I used to have a boss who wrote just like those scam emails, absolutely could not spell, all sorts of syntax errors. He once emailed ‘thanks for the help Brandon’ to one of the IT staff named Brenda.

Whenever hr would send those fake scam emails to test employees, it would be impossible to tell if it was from him or not. Total pain in the ass to deal with. He was also a terrible boss and constantly violated protocol and threw tantrums, so I could totally see that.

While its great these are being shot down now, I think the real push is going to be another similar executive order closer to the election that will completely demolish several states entire election apparatus (via mail-in ballots). Additionally, there will be one authorizing poll watchers and ice goons to purposely disenfranchise the minority vote. The real question is how and how fast will the SC respond. I’d imagine they will drag their feet but ultimately 5-4 in favor of the obvious constitutional right for states to run their elections, but can easily see them pulling some bs like their VRA rulings on the poll watchers. Going to use the whole Kavanaugh stop logic and pretend its no big deal.

Jfc, that’s a lot of casualties considering they haven’t even stepped foot on Iranian soil.

I believe I only got the email and no in app message. But I also probably didn’t open the app or the computer launcher in that time period, only using my steam deck. Funny because I was checking it every few days, worried that I’d miss it and then have just had a bunch of other stiff going on the last week.

Yeah, I was fully expecting to go to the back of the line. Got a quick response of ‘your purchase window has been reopened for 72 hours.’ They absolutely deserve the goodwill directed their way.

Missed the email for my reservation by a couple days (I’m in the by September group) but luckily after opening a help ticket they gave me a new window to purchase it. Just wanted to put it out there in case someone also misses there and a as a general good guy Steam. Excited to finally get my hands on one.

Two-piece band consisting of a drummer and a guitar and bass combo utilizing loopers. Seems like a bunch of people (includng myself) have just discovered them from a recent KEXP broadcast.

Hopefully they also have a credit in their bank account.

There's a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?

She should not be able to walk down the street without constant reminder of making this statement about victims of sex trafficking. Absolute monster of a person.

I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day since someone else posted a cover of it earlier. This is the second version released by original artist Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (Will Oldham), and was released after Johnny Cash covered it as part of his ‘I’m dying so here’s a billion covers to make you bawl’ phase, giving it a more uplifting feel with the thumping drum and backup vocals. One of my favorite post-depression jams for coming back to the world.

Potecting the stability of its shareholders was prioritized and this store -and its workforce- were deemed expendable.

Holy shit that’s cold. Ignoring the whole radical left bs, that’s insane callousness. Imagine veing the poor minimum wage employee that had to put that sign up before clocking out for the last time.

The chairman of the New York State Democratic Party said on Thursday that he would not support Zohran Mamdani, his party’s nominee for mayor of New York City, citing fundamental disagreements over Israel and democratic socialism.

The position puts the chairman, Jay Jacobs, directly at odds with both Democratic primary voters and Gov. Kathy Hochul, his de facto boss, who endorsed Mr. Mamdani on Sunday despite her own differences with the nominee.

Mr. Jacobs, a moderate from Long Island, was so opposed to the governor’s endorsement that he told associates in recent days that he would sooner resign as chairman than back Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, according to people who spoke with the chairman.

And yet, not a single republican I know, has ever even considered changing their vote. These articles are hopium, diminishing his base is not going to happen.

Does this book ever pick up? I’m about a quarter of the way in and so far ‘The Adventures of Mary Sue As She Looks For A Date’ is just not doing anything for me. I remember tears ago hearing of it and thought it’s political world building, but so far it seems to be nothing more than ‘theater kids rule the world but- no touching.’ It seems like it wants to dive into the politics, but then again very other page it derails itself itself with ‘those damn eyes.’

Idk, I guess I’ve probably already made up my mind, but would be interested to know if it ever gets out of its own way.

Thanks for the 4 years tuition though!

I could see them barring them from walking for their degree, but to hold it completely is messed up. Bullshit that ‘the corporation’ overruled the faculty vote.
