Evangelicals also have this idea that supporting Israel is what has lead to American prosperity. Several passages in Genesis mention the blessing and cursing of others in relation to Israel. Obviously it is talking about the person named "Israel" but, because it is religious, people extrapolate a shit ton more meaning that exists on paper.
EDIT: made easier to read

Trump argues in court he can't be disqualified for the Presidency by violating the Constitution, because he.. *checks notes* ...never swore an oath to support the Constitution when he was President.
I'm sure there wasn't an event where the "largest crowd ever in attendance" could have witnessed such a thing.

“Mind-blowing”: Legal experts warn that lawyer’s incredible “screw-up” is “very ominous” for Trump | Salon.com

Trump facing bench trial because "nobody asked for" a jury trial, judge says.Trump complained about "not being allowed to have a jury" in his last interview of the day. I fully expect all the right wing media sources to throw a fit now while ignoring the fact his lawyer screwed up.

The vote would likely fail in the house, despite the GOP having a slight advantage in pure numbers. And yeah, if the impeachment did succeed in the House, the trial in the Senate may only get 30 or so Republicans to vote to convict.
I think it depends on how the issue looks in the polls. If GOP voters want it overwhelmingly then they will likely vote unanimously. Election season is right around the corner after all.

I recall being taught that the bombs weren't necessary but where used to save American lives that would have been lost in a direct invasion of Japan.
A hint of truth within what is likely propaganda.

You nailed it here. Also, I'm still on the waiting list for my intensive out patient care so I'm just staying positive, patient, and strong. I absolutely still see my therapist and unfortunately he is big time conservative but he has really helped me out with my medications.
But I think I need to move on from him which isn't easy because central Pennsylvania is extremely difficult to get psychiatric care.
On the whole, my parents and I try to stay away from topics that trip us up. Great post and thank you.
Might I suggest the Secular Therapy Project?
Secular Therapy Project
WWW.SECULARTHERAPY.ORGWhile they are associated with an atheist organization (which based on what you said could help as well but I don't know enough) their primary goal is to help people find therapists that use science rather than religious or political views when practicing. There are many therapists out there that get the degree then ignore what they learned in favor of their own biases or don't have a degree at all in the field.

GN made a video about dropping $250,000 into testing equipment and then three weeks later the LTT story dropped that directly attacked their testing and new lab.
This feels more like a power move than anything else. That said, LTT was never a top tier for hardware reviews and did need a reality check. Especially if they do intend to get much more specialized.

It's worth keeping in mind that shit like this happens much more often than someone decides to make it up or embellish it. When I fired someone, they posted online about how they were fired after they told their manager they had a cancer diagnosis, something about which I was not told and had no idea about.
That said...
I've been in rooms with HR reps when they tell people that someone's harassment complaint could hurt someone's career / hurt their feelings / cause retaliation, etc. I had an HR department fuck up a 401k rollover after our company got acquired, the IRS thought that my rollover was an early cashout and sent me a bill for $50K. When I talked to my HR department about it their advice boiled down to "maybe file your taxes fraudulently so the IRS doesn't consider this as income, it would be inconvenient to correct this mistake for you," an issue that took literal years to resolve. I've heard someone say, "so and so is a huge fucking cunt" after leaving so and so's office and everyone who pointed that out to HR was told the person who said it was just blowing off steam and nothing happened. Someone got burned by Outlook autocomplete and accidentally sent a meme that featured someone's ballsack in the picture to the wrong person, the person on the receiving got told that it was just an accident and to lighten up. I have hired employees and had them entered into the system with the wrong job title and pay. I hired someone, had them show up, and on their first day they were told there were budget issues and the position they would be filling didn't exist anymore and maybe they could ask their old job if they could go back. I've been part of job screening meetings where people straight up say that they won't hire someone because they're too old or that they mentioned that they had just had a kid at some point during the interview process.
Absolutely nothing was said in there seems outlandish to me at all. This shit happens all the time. ALL THE TIME.
HR exists solely to protect the company so nothing you say about them is exactly groundbreaking.
Yes assholes exist in companies. Incompetent people exist as well. The funny thing is that an incompetent person isn't personally targeting someone. You have to figure out if it is an asshole or someone that is just incompetent causing the problems. Or the person complaining could have an chip on their shoulder and can't seem to leave defense mode. As a result they are combative and cause problems as well.
Yes, corporate bullshit happens all the time. Never said it didn't. I'm just pulling from personal experience and could be completely wrong.
Comments like the one below this throw up a huge red flag to me because she is adding context that simply doesn't exist within the post. It literally is an emotional embellishment of what Linus actually said. How do we know this isn't something she happened to do on the job as well?
"And if you read it, it pretty much says 'hehe no one has come out against us, therefore we have done no wrong'"
If Linus actually hadn't heard her complaints and they hadn't been reported in the news then he is completely correct in what he said in the post she quoted.
There literally are people that get into a rut when they get slighted or in trouble and read into EVERYTHING in a negative light. I have been there and I have worked directly with those people. The smallest things seem like direct attacks when in reality they are just ignorant or have a personal beef themselves. These people tend to be type-a individuals that seem to never get there way.
I am not swayed by emotional appeals. While her claims need to be taken seriously we also need to take a step back for a second and actually analyze what we can before burning anyone at the stake. Who knows, perhaps the third party will come back with the goods and heads will roll. Maybe their HR people will do what they are trained to do and go into full protection mode. Hard to tell or even know. That is what makes these situations so incredibly stupid on the outside. Easy to take sides but not very easy to justify the side you are on with actual evidence since it usually isn't available publicly.

The Madison thing could be huge but her write up feels a lot like the crazy crap I would get as a union leader. I would get the craziest accusations about the company (they are doing this to me on purpose!) and random interpretations about contracts and such. These types of people do exist and that must be kept in mind.
With that said, I doubt everything she said is on that level. The harassment stuff could definitely exist. I just find that a chunk of the write-up could easily fall under the misinterpretation/victim umbrella. It could be very easy to be distracted when reading contracts, employee handbooks, etc right after your brother died. Not to mention the stress of moving away from friends and family immediately after such an event as well.
Without information we have no way to really know. Hell, she very well could have been an absolute mess to work with or actually was targeted for various reasons. Immediately coming to a conclusion based on her write-up would be the wrong move.
LTT did say they would publish the results of a third party investigation on the Madison thing. Who knows if they actually will or if it will be accurate.

Guess my move to NC will be sort of important. Hopefully I can help vote some of the batshit crazy out but I don't have any expectations on the local front.

This reminds me of the dopey naming convention for movie file containers in digital cinemaPussInBoots2_FTR-6-2D_S_EN-XX-CCAP_US-PG-INT-TD_51-HI-VI_2K_UP_20221028_PXB_SMPTE_OV
It is odd to me that over 10 years since the introduction of the naming scheme that none of the manufacturers have created a way for the servers to present that in a more easily read format. Some even truncate the back half of the names, the part that actually describes the particulars of the formatting 😂Sadly NOTAMS aren't necessarily standard. Lots of the shorthand is but every once in a while you get some weird stuff that a regex script would fail at. Probably the same issue you have when they truncate

In the digital age there is literally no excuse for this mess. Software has helped with filtering out what we need but it isn't perfect. Especially when a NOTAM goes off script.

WSJ News Exclusive | U.S. Altered Himars Rocket Launchers to Keep Ukraine From Firing Missiles Into Russia
WWW.WSJ.COMExperts debate whether long-range missiles for Ukraine would deter Putin or widen warBut the summary here is that Ukraine isn't getting ATACAMS because the launchers have been changed (somehow) to prevent them from fitting the missiles.
Honestly it could be the quickest way to end the war. Give Ukraine long range missiles with a stipulation that they can only hit military targets. If trust is an issue then provide them slowly rather than in bulk.
Russia seems to be a place that needs a reality check in order to get them to back off. As long as their people believe the war is contained they have no reason to doubt the propaganda. Blow up a ton of airplanes in their back yard and people will notice.

More the nature of the current job market. I was on strike when Obama was president and his Department of Labor helped get us back to work but the contract was a mixed bag. Pensions gone for new hires, higher health care costs, etc. I never really ran the numbers but I figured if you were single and didn't use your health care you were good but having family health care and using it probably puts you in a hole.
We are a one party state. The capitalist party. It's just one of them wants to probably send minorities to death camps and the other is gonna be upset about the death camps but not stop them.
I'm just saying that having more favorable people in office can provide for better contracts. Do you think a McCain or Romney controlled DoL would have resulted in the same quality of contract?
I know in the case of Trump the rail workers would have been screwed. He has a history of union busting and putting anti-labor individuals into power.

“Most Union Supporting President”.
To be fair, had Trump been in office the National Mediation Board would be full of his anti-labor cronies since they are appointed by the president. The railroads would still be in negotiations with less leverage than they had leading up to this point. I honestly do believe they got a better deal because Biden was the president rather than Trump.
Delta Air Line pilots just got a new deal that really blows the other airlines out of the water. 34% pay raise over 4 years among other benefits. A strike vote with a labor favoring NMB can be some good leverage. Negotiations were very slow till the strike vote at Delta. 2 months later there is a deal.

Being a person that works at a union job that falls under the Railroad Labor Act I am not pleased with this at all. This directly undermines the biggest tool a union has. If they want to modify the RLA to be less of an impact on the economy but still have the same impact on the players then I wouldn't mind that as much. Taxing relevant revenue/pay at 100% could be a start. Loading up trains and being unable to pay for expenses would have a similar outcome as a full on strike.

Measles rises globally amid vaccination crash; WHO and CDC sound the alarm
in The Political Re-Education Camp
Posted
Honestly if it is localized to your family there could be something genetic there, or it could just be bad timing with other issues popping up. Would be interesting to find out. Ultimately not everyone is able to take the vaccine. Hence the reason those that can should take the vaccine.
Ultimately some people will have issues with this specific vaccination. The problem is that many conservative entities have taken their momentum from the covid vaccine stuff and applied it to other vaccines. Measles is one. HPV is another. Honestly it is really stupid.
Something interesting for me is that my initial vaccinations for covid went fine but my boosters gave me a day of fatigue and fever. Odd.
