Gaslighting could take the form of saying “my political team would never do [the thing].” Their political team subsequently does [the thing]. Then claiming they never said the original statement. Sometimes they’re even so fucking stupid as to leave that comment visible so you can just screenshot it and ask “this you?”
… ask me how I know.
My state has a law that you are to walk on the left side of the road. Check whatever level of laws you under?
Not sure if there’s specific nuance between an employment contract and an offer letter, but an offer letter is legally binding.
I don’t think there are explicit employer/employee federal regulations for that. There could be at the state level. However there are absolutely damages that occurred and a remedy can be pursued. It’s called promissory estoppel. A signed offer letter is a legally binding document. They don’t just get to wiggle out of that legally.
Amazing how two words just completes the headline.
Thanks for the extra info. So not chalking it up to “failure” in such a short time should maybe be chalked up to failure in such a “short time”.
Reminds me of times during the height of covid when the antivax nutter I know on Facebook would rant about some article showing “the vax not working” or whatever bullshit. His propaganda outlets of choice would seemingly sift through monthly data by country and if one country failed to report one period or reported two periods in one they’d cry foul and point to just those numbers.
when the general populace voted for an continue to support this
Did they though? Only 63.4% of voting eligible citizens voted in '24. And of those only 49.8% voted for trump. He has never won a majority of the popular vote. Ever. It’s due to the electoral college and the cap on representatives in the house. This gives a significant advantage to lower population states that typically lean republican. Those rules seemed to make sense before we could reasonably collect, count results, and communicate that info in a day. Those rules no longer make sense but as it benefits the republicans they will hold that hill until they die. This country would be shaped very differently if we used the popular vote.
I’d be interested in more long term effects. Are these increased police killings actually getting to people that might have murdered in the future? If that was the goal I’d have predicted an increase in police killings like this is showing. Then both numbers would start to drop at a rate faster than they had been.
Not that I’m condoning the practice, I just wouldn’t chalk it up to a “failure” after such a short time.
Someone’s gonna destroy an MRI machine doing that.
What’s that saying for social media? If it’s free, you are the product? Qatar gonna get so much intelligence from the bugs they plant all over.
Nephew/ niece is nibling. Like sibling.
I think it’d be a good thing. I can’t imagine a world where social media companies comply. They’d just block it in that state. The uproar and backlash would be immediate. It would likely be political suicide for anyone supporting it.
Youtube. I used to have a front end that would allow the phone to lock while playing but that broke so I just raw dog it now.
Noise canceling headphones and white/background noise or music. Rather than true “white noise” I prefer deeper stuff like cosmic or other low wavelength noise.
Hour for me with adderall. It’s especially great if you need to wake up super early for some reason.
The hell is a crochet needle?
^I actually don’t know if feigning offense at that phrasing is a thing among hookers. Just felt like a funny place to interject it.^
Look man. If my favorite football team sucks and makes shitty deals for players and has a losing record, I’m still going over the top saying they’re gonna beat our main rivals and are the best ever. Hell I don’t even need to understand why they suck or what they could even do to get better. They’re my team! I can’t let you talk shit about them.
And if they located him via illegal means, none of that is admissable…
Devil’s advocate and IANAL, but illegally obtained evidence can still be admitted so long as at some point there was a legal means to obtain it. I’m sure there’s a ton of nuance that goes into the specifics and especially regarding this case, but it’s not like that stuff is completely tossed out of it was found illegally.
Then they say they trust parents to make decisions on vaccines when what they mean is they are anti-vax.
Online debate can help in niche situations. It’s not about convincing the person toy are directly opposing. It’s about getting the counter arguments in a bigger forum so less brainwashed people might be able to avoid getting brainwashed.
