The eggs I buy from the grocery store have shells that crack if I barely touch them and the yokes are always a super pale yellow but my neighbors chicken eggs are always thick as gently caress and i gotta thwunk em to get em to crack open and the yokes are a really dark yellow. Massive difference.

chickens fed on corn dont have as much iron in their diet as chickens that eat whatever non american factory farms use so the yolks are paler

Cry Havoc and let slip the Hogs of War

A snake hissed posted:

For all those quaking on the right at the sight of an ascendant Warren, rest easy. Warren’s no lefty. In fact, Warren was a registered Republican into her 40s. When it comes to ideology, Warren makes for a rotten heir to Kennedy.

“I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets. I think that is not true anymore,” Warren says. “I was a Republican at a time when I felt like there was a problem that the markets were under a lot more strain. It worried me whether or not the government played too activist a role.”

Did she vote for Ronald Reagan, who ushered in much of the financial deregulation which Warren has devoted her life to stopping? “I’m not going to talk about who I voted for,” she says.

Pretty much lines up with how Obama says that he's basically a 80s or 90s republican

like a dozen people have been harassed at my company for years by this boomer director that dozens of complaints have been filed on, but nothing is ever done

I had a consult with two law firms and was informed that the only legally actionable things in my southern state are discrimination against the federal EEOC categories like race or gender AND I have to prove a negative job outcome was a direct result of this. So punching walls, throwing chairs, screaming in faces and literal physical threats of violence are okay. I even have audio recordings of explicit threats of retaliation telling me not to talk to human resources and those are fine because there was never any actual provable retaliation.

The woman that was relentlessly sexually harassed and propositioned until she quit is out of luck because she didn't report it to the company and give them a chance to officially respond to the complaint so they are legally good there as well.

I tried to argue that I was passed over for a promotion for the woman that quit because the director wanted to gently caress her and explicitly told both of us it's because he wanted to see her at his desk every morning meeting instead of me but since she quit before the promotion went through that isn't a negative job action as no promotion ever occurred.

law definitely isn't for real people

law definitely isn't for real people

my story is

we filed our class action against our landlord (already infamous for being a huge piece of poo poo, he had actually just spent time in physical jail!!) in nyc, with the tenant friendliest judge in the city, in January of 2018. summary judgment granted wholly in our favor in mid 2021, appeal still not heard. it took them six months to even FILE the appeal, which for some reason they’re allowed. it’s been more than 5 years and it’s a trivial slam dunk fraud case.

for a long time the stick to discourage dilatory filing was a "punishing" 9% interest rate on any rent overages but lmfao this last two years that’s been downright affordable. five years timeframe of at least $1k per month for dozens of tenants which is rapidly ballooning and it will almost certainly never see a payout

the only awesome thing about the whole saga was the motherfucker's lawyer literally skipped town with a shitload of this guy's and other clients' escrow money hahaha
