Remember when ikes that this "scandal" would torpedo Warren's career?

Just found out Adam Baldwin ('Animal Mother' from Full Metal Jacket) is a full metal deplorable fml

I always thought it was weird when places gavevadults their birthdays off or people took that day off solely because it is their birthday.

In my adult life I would say about ten percent of birthday celebrations I have participated in for friends and family where actually on the specific date but instead one that is logistically more favorable. Also usually not scheduled during the day unless the bounce house and clowns had discount day rates.

Yeah my experience in the office space with drones is it is horribly inefficient for anyone who does not have a job dependent on outputting things that are closely tracked and based on high levels of efficicacy.

The typical worker probably gets about one hour of real work done in a shift and an all star might get all the way to two hours of work done.

People collevtively drag down expectations over time so what is required to keep their job gets lowered to a level that it takes almost no time in a day to keep up and most of the time is spent screwing around and socializing.

There are obviously some exceptions to this but the reality is in most cases people will drag down expectations and then do the minimum to meet them.

Personally I like to work non stop in chunks with no real breaks so if I had a lot to do I might work from 6am-2pm non stop then take a late lunch. I would have zero motivation after lunch to do much more as I was usually wore out for the day.

That being said I have worked for myself for the last 17 years and I can work obscene hours in a given day and week, and at other times I might be able to work very little for several days. Certainly fits better with my demeanor.

I absolutely think the forty hour office work week m-f is one of the least efficient set ups we could have. I think shortening total hours worked in a year with the same or greater compensation while increasing the expectation for output and performance would be significantly better.

this report is a bit of wtf

https://www.thedailybeast.com/report...h-maria-butina

ex NRA pres's wife tried to pay Maria Butina 1M to acquire a **** ton of russian jet fuel. More than they output in a month **** ton of jet fuel. Got reported to the FBI because everyone involved had no f'ing clue what they were doing so they just assumed it was some illegal scam.

Also the seahawks owner gave republicans 100k.

I always assume Seahawk haters are deplorable filth anyway so this will make them happy.

How is Seahawk Hater even a thing? Nobody cares about them enough to hate them.

The emotion that runs through this article is dispair

If you're a foreigner that has free college enjoy the read.

So lucky I graduated in '92 before college costs went nuts. I owed about $10k after college and still didn't pay it off until I was 38.

Watch until the end.

I sort of assume every NFL owner is writing huge checks to the GOP.

FYP

Thanks!

re that video

****

This is a sad story, but not that sad. Dude ran bad and did dumb **** and will still come out better than his parents.

Yawn. You guys need to work on your ability to entertain me. Thanks. Bye.

So tell me huehecotyl what number of posters are allowed to respond to this? 2? 3?

#2, I should be safe.

It wasn't very funny.

I blew air out of my nose slightly harder than normal when it got to "please don't ask me about Trump"

While mediocre, that video showed way more of a sense of humor than any political ad I've ever seen. Low bar

Yeah, I just spent 20 min on YouTube trying to find a funnier ad (intentionally funny) and couldn't.

As with most things hate & sportsball, it's their fans who are actually hated, not the franchise itself.
