That was the striking thing to me as well. One cable with no backup safety mechanisms. Unbelievable.

To a certain extent, I agree with you. It is even in their own book— turning the other cheek. And despite everything, I think kindness always counts.
That said, there comes a point where I feel I need to see if I can drag the horse to the water rather than hoping it will follow me there. If it doesn’t, perhaps it is a lost cause and I should go find another horse. Know what I mean?
It’s just hard to find where that moment is, especially if it is family.
We saw what happened with toilet paper in 2020 and said “wouldn’t it be great if everything could be like this? At least we wouldn’t have a black lady as President!”.
So long as they’re not moving on to a new one, good. Religion is a plague on human society. We don’t need it holding us back.
But at least they were born, and isn’t that all that counts?

If history has taught us anything, it is that the Ukrainian people are smart, creative, inventive, tenacious, and determined. I have no doubt they will excel in this and in everything else thereafter.

Posted this in the other thread; adding it here:
Joke’s on them; I already started. I’d rather spend more with a company that has a backbone and supports its employees and the community with more than just platitudes when it suits them financially.
And even more importantly, just bringing back the old policy isn’t enough to get me to return. I want consistent demonstration of their commitment first. For years.
But you know they save some money on DEI training, so win?
Target can go fuck themselves.

Original borders, NATO membership, and the return of nuclear weapons. Fuck Russia and their agent Trump. Get out of Ukraine.
The cruelty is the point. It’s ridiculous. How can people be so driven by hate and greed to do such a thing?
First you have to have an understanding of “the common good”, which I’m quite certain he is lacking. There is only “the good for me”.
Ain’t getting a sweetheart deal this time, though. Hope the EU holds their feet to the fire if they try to rejoin.
If you want really disgusting, my grandmother had a mayonnaise cookbook with all sorts of crimes against humanity presented as normal, everyday meals. Thankfully she was a good cook and thus never subjected us to those horrors, but I still get kinda sick just thinking about some of them.
I’ve pulled back as well. They’ve eliminated all their good coupons and increased all their prices to the point where a more upscale restaurant is on equal footing in price and far ahead in quality.
McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, and Burger King all compete on being cheap, filling, and of adequate quality for most people. Now they’re not cheap anymore and I can get Cane’s, Popeye’s, Culver’s, and Five Guys for nearly the same price. What incentive to I have to choose McDonald’s/BK/TB/etc? Also, I don’t drink soda, so no value meal options anywhere for that. I’ll never buy that $5 meal deal.
Taco Bell’s chili cheese burrito is $3.79. Beef and bean burritos are $2.49 for gods sake. That shit used to be 89 cents. Even with inflation it should only be about $1.50. McDonald’s double cheeseburger is $3.79, too. BKs app deals are a joke and what was once a pretty good value meal is basically toast. Same at Wendy’s, and they’re also investigating surge pricing for food, even though they walked it back.
I’m glad folks are voting with their wallets and saying no more to this crap. I get prices go up in the long term but damn, this feels more like price gouging than inflation.
Yep. Rejoin and the British Pound dies. No special deals this time.
