Number 2 spot is Germany. All of the immigrants they have ever had would need to double while not a single soul immigrated into the US for the next ~30 years.
Started a new job and it was 100+ in the main building. I asked if he could turn on the AC or if we could have some fans or water and he said "quit being a lil bitch".
Got into the work van he provided and the brakes barely worked. The mirrors were both cracked and broken as was the windshield. The windows didn't roll down. No AC. Tires were as smooth as drag tires. It should not have been road legal.
Got to a job site and had to crawl through an attic full of spider webs and rat shit without a hazmat suit thing because "he doesn't provide that sorta thing. If you're a baby and you want one you need to buy it yourself".
The final straw was on the drive back to base from the work site the two other guys I worked with said that I need to check my paystubs every time because the boss likes to not pay them for driving time which is supposed to be part of the payment.
Get back to the main building and the boss rocks up in a brand new Ford f350 with all the bells and whistles. Easily a 100 thousand dollar truck.
I didn't say anything but when I got home (after thinking on it for the whole drive home) I sent him a text saying I would not be returning to work for him and I will be mailing him back the branded work shirts he provided for me after I washed them.
I would have rather ended up homeless that work another day for that man.
Thankfully another job fell into my lap literally 3 days later.
And yet.... I accidentally type "Rodger" every time.
Something with "Roger" looks wrong to me and my brain thinks "nah there should be a d there so it sounds right"
Idk what to tell ya.
Well it is a political concern in the sense that it's realists and delusionals coming to a point where they can't co-exist anymore.
You're trying to convince people seahorses can actually fly despite everyone clearly being able to see that they cannot.
You have delusion going up against objective facts and you're trying to get everyone on board with the delusion which will never work.
99% of people do not give a shit if someone wants to identify as trans as long as they are an adult and they aren't trying to enter into spaces that belong to the biological gender they are now identifying as.
Where you lose people is when you involve children and when you try to make the argument that trans people are exactly the same as their bilogical mirrors. Everyone knows they are not. It is lunacy to try and pretend they are.
I will happily call them by their prefer name/gender and I will do my best to use neutral terms when I remember, but don't vilify people for making honest mistakes. Long before the whole transgender topic really blew up I remember accidentally mis gendering people on the phone a few times because I thought they sounded masculine or feminine. There was no ill intent and they didn't take it as such. They simply corrected me and I apologized and we moved on. That same interaction now has been turned into its own genre of rage bait video for some people.
Idk why but I have always said "Rodger Rodger" instead of just saying "ok".
Very few people get the reference without the gif so I just started using the gif.
It's a French sub though so it probably only fires gag missiles that just have a white flag on a stick at the tip.
Jokes aside can you smoke on a sub? Cause I know a lot of the French still habitually smoke cigarettes and I imagine that would do a number on the oxygen system. Let alone the dangers of possibly setting fires in a pressurized container deep underwater.
I'm sorry but that is incredibly stupid.
If he jumped on and hid after they had packed their vehicle how is that their fault? The stowaway is the one committing the crime knowingly.
Another very common L for UK policy and police.
The godfather movies.
I understand they influenced many other movies but they are just so fucking boring.
Does America have racists and dumb people within its borders? Absolutely. What country doesn't?
Is America the most racist country? Absolutely not. Is it the dumbest country? Also no.
Nowhere is perfect. Despite all its flaws America is still the number 1 immigration destination so clearly we must be doing something right.
99.99% of the time I am a function over form kinda guy.
I just do not like the shape of the first couple generations of the Prius.
The newest generation I actual think looks pretty good.
I can't deny they do run basically forever. My dad got one to replace his minivan once all the kids had moved out and he is able to take him and his wife to gigs with his whole drum set comfortably in the back.
I drive his Prius occasionally for various reasons and I just don't like it each time. I find it unsatisfying to drive and unpleasant to look, but I cannot deny it's utility and reliability.
Always appreciate someone who needs out about ATLA. I enjoyed the read and I guess I agree with you on the lava thing. Putting in context of the water benders being able to change the phases of water it makes more sense.
Man I wish I could rewatch ATLA for the first time again.
"I don't lose things. I place things in locations which later elude me." Has become part of my normal vocabulary.
My dad thought it was so funny that it got him to watch the show and now it's one of his favorite shows too.
...that's not how those bars work lol. You think the right stands for anarchy? Lmao.
If only it wasn't one of the most hideous vehicles ever made.
- You cant tell me what to do.
- I am not going to stop commenting on Dems issues as I want the democratic party to un fuck itself sometime before I die.
- You're proving my point for me again "oh look you have one thing we don't like you need to get outta here".
- I'm not trolling. You can look through all my comments on here. I never delete any comments (unless there is a glitch and I accidentally duplicate a response or something) so my entire post history is there. Feel free to read around the various topics I drop in and talk about. You will see I am not a troll.
Nobody said they didn't matter?
Not wanting trans women to compete against biological women in sports does not mean people want them to "go away". It means they aren't the same as biological women and people are tired of you guys pretending that they are.
When you look people in the eyes and tell them that a biological man that now identifies as a woman can actually get pregnant (despite lacking the biological requirements to do so) you are asking them to ignore reality and science which most people simply aren't willing to do.
You guys are mad at him but he is taking the same stance that the majority of people have on it.
Whether or not he actually believes that stance only he would know, but I would suspect that like many other people who are now "flipping" on the trans athletes these people probably didn't support them being in women's sports, but felt compelled to say they did because of the backlash they were worried about getting.
Now that people are noticing that the general public actually doesn't want this they are either playing into to popular stance to take or they are just feeling safe to actually express their opinions on the matter authentically.
Im all for it. I don't care if my fruity loops are all muted colors or any colors. as long as they taste good.
