I do that and then open myself up to her being mad because shes on whatever the diet of the week it is that she told me she's on that I was listening to because I was dreaming about winning a national championship in football.

If you are truly lost and completely zoned out, just say “let’s talk about that bitch who’s out to get you at work”. You know why you do this? Because there is always a bitch at work out to get em and they are always ready to bitch about that bitch. Just get in there. Say you can’t believe it! Who does she think she is! Mercy! Babe, I honestly don’t know how you deal with the bitch everyday. Then walk away and grab a drink.

My man, it's not a girl at her work, it's a dude. Kevin. He's turned into the gm's personal pet.

She might be plotting his death as we speak.

See I can't do that. Her loyalties and feuds change week to week. Gotta stay on my toes.
 
Damn….that dude must hit left-handed. It’s always a woman. Women CANNOT get along with other women

My wife doesn't get along with anyone. I've told her it's a miracle we got together in the first place and proof there is a God that we've been together so long, in which time she replied that alcohol does dumb things to dumb people.

Our relationship is not for the faint of heart.

My brother in Christ. Welcome to the team. My wife hates everyone and doesn't much like Christmas. No dogs either.


I really should fear for my life at this point.

Dude!

My wife hates the holidays. Thinks they're dumb because we'll, she's her. I do the whole elf on a shelf thing for my youngest because well, she still believes (believed) and I wanted to enjoy it with her. My wife thought it was stupid.

A month or so ago we were playing a game she got for Christmas, Tapple. It's a game where there's a timer, you chose a category off a card and have to give a answer based on a letter of the alphabet that's available. Once a letter is picked, you click it down and the next person goes, in which time the timer resets and the next player goes. It kind of fun. Anyway, my youngest picked mythical/magical creatures. My youngest asks for an explanation what that means so we tell her. She starts off and gives Harry Potter, I gave something like lochness monster, then my wife gives Tooth fairy. My youngest looks at her but doesn't say anything and keeps playing. She gives and answer, I give and answer and then my wife says it.... Santa Claus. My daughter instantly stops and says what???? Santa's not real?

I looked at my wife and said, yep, you did it now. I looked at my kid, who had a tear coming down her cheek. In that moment, she found out we were Santa, the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny.

She's still salty.

Same. I put up decorations, etc. Seh grew up very poor in a 3rd world country and I understand why she's uncomfortable with the excesses of American Christmas.

But still.

Until I read posts on this site, I always thought I had married the most paranoid woman in the world. Nice to know I'm not alone.

What an absolutely fascinating clip. Trump sitting down, at his Oval Office desk, just making faces--I'm not even sure he's listening, but he's giving Musk the floor and interested more in the kid than Musk. And we have Musk, in that weird hat and get up (wouldn't surprise me if he has black pants and brown shoes on--autistic, indeed) speaking in that bizarre, yet completely genuine manner, seriously thinking he can convince people he's right, seemingly unaware that, in politics, no one cares.

What an amazing actor he is, by the way, to so convincingly play the bizarre engineer type and hide his real desires to be the evil scheming dictator looking to "accumulate power" by stealing all our health information and social security numbers and soon rule us all!

As for the argument, he lost me at "cut the budget deficit in half." I give that less of a chance than the Hoosiers signing Brad Stevens as our next basketball coach.
Talking about yourself in third person. Man, you are so hired.

I’m expecting four banners in the next six years.

Whats the difference between a regular Presidential appointee and an Oligarch Presidential appointee?
An oligarch gains significant financial means through the private business that is afforded by the government. So, for example, if an appointee happened to be a billionaire business owner, and he stood to gain personally and privately by the power invested to him, then he would be an oligarch.
This would also include influence by non-elected officials who had ability to sway policy within Congress to enable laws that would benefit that person longterm, financially.
A good example would be if Musk was able to gain future defense contracts and influence tax policies that were favorable to him, in exchange for being a federal axeman.

And if that Oligarch could deliver better space products (simply an example), at <50% the price, 2+ decades earlier than a traditional .Gov admin ran department. Would that be a good Oligarch or a bad Oligarch? Also, would the legacy .Gov ran dept be a good waste of $ or a bad waste of $?
We look forward to your response and than you.

Sometimes when decision makers say "I can do it better and cheaper" but that also means the same decision makers get more business, you should be wary. Drawing on my deep expertise of the history of the food business, a few years back, Thai Union, a huge seafood conglomerate (they own Chicken of the Sea among many other brands) bought Red Lobster. Part of the theory was that they could supply Red Lobster more efficiently because they were best at what they do. But the interests of Thai Union turned out to be more important than the interests of Red Lobster, and now Red Lobster is bankrupt.

Efficiency and savings are great in theory. But people need to stay in their lane, because overlapping and conflicting interests necessarily lead to someone getting f*cked without a chair when the music stops.

Not disagreeing with you at all.
But on your example, there are probably 70 things that were good about RL that had value to Thai
and 70 bad things that made RL a dead brand to start with.

Notice that Elon nor Bezos "took over" (for lack of a better description) NASA, they simply started from scratch. There wasn't 70 valuable good things left after generations of DC running NASA into the ground, pun not intended.
 
The last four years were very very toxic. Gaslighting. Shaming. Canceling. Fomenting racial divides.

Now. We heal. That photo I linked is a beautiful totem of our unity. We’re not black brown white or eunuchs. We’re just. Americans 🙏
We're mutants - we're mutts. His nose is cold. We've been kicked out of every decent country in the world. We've been kickin' ass for over 200 years. We're 10 and 1!

There were other problems with RL, for sure. The owners before Thai Union sold all their real estate, which is part of their MO, and that put the brand on a weaker footing long-term. But there's no question that Thai Union subordinating the needs of the restaurant brand to the needs of their seafood business was a huge factor in their failure. They even revamped the RL menu to focus on selling Thai Union products. That's not how you win in that game.
