The fact that drug tests are normalized for jobs is fucking insane
  • That's usually about health insurance. Keeps their premiums down if they offer health as a benefit. Doesn't make it right, but it is not a morality thing on the firm's part.

    Trump vows to kill Asia trade deal being pursued by Biden if elected
  • Neither does protectionism. I'm not saying you're wrong, but isi policies that make imports expensive also hurt the working class. Overall free trade might be fine if it's combined with a more robust welfare state.

    Trump goes all in on Nazi rhetoric, and the media gives him another free pass
  • The media is avoiding it...like all the media cited in this post? Or the NY Times article today discussing many of the points in those articles? Or the OP article? I'm so tired of news outlets reporting on news outlets. The news isn't news, I want actual news about events.

    ‘Trump Is Again Confused’: Trump Mixes Up Who Is President During Speech
  • Almost 700 people have pleaded guilty or have been convicted for j6. Some of the leaders, like Tarrio, are going away for a very long time. Of course it takes a long time to bring a case against Trump himself, but the narrative that nobody's facing consequences is a little disingenuous at this point. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/30-months-jan-6-attack-capitol

    When the person you always knew was going to become a life coach achieves their final form
  • WTF is life coaching? Have a facebook acquaintance who did some class and calls herself one, after being a yoga instructor. Like--why would you take advice from a person of middling success? Is it just another MLM where people calling themselves life coaches teach other people to be life coaches so they can teach more life coaches?

  • He never had to take the stand in the first >place. He didn't even have to be in the courtroom.

    I thought he did have to take the stand, but didn't have to be there for the rest of the trial. AFAIK he's compelled to testify (or take the fifth, but he and the kids have to do one or the other).

    The Bible but DnD
  • Seriously though, why did Jesus curse that fig tree? He could be weirdly petty.

    BTW, myrrh had lots of uses besides embalming.

    Developing countries owe China at least $1.1 trillion – and the debts are due
  • Oof. I wonder how that will work in the case of infrastructure like roads and bridges--long term tolls? At some point it has to eat away at whatever good will the Chinese were trying to buy.

    Share your warm up and your stretches? This is knowledge I can be trusted with
  • I'm an old man, and do 5k a few times a week for context. Started doing a battery of dynamic stretches a few months back and I really love it. Gets me warm and adequately stretched, and I haven't pulled anything since I started this instead of traditional stretching.
