Holy shit hahaha


But in a positive light. If these companies are no longer truly innovating, thats an advantage for us in the long run.

SO CAN THE KIDS TAKE THEM OFF

ugh
I pulled my kids out of govt schools in 2020 over masks and it's gotten so much worse with wokeism being forced on kindergarteners.

My kids are never going back. I'm on this forum lurking for ideas to supplement our family income so I can homeschool forever.

Did they forget gun control? Or did they just portray the rednecks as the imbeciles who would own them?

They didn't forget it. The writers use subtle metaphors to promote their ideologies. When Peacemaker attempts to use the new weaponized mask that he got from his nazi father to subdue another character, he doesn't fully understand its capabilities and accidentally vaporizes the other character.

In another scene, a second superhero comes in and there is a whole dialogue about how the other superhero is better because he never takes off his mask which would reveal his secret identity.

Some days I wish I could go back to being a brainless moron. I wish I'd never learned about psychology or mind control. I wish I could just watch a show and enjoy it.

A brainless moron would never learn psychology in the first place. You were F*cked by your DNA from birth. But look on the bright side, brainless morons don't enjoy shows either.

Chin up, pick up a good book and forget about the damn shows!

"Fastest growing job in America"

That's immaterial. WhoTF wants to make $27K a year?

These are jobs suited for teenagers, HS drop outs, college grads with philosophy degrees, or Fastlaners who need something short-term to pay bills ... you can't life a decent life on $27K a year, which is basically $1,900/mo after tax.

I know several people, who live of that or less!
I never can believe they can.
Even relatives I really love.
One couple living of 1400€ a month. He is jobless. I wanted to push him to lawn mowing. I d make the business, he works at me. But no, the pressure with that little money isn’t enough for some.

Like to post something but it doesn't need its own thread?

This thread is for you!

Thought I'd create a random thoughts and chit-chat thread for anyone who'd like to post something, but it doesn't need it's own thread.

For example, I just learned today that an idea I had years ago for an airport valet service is now reality. Not only is it reality, but it is growing and grabbing funding.

The service is EXACTLY as I envisioned it would be.

OAK and LAX Long-Term Airport Parking : Never Park Again

Darn it!

The old, "Damn, I had that idea!!" strikes again!

That said, I might invest as they are taking accredited investor money.

i hope i reach $100,000 in sales this month from my business, WOW.

Maybe 27k / month might be ok… not everywhere, but decent life is possible.

It's not the writers, it's Blackrock and Vanguard... Who Owns Big Pharma + Big Media? You’ll Never Guess.
We live in an inverted world these days where good is bad etc. Conspiracy theories are becoming facts very quickly lately.
There was a movie a while back called Gamer and had a scene where normal people living normal ish lives put on vr headsets and enter a world of degeneracy. The thing is the things you see in that scene are...normal life now for us!

This came out in 2009...only 12 years later it seems like reality, women twerking in public etc...

Ads like this are so stupid when the people are being treated like animals.


If this is true then why are people being left to die, treated like livestock?

Then f*#@%ing try anything, holy shit. I'm sure they will pay for the treatment too.

Instead they are just going to let him die, despite the wish of the family to explore other options.

Any legal background minds on this forum?

If an ICU agreed to administer a drug that's not on the hospital's protocol and the patient dies. Can the family sue the hospital later for administering the drug?

My company orders custom printed cardboard boxes that we used to ship out our orders. Our last box order was 15,000 boxes at a price of about $9000.

Of course, some of these boxes did not print out correctly. Some had partial printing, others were printed badly offset, and some other boxes were just not made to spec.

So I took photos and emailed the company and told them that we had about 300 boxes that were not properly made. When I placed a new order I asked for a credit for those 300 boxes which would’ve amounted to about $180.

The salesman of the company came to my warehouse because he wanted to inspect the poorly made boxes. However we had already used them all because we needed to ship our Christmas orders. He said sorry we cannot give you credit for boxes that you have used. You only get credits for boxes that are unusable.

Talk about a horrible customer service policy. He expected us to set aside each box that was not made to specifications in order for us to get a $.60 credit on each one. I told him that on this next order we are going to inspect each box and let him know right away and reject any boxes that are not made to specifications. I told him that there was probably more than 300 boxes but I just gave him a round a number estimate.

Needless to say I am looking for a new box supplier because the supplier is willing to lose a $20,000 a year account over $180.

Check out the photos. What more proof do you need? Don’t be this company!

This box had no printing at all on it.


The text paragraph was missing on this one.
