To be fair, allowing felons to run for office means that a leader's political enemies can't be charged with phony crimes in order to prevent them from running for office. It's a safeguard against authoritarianism.

I used to think there was no such thing as a stupid question. You have now changed my mind.

Pilot: Mayday mayday mayday, we've had an engine out

Tower: Is it a full or partial engine out?

Pilot: Partially out of the cowling

Get a little portable bidet. They're not ideal, but it sure beats the awful toilet paper in public bathrooms.

I have absolutely no idea what they mean by conservative/progressive movie. I too would like to know, because I'm utterly baffled.

When I graduated college, I was interviewing with the charter school that my mom works at. They were looking for ANYBODY with a degree in physics. It didn't matter that I wasn't a licensed educator, it didn't matter that all I had was a Bachelor's degree. They were offering an annual salary of $42,000 per year.

Two years later, I'm making over 4x that amount, annually, as a software engineer.

I really would love to teach, because I love science and I love teaching. But I love financial stability and a good work/life balance wayyy more.

You could always just create an account on another instance. It's unlikely that username has been taken on every other instance.

While others grow a beard because we've lost everything on top and it's at least a consolation prize.

"Liquidation" sounds like it's just another way to say "sunken"

Howdy neighbor. Things are pretty bad up here in SLC too. I'm just gonna keep renting until it all comes down, or the lake dries up.

I'm planning on selling my MacBook and making the switch as soon as the AMD version is available. I'm excited to be able to support a company that values repairable hardware.

A coworker of mine used to be in upper management at Google, and apparently helped increase ad clicks by a 8% during his time there (I have no idea what the scope of his responsibilities were, so that number might not mean anything).

He eventually realized that he wasn't making anyone's life any better (quite the opposite) and decided to quit and find something meaningful to work on.
