    Of course, it's not an entirely unreasonable question to ask, and if they were asking it seriously, it could lead to some self-reflection and improvement.

    For example, maybe people are trying to assassinate Trump because he's made it clear that he approves of assassination as a political tool, and he's also made it clear that he is a worthless piece of slime. Maybe Harris just isn't quite bad enough to rise to the level of murder to a bunch off morons.

    Also Harris hasn't really disappointed anyone. I don't think anyone who plans on voting for her believes she's the second coming of Christ or any bullshit like that.

    However Trump is not leading a political movement. He's leading a cult. When you find out your god is just some asshole, you might snap.

I don't know what it cost them to process the checks, but it wasn't all that inconvenient for me to do.

    Whenever anyone talks about how high interest rates are now, I remember when my wife and I bought our house in 1997. We were pre-approved for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 7.5%, and we were told to take it.

    I'd say you earned them as part of the agreed compensation in exchange for your work. That way you also cover circumstances where there's no union, and no government requirement, but the employer still offers PTO to be competitive with other employers. Which theoretically could also be driven by other people's unions or governments, but then that would be indirect.

    Besides which, regardless of how the arrangement came to be, you earned your PTO.

    You seem to have misread the original post. It didn't say anything about pretending he isn't a candidate. What it said was:

    Can we stop pretending like it's ok for this guy to be running for president?

    Emphasis mine

    So, poster was suggesting that it's wrong for us to pretend that it is reasonable for a corrupt, criminal wanna-be fascist dictator running for president.

    I kind of agree. It's not something we should consider ok. However, it is par for the course.

    This happened to someone I worked with years ago. Not in a cubicle, but in a locked basement office. I was his supervisor.

    He died in the office on a Friday evening. He had taken off work the following Monday and Tuesday because he was going to do some work on his house.

    His brother was supposed to meet him on the Saturday, but he never showed up. By Wednesday, the police were involved, and they called me to ask me to see if he was in the office.

    I worked in a different building a few blocks away, so I headed over.

    I didn't have a key to get in his office, but there happened to be a ladder, so I climbed up and popped out the ceiling tiles to look over the wall.

    He was a strange, troubled guy but very kind.

When I visited as a kid, you'd walk through the castle and ooh and aah at the mosaic. I've wanted to see the mosaic again for years, and it was always closed.

    Former Disney Imagineer says theme parks now more stressful, less fun for families www.foxbusiness.com

    Where has this guy been? When my wife and I went to Disney World in 1996, we planned nothing in advance. We found ourselves waiting in massive lines for rides and spending hours waiting for tables in restaurants. We realized we screwed up and we had to do better. That was 27 years ago. Since then, we had kids and raised them to adulthood. Every trip after that we scheduled reservations in advance. Every morning we wake up, we know what park we are going to. We spend about 20 minutes every day we are there planning that day's activities, and we roll with whatever changes we encounter. I don't understand how having a plan in place in advance of your vacation somehow makes it more stressful. I've always thought it was easier to not have to wonder what we'll be doing and where we'll be going during our Disney trips. Are there really people who insist on just showing up with no plan and then blame Disney when they are stressed? Also, it seems like most of the Disney criticism I see is coming from Fox news in some form or another. Is that just my news feed, or is it an extension of the culture war that the right is trying to foment?

    What's your favorite Disney World Restaurant, and what is it about that restaurant that makes it your favorite? Without any deep thought, the first one that popped into my mind was Narcoossee's. The food is amazing, and there's a great view of fireworks if you're there in the evening. When my wife and I went to WDW after she graduated from school (1996, I think?), we stayed on property at the Grand Floridian. It was my first time staying in a Disney resort. We arrived too early to check in, so we went to Narcoossee's for lunch. The last time we went to WDW (2021), we took our adult children with us, and had a wonderful dinner with everyone together at Narcoossee's.

I'm not sure if it's always the same post it takes me to. I'll have to try to remember to actually note where it's taking me. If I go back, it takes me back to where I was, and the post title indicates it has been opened, but if I tap it again, it takes me to the correct post.
