According to the graph there were fewer US troops deployed in Iraq during the last years of Obama's presidency than there are now.
So Bush started the war in Iraq and Obama ended the war in Iraq?
Sorry, but this graph just doesn't fit with the both sides forever war narrative.
Was I supposed to be taking comedians seriously?
Apparently Trump takes them seriously and sees them as a threat. Or maybe they just hurt his feelings.
Just had a moth inside, kinda annoying. Got a box to try to catch him but just so happened the next time I heard him fluttering about he was right by the door. So only had to open the door to and swish him out.
Moth friend is free!
I don't kill things unless they deserve it... or if they taste good.
Their base? It's at least equally cool to the leftist base to hate Jews now.
Nationalists and socialists coming together in their shared hatred of Jews... how original.
Yeah there have been many times already where it's been "they have to get that he's scamming them now, right?"
But they always go back and say "please sir, can we have some more?"
They're already trying to work out that it's all Pam Bondi's fault. Trump is just getting bad advice, etc.
The poll says 46% of Republicans and 42% of Democrats outside of New York don't have an opinion on a guy running to be Mayor of New York.
Clickbaitey article headline implies not having an opinion on a politician running for mayor in another city means the same as being unfavorable towards that politician. Yes he has a low favorable number but a massive "no opinion" number because should people give a shit about a politician in another city?
New Yorkers may like to to think they're the center of the world, but shockingly over 40% of people outside of New York probably don't know who this guy is because why should they?
The "fight fire with fire" marketing campaign is getting a lot of engagement so we're releasing the product anyway.
It's one soda, Michael. What could it cost? 20 dollars?
I think it has more to do with lazy management. Before WFH their job was basically just making sure the employees were sitting at their desks at a specific time and didn't leave until after a specific time. So 9am, you're sitting at your desk, at 5pm you're sitting at your desk then they've done their job for the day.
WFH means they need to know that you're actually working. So they have to know what you do (many bosses don't actually know what their employees do) and have some way to measure that you're doing that thing in a reasonable amount of time. It's actually their job to do this even if you're in the office, but it's easier to just make sure you're in a location where work is the only thing you can do and assume you're doing work because there's nothing else to do.
Also bosses are hesitant to verbally abuse employees over video chat as that can easily be recorded. RTO solves problems for managers that like to yell at their employees.
But they can't say "we're lazy and we want to be able to yell at you" so they come up with other reasons.
Sure, sometimes the real estate thing can be a factor when a company got massive tax breaks from the government under the promise of that the new Amazooglesoft "campus" will be a big economic driver for a city with a bunch of cities competing to give the biggest tax breaks to entice those companies to go there. The governments that gave those incentives will probably take them away (they should, those companies should be paying taxes) because there actually hasn't been economic stimulus for the neighbourhoods of those offices spaces because of WFH. So in those cases you have to go to a place so you can buy lunch (and maybe go shopping after work) so your company can still get tax breaks.
But mostly it's just lazy managers.
When I was on vacation in Peru, after hiking around for the day I turned on the CRT in my room and they were showing Robocop... dubbed in spanish.
You have not experienced Robocop until you've seen it in it's original Spanish.
Release the Thompson files!
And by that I mean: Promise to release the files for years and then decide no one should be prosecuted and say "why is everyone still talking about that guy?"
Turns out he's an undocumented immigrant with a weird foreign sounding name (Kal El) and he was going around acting like he was an American by the name of Clark Kent. We can't have that!
