My job just laid off two of the five managers in our division, both of whom were already doing the jobs of multiple people, even though our overarching company keeps bragging about how well we're doing. (Why THOSE two people got laid off is a whole other story.)

Meanwhile, I just found out that my annual raise will be 1.75% ... again. Because it's totally a "raise" when it doesn't even keep pace with inflation.

The reporter snickering and going "that's true" is so disgusting. Haha, fewer toys! Haha, every kid is spoiled! Haha, no families already struggle to buy one or two toys for their kids for Christmas!

I assume they'd be a lot more subtle in that case. But maybe I'm giving them (and/or agents of Beijing and Moscow) too much credit.

~2003, my mom, SIL, and I got carjacked outside SIL's house. Cops took a statement, but we admitted our description wasn't much help. Car was recovered (abandoned) and cops didn't bother dusting for prints or further investigating b/c 'they wouldn't be able to convict anyway.' Okay then.

It's also really funny that he thinks "super rich people are villains actually" is an idea that's popped up within the last ten years, rather than dating back to Biblical times, at least.

Is it weird that I was most disturbed by the cow giving a thumbs-up? Cows have hooves with a little pokey thing in the back; what are they supposed to raise???

You're absolutely right; that was completely a typo in my post. I'm surprised more people didn't point it out. 🙂

Indeed! I've explained to people that birds ARE reptiles because they aren't dinosaurs... but we still treat (and teach) them as a separate class / on the same level as "reptiles" because there are enough things that birds have in common but are different from most / all other reptiles.

They're related, but not the same. The structures are quite different, even though the hard parts of your teeth are largely made of the same minerals as your bones.

There's usually still an orgasm involved, though the desire may work in the opposite direction in that case. And there are exceptions even to that.
