Recall one of the most insane graphs ever: After a decade men paid off ~30% of their loans and women paid off ~3%

Men pay down student debt and women don't. They have different expectations around college's use and different sensitivity to cost-benefit. https://t.co/KlUXc8cTnn pic.twitter.com/pxsnF9Vr27

>the very backbone of American government, the HR of all HR ...

You, working honestly

Government KING clicking delete on a legitimate email (most work xhe's done this week)

They're too nice

Smartest fed

Dipshit deep dive!

Meet /u/aqua410, Baltimore bureaucrat par excellence

Given the area code and how much she loves her sassy black woman gifs, you'd think she's one herself...

Besides not knowing how to google "metadata", she's doesn't know FB owns whatsapp:

Or why people don't just hack Elon Muskrat out of existence

Life is hard for a black woman in tech

She makes up for that small lapse by being extremely knowledgeable on laws:

Early life

Jews take great pride in being מאמינים בני מאמינים "believers, the sons of believers" - an unbroken lineage of faith in and loyalty to G-d from the times of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Similarly, this middle aged mammy is unfireable, the daughter of unfireables:

Sadly, they're not supportive enough of her having to... go back to work

She shuffles around lazily between agencies

Deleting every email she doesn't like

Pooping up everything she touches

Unfortunately, the country will fall apart if we can't reach her after 3:30 pm

Weigh in!

Which of the following metaphors best describes the role of HR in an organization?

• backbone

• visceral fat

• metastasized stage 4 lymphoma

Guys, we aren't even a month in. This is just the beginning.

We have a 2nd Amendment for this reason. This is the gun nuts wet dream but they're sitting on the sidelines cheering the destruction of the US Constitution.

>spend the past 100 years calling them gun nuts

>cry when they don't come to aid the Fed

De minimus entries from China shut down effective Tuesday.

/r/sanantonio recently had this discussion and I have some takeaways I want to share with you. Less about restaurants per se but the sentiment applies.Buccees owners are hardcore Paxton / Abbott supporters/donors.Pluckers owners drank the trump coolaid too.Heb does donate to republicans, though it seems it's more just because that's who's in charge - they've donated to more moderate, non-school vouchers ones and this has drawn Abbott's disapproval.Check out the "goods unite us" website to see what corporation funds what candidate and political party. Less local more national honestly but still. I've been looking at it and some egregiously conservative (like funding politicians vehemently against roe) include Home Depot, Valero, and Chick-fil-A.

I will stop at buc-cees to take a shit and leave. (276)

Oh dear. Yeah, I don't know where "our" forum is but it isn't here! I sort of think nowhere, since the election proved that Americans will cut off their nose to spite their face. And AS A WOMAN, I'm pissed at the women who gave their vote to that male feminist, misogynistic, criminal, lying, boil on the butt of humanity the reigns. Frick. I'm so sick of no one else standing up and saying that we are hurtling at light speed towards a dystopian society and people just put the thumb up their butt, or actually, they keep them on their phones and believe allll the fricking bullshit that Trump and his allies claim.Aaaaanyway just wanted to say you sure jumped in with your first post 😂 buckle up!

Tilman Fertitta, Trump's ambassador to Italy, owns:Mastro's Steakhouse and Ocean Club, Morton's The Steakhouse, Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse, Del Frisco's Grille, The Oceanaire, Vic & Anthony's, Brenner's Steakhouse, Grotto, Atlantic Grill, La Griglia and Willie G's, Chart House, Landry's Seafood House, Rainforest Cafe, Saltgrass Steak House, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, Mitchell's Fish Market, Dos Caminos, Bill's Bar & Burger, Joe's Crab Shack and McCormick & Schmick's, Portland City Grill, Kincaid's, Simon and Seaford's, and Henry's Tavern. This is a partial list. (2203)

Landrys is the worst company i ever worked for. And they are also horrible at business. When they took over BRGuest in NYC their goons (I refuse to call them anything but that) came in and changed everything. For the worse. They told me to fire 40% of my staff and if I couldn't find a reason to I was not doing my job. They ignored the Donn doff law and had signs at terminals saying "do not clock in until fully in uniform" which is…illegal. They got rid of the time card adjustment signatures. Which is required in nyc. Any time you adjust a staffs time card they have to sign off on it. Very simple. Yes it was a huge restaurant and yes it took a lot of time to do 3 times a shift (people forgot to clock in, people for got to clock out for they break, etc…) but it's the law. They did away with it. It's a HUGE lawsuit. Every single employee can sue for incorrect hour reporting. It's usually a class action and lawyers make most of the money, but it's an easy slam dunk case for any law firm...

Don't have a clue about who actually owns the company but I can tell you for sure that the family who owns the Jets Pizza stores north of Humble are hardcore crazy Trumpers. Worked there for a bit before quitting because the dad/owner went on a 45 min rant about how black people are the most terrible workers/they need to be "vetted way more" before going on another rant about how we're finally gonna get rid of all the ADHD & autism going around these days "once RFK gets in there" and gets rid of all the sugar in our food. They had a trans neurodivergent teenager working for them as a delivery driver too & I felt so bad for him because the owners talked soooooo much disgusting ignorant shit whenever he wasn't there. Not to mention the Trump/Vance "I'm voting for the outlaw & the hillbilly" sweatshirt the owner's son would come in wearing every day. I could go on but yeah they're definitely ones to avoid (6)

Game to Discuss?

Goat Simulator. I truthfully forgot about this game from the moment I last closed it (around 7 years ago) til about a week ago, when I'd forgotten whatever it was I'd originally wanted to say about Satisfactory. I have just under an hour of play time, representing a single playing session, and half-memories of the madcap mixture of genres, outright bugs, "bugs," and attempts at humor which probably come off as dated, even to the erudite and learned rdrama dot net. I guess there's also somehow a remaster of the game, which is if nothing else an indictment of our culture's inability to make anything new, instead preferring to "remaster" (theoretically) intentionally bad games. Discuss below, and vote in the pinned comment.

This story broke within the last few hours. This appears to be the largest thread so far on Reddit.

Prediction: the story gets largely buried. Search 'title:ncaa' on Reddit over the next 24 hours if you care to I guess.

That is all

2024 YR4 is an asteroid recently discovered by scientists in Chile (it's not the flying Tesla "asteroid", this one is legit). It is an "Apollo-type" near-Earth object that crosses our planet's orbit.

This week, scientists learned it had a 1.2%-1.6% chance of hitting Earth on 22 December 2032.

At a diameter of between 40 and 100 metres (130 and 330 ft), an impact with the ground could release approximately 8 megatons of destructive energy.

For reference, that is 533 times the bomb at Hiroshima and more than double the maximum yield of a US Navy Trident II ICMB.

All this places 2024 YR4 at a troubling 3 (out of 10) on the Torino Scale of impact hazards. It is the only non-0 threat, and the second highest ever recorded, exceeded only briefly in 2004 by 99942 Apophis before closer observations revealed that asteroid would not hit Earth.

So that is the bad news. Ready for the good news?

Calculations by NASA and the ESA show that 2024 YR4's "risk corridor" (where it would hit) doesn't pose a threat to anywhere important.

Wow. Congress just tabled a bill that would *actually* kill open-source. This is easily the most aggressive legislative action on AI—and it was proposed by the GOP senator who slammed @finkd for Llama.

Some asswipe that does this to another person's property deserves an butt whipping.Someone is going to get the crap beaten out of them if caught and I'm sure the anti Musk Reddit fricks will scream bloody murder.Also in some states, vandalism of a car that does not belong to you is a felony. Yep, go to prison and have your life ruined because you don't like Elon. (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Wow. So vandalism is okay with you? Sadly I'm not surprised. Your tolerance is pretty thin. And you scream police brutality when arrested for committing crimes. If the driver had gotten out, and a fight started, you'd be screaming on reddit about how a racist attacked and beat the man. Found out he was .01 percent native American and then screamed it was a hate crime attack. Then protested. Same old same old. (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

I dont think it's a great vehicle. I dislike Elon. Tesla is overrated.But wtf did this guy do to deal with this crap? He's already made the mistake of buying this thing, now he's gotta deal with buttholes who do entitled shit for views?This is just fricking stupid. (1)
