Tbh Biden probably has a better chance that way (still low but better than more debates and a general).

Ok she seems awesome, and I've heard the PSL endorsed by at least a few Marxists I trust, but what do yall think about them and their platform? Any weird gotchas in there or history of grossness from her or the organization?
This is great! Checking out Blame! now.
I've had it!
It's bad!
Taste is very strong extract, no actual pepper flavor. That's on top of a pretty bland chicken noodle. It had some heat, nothing crazy but more than nothing, but without the flavor it just felt completely separate from the soup. Like you just did a shooter of Da Bomb and then ate some (very mid) soup back to back.
As an aside, I feel like Ghost Pepper is going pretty mainstream right now, and there's some great stuff out there. Melinda's Creamy Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce is amaaaaazing, I go through practically a bottle a week; pretty hot for normies but sooo much flavor that I got acclimatized very quickly and it's pretty much my baseline now. Great for sandwiches/wraps or mixing with other sauces to pump up the heat (I put a bunch in all my Cane's sauces these days).
As an aside to the aside, Tobasco is no pepper-head's favorite, but their Scorpion sauce is actually pretty dang good. Flavor is decent, heat is awesome; very sharp and electric, gives very much the ouchie. Great for soups and chilis.
Yeah I feel this. My dreams are usually very realistic and very mundane. It fucka me up because I'll dream about planning an event or doing a project at work or something, and then I wake up and feel like I have a bunch of stuff on my todo list, but none of it is actually real. It's not nightmare-bad, but it is goddamn annoying.
When I was a much more regular user, that mostly went away and it was great. Now I only rarely get to have any and it's boring-town dream city, basically every night. Looking forward to recreational sales in this area soon.
Seriously, I'm always telling people about this. The most adament speeders are always the "fuck the government", you can't tell me what to do, come-and-take-it types, and it just baffles me because like, yeah, they will come and take it; in fact they love to!
You are giving the pigs a free pass to fully legally and justifiably pull you over any time they feel like it.
Obviously they'll still pull over anyone at any time and retroactively make up a reason, but at least then they are starting on shaky ground, and you've got a way better chance of beating any charges later.
If you hate the pigs so much, why would you make their job so easy? Especially if you're riding dirty in any way, then that just multiplies everything above a thousand times. And naturally, those that are the most cavalier about doing that always seems to be the ones that love speeding the most.
Yeah I can't really stand the guy, haven't really like him since anything after "Snowball Fight", but I gotta admit his late night show is easily the best out of any of them right now. Notwithstanding of course previous goats like Conan (or Ferguson a little).
Definitely! They've got a lot of understated but really cool instrumentation on this one. I tried drumming along to a few of the tracks, and it's easy enough to get a decent groove, but the subtleties they're actually playing are just completely wild. Like a jazz drummer just going nuts and doing his own thing, but just softly and real gently mixed. It's pretty impressive.
They just dropped a new album, "Only God Was Above Us", and as much as I was totally ready to hate it, it's actually really good. Nowhere near as saccharine as this track, but just real nice, very chill.
Congratulations, you have a conscience, and are therefore unsuited for management.
Also the confrontation thing, yeah big time. Moving up means more crushing downwards, which feels bad no matter what. Either somebody genuinely fucked up, and it's some degree of your fault for not training them right or catching it sooner, or they really did what they thought was right (and may have actually been the right thing) but a customer is mad or your bosses are mad or another department is mad, and you have to discipline them anyways.
You also have to fire people, which is probably the worst interpersonal interaction you can ever have at work, let alone in most areas of life. Again sometimes it's fully justified, and it still sucks, but plenty of times it's something like a layoff where it's "nothing personal, just the bottom line ya know", or it's that the bosses decided that this person needs to be fired for some arbitrary reason you may not even agree with, but you still have to be the one to pull the trigger and ruin this person's day/year. Additionally, you usually can't talk about the reasons with anyone else, so you have to field questions from the rest of your team that are usually good and valid, but you have to explain the away with vague corpo-speak and can't really tell them what's up.
So ya know, if any of that sounds fun, I mean, get checked out, because yikes.
Some of my favorite SW novels back in the day were the "Tales From Mos Eisley Cantina" and "Tales From Jabba's Palace" books. Basically every chapter just takes one of the random background characters from those scenes and tells their whole story. Really interesting way to get a lot of back story about characters that never seem to get any other real love.
Also, the story of the rancor trainer is really heartbreaking (seriously). Good stuff.
