so I'm turning down that job. note that I am still looking (my goal is to resign in march) and I am in pools for two other jobs right now. -- (edited) - amanda jeans Feb 22, 07:49 14
- I declare it's pools and hot tubs from here on out. - Max Feb 22, 09:15
- No judging. No reason to take something that's not right. Otherwise you'd be in the same situation 2 years from now. -- nm - Dano Feb 22, 08:02
- Positions remain Open at some places for a reason -- nm - budice Feb 22, 07:57
- You are a Job Heartbreaker! -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 07:57

- Grab that net and catch that beautiful butterfly. Get what you want. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 22, 07:52 1
  - yeah, I shoudl have asked you guys on friday rather than beating myself up this weekend about it. thanks. -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 22, 07:52
- also, I think the best thing that came out of that offer was that I got an offer. it gives me the confidence that I am in fact employable - amanda jeans Feb 22, 07:51 2
  - yup -- nm - prayformojo Feb 22, 08:03
  - You're far more than employable. You keep that bloody place upright. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 22, 07:53

Arbery killers guilty all charges in federal trial -- (link) - mud Feb 22, 07:45 5

  - A similar thing happened on the Judy Justice episode I watched yesterday. -- nm - Dano Feb 22, 08:03

Kenyan ambassador to the UN Security Council has thoughts on the Ukraine/Russia situation. A lot of wisdom here. -- (link) - TWuG Feb 22, 07:18
Wtaf? -- (link) - znufrii Feb 22, 07:16 5
- I have some...doubts about this story. -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 07:19 4
  - Yeah, especially given the Sheriff's quote at the end. -- nm - Inigo Feb 22, 07:21 3
    - Mind you, it is terrible and awful if it happened as reported. - ty97 Feb 22, 07:26 1
      - Even if it happened as reported, the bigger issue is that a man would ever give a 4 year old a gun and tell them to shoot. -- (edited) - Inigo Feb 22, 07:30
    - And that. Eesh. -- nm - znufrii Feb 22, 07:21
Democrats have been souring on Biden since last summer. -- (link) - Inigo Feb 22, 07:12 40
- The CW is that he should be less ambitious and just "get stuff done". The CW is BS and his approval is low because he isn't progressive enough. - TWuG Feb 22, 07:35 20
  - Student loan forgiveness polling is a mixed bag. Forgiving all student loans does not poll well. - ty97 Feb 22, 07:57 3
    - Biden is only able to cancel fed loan debt. And that's all he's being asked to do. As usual, Dem messaging misses saying that. - TWuG Feb 22, 08:01 1
      - Improved messaging would be good, but forgiving *all* of that debt has low support. - ty97 Feb 22, 08:09
    - The vocal contingent of "Forgive all loans or we don't vote for Dems" is an exact representation of the party's issues. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 08:01
  - Most of the things you mention in the IM are popular to a vocal twitter crowd, and no one else. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 07:40 14
    - You're wrong.Progressive policies are exceedingly popular. -- nm - TWuG Feb 22, 07:45 1
      - Virtually every progressive lost in 2020 and since then. They aren't winning, and neither are their policies. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 07:47
    - If anything they’re listening too much to the extremely Twitter crowd already. -- nm - spamlet Feb 22, 07:44 11
      - Agreed. Enough with getting rid of the filibuster. 2 Senators just won't do it. - Inigo Feb 22, 07:52 6
        
        And: Fair or not, the President's party get hit with the failures to succeed. Trying to be like "Don't blame me, blame the Senate" doesn't really work - ty97 Feb 22, 07:54 4
        
        But they're not any more inept than the Republicans under Trump. - Inigo Feb 22, 07:58 3
        
        I'm not arguing that any of it is fair!!! -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 08:10
        
        It’s a double standard though. Republicans don’t really need to pass anything to achieve their goals. Democrats do. -- nm - znufrii Feb 22, 08:02 1
        
        This. -- nm - TWuG Feb 22, 08:04
        
        Agreed here as well. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 07:54
      - YUP. Student Debt is absolutely radioactive to anyone not living in twittersphere and many people do not understand it. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 07:48
      - Expand? I'm not sold on this? -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 07:47 2
        
        The Twitterverse is not at all reflective of the country as a whole but it’s what matters to who is in government. - spamlet Feb 22, 08:06 1
        
        I agree that lefty Twitter is a loud minority. I'm not convinced that it is getting heavily oversized coverage in the media? - ty97 Feb 22, 08:12
  - See my post below. I think that's *part* of it but by no means the complete picture. - ty97 Feb 22, 07:38
- Democrats are big dumb babies. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 22, 07:30 14
  - (Like, think back to 2020 and then remember that today is pretty okay.) -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 22, 07:31 13
    - I think it's a combo of some dems being unhappy with inflation (which will always hurt a president, just like gas prices) - ty97 Feb 22, 07:35 2
      - No one would have gotten more done in Congress given these razor thin margins. It wouldn't have mattered who the President was at this point, imo. -- nm - Inigo Feb 22, 07:37 1
        
        This may be true! -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 07:38
    - Right, unemployment is down, wages are up, we have a decent, sane, moral leader, we now have an Infrastruture bill... - Inigo Feb 22, 07:34 9
      - I'm happy about the infra bill, we needed it! It's just not something that's going to register with your average voter. - ty97 Feb 22, 07:37 7
        
        We're talking about Democrats. Not just average voters. - Inigo Feb 22, 07:39 5
        
        I'm talking about average Democrat voters. Remember that we are tuned in exponentially more than your average (Democrat or otherwise) voter. - ty97 Feb 22, 07:46 4
        
        oh one more! - ty97 Feb 22, 07:52 3
        
        Sure, but this type of waning of support doesn't happen with Republican voters. - Inigo Feb 22, 08:01 2
        
        "It takes one reason for a Democrat not to support someone, and one reason for a GOP to support them" -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 08:02
        
        I agree! -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 08:02
        
        This. That bill is wonderful, and did absolutely nothing to gain ground with any voters. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 07:38
      - Wages are up less than inflation, ergo wage are down. -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 07:36
- Inflation, gas prices, and mask mandates. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 07:26 3
  - I don't think mask mandates are what's keeping his Democratic numbers down. Inflation and gas prices are definitely true, though. -- nm - Inigo Feb 22, 07:35 2
    - DCCC Polling Contested Districts: 57% of voter believe Dems have gone too far with COVID restrictions. 66% of swing voters. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 07:37 1
      - But again that's not *Democratic* voters. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 07:46

- I don't know Canadian law and don't want to presume it acts like US law. From a US-centric view, I don't get this though. -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 06:55 6
  - The undead have notoriously few rights in Canadian law. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 07:03 1
    - being a disciple of Vecna didn't help either -- nm - Beaker Feb 22, 07:04

So I flew* on Spirit Airlines for the first time last week. - ty97 Feb 22, 06:21 5
- OK for quick flights for the most part. -- nm - budice Feb 22, 06:33
- Is Spirit the one that is super cheap but they nickel and dime every little thing? -- nm - sycor Feb 22, 06:28 3
  - Yes. Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant all follow that model. - ty97 Feb 22, 06:29 1
    - ** NB: Spirit and Frontier recently announced plans to merge -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 06:33
  - Yes, but it has its downsides too -- nm - rollo Feb 22, 06:29
