    - Sunday mornings aren't bad here. I had switched from late Sunday afternoon because things were so picked over -- nm - decline Nov 4, 09:26 1

    - I despise crowded grocery shopping. - Strongbad Nov 4, 09:17 1
      - Then you want to switch to Friday night. Like 9pm. -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 09:24

    - I don't care if it's a sundown town in Oklahama, field a candidate. -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 08:56 2
      - I read it actually helps the Democratic Governor out because this guy held up a lot of his ideas. Now there’s no machine-clog with decades of chits. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 08:58 1
        
        In theory, this guy's win could cause NJ to pass more progressive wants. In theory. -- (edited) - ty97 Nov 4, 09:13

- I'm sure it was worth it and Trump will pardon her. Oh, wait. -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 08:48 12
  - JFK Jr will! -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 08:57
  - Technically could still happen. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:55 10
    - God forbid he comes back. However, I still doubt he would do anything for them, especially at that point. The useful idiots served their purpose. -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 08:57 9
      - oh make no mistake, if it returns to office, he will pardon a good portion of them, if not all of them. -- (edited) - Jovian Nov 4, 09:02 8
        
        Ehh. They weren't successful so likely considered losers. SAD! -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 09:05 7
        
        It's 50/50 that he thinks this or sees them as his own army. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 09:11 6
        
        I’d put money on the latter, easy. - znufrii Nov 4, 09:14 4
        
        If he gets re-elected, he's going to try again, so ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 09:21 2
        
        But they are his flying monkeys regardless. So, I see no net benefit to him. Other than pwning the Libs/Media. Hmm, I'm becoming swayed. -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 09:25 1
        
        his benefit is not only to own the libs, but to throw massive very tasty red meat to his rabid base. - Jovian Nov 4, 09:26
        
        it'd be quite literally one of his first acts -- nm - Jovian Nov 4, 09:15
        
        He 100% sees them as his own army. Just like Hitler did with his radicals in the Beer Hall Putsch. -- nm - Jovian Nov 4, 09:13
- pornstar name -- nm - Jovian Nov 4, 08:45
- nice -- nm - mud Nov 4, 08:44
- "Definitely not going to jail. Sorry I have blonde hair white skin a great job a great future and I'm not going to jail" -- nm - decline Nov 4, 08:42 2
  - She probably does have a great future as a persecuted white girl with blond hair who was sent to prison 'for her political beliefs' blah blah blah -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 08:51 1
    - Oh, yeah, book deal time or something. But with those attributes, she should probably have tried harder to avoid jail. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 08:54
- I’m sure someone somewhere is tracking the aggregate sentences of all these assholes. Do we know where that might be? -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 4, 08:38 5
  - There are a couple of good databases mentioned here, but I don't know that you can just see sentences. -- (link) - mara Nov 4, 08:52 1
    - Thanks, that’s a neat visual. Was hoping to find one place that’s just adding up all the sentences as they are handed down. - znufrii Nov 4, 08:55
  - The DOJ? -- (link) - mara Nov 4, 08:46 1
    - Actually, I think there's another one that I follow on Twitter. Looking. -- nm - mara Nov 4, 08:46
  - this twitter account is by far the best -- (link) - Jovian Nov 4, 08:40
I get amused when people respond to the time changes by saying "don't change the clocks, just change when everyone goes to work!" - Reagen Nov 4, 08:15 13
- Personally I love the change overs - rollo Nov 4, 08:35 3
  - MONSTER -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 08:50
  - Everything outside of the tropics and poles is a compromise. I think the switch is a bit late up north but that's down to our latitude. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 08:40
  - *high five* -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 08:39
- Those 24 hour Alaska work days in summer..... -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 08:29
- Who says that? -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 08:19 7
  - Same folks who think there should be a single global clock? - JD Nov 4, 08:23 5
    - Except exposure to sunlight is important to human health. Sorry, pretty sure I miss interpreted. Shift daytime hours? -- nm* - VMan Nov 4, 08:28 4
      - Just numbers 8-) We'd still be out in sun. It would just be that sunrise for me would be currently at like 2PM -- nm - JD Nov 4, 08:29 3
        
        Yeah, pieced it together. It would still be weird and at least take some getting used to. -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 08:31 2
        
        China on a single time zone is weird engouh -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 4, 08:32 1
        
        Which means in the west of China, sunrise is at almost 10am in the winter. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 08:38
  - I've said something similar, although not as a solution, but as a different way of thinking about it. -- nm - mara Nov 4, 08:20
Krusty - have you considered getting some seasonal job for the holidays while you figure out the dog walking situation? - Andie Nov 4, 08:15 12
- That's my fall back option if I can't get a walking job in the next week or so. - Krusty Nov 4, 08:22 9
  - Have you considered a slight career change into becoming a Dom Master who walks subs around as if they were dogs? -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 09:06 2
    - The pay is better and the outfits...fabulous.... - zeitgeist Nov 4, 11:35
    - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 09:26
  - Macys, FedEx and the Post Office are hiring... -- nm* - Diva Nov 4, 08:34 1
    - I tried the post office but they require a driver's license which I don't have yet. I was looking at them in the summer which is why I started - Krusty Nov 4, 08:38
  - There’s worse places to end up working than TJ’s, it even inspired the musical my friends wrote. :) -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 08:24 3
    - And a fun show it was!! -- nm - Meg Nov 4, 08:48 1
      - ~It’s gonna be the best November in forever!~ -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 09:02
    - free food! -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 08:24

OBJr excused from practice again by the Browns -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 08:04 2
- Thought the Coach excused him from the season? -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 08:07 1
  - that was just Baker's passing -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 08:12
Eag—Re B2: ask her where she gets her info from—Facebook? Fox News? Other—Genuinely interested -- nm - flavorize Nov 4, 07:40 6

- Someone told me, yesterday, that they aren’t doing the vax because vitamins and karate 🥋, keep them healthy and immune -- nm - flavorize Nov 4, 07:43 3
  - I usually send those people the obits of fitness trainers who died of COVID. You'd be surprised how many. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 08:22
  - HASAN CHOP the Covid when they get it. Seems legit. -- nm - Pippy Nov 4, 08:15 1
    - That being said, I am taking Vitamin D weekly still :) - oblique Nov 4, 08:25
- Will she not trust her own doctor? Assuming she has one. -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 07:42

- What's happening with Sinclair? -- nm - MDH Nov 4, 07:38 4
  - Their last quarterly was this week. They're billions in debt and have no out. - Mop Nov 4, 07:46 3
    - And nothing of value will be lost. -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 09:10
    - good. eff dem hos -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 08:05
    - That's....a mess ha -- nm - MDH Nov 4, 07:48
I don't know what's going on but I can't even get a dog walking job. I've applied to multiple dog walking companies and not one has even - Krusty Nov 4, 07:28 9
- Can you gig it? Steal former customers for yourself? -- nm - VMan Nov 4, 07:38 4
  - My problem is getting new clients. So many people are still working from home and care for their own dogs. I lost every client I had before the virus. - Krusty Nov 4, 07:43 3
    - Sorry, to hear that. No, I was more implying if you are unemployed just to reach out to people you had walked for previously. - VMan Nov 4, 07:47 1
      - The only former client I have left in the city works from home full time. I've boarded her dogs and they'll be back in two weeks but she was good for - Krusty Nov 4, 07:50
    - At this point I just want to do the walks and make the money. I'm fine working for a business as it would be on them to keep new clients coming in and - Krusty Nov 4, 07:45
- :-( I could buy a bunch of shoes but I'm only Size 8 1/2 ! -- nm - mud Nov 4, 07:32 3
  - You can stuff a lot of newspaper into the toe box. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 07:36 2
    - arent they all 12s?! -- nm - mud Nov 4, 07:50 1
      - Mostly, yeah. I have some 11.5 but nothing close to 8.5. You'd have little competition for sneakers and they'd likely cost less in your size. - Krusty Nov 4, 07:52
“We’re a country of selfish fucks, and the sooner Democrats stop trying to do anything about it, the better.” -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 4, 07:28 14
- The problem is, the Dems are always TRYING to do something about it and they never actually DO something about it. - Turd Ferguson Nov 4, 08:25 6
  - The GOP version of a big tent is that it’s a monolith. The Dems version is one that’s comprised of a slew of smaller tents. -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 09:29 1
    - Yep. -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 09:32
  - Well, yeah. It’s easy to move together as a party when you only ever want to go backwards. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 4, 08:30 2
    - "What do you want for dinner" except every day in ever town, state, and DC. -- nm* - ty97 Nov 4, 08:52
    - Yup - and everything you just said - regardless of truth or right - loses elections. nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 4, 08:47
  - It drives me bonkers that a couple of obstructionists in our own party shut down simple basic well-liked things such as family leave -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 08:28
- I thought Paid Family Leave was popular among Democrats and Republicans and we can't even get that passed. -- nm - Dano Nov 4, 07:56 4
  - It has nothing to do with popular support. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 08:23
  - Ivanka Trump was supposedly for it (but not really). -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 08:14 2
    - She's all for it in America. All of her workers are Chinese children - so she'd still be good. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 4, 08:26 1
      - Oh, she didn't give her American employees paid leave. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 08:35
- Never mind that we aren't, but the selfish have entrenched their power so that it looks like that's the case -- nm - TWuG Nov 4, 07:32 1
  - Americans give a fortune in charitable donations. I think we might rank first in giving to charity but we're still a rather selfish people. -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 4, 07:38
