That's a hard 30

Exactly. Imagine I'm a competent professional, just minding my own business and being good at my job, and suddenly I'm asked to become some kind of resistance hero and risk my career, my livelihood, and my family's future. Meanwhile, all around me I see the worst people installed in power and are actively looting and destroying my organization.

I could do that, or I could jump ship and make a decent living somewhere else.

The choice is simple, for those that have that opportunity.

How is it a government employee's responsibility to "fight back" when the voters insist on installing the worst person as their boss? This is literally what the voters chose.

If the smart career employees want to get out while they can, more power to them. It's not their job to fight the will of millions of idiots.

Just be sure to clear the lint off your coils every five years or so. Otherwise you're making the poor guy suck air through a shag carpet.

As a counterpoint to the excellent examples posted here, I will cite an example of the opposite that I appreciate: In the Big Lebowski when the Dude goes to retrieve his stolen car and he asks the cop if they have any leads. The cop's reaction is both realistic and absolutely hilarious.

Do you also get with Bulma? I don't see a problem here.

Star Wars Kinect was the bomb

Remember, if you're still using Xshitter, even to follow your favorite pithy left-leaning celebrity who likes to "zing" Elon with clever comebacks, you're putting money directly in Trump's pocket.

Serpentine!

We were watching Rings of Power

My condolences

Nice Seiko 5 GMT

I mean, look at Ventress. She went from "I can fix her" villain to being relatively well-adjusted (for a star wars character)

Woke up this morning, got some gabagool

Do I look like I know what a jpeg is? I just want a picture of a got dang hot dog!

Whoa buddy, too soon. Now is not the time to talk policy. Trans kids are playing soccer.

Leftovers gang checking in. Sometimes it tastes even better the next day.

I'd link them for you, but I'm too busy playing the new 501st spinoff of Republic Commando. It's pretty badass; you customize a squad of troopers and follow them through training on Kamino, through the Clone Wars, and even Order 66 and the Bad Batch era. It's not just action; there are meaningful story choices you have to make as you struggle with your loyalty to the Republic and General Skywalker, vs the growing realization that something is wrong with the clones. It's really well-written and voice acted with a mature story.

In an alternate universe I just got a 10 kill streak with Ahsoka on the Siege of Mandalore map in Battlefront III. Star Wars Eclipse is coming out in a few months, and gameplay demos show that it looks every bit as good as the trailer.

Gordon lied on his resume and his bosses knew it.
