I imagined work as a building with a big neon sign out front that said “work”.

Careful with that. If you’re not making estimated tax payments on your dividends (or other capital gains) every quarter or increasing your withholdings from wages to compensate, and you owe too much at the end of the year, you can get hit with penalties and interest.
For most people the quarterly dividends in their brokerage aren’t enough to trigger that, but as your savings grows and quarterly dividends become significant they might.
Yeah, certainly seems fake. But I can conceive of someone that’s NB, fluid, or something else who is unable/unwilling to admit that to themselves or choosing to remain cis presenting for social reasons deciding to present as a woman due to a micropenis.
But yeah, fake.
Very true. But that’s different from not deserving the proceeds from their work.
If I mismanage my money and am completely broke when I hit retirement age that doesn’t mean I don’t deserve the pension I’ve been paying into my entire career.
The dude is 81. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect to be able to retire long before that. Entertainers generally don’t have pensions, so earnings from their copyrighted material can function like one.
I have no problem with copyrights held by an artist lasting for the life of the creator. But copyrights maintained by corporations or other entities indefinitely, especially after the death of the creator, are bullshit.
Is the book just the story or does it have the parts where the grandpa is reading the book to the kid?
Shit, I don’t even think it has to be subtle. People emigrate all the time for a variety of reasons. And most of them are much less compelling than “I’m surrounded by people who might decide to murder my entire family any day.”
They have no responsibility to stick it out and take the risk just because other people, including myself, don’t want to see the settlers win.
It seems like it was just yesterday some would bring up some millennial kids bullshit and someone else would respond; “you know they’re all adults now, right?”
Now it’s starting to happen with zoomers?
I don’t know where I was going with this. I’m going to go take my Geritol now.
Exactly. I get the frustrations of the son and grandson of factory workers that finds it hard to imagine anything more than working at Walmart wanting to tear it all down. What I don’t understand is my neighbor in Dana Point.
I assume that’s a gif because I remember that line and it’s a perfectly hilarious response, but I just see a pic.
Gifs don’t seem to work for me. Is that a problem with Jerboa?
Yeah, insta-fail is just lazy design. Becoming undetected again is fun.

And Mel Gibson. When they were lobbying to get rid of the regulations, the supplement industry did commercials that had Mel’s home getting raided by SWAT-looking guys for having supplements.
I don’t know what “very little” means to you, but I have friends that are married with children, unlikely to face violence motivated by bigotry (location dependant, YMMV), and have legal protections from discrimination in housing and employment.
When I was a kid they could get fired or evicted with no recource, and if they had the temerity to poke their head out of the closet someone could kick their ass with impunity unless they were seriously injured or killed, and sometimes even then.
But sure, “very little,” let’s go with that.
Occupied West Taiwan
Google images of “oasis band members.”
As I understand it, that’s some Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson shit.
Back in the 70s liberal/liberalism meant pretty much the same thing in the U.S. as elsewhere. Nixon even called his reelection something along the lines of “a victory for western liberal democracy.” Part of liberalism is a focus on rights of the individual, including civil rights. Civil rights and many other liberation movements of the era used the language of that aspect of liberalism.
Enter a bunch of religious assholes of the time. They loved all the pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps, right to private property, greed, etc. of individual rights but had a big problem with women wearing pants and expecting to be able to go to work without being sexually assaulted, gay people existing openly and breathing, and probably the civil rights movement too but it was going out of style to be open about that. They started using liberal/liberalism in a denigrating way to describe feminists, LGBT people, and any other group that got their puritanical knickers in a twist.
After a couple decades the terms were completely divorced from their original political theory definitions which would, I think, have Republicans considered more liberal than Democrats. But I suppose that could depend on which aspects of liberalism you give more weight to.
I didn’t realize French territory is so widespread.
So if the U.K. ever complies with the UN and the ICJ and relinquishes control of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, the sun will set on the British empire, but not on France.
That’ll be funny as fuck and I hope France never misses an opportunity to point it out.
Believe this hype; You can make a difference.
I lived in Florida in 2000. If I had recruited a couple friends, and I knew people who would have been down, and we drove vans back and forth to the polls all day…
He’s hated. But in a way that makes you want to see more of him.
