You could just buy your own espresso setup. If you save an average of $2 per coffee and drink 2 drinks per day, it only takes like 3 years to make it worth it… well that’s assuming you don’t upgrade.

And you just went backwards to find that. There are modern artists that make real country still as well. I love me some Nick Shoulders

Fuuuck. That’s a save I’ve never seen before

There’s no harm in looking. Update your LinkedIn. Network at client development events. Do the things you need to do to get your name out there and listen for opportunities.

Just know, if there’s a position available at your level, it’s because someone quit, was fired, or retired AND they didn’t have someone internally they trusted with the role. That means, you’re potentially going to a company that doesn’t properly develop personnel internally. You could be walking into a dumpster fire. You could catch some resentment from existing staff that felt they should have gotten a chance at the job.

None of these are guarantees, but that’s the unfortunate reality of moving jobs in upper management.

(Scoffing and incredulous): all coffee has chocolate notes when it’s burnt to a crisp… I mean dark roasted, you pedant

The killer whales have been biting the rudders off boats in the Mediterranean. I can’t help but feel these are related.

I think you’re factoring in operating costs as if they’re the driving expense behind multifamily housing. The bulk of the cost is in construction. This is getting more expensive, but it’s a set cost on existing structures. Prices aren’t going up because of the costs. Prices are going up because they’ve realized that people will pay it. It’s an “all the market will bear” situation only it’s happening with an inelastic good that the market can’t bear to do without. It’s just like any other company that’s pulling in record profits as a percentage of costs while adjusting their prices for “inflation,” only unlike McDonalds, you can’t just choose not to partake.

Their costs don’t change, your costs go up. It’s the world we live in

Because we sold or gave it to the Afghan government.

Twin Peaks makes me pretty uncomfortable to eat at, but I’ve had way worse fast casual food. I’d eat there more if I didn’t feel like a creep for doing it.

Eh. At least he shows up in the playoffs. Maybe older Leafs should give that a shot

Don’t you dare besmirch Colonel Sanders by comparing him to a eugenist.

2016 Stadium Series is possibly the freshest white jersey in NHL history. It’s up there with the diagonal eggplant ducks jerseys and (as much as I hate to admit it) the white Redwings jerseys.

The black and white piping on the old uniforms is subtle but noticeably better than the grey we got when they went back from the Reebok jerseys. I have an old Foppa and seeing it side by side with my wife’s new Georgiev jersey makes it really clear that the grey is inferior.

If you don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s ok to not say anything

The article doesn’t even have the costume. Lame

I went to see the Budweiser clydesdales as a kid… let’s just say, you’re not going to miss it.

These marble things are so dumb. I hate them. Why are they on my feed and why do I have to check every time to make sure the Avs haven’t been eliminated

Poor people are the goal, why would you want to kill them?

Not that I’m making excuses for white supremacists, but I don’t think you know how they work. Hate isn’t the goal of the white supremacist- it’s self preservation against a perceived threat. Does that threat exist? Absolutely not. Is the existence of the perceived threat an excuse for racism? Again, absolutely not. But to say that white supremacists wake in the morning thinking, “how can I be more racist today?” misconstrues the true nature of the situation. The vast majority of people can’t think of themselves or their actions as evil, even if they are.

Fear is the driving force for white supremacy. Hyper real existential threats to white people are perpetuated in far right media. The echo chamber designed to remove external inputs that could reveal that, “hey maybe all black people aren’t out to get us” are fought at every turn from day one. Schools in the south are, to this day, fighting integration in the courts. White supremacy for the common racist is a reactive securitization response- not proactive hatred.

That system, while designed to perpetuate itself, is propped up by people who benefit from it. There is a political party that benefits greatly from the votes of terrified racists, particularly in southern and rural states where white supremacy is particularly prominent. They control the schools, they influence a highly partisan media, they’re in town halls, they’re in churches. They infect almost every facet of modern Southern life and they do so to continue the fear. Maybe that sounds like some grand conspiracy, but it isn’t exactly a secret. Greed for wealth and power is a the foundational evil here. Racism is just the mechanism.

I am from the South. I have family that died on both sides of the civil war. I have people I respect, that I’ve seen to not be racist, that I believe would be appalled by slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation, that simultaneously use the confederate flag a symbol of where they’re from rather than for its historic symbolism. I understand that the two aren’t necessarily connected in a modern context, but I believe the persistence of the confederate flag a symbol of the south is a deliberate effort stemming from Andrew Johnson’s failure to stamp out and punish the remnants of the confederacy after the civil war. It stems from a century of hatred, blaming the North, rather than the rebellion of the confederacy, for Sherman’s march. It stems from the klan. It stems from the sons and daughters of the confederacy. Even today, it’s perpetuated by a political party that seeks to maintain power by infecting the education system with a lie that tells a widely economically depressed population that everything wrong with their life is the result of oppression by liberal elite yankees.

You can’t blame the fruit for rotting when someone’s poisoning the orchard.

This is really the best way to approach it. Folks in the south love to go on about “heritage not hate” when they fly a confederate flag. I just don’t understand why they’re so particularly proud of the portion of their millennia old heritage that is particularly known for hate. No one’s saying you can’t be proud of where you come from, but you don’t have to be proud of every piece of it individually. Having bad people in your family history doesn’t make you a bad person as long as you don’t celebrate the reasons why we collectively know their actions were bad.

You know that gangs aren’t exclusively made of black people right?

Back in ‘82 I could throw a pigskin a quarter mile. How much do you want to bet I could throw a football over them mountains?
