I'm currently looking for a second career job. I've put out literally 100+ resumes in the past couple of months. The only two positions I've heard back from were from agencies where I knew someone.

Asking for help/an in is not only acceptable, but in many situations, the only way to get a position.

Don't feel bad for something everyone else is doing.

Conversely, anytime I've worked somewhere where a position opens that a friend of mine may benefit, I let them know and will hunt down the hiring manager once my friend applies.

My wife can apply for dual citizenship as the grand daughter of Irish immigrants. Her sister already moved to Ireland about five years ago. We're making plans to protect our son.

I may be called a coward, and part of me would agree, but I've watched this country descend into fascism for over thirty years. I no longer have hope that things will get better.

My father in law is the son of Irish immigrants. According to Stephen Miller's plan, he can be denaturalized and deported. Is it likely to happen to him? Probably not. He's a relatively wealthy 70 year old. But once the brown people are dealt with, who will they scapegoat next?

To give Bush his credit, he said that "won't be fooled again" line because he realized he was about to say "shame on me," and that would have been used against him for the rest of his presidency.

It actually showed real on the spot adaptability.

I unironically want to get one for me cat.

I feel this goes beyond theory at this point, sadly.

Thank you for transcribing that! My wife and I burst out laughing when he said that.

What if the dm words it like: "you appear to be in a privy. You notice a hole in the wall."?

I've already put more thought into this than I'm comfortable with.

To be fair, when has a president ever had to deal with an unexpected change of events?

(/s to be safe)

I'm calling my shot: by the end of September, he drops the hard R in public.

We all know Trump won't accept the results. He didn't in 2020, and in 2016 he claimed it was still rigged against him even when he won.

It's really weird when you think about it.

MAGA nut jobs: wtf, I love EVs!

All your boss told you was that if they could, they would pay you less.

All hard work gets you is more work.

I donated $100 and will probably donate more.

I feel like this is our last attempt at a do over of 2016. I was swindled by Russian propaganda and bought into the "protest by voting third party," and while my vote didn't change anything (New Yorker), a lot of others were also duped in swing states and counties.

Would you rather he not doll himself up for a date with your couch?

To be fair, that's a lot of xp they just gained.

Nothing short of hard financial and/or legal ramifications will stifle this kind of election interference. If it's not stopped now, it will take root and fester.

This chucklefuck wants to give me more voting power for creampieing (creamping?) my wife? Sure, I'll vote even harder against this idiot.

Zuckerberg bribed Devos?

"It is hypocritical to claim to be concerned about the massive death toll of innocent civilians, and then turn around and welcome the person responsible for these war crimes to our Capitol," Tlaib said.

Couldn't have worded it better myself. Netanyahu slaughters 40,000 people, 2/3 of them women and children, and he gets to stand in front of some of the most powerful people in the world and celebrate?
