Thanks to President Trumps unmatched negotiating skills congress has finally drafted a bill that he is willing to put his name on.

*a couple days later* President Trump will reluctantly sign the garbage bill that Congress is bullying him into signing

How I Met Your Mother was inexplicable. They move to New York City, Marshall hasn't even passed the bar yet, Ted is an intro level architect, and they have this massive 2 bed room apartment.

they had an episode about how it wasn't actually a big apartment and it was just a storytelling convenience

i get the feeling the "he will sign the bill" statement was made without trump's consent to pressure him into signing it

The CEO of my old company, a dude named Marijn Dekkers, went to work for Bayer.

When the Indian government petitioned Bayer to make their new cancer drug more affordable, Dekkers made a public statement that "this drug isn't for Indians, it's for rich Westerners."

Sounds about right.

My old CEO launched a second, vanity sporting goods store because his other sporting goods store didn't focus on golf enough. He then poorly staffed up a corporate team that was not only supposed to split duties, be understaffed, but also have a completely different boutique premium image while using all the same product assets. Then he names this mother loving retailer like a laser tag pizza place. "Golf Galaxy." gently caress me.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. Palpatine: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. Palpatine: He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

my advice to you is that if you want to buy something from Dick's Sporting Goods, don't go to dicks.com. There aren't any sporting goods there
