takes notes furiously

Yeah, not very Welsh-sounding at all. On the other hand, dude was born in Wales to a Welsh father, so as long as he is focused on helping Wales and the Welsh people, that’s what matters.

The truth is irrelevant to Trump and his sycophantic MAGAts.

Would you be okay with a porn website requiring a copy of your government identification and then turning your viewing data over to the government?

Do you trust the websites and government to not get breached or release data?

Or is this Mike Johnsons burner account and it’s not enough to know what porn his son is watching?

If your opponent follows no rules and utilizes violence against all who they consider their enemies, pacifism is complicity.

It would have been much more fitting to have the Israelis stay home and feature local members of the Jewish community and families of non-Jews who supported the community during the Nazi occupation.

Go crawl wherever you want, just not on my lawn!

I think they mean “government crackdown disguised as spontaneous counter demonstrations.”

I’m not anti-Semitic but I’m definitely becoming extremely anti-Israel.

I understand this. I was underemployed for a while, so I was doing tutoring American English online. Since I was working graves, my schedule meant I ended up with clients from SE Asia, China, Japan.

After a few months, I found better work and didn’t need to tutor as much. I cut my availability and was down to 2, then one.

The one I still tutor is a Filipina in nursing school. Most people, when they find that out, go straight to the “I’m a creep/She wants a green card” duality.

I get tired of explaining that she actually qualifies for permanent residency as soon as she gets her work visa. She doesn’t need me at all to come to the US to work.

There are plenty of legitimate organizations and agencies that help Filipino nurses get jobs and visas at minimal cost above the required fees.

She has mentioned that she’d prefer to live with me and would be open to a relationship with me, even though I am older…much older.

I leave that last bit out when talking to folks because it makes me sound like a creep. I totally get why people would think that.

On the other hand, an attractive, intelligent, hardworking, and fun younger woman is interested in me? It’s a challenge to say no to that.

We are probably better off not knowing.

What’s a “life”? Is this something I’m too poor to understand?

Where I work, most positions do not require a background check so we have a mix of people (men, women, trans, nonbinary) with criminal convictions, including sex offenders.

The only thing that matters is their behavior in the workplace. You get fired because of attendance or poor performance.

The biggest problem people at my workplace are the people who try to make someones past an issue.

Also, your statement that you “highly doubt that changed him” is very telling. Basically it shows that you are the one with the problem. Unless you have firsthand knowledge then you are trying to justify your negative feelings.

Maybe this last time changed them. Maybe they got help. Maybe they’re in therapy and are trying to change.

This person and your employer are under no obligation to do what you want when there is no justification other than your own personal judgement.

Raise shields! Incoming conservative warp core meltdown!

I said I’d vote for her as Prez and pretty much all of my coworkers (Trump suckers) nearly had heart attacks.

The bottom of the barrel, especially with conservatives, is like the TARDIS - impossibly larger on the inside than it appears from the outside.

“ACAB” doesn’t see skin color.

I had just sat down on the toilet when I saw this. I can’t urinate because my penis is hiding.

A Die Ärzte reference in the wild! I love this song…and a lot of their other ones. They even slip it into “Ich, am Strand” - Ich auf Demo: Nazis raus!

Without hesitation, yes.
