Without looking at the article, guess what party she's a member of.

This sort of empty rhetoric is what OP is talking about.

McConnell, now nearing his 82nd birthday, is determined to fund the Ukrainian war effort, a push his allies have depicted as legacy-defining.

Sorry, Mitch, but that ship has sailed. Your legacy as "Trump's penis butler" is cemented for all time. Nothing else you do, or did, counts. Nothing you accomplished matters. If you're remembered at all it will be as a craven traitor.

Fucking spam has ruined another communications medium.

I refuse to use the Brave browser, and I was prepared to abandon Firefox, over then-CEO Brendan Eich's $1000 donation in support of California's proposition 8 (banning same-sex marriage). I will never forgive the supporters of that proposition. I will not knowingly support their businesses.

I've lost all respect for Scott Adams (of the Dilbert comic strip) and Kelsey Grammar (Frasier actor). Their continued support for Donald Trump is damning.

That's equivalent to 24,000 hours at the federal minimum wage.

There are only 8,760 hours in a year.

I'd say there are fewer hostile people, but the ones that are hostile are really hostile.

Which is a real thing in canon. Bajor's application was put in jeopardy when they briefly reinstated a caste system, which violated Federation equality rules.

In other words, the threats worked. All he did was invite worse the next time.

Apartment superintendent.

Best: Free rent and utilities on top of a full time wage.

Worst: Finding people dead.

I am an apartment building manager. Once, years ago, I was brought in to clean up after another manager who had quit/been fired for... let's just call it incompetence.

Anyway, there was a unit in the building that was occupied by a guy I never met or even saw, and the rent was months overdue. So I followed the required legal procedure to declare the unit abandoned. I spoke to neighbors. I posted notices, etc. Eventually, the unit was legally declared abandoned and I started the task of clearing out any property left behind.

The unit was very neat and tidy and full of nice stuff. Not the usual state of a rental that someone abandoned, and this should have tipped me off. But it didn't, and so I had everything hauled away. Furniture, electronics, clothes, the lot.

Then after 6 months I moved on to a different building. Later, I learned that the person who lived there was on active duty in the military, and that's why no one had seen them for months. Apparently, a neighbor had been entrusted to pay the rent but they had just kept the money for themselves, and lied to me when I inquired about the neighbor's whereabouts.

So, this poor guy comes back from overseas military service to discover that not only has he lost his apartment but also everything in it. And since I had followed the legal procedure, no law was broken (by me.)
