Mastering the awkward silence is a very powerful tool. I am not kidding. If done right, people become uncomfortable and start to talk in order to fill the awkward silence. In those anxiety filled moments, people tend to overshare.

Long silence combined with providing minimal information is also an amazing negotiation tool. You’d be shocked how often and by how much people will give up ground when confronted with awkward silence.

No single administration has the ability to totally fuck up the country in the amount of time they have.

Women in need of reproductive health services in red states would like a word.

Tooth & Tail. Bite sized R^aTS

VMWare Workstation Pro is now free and I believe that it had GPU passthrough. Don’t take my word on that though. I haven’t used it in a few versions.

I thought it was The Onion.

Gameplay is good. Think of it as a third person Diablo/Hades looter. Solid AA title for a good price.

Don’t ask me about the story because in games like these I never pay attention.

I second Mint and I would add Pop!_OS by computer seller System76. They are both based on Ubuntu/Debian soif you ever need guides or downloads, anything for Ubuntu or Debian will work on Mint and Pop!_OS.

The scariest part of this movement for me is being targeted because somebody thought I was conservative. *shudder*

Ah. I was not aware.

I mean, I understand why it exists but…fuuuuuck.

I am over a thousand miles away. Otherwise I would have voted early.

My wife and I did our part. Now if USPS Express Mail would deliver our ballots, that would be great.

UPDATE:

So a better headline would be “Simulations show a high likelihood of political violence and another SCOTUS stolen election a la 2000”.

I am not dismissing Kamala Harris here but the Democrats could have pitted a cold cut sandwich against Trump and the race would be just as tight. This is a race between fascism and not.

I hope, if Harris wins, that he is forced to divest from SpaceX due to national security concerns, and that the subsidies on Tesla are abruptly pulled given its lack of innovation for years.

Abolish tipping. Make “gratuity” transactions illegal under IRS code so that the only way to “tip” is in cash. Overnight, the tipped staff will quit and the owners will be forced to pay a proper wage if they want to hire anyone.

Sometimes my company manages a project so well that we hit a performance bonus. I split that bonus amongst the members of that specific team, including prior contributors. I do not lower their salaries by twenty percent and expect the client’s bonus to offset the lower salary. If that would be craY for me to do, why isn’t it for restaurants.?
