Worked with one a while back. She was trying to get out. Her whole family abandoned her. She finally went back and agreed to the arranged marriage temple leadership was demanding. Was immediately pregnant after the wedding. Forced to quit her job to be a stay at home mom.

Firmly believe such behavior should be in our modern concept of slavery.

Wait wait have I been eating bone in pizza this whole time?

Woof. Chicago feeling like Tulsa might be moderated a bit if you’re close to the lake.

Close to that in general though will suck. I’ve been through Tulsa and OKC in the summer and thanks no thanks.

One of the highest cities in the world. Average elevation is around 2200 meters/7300 ft.

It’s built in a valley. But that valley is in a mountain chain. Or I guess plateau is probably a better description than valley.

Keep meaning to get around to reading those.

If you did a TV series it could be like True Detective. Each season being a different timeframe. The Taken being the few reoccurring characters. But even then a character like Shifter could be portrayed by multiple actors.

Kid got caught beating his meat in the school library.

Lot of good ones in here. Only idea I can think of is The Black Company. Not specifically to follow Croakers story either. Could be about battles and drama of the past from the annals.

It does seem different. Hard to say exactly why with only using it every couple years. Wondering if there is more lag time for uploads.

We can blame you because voting is part of your duty living in a democracy.

Congratulations on being part of the problem

Then he fired his PR team not long after that. He pushed out all the people getting paid to help him not look like an idiot.

It’s just the Jack Welch playbook over and over. Even though people finally started to realize Jack was a fucking idiot and ruined GE.

He got rich. But fucked one of the most well known and respected companies in the world doing it.

It’s not terrible. I mentioned it mainly because getting through law school in the US costs about $200k. Becoming a lawyer is one of the most expensive fields to get into.

Public defenders make the list. Last figures I saw average salary is around $65k.

Depends on how much subsidization they’re getting

He fired his PR team a few years ago. That’s been the difference.

He said plenty of dumb shit prior with people cleaning it up. One of my favorites was probably 10 years ago now. He claimed Model 3 assembly line automation would move so fast they’d have to worry about wind resistance.

My friends and co-workers still laugh about that one now. It’s such an absurd “business” mentality of go fast = good. So go crazy fast = more good. With a technology that doesn’t exist and kinda doesn’t need to. It makes more sense to increase system capacity (multiple lines) when you’re chasing throughput like that. But what makes even more sense is accurately forecasting your production so you don’t have to slap a full car together in 30 minutes to keep up with demand.

You’re correct. We need to plant trees too. Cut fossil emissions asap. But even that likely won’t be enough. Figuring out carbon capture is a worthwhile endeavor.
