LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AS IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!
Carlson without Fox News is going to be the next Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly. Overnight he'll turn from The Number One Threat To Democracy into some easy to avoid jerkoff with a version of a talk radio show.

Just ask almost any former ESPN star. It turns out they weren't really there to see you all along.

I went to a evangelical wedding in rural sc last weekend. the service was thankfully short and my gf only knew the bride and one of the bridesmaid so we just peaced out early. Wedding sucked anyway; it was on May 5th so they had a (terrible) taco buffet and did margarita shots and miller lite.

Some of the groomsmen helped with the bar. they were nice enough. I had mentioned to someone that I was from asheville which to a lot of people in rural carolinas is full of filthy hippies smoking weed in churches or whatever. it has a ludicrous reputation.

One of the groomsmen joked to me "hey you know anyone in asheville that smokes weed?" look back on it now he was trying to make a joke and just figured I was from the area. Also i look like a republican when I dress up.

But I misheard him and didn't realize he as making a joke, so I joked back "no weed but I'm waiting for these shrooms to kick in."

for the rest of the time there the bridesmaids and groomsmen were very obviously whispering and pointing at me lol

I have no idea what "looking like a Republican" means, but I assume it's your thin blue line tattoo?

Also, a taco buffet at a wedding sounds fantastic. Don't be judgemental.

It's pretty telling that when I typed in "Good Doctor," one of the top hits was "Good Doctor transgender episode," which aired in 2018, jfc.

Bonus info, the actress in the episode is trans, which makes those scenes feel even worse.

Hopefully, but I don't think either of them had the pull with Congress that Tucker did, if he really did help McCarthy get Speaker like has been said recently, so I suspect that he'll stick around for a while yet.

I do agree that this isn't going to keep him on top, though. My dad watched Tucker pretty regularly, and I haven't heard him say poo poo about him being fired. He still watches Fox like nothing happened, and I don't think he's going to care about some Twitter podcast

I've seen handedness pushed as a metaphor fairly frequently when transphobes try to claim it's some woke agenda because more people are coming out as trans. They used to force kids to use their right hands even if they were lefty and when that stopped the percentage of left handed people went way up over time, but no one calls that some woke agenda. Same thing, trans people have always been around, it's just that it's only starting to become socially accepted (sort of) and the right is fighting back against it big time because they lost the culture war with gay marriage

As a sinistral goon I still get a poo poo ton of "wrong-handedness" whenever people learn I'm left-handed.

Also don't think that the ultra-conservative sect stopped trying to make kids right handed when they're growing up just because being left-handed is socially acceptable now. Of course there's the cultural aspect too: IIRC the old Middle Eastern concept of the left hand being used only for cleaning your rear end is still a thing.

No subtext, isn't it probably preferable to learn to be right-handed if at all possible since so much of society is set up with the assumption of right-handedness?

quote:

Owing to cultural and social pressures, many left-handed children were forced to write and perform other activities with their right hands. This conversion can cause multiple problems in the developing left-handed child, including learning disorders, dyslexia,[12] stuttering[13][14][15] and other speech disorders.[16]

Hah that’s pretty great


My day started with 6 hours of training (2 hour blocks separated out through the day) and I found out the first block is done so now I don’t have to do it tomorrow or Friday either



In one of the CRM trainings the trainer told a story about how one of her old direct reports once got hit by a car while on a motorcycle and wound up in the hospital for 3 months. Said during that time he was still the best at keeping his CRM info updated and being productive. She said she wanted all of us to be that diligent in updating the CRM. She was trying to be inspirational I guess but Everyone in the class was like lol no lady if I get hit by a car and I’m in the hospital for 3 months we’ll see you when I’m out.

Morning was going fine then literally the second before we're about to leave for school my 8-year-old announces she isn't going. This ends with me having to carry her out to the car without her shoes on. In the 30 minutes while I'm away dropping her off at school, the people who are supposed to turn on our sprinkler system for the arrive and leave because nobody is there to answer the door. To their credit, they were an hour and a half early. We do manage to reschedule for later in the day and we have three busted sprinkler heads that needed to be replaced.

Also I made cornbread.

welp

Coworker just told me that our company owner is thinking about suspending our draw if sales don't pick up soon, which at the rate things are going right now they are almost definitely not gonna do that.

My draw makes up my entire salary. I have not earned commission once in my entire time working at this place, and I've become convinced that doing so in my territory is basically impossible unless you're either a wizard or doing some sort of shady/illegal poo poo. I'm going on almost two months without a sale, and my coworker (only other salesperson in my territory) isn't making nearly enough profit for us to even hit our minimum quota for payroll. Forget saving our draw, at this rate my entire company branch might not survive past summer.

This workplace is now officially a doomed ship. I don't work for free, and I'm not working at a place where I can't expect to make a regular paycheck. I need to find a new job.
