corrupt.

We no longer speak.

I love me some V for Vendetta, but Zootopia is also really good at what it is. It’s meant to entertain children while also having some laughs for the parents, and Disney is really good at that shit.

The Gaza genocide is horrific. But it also wasn’t on the ballot.

Anyone who didn’t vote Harris was saying that they saw absolutely no difference between the 2 candidates and are okay with everything else that’s been happening since last January that wouldn’t have under Harris.

Moving right along.

Footloose and WITNESS ME!

Muppet. Fury. Road.

Anyone remember the Wing Commander 3 and 4 cutscenes?

Mark Hammil, John Ryhs-Davies, Malcolm McDowell, Tom Wilson, Casper Van-Dien, and even Walton Goggins!

Fine him equal to the money he spent on the election. And make him pay it back by working minimum wage with no access to his wealth until he’s paid his debts.

Minimum wage would skyrocket.

Well I have to lave it.

I’ve shot a lot of animals through the years. “Horny” is now how I would describe the aftermath.

Mostly it’s mild annoyance because now I have to clean it, which is a PITA.

It is.

My Dad was a firefighter for 35 years and people would sometimes bring them amazing food as a thank you for their help in one incident or another. Thing is, their schedules were such that they almost never gave the food to the correct crew, but that didn’t stop them from accepting it graciously.

Dad said he loved B-shift hero cake.

You mean Kazaa Lite K++, right?

I loved so much that one of the top downloads on Kazaa was a ripped version of the paid version of Kazaa.

Does it? I always see them.

Nobody is gonna see mee and think “sucess”, lol.

Edit: We’ve also been getting the City to hire us new people to help with that. We’re posting for my assistant this month, so I won’t be so bogged down in administrative paperwork stuff and can focus more on technical analysis, meetings, and using my vacation and comp time instead of letting it remain an unfunded liability for the city if I decide to quit.

The mayor realized how overworked we were when he finally got Council to let us hire the new person in January and we were still super busy all day. We explained that instead of working 60 hours a week we were now working like 50. So he’s getting us more people.

Buffalo.

It’s less about the dribble than the easy clean.

Absolutely. With proper application, asbestos can make all kinds of products last the rest of your life.

Depends if it’s an OSSF system or municipal wastewater.

If it’s septic, it just fucks the landlord.

My boss and I always work through lunch and end up working after-hours.

We got a new, young person right out of college in the office, and my boss and I have been very clear that she is not expected to work extra or skip lunch, and not to use us as examples. And if other employees mention that she doesn’t work as much as we do, we correct them and explain that she’s the one doing things right and not us.

We want the next generation to be better than us when it comes to work-life balance.

My city finally got a court order against a billionaire for unpermitted building that allows us to bulldoze his house. Just took 7 years in court to get the ruling…

And instead of bulldozing the house, we were able to use the court order to strongarm them into fixing their site so it no longer damages the environment, their neighbors, or city infrastructure.

The upside for the city there (aside from having to bid out and manage a major project in-house) is that we get a lot more tax revenue from a house that is brought into compliance than a scarred, demolished site.

But the withdrawal rate shouldn’t be based on contribution. A safety net that only provides for people who are already rich didn’t make any sense.
