I truly believe that among the most important qualities of leadership... are humility, orientation to authority, and self control. -Pence

Does he even realize? Does trolling require intent?

The goofy sadistic scenario you described would not be metaphysically impossible, but there would be all sorts of obvious benefits to not pursuing such a strategy. Meanwhile, a thousand cops each year get caught doing just that. And those are just the ones who get caught."

Guys I guess the market didn't exist pre CRA when sexual coercion was literally a fact of life for women in the workforce.

The key word is the first one in the encounter: "I".

Some people simply refuse to believe that anything happens anywhere else in the world except their own experiences. I think this is called egocentrism.

The military swears --- first --- to the Constitution.

I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

On Monday, I tried to deposit cash into my CU account from a PNC ATM. (Standard, part of same network. I mistakenly used my Capital One credit card to activate the machine. It took my money and gave me a receipt, but the recept said the transaction didn't go through.

After an hour at the branch and maybe 6 hours on the phone, they have both made clear that they're not helping. PNC because they want Cap One to file a dispute, Cap One won't file the dispute because they have no record of the transaction. I filed a complaint with the state AG, thank god I live in a blue state, the next step will prob be a small claims suit.

The phone people outrank the branch staff, but I did spend an hour in the branch arguing. They kept telling me to call the hotline.

I'm pretty sure the problem is neither of them have a procedure to handle this, so the hard part will be convincing the mid level staff to keep kicking it up until I find someone with actual discretion. Which is gonna be pretty high for huge banking corporations. I've already made it from the call center to corporate. Or file the lawsuit, I know PNCs legal department has the authority to write a check.

I guess that means when Jessup orders the code red, you've gotta do it.

Is that supposed to be a man marrying his slave?

Never seen that logo of a black bird (falcon?) before either.

I think the Tom and Sally are supposed to be Jefferson and Hemmings and the verb is supposed to be rape.

Claude Frollo had made him the bell ringer of Notre-Dame, and to give the great bell in marriage to Quasimodo was to give Juliet to Romeo.
