Its taken as a basic fact in the states (even by democrats / centrists) that the Soviet Union was brought down by eternal God Emperor Reagan. That's going to be hard to change.

It changes once most voters weren't alive during it and therefore they don't give a poo poo. No one today gives a poo poo about which party Lincoln was in or what FDR did because they weren't alive and learning about poo poo someone else experienced is boring.

Maybe stop freaking out and assuming that if a reporter says on twitter that there is another name to report it has to be a HUGE BIG DEAL.

Lol, I'm not freaking out. It's just that they figured a gimmick and are wearing it out real quick. There's literally no need to announce this kind of stuff before it's ready to come out. It's the Early Access of news.

On the other hand the state, county, and city governments have been doing everything possible to put it on the shelves and keep it on the shelves. Including letting some of the dispensaries do distribution when no liquor companies signed up to do it. Then found a way for them to keep distributing when the liquor companies sued to prevent sales based on the fact that they didn't claim their distribution monopoly. So that's been a pleasant surprise.

Jesus pugfucking Christ. Someone in my office just mentioned Net Neutrality... Not even anything about it aside from telling his friend he had sent off a letter against the repeal.

The new guy here ran over and just exploded into angry shouting, calling everyone idiots, saying Net Neutrality is just a way for the government to take control, etc. Like, proper angry yelling, at a thing he just overheard from a nearby conversation. I only walked in at the end, but is sounds like everyone there thought he was about to get violent.

This is the second time he's flipped out about that this week, though the first was just a quick snap rather than a full-on tantrum. This is a tech company, so it's definitely an issue that's bound to come up.

Do you have an Air Miles Card?

quote:

Samochornov seemed to dislike Republicans like Trump on social media. In 2013, he shared a meme about restarting America in "safe mode," with free health care and without guns. In another post, he shared a Rachel Maddow post critical of Karl Rove.

Samochornov is bound by professional conduct not to talk publicly about discussions with clients. The American Translators Association lists in its code of ethics and professional practice that interpreters' ethical and professional duty to "hold in confidence any privileged and/or confidential information entrusted to us in the course of our work."

I bet he'd be quite candid if called to testify in front of the Senate committee though. I don't think there's a legal privilege for translators (like lawyers and doctors) is there?

You should report that guy to HR. Even if he busted in and yelled angrily about why we should keep Net Neutrality, that's bad news bears.
