I have a buddy that's about to pop the question to his partner, and the topic of asking the father for permission came up, and it's just so fucking dumb. I didn't ask my father in law, but if I did and he said no, I would just laugh and tell him his opinion doesn't actually matter, and maybe I'd next see him at the wedding for the last time.

True in theory, but in practice, those are pretty much universally accepted curse words. I personally swear all of the time when I know the audience I'm around, and hear people swearing from across my office, so culturally it's not a thing where I work or especially my previous manufacturing job. In places that have outside customers or patients, the expectation is generally different and varying levels of masking those outbursts is required, sometimes even saying things like "crap"is too much.

Ultrawide 3440x1440 with 120+ refresh. I prefer refresh over pixel density, but love ultrawides.

That's one of my favorites to bring up to parents of daughters that are Trump supporters. "So you support a man that forcibly raped a woman and wants to know they schedule and status off your daughter's vagina all of the time?" Make it personal because most won't change until it affects them.

Until it's escalated, and then it's definitely OPs problem. Most jobs have something about professionalism written is their handbook. The coworker will win that fight with hr every time.

Nope. I'm just giving some additional context referencing something I read yesterday. I would love to see these dirty fuckers arrested if they are in fact breaking the law. Ianal.

Somebody posted the text of the law the other day, and as dumb as it is, it's legally within the rights of states to deny federal monitoring of their polling sites. However, I do believe that if the feds have a warrant or whatever the equivalent document is, they can ignore the state's dissent. I'd like to think the people pulling the strings knew this was going to happen and prepared accordingly.

You never know when you'll find yourself in a position where there are 20 choices and you just can't decide.

Didn't be so hard on yourself, that was extremely useful.

100% and it takes a pretty shallow view to think otherwise.

Is the US uniquely racist compared to the rest of the world? I feel that answer is no, while also knowing that this place is fucked up at times.

Anecdotally, I've seen a good lot of houses with local Republican candidates that don't have Trump signs. Some only have Trump signs.

I had made a comment a while back about only seeing Trump signs outside of my Iowa community. Almost immediately after I said that, there were a good chuck of Democratic signs starting to pop up, which is way more than the one or two I had seen previously.

I don't know that I've seen crazy amounts of flipping or anything like that, but it was a noticeable difference that I wasn't specifically looking for.
