I propose we go back to calling New York by older names - let’s call the state New Netherland and the city New Amsterdam!

Either that, or we create a new “American” language that purges all words derived from other, non English, languages… So most, if not all of our current words. I don’t know, maybe we just need to purge the non “white” words? What’s the current opinion on Spanish peoples, does Trump consider them “white”, would banana still be ok to use?

I’m feeling a bit weird about my username now

In my 20s, I was definitely pulling extra hours for no OT or just off the clock. I’m now in my 30s and am suing my previous employer for wage theft.

If they’re doing it to you, they’re doing it to co-workers. Save ALL your receipts, stubs, emails, chats… Collect contact info from other employees, so you have that info when they/you quit. Found out it was actually pretty easy to find a lawyer willing to take a (in the grand scheme of things) small payout case on contingency. Don’t know how it’s going to play out yet, but it’s looking good for something the employer considered me being petty.

Don’t forget that they are still legally minors, and therefore cannot legally sign divorce papers without the consent of their legal guardian (spouse) or an advocate. Marriage is a contract, minors cannot enter into a contract, modify, or terminate a contract without an adult advocate. With most contracts that would be the parents (or child advocate), unless they sign those rights over through a parent consented marriage.

I have a 2008 Infiniti. It’s a luxury vehicle that I paid $5k for and runs like it’s been smoking cigarettes the past 20 years.

Just told my son his goal is to beat Celyk.

Maybe he just needed a toothpick

Well let’s start with the price of the required DRs appointment every 3 months. We’re lucky, the Dr only charges $80 w/o insurance.

Easiest way to get rid of undocumented immigrants is to grant them all citizenship. Problem solved.

I’m a poll worker in Ohio. Last year was my 3rd presidential election. The amount of people who came in wanting to vote, but were not on our roles was incredibly high. I’m sure it’s disheartening for the voters, but man was that rough for workers too. Having to explain over and over that it sounds like you’ve been purged get rough.

Actually, the names were coined by a writer working for a pop magazine. He based the names on their personalities. After the article was published the names spread like wildfire with the public.

It wasn’t till later that The Spice Girls officially adopted the names. At least some of the members actually hated them. Unfortunately, all their fans were already using them, so the group didn’t have much of a choice.

I’m in the US. Got a text from my son, 12th grade, the other day at 12:09pm that said, “we just had our sixth fight today”

To clarify, he did mean 6th of the day, not the school year. He goes to the worst highschool in the area. Anyone with the capabilities gets their kids in a different school. We do not have those abilities. On the upside, he’s learning how to avoid conflict and enjoying his phlebotomy class. He’ll even be a certified phlebotomist by the end of the year (assuming his teacher can get access to funding for supplies that she’s currently disappearing from her hospital job)!

*I’m donating blood tomorrow at the local bank. Usually donate a few times a year, but scheduled for tomorrow for a specific reason. I have name and phone number of his teacher, and a list of supplies. I’m donating now to give me an excuse to ask for a supply donation from the blood bank. It’s a long shot, but the answer is always no when you don’t ask 🤷‍♀️

Sienna’s are great! I’ve owned 4 of them (because I tend to total cars), and been happy with all of them. Gets decent mileage for a van, and they hold value better than just about any other mini van. Never felt safer when ramming into the back of a semi while going 70mph! The van was totaled, but me and the kids were perfectly fine.

I’m not sure you know enough about the general relationship between Elvis and his manager “Colonel” Tom Parker, to be making assumptions like Elvis having a remotely equal say in career decisions.

Yes he did scam Elvis. He did that a lot infact.

He was also not a Colonel, even though he told people he was. He stole money from Presley to cover gambling debts, that’s on top of his 50% managers cut. He prevented Elvis from touring Europe due to his own immigration status. Also pressured Presley into film, as opposed to focusing more on music.

Parker did pressure Elvis into the military. Hell, he even influenced the relationship between Elvis and Priscilla, whom Elvis met while serving.

For shits and giggles, I tried to go the path of “yeah but…” starting with his nickname. Surely he was named “big balls” a decade or so ago by other people, no he named himself. Surely his previous connections are just that, previous and years if not decades old, no, it’s 2 years, at most.

“Big Balls” is 19 y/o 🙄 at this point. He gave himself that name and has ties to unknown hackers. He has “senior advisor” status, filling a role, that should likely be filled by a bureaucrat accountant - as opposed to a kid whose resume is being a ‘techbro with hacker connections’ and programming knowledge.

I just have to curse here. Jesus fucking Christ! What the hell! Dummkopf, i’idiot, idiota, was zur holle, що в біса, що в біса

It sounds like while your disability impacts your relationships, you are still physically capable of masturbating. There is a wide range of physical disabilities that can leave a person rather isolated outside of family, and incapable of physically “getting the job done”, while otherwise being healthy enough for sex/orgasms. So while you may have a great deal of trouble with forming relationships and meeting people, you are still able to experience the physical and mental relief of an orgasm. This is not attainable for everyone, and prostitutes can help in many of those situations.

I’m having a hard time thinking of garments that would be MORE likely to get caught in machinery than an ~8yd piece of fabric wrapped to include open ends, pleats, flaps and the over the shoulder option. A poncho or cloak is the only thing I can come up with.
