In “at will” states in the US, you can be fired without cause and without notice. So do your homework before you decide not to follow company policy.

I have a friend who works for a library. They still offer this service. I don’t think anyone under the age of 70 has used it in some time.

I have definitely worked jobs where I know more than the IT department, and that’s scary.

Five-year-old Nicki really wishes her staunchly Republican family had been exposed to this deep wisdom when she grew up on a farm.

Bathing was my least favorite thing at that point in time, yet I was still expected to do it daily.

Do you think she’ll “admit” that she “faked” Trump’s contribution to the birthday book?

I have said for a long time that the number of bisexual people must be huge. All of these right-wingers seem to be equally attracted to men and women, so they’re obviously bi and choosing to ignore part of their own sexuality.

There’s some nuance not present on this map.

In some places, the age of consent listed on the map only applies if the older partner is reasonably close in age to the younger one.

In Kentucky, for example, the age listed is 16. However, there are age-based restrictions that stipulate that a 16-year-old is not legally capable of consenting to a sexual relationship with someone more than 10 years older.

Other states require closer age gaps of maybe 3 or 4 years for 16-year-olds.

That was my first thought as well.

Same here. Lemmy at this stage feels a lot like Reddit did when I joined back in the early 2000s.

I’m glad I made the switch, because things are just generally nicer in a smaller community.

They already have 6 kids, so their genes are highly likely to carry on.

Seconded. Really, I thought all of the casting was really well done.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first season. Part of the fun was the mystery, which is why I don’t think the second season was as good. The show tried too hard to explain and it got a little bit too mired down in its own metaphysics for my taste.

I’m not sure I’ll watch any more of it.

Never forget.

Seriously, that might have been the best guerilla marketing campaign ever. So many people were utterly clueless (and needlessly terrified), but fans of the show knew immediately what they were.

So … wait for the EU to outlaw this practice as price gouging, then use a VPN to appear to be buying from the EU?

I feel like if we have a minimum age of 35 for a President, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to have a maximum age of 70, which is double the minimum age.

I really think that anyone who is eligible to retire and draw Social Security should be aged out of public office. I wish that older people in government would retire and go enjoy their lives.

The Boomers got that opportunity from the generations before them. (Bill Clinton took office when he was 46. That was 32 years ago.) They have held on to power for far longer than is reasonable. Gen X never really expected to make a difference, but it would have been nice to at least have had the opportunity to try.

That was my immediate thought.

(Anyone reading this who doesn’t understand, please trust me when I say that you don’t want to. You can’t unsee that, even 25+ years later.)

I assume they were trash-talking el presidente together, which could be political suicide for a Republican in Texas.

In some places in the US (I’ve never lived in NY, so I’m not sure if it applies there) when you file as an independent candidate, you have to produce a petition with a certain number of signatures with your paperwork.

This generally limits the number of crazy uncles who can appear on the ballot.

Instructions unclear; now I look like Nicolas Cage.
