Spectrum Call Center in Charlotte, NC Reportedly Provided Fried Chicken and Watermelon to Employees for Juneteenth ( thencbeat.com )

“We want to acknowledge some feedback received regarding our Juneteenth celebration,” Pezzuto said in his letter obtained by The North Carolina Beat. “Although our intent was to celebrate this nationally recognized day, some of you voiced your concerns regarding the associated food choices.”...

North Carolina needs to stick to vinegar bbq, moonpies, and cherry flavored sodas. Let Georgia and South Carolina handle the chicken

cmbabul ,

Sustained, that was out of line and hyperbolic, although I stand by the NC vinegar bbq style is the good style from that state

The NFL is as far from a benevolent organization as I am from Henry Cavill in the looks department, but it’s funny as hell to me that Elon thought he could strong arm the National Football League and the egotistical billionaires that own all the teams

Google would likely be the subject of several lawsuits from other companies big enough to damages them if they just suddenly pulled the plug on Drive without an off ramp time. So even if one was worried, they’d have to have time to move the files somewhere else.

Dude I’ve been getting those vibes since it became apparent Trump couldn’t be kept from becoming the GOP nominee

cmbabul ,

I’ve no clue how Robert and Sofie keep finding folks like Garrison(Gare? I can’t tell if they decided to stick with that name or not), James, and Ed but they’re batting 1000

cmbabul ,

Ten years? My dude, he’ll write a book about his “walk through the valley of the shadow of death and redemption through the grace of Christ” and publish it next year

cmbabul ,

I’m also extremely partial to Treasure Island and Christmas Carol. But I pretty much love everything Muppets

cmbabul ,

Oh yeah I totally get you, and I don’t hate Muppets in Space but I do consider it weakest of the non-Sesame Street muppet movies(which are fine I just only remember the Big Bird ones). Hell I really enjoyed going to the Jason Seagals The Muppets

‘Will I ever retire?’: millennials wonder what’s on the other side of middle age ( www.theguardian.com )

Claire*, 42, was always told: “Follow your dreams and the money will follow.” So that’s what she did. At 24, she opened a retail store with a friend in downtown Ottawa, Canada. She’d managed to save enough from a part-time government job during university to start the business without taking out a loan....

cmbabul ,

Goddamn right, I thought the quarter was rough, I was wrong

cmbabul ,

I’m refusing to look him up because I don’t want to be sad if he’s gone crazy recently. But I love Mark Summers, he just seemed like a good dude, I know that’s his job but he did it really well

cmbabul ,

Thank you for doing the leg work! I’m very glad to hear he’s evidently a decent man

cmbabul ,

I’m increasing suspicious is that the reason marijuana is being rescheduled is that someone finally convinced the brass that they are talent limited in the IT world because of the large percentage of IT pros that smoke

cmbabul ,

I agree it’s probably not the number one reason someone would turn down one of those jobs. But anyone that’s on the fence might be swayed

cmbabul ,

Pretty much, they’ll all eventually turn on each other for not being Christian enough but they’ll keep it together long enough to destroy the lives of everyone else

cmbabul ,

I’m a systems analyst, I had to get really fucking good at assessing the stupidity and dishonesty of other people because I have to write documentation for people that couldn’t tell the differences between windows 10, windows 11, macOS, Linux, and Android. Not tell you the difference, tell the difference at all. But they tell you they worked with one of them for ten years starting in 01

cmbabul ,

I know he’s older but I’m not ready for Gandalf/Magneto to depart from us. Hope Sir Ian gets well soon

cmbabul ,

Diogenes continues to be based af

cmbabul ,

Pretty much all the Greeks were aggressively gay unless I’m forgetting something, been a hot minute since I took a classics course

cmbabul ,

That’s at minimum bi. I didn’t mean in the since of identifying as gay

cmbabul ,

I keep thinking there’s no way the top brass of the GOP and the DNC will be around next time, and we’ll really be able to fix shit then. I’m always wrong, but Joe, Mitch, and Trump all see to be showing their age more than usual for my lifetime(I was too young to remember Reagan’s Alzheimer’s), Nancy might still be around but she seems to be at least kinda taking a step back.

cmbabul ,

I’m not giving them this W, Bin Laden is the most influential single actor here, there were many more who laid the ground work(the John Birch society, the federalist society, George Lincoln Rockwell, William Luther Pierce, Roger Stone, Murdoch, Limbaugh, and the Koch’s come to mind) but 9/11 was the poison pill that broke the country

cmbabul ,

We united and circled the wagons, everyone that wasn’t with America was against America, that’s what 9/11 did, it gave a spark to an already existing powder keg of latent fascism in the subconscious of America. It destroyed a sense of invincibility that had been growing inside our collective culture, that the struggles were behind us and we’d always be safe, the fear and sense of uncertainty it brought thoroughly cooked the brains of so many Americans that we started distrusting everything and backing into isolation.

Bin Laden won because his goal was to make America bleed, to prove it was vulnerable to its own people, which would and has lead to the place we now stand

cmbabul ,

I read that half in his actual voice and half in Jon Stewart’s impression of W

cmbabul ,

Can we please just make Congress into pro wrestling, it’s not like it’s not already some carny bullshit and we’ll make sure Vince stays away from it

cmbabul ,

He needs to be hanged for his crimes

cmbabul ,

Im actually gonna double down cause in this sort of instance i disagree, Trump needs the Mussolini treatment because that’s who he really is

cmbabul ,

Oh for sure, not in the ‘hang mike pence’ way, but in my view he’s committed acts judicially worthy of hanging.

cmbabul ,

Hanging means his death shit will be in full view, which will affect his followers final view of him. Otherwise I agree with you for say, if Kissinger ever saw justice

cmbabul ,

See I would have agreed with you just a few years back, the fear of a martyr is that it will radicalize their followers. I don’t think that applies here because in their eyes he’s already surpassed martyr status

cmbabul ,

This sincerely might be the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen, I don’t even have words anymore

cmbabul ,

Hate and cruelty age your face, I don’t have research to prove that beyond looking at Kissinger vs Mr Rogers at the end of their lives.

Florida soaked with epic rainstorms: Yep, it's climate change ( www.salon.com )

Days after being pummeled with eight inches of rainfall in only just hours — the kind of extreme downpour that supposedly occurs once every 500 years — South Florida continues to be deluged with historic storms and flooding....

cmbabul ,

We keep having those, it’s already a lie by virtue of it happing more than once in the past few years.

cmbabul ,

Ok hear me out, we let the GOP fight big tech over lesbian AI, whoever wins gives us one less big problem to deal with, we’d lose out on sapphic robot love but the upsides are huge

cmbabul ,

Gulf Shores will be long gone by then too, it’s gonna be some new beach near fucking Dothan

cmbabul ,

Thank you! We may eventually have to but revolutions do not have certain outcomes and we face a second problem that in general will require a mechanism for global cooperation which is hard to do when the state with the military, cultural, and economic influence the US currently has plunges into chaos

cmbabul ,

This is a weird question for me, I’m from the American southeast, I remember having fall when I was a young man and it was wonderful, but those years weren’t common, the seasons I knew were hot n humid and winter(which was often hotter and humider than it should’ve been). Now I’m in the PNW and I think summer is far and away my favorite, although fall is still superb

cmbabul ,

I’m not particularly hopeful about that

cmbabul ,

Financiers and nutmeg? Wait that’s the same too

cmbabul ,

Coca-Cola is an evil company. But it’s still fucking crazy to me that the company became so successful that it’s product at one point was the most recognizable/understood word in the world behind OK is just selling bubbly sugar water at an absurd markup.

I also have complicated feelings about their old antique merch because I know it’s effectively propaganda, but I think it looks really cool and my grandmother had a lot of it around her house

cmbabul ,

I’m from Atlanta, trust me I know all the terribleness, doesn’t change that I think it aesthetically looks cool and it’s tied to my memory of a nice lady I never really got to know because Alzheimer’s

cmbabul ,

The fucking nazis actually come to mind, Hugo Boss knows how to cut fabric

Edit: to be clear I’m not saying wearing SS uniforms would be acceptable but I also think there’s a bit of space between that and having an antique coke machine for the look

cmbabul ,

Eh everything is political in one way or the other, but you can appreciate the craftsmanship that workers put into building or designing something like a coke machine or antique phone without validating Coca-Cola or AT&T(formerly Bell along with every other phone company) as good forces.

They influenced and defined parts of our culture for good or ill, I myself tend to think it’s the latter in the macro sense, but it’s still interesting as a piece of history that someone imagined, someone else built, and countless other people used. It’s not like confederate statues or something else akin to monuments which were purposefully put in place to try and define and frame history, they are parts of our living history and that will always be kinda cool.

cmbabul ,

Stardew valley could bring you hundreds of hours if you already have something to play on

cmbabul ,

The 2nd itself isn’t even the problem, it’s that it isn’t in any actuality followed. It explicitly says “well regulated militia”. I’m an armed leftist but nothing about US firearms is well regulated

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are surging "faster than ever" to beyond anything humans ever experienced, officials say ( www.cbsnews.com )

One of the major drivers of the exceptional heat building within Earth's atmosphere has reached levels beyond anything humans have ever experienced, officials announced on Thursday. Carbon dioxide, the gas that accounts for the majority of global warming caused by human activities, is accumulating "faster than ever,"...

cmbabul ,

Y’all are all forgetting something really important, a lot of people really wanted to make a lot of money. So it’s totally cool, they’ll definitely figure that problem out in the future

cmbabul ,

This might be one of the few things he can’t trick his cult into walking away from, they booed him over it in the past, the only other thing I think would turn them off of him is if he straight up said “Fuck Jesus” or “God is a superstition” in a rally speech to them.

cmbabul ,

This is interesting to me because for me what you just described is Waffle House, Dennys and IHOP are only for roadtrips where you somehow have no other choices
