Hey Hillary, we'd all appreciate it if you stopped being a public figure.

Data brokers would be likely then, imo.

The fear (a rational fear, I think) is that if they didn't, they'd potentially have an armed rebellion to deal with. Yea, it's shitty for this asshat to get gift after fucking gift but if there was any appearance of him being targeted he'd never fucking shut up about it.

I'm done with their bullshit and I feel, for democracy's sake, we should just seize all the family assets to discourage future ass hattery and deal with the consequences now... but I also do appreciate my relatives not living in a war zone.

Can you clarify if you're looking at a field where background checks are mandatory (like security) or one where the employer is voluntarily running one? In the latter case, brokers are usually cheaper and more common, in the former it may be mandated to go through a specific government entity i.e. county/state/province law enforcement - often times that will be dictated by contracts with clients, sometimes laws.

Except that Biden looks great - far more young voters will be peeved over the GOP blocking this than would have actually benefitted from the policy. "Biden tried to forgive your loans but the GOP just had to block it in the courts" - it might make Biden look somewhat incompetent but it mostly just makes Republicans look like they hate young people who are struggling.

Republicans torpedoing this is political stupidity... it's basically a free win for Biden where he looks like he did a good thing and doesn't actually need to allocate the funds.

Extremely safe - just be careful about where your feet are if you're next to them. More people than you'd think have lost or seriously injured a foot because a cow or, especially, a draft horse, can't see where they're stepping.

If you get a chance and it's just cows then go up and say hi, they're wonderful animals and unbelievaby chill. I'd honestly be more comfortable petting a strange cow then a strange cat... if they shy away or noticeably get irritated when you approach be smart and give them space, but you're probably just going to get licked and mooed at.

PHP and C are both fine languages, they have their strengths and their weaknesses. They're tools and if you feel the need to shit on them then you clearly need more practice using a diversity of languages.

Thinking that NDP voters want a CPC government is a fucking conservative fantasy.

Let's bear in mind that Trudeau handed this win to the CPC by repeatedly failing to pass any kind of voting reform - the CPC will never be able to win a majority vote among Canadians.

Landlords can get fucked.

Hotels can host plenty of tourists and they actually pay proper fucking taxes.

Infinite growth is an absolutely insane bar to set for the economy.

The lowered birthrates are because we're getting ground into dust - my engineering team of twenty millennials has two folks with kids and two folks who openly plan on having kids... we're aging out of the window and it's not that we're trying and failing - most of us just don't want a fucking family. We're too fucking busy already.

Just a sanity check here but... yall ever been mid conversation with someone and confused that they've forgotten a thing you talked about... until you realize that previous conversation took place entirely in your head?
