“Every man has a right to his own destiny, until it crosses into another man’s.”
I can make an argument that the Angels had basically worn out their welcome marketing-wise by now. I once applied to be a Creative Director at VS and as I went through the interview process, I realized that it was basically ‘rearranging the Angels’ without any sense of innovation or ideation to keep VS fresh.
There’s room for some different kind of “sexy” but without the, you know, shoving woke leftist politics down your throat which is what this seems to be.

It’s gated. What’s the rationale for this abomination?
In reality, most schools relied primarily on standardized tests and most students easily passed them.
But demonstrating proficiency proved most challenging for students who learned English as a second language, students with disabilities and students of color.
Officials on the Oregon Board of Education, when they enacted the “essential skills” graduation requirement more than a decade ago, said they hoped no student would be denied a diploma for lacking the skills but that schools would step up and help juniors and seniors who hadn’t mastered enough English or math to do so. Many high schools created special math and writing workshop classes for seniors who needed to demonstrate those skills to get their diplomas.
The bill calls on the diverse committee studying graduation requirements to come up with a recommendation “with the goal of ensuring that the processes and outcomes related to the requirements for high school diplomas are equitable, accessible and inclusive.”

Heres the scam…. publicly funded pre-k thru 12 doesnt provide the basics of education in math, reading, and science that it did 30 years ago, so young people now need to rack up massive student debt to get to those basics education levels hopefully by grade 14 (junior college).
The reality is that undergrad is mostly commie indoctrination continuation to give the bachelor degree that isnt really worth the paper it is written on.
So we have massive wealth transfers to commies who chose government jobs over from those that chose to educate themselves outside of the indoctrination centers but had kids.
I am now reminding Libertarians that if you dont accept government service jobs, Lefties will. Lefties are for less likely to vote for the shrinking of government, so our corrupt government will expand.
On the flip side, civil war 2.0 might resolve this entire bloated govt problem.

One of the pleasures of being in a BigCorp silo is I don’t have to interview anyone any more. It almost makes working on the same project for the last six months and for the foreseeable future worth it.
But if I don’t, then the people who actually do the hiring won’t be able to tell which of the candidates actually know what they’re talking about, since the hiring folks don’t understand our job.

Well, the car saga has ended. After giving 10 separate traditional dealerships 12 hours to get me a motherloving quote for cars that are on their websites and getting exactly one quote that didn’t actually have all of the fees and assorted bullshit in it, I found a used version of the exact car we wanted (okay, the leather is black instead of brown, but I’ll live with it ?) on Vroom for enough cheaper that it warranted going used. 45 minutes later (mostly spent scanning in various documents) and they’re gonna drop the damn thing at my front door in a few days and haul off my trade-in.
Good riddance dealership sales apes! I’m glad I found a used car at an okay price rather than buying some overpriced new car at sticker because “inventory is low”.

NewWife doesn’t understand why I just don’t patronize stores with any version of The Sign.
The Sign
* isn’t necessary
* doesn’t improve health
* doesn’t change behavior
* doesn’t motivate compliance
* doesn’t improve on my understanding
* doesn’t teach me anything about the local jurisdiction’s law I didn’t already know
* doesn’t work or create any actual benefit
The Sign only does two things:
* cream the jeans of authoritarian types
* earn the undying and unforgotten hatred of the rest of us
It is important to penalize the authoritarian types and the stupid types: don’t reward the guilty.
The state hasn’t eliminated their mask requirement, except under tortured conditions. Or remove their sign requirement. So for a business to do both, in the face of active fining, is a bit of pushback.

Was talking with a coworker today and the mask policy at work came up. Coworker remarked that as soon as it changed to vaccinated didn’t need to wear one, they went into the HRIS and updated their vaccination status so they could do so. This status reporting is voluntary and only accessible to a limited number of HR pukes. Which excludes people managers and coworkers… so why not just leave it blank and just ditch the mask?… I kept my mouth shut.

1) I’ve seen many young people, from age 10 to 29, wearing masks even when they’re part of a group of unmasked older adults. We have fucked these kids’ mental health.
2) OSHA guidance is inconsistent with CDC guidelines, so my employer is making us wear masks until they get clarification. Barf.

I just put on the last of the ‘use it or lose it’ beef. It was a pack of ground beef that I mixed with finely chopped bacon and ground venison to make a meatloaf. I only used nine different herbs and spices because I forgot to add the salt and pepper (though salt is neither an herb or a spice)

Buddy’s Dad whom I used to fish with recreationally on the coast had a little break-down .22 that he’d use on halibut.

I’ll be in my bunk.
You have my attention.
That strange rectangular face is an issue.
I can live with it
Any sane man could.
Dammit, I was hoping for an actual rectangular face. Made me click for nothing.

The gelatinous globs are both grotesque and mesmerizing. I hate myself for not looking away.
Did anyone here catch Chuck Schumer calling retarded children retarded children live on TV? He didn’t even blink when he did it.
A rare moment of Shumer speaking his mind.
Was talking with a coworker today and the mask policy at work came up. Coworker remarked that as soon as it changed to vaccinated didn’t need to wear one, they went into the HRIS and updated their vaccination status so they could do so. This status reporting is voluntary and only accessible to a limited number of HR pukes. Which excludes people managers and coworkers… so why not just leave it blank and just ditch the mask?… I kept my mouth shut.
My spouse keeps getting asked “ Are you vaccinated? “
He says “Of course.”
The fact that he’s talking about polio, smallpox, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, measles, mumps, and rubella hasn’t really come up.
I’m pretty sure he’d pass a lie detector test on that question though.
California finally is letting folks go around unmasked.
It’s great, BUT:
1) I’ve seen many young people, from age 10 to 29, wearing masks even when they’re part of a group of unmasked older adults. We have fucked these kids’ mental health.
2) OSHA guidance is inconsistent with CDC guidelines, so my employer is making us wear masks until they get clarification. Barf.

They really need to stop giving me time off. Im eligible for a public intox just taking my trash to the curb.
TALL CANS !
Drunken Recycling? Off with his pinky finger!
TALL COFFEES!
Brah….its been 2 weeks. My little recycle bin sounded like someone emptied a bar’s dumpster.
They recycle glass where you are? Glass recycling ended a couple years ago here. That’s when pickup changed to every other week.
All recyclables go into a separate bin, and they haven’t told us NOT to put in glass, so…
Until the Plandemic, we were barely filling the recycle bin every two weeks. Then when had to get a second recycle bin to accommodate all the Bezos boxes and bags that were getting delivered. Now my wife has become the Composting Obergruppenführer, so we have empty bins again. ?
You throw away Useful Boxes??? We can’t fit any cars in our two-car garage anyway, so…
In our defense, we rarely order from Amazon, so it didn’t get THAT much worse during the panicdemic.
You throw away Useful Boxes???
No, we recycle them.
First it was fast recycling, now it’s slow recycling. 🙂
Dude. I recycle my cans in industrial bags that hold 150 of them. The wall-o-cans is currently stacked high at eleven. I can only fit eight in the bed of the Tacoma and I can’t put them outside because the bears would go on a bender. Yes, I drink too much…

More ass slapping. Literally.
Kind of disappointing actually. The narration fits.
Yeah, the snark was better than the jiggling.

The great experiment continues.
*eyeroll*
The experiment to determine just exactly how many people who should be institutionalized are wandering around freely?
Seems like twice the unknown long term risks with no added benefit. Get it or don’t but combinations sound like a really stupid idea.
It’s a replacement for getting the most piercings, or tattoos crowd. “Look at my vaccinations card! Look! Look! Look!”

Too loud they say.
They afraid it’s going to trigger The Big One?
I’m not an advocate of violence. But if I heard someone on this road yanked the asshole Rumpke driver out and beat him into a coma for leaving everyone’s bins laying on their side in the way of traffic ?
I’d understand.
My theory is that someone at Rumpke is a township trustee’s BIL.
I concur. Someone connected lives in this ‘hood or has family at the township here.
These streets are cleared of snow long before the city’s are.

Is it transitioning? If so, which way?
They’re just trying to make inroads into the vast untapped boyish looking female soccer player that wants to buy sexy lingerie demographic. It is vast, isn’t it?
It’s just a subset of the whiny unattractive cunte demographic. They are looking to draw in the whole bunch. “Pretty on the outside, ugly on the inside”
Remember Brandi Chastain ?
Would.
She wants to bite your dick off and then disembowel you with her bare hands. Solid wood!
I’ve “Chased Amy” before. It doesn’t turn out like that stupid twee movie, either. (at least not for me)
We should stop the asian hate.
I just put on the last of the ‘use it or lose it’ beef. It was a pack of ground beef that I mixed with finely chopped bacon and ground venison to make a meatloaf. I only used nine different herbs and spices because I forgot to add the salt and pepper (though salt is neither an herb or a spice)
However, salt (sodium chloride) makes up around 0.4% of your body weight.
That sounds delicious. Do you put the hard-boiled egg in the middle, or is it just All Meat, All the Time.
I used one raw egg as a binder since the venison has given me trouble in that department in the past. But the only place I’ve heard of wrapping an egg in ground meat is in the preparation of a scotch egg. Do people do meatloaf like that?
I don’t make meatloaf myself, but I have a mental picture of slices of meatloaf with a slice of hard-boiled egg in them. Perhaps that just a product of my fevered imagination.
Uhhh….I just made meatloaf.
Want me to bring you a sammich ?
How was yours prepared?
1st off, I dont use ketchup, unless requested. And since its just me & The Dozer…
2 lbs ground beef (Kroger recently had tubes of their 80/20 pink slime on sale, so thats the protein)
2 AIGS
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup bread-crumbs
Packet of McCormick’s meatloaf seasoning. Mix, toss in a loaf pan, cook at 350º F or something like that until done. Maybe 45 minutes.
Bon appetite!
ketchup is not a meatloaf ingredient.
Nor are bread crumbs.
Why milk?
Thanks, but I have to leave for the Subaru dealer shortly to get the A/C fixed once & for all.
I like to think you’d say, “Girrrrrl! You NEED to eat a sammich!”
(Does your meatloaf have the hard-boiled egg?)
Abeula’s Grandaughter?
(“that” s/b “that’s.” I give myself facial tics with typos like that.)
Well, it’s out of the oven and… it’s okay.
Not great, not terrible, just okay.
Probably needs more bacon.

If you only knew what they have hidden under those baggy shorts.
SEXXXY!
It’s just so cynical at this point. They’re not even trying anymore.
I should get a boat.
Buddy’s Dad whom I used to fish with recreationally on the coast had a little break-down .22 that he’d use on halibut. The big ones are dangerous when you get them in the boat so you need to shoot them through the brain after gaffing them. Even after he shot and killed the 120 pounder I caught, three hours later I wound up sitting atop the cooler just to keep it within. Halibut is nothing but a huge sideways muscular eating machine.
It was like those scenes from “The Evil Dead” where his sister is locked in the basement.
