It’s not even close to half. Republicans are a quarter to a third of the country.

It’s voter suppression and Democrats being the biggest possible fuckups they could be at every fucking opportunity.

Tell that to Volkswagen, BMW, Messerschmitt, Audi, Deutsche Bank… And all these guys: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust

Would Jesus at least be able fashion a scourge before-hand?

Something like “I don’t like to chat at work”.

The other suggestions seem far too inviting for follow-up or could be perceived as sidelong attacks.

That phrasing is hard to follow-up on, though not impossible, and focuses only on you. I suspect you also don’t chat with others, so they probably can’t say something like “But you chat with Johnny?”

Talking about what they’re doing that annoys you opens a conversation about them feeling attacked or maybe trying to find alternate ways to talk to you etc. You don’t need to explain why you don’t want to chat because that will open other conversations. They probably will try to follow up or redirect, but calmly insisting that you prefer not to chat may work.

HR is generally a bad place for employees to take issues since their stated job is to protect the company from liability their employees might incur. If you have a union or some other third party resource go to them first, then go to HR if they advise it. Since HR is interested in protecting the company from liability created by employees you may be able to aim them at the other employee, but you need to be sure that’s what they’ll do before going to them, otherwise they may view you as the liability.

EDIT: And you don’t need to wait for them to ask if you’re OK. If your issue is that they’re talking about non-work and that’s not why you’re there, just bring that up immediately.

And also be clear they can still talk to you as long as it’s work related, and that you’re not refusing to work with them. Otherwise you become an HR problem.

And THAT’S how I got into Juilliard!

I remember it was that he felt his managers should have told him he was an idiot more than they misinformed him. He was upset about what they didn’t say, not what they said.

It’s staged in that every element is fake.

When they take photos of Obama playing basketball, Trump golfing, etc. the subjects are still actually doing those things and actually do them off-camera as pastimes. The comms people are taking real interests and skills of their clients and casting them in the best possible light. The circumstances are staged, but the pastimes are not.

Mussolini never harvested any wheat and Trump never worked at McDonald’s. The comms people are completely fabricating their client’s interests and skills.

It’s not even Dirty Jobs levels of slumming it where they actually do the job but get paid thousands of times more and go to a fancy hotel at the end of the day. They’re just models.

Try PB&B on warm toast.

Definitely not an every day treat.

Now I’ve got 'er, boys.
The boss is on a roll!

Jareth seems at least a little ungay considering his infatuation with Sarah.

I have left-hand threaded fittings on a few things and always say to myself aloud “This is reverse-threaded” before I attempt to turn them then still fuck up first turn. It doesn’t stop me from fucking it up the first time - it just helps me remember why.

When I train new people on this equipment I tell them to say it aloud, show them, still fuck up the first turn, then they laugh.

Then I have them do it in front of me including saying it aloud - and they fuck up the first turn…

When you’ve been doing something unconsciously for decades it’s really hard to break.

The two things I can think of are the company may try to tag you for inappropriately handling what they consider confidential information – and if something goes to court and the email ends up in the discovery process, opposing council may be allowed access to your entire personal email account.

It’s probably better to copy everything as an attachment to a dedicated portable drive so it’s less likely to be called out by the company, and if it ends up it court you only need to release the information on that drive.

When you inflate a balloon with your breath is it more bouyant?

That is exactly the difference between weight and mass. And yes, that would be weightless and objects like balloons have negative weight until they reach an altitude where they’re neutrally bouyant and then are weightless.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight

Weight is defined as a force and has a direction. That’s what causes the movement. If the weight didn’t change there would be no movement.

Outdoors are generally not protected by right to privacy, even if on private property.

Someone standing in their own front lawn can be recorded with both video and audio without their consent.

This is what makes it legal to record police.

The problem isn’t just that it will be thrown out in court, it’s that it itself is illegal.

Which doesn’t necessarily mean don’t do it but you’re limited in how you can reveal how you know things are being stolen etc.

You have to memorize the level and jump a bit before that one tricky one comes on screen.

No you leave it on in the shower.
