Proud Boys leader predicts Trump will pardon him as he bemoans prison food
  • Nah, he could have pardoned them before he left office but as usual doesn't give a flying fuck about anyone except himself. These idiots don't realize they were simply tools used and then discarded.

    However, I could foresee a scenario where another candidate runs hard on the "pardon all the J6 'political prisoners' platform" and get some traction. That said, they would only follow-through if it got them political points or some other personal gain.

  • Texas man jailed for DWI is beaten to death in custody
  • Did you read the article? Cause your comment seems to imply that you didn't.

    The timeline shows Jesus Garcia was washing his vehicle Sunday at around 6 p.m. before he was placed in Alton police custody one hour later.

    and

    Carlos Garcia released photos of his client — Jesus “Jesse” Garcia — who he said was arrested Sunday evening by the Alton Police Department on Sunday evening on a charge of suspicion of DWI.

    He was taken into police custody on SUSPICION of a DWI while WASHING HIS CAR.

    DWI accusation aside (innocent until proven guilty and all that) there is ZERO fucking reason someone should be beaten and die in police custody. They aren't judge, jury, and executioner. So yes, ACAB.

  • DeSantis' redistricting map in Florida is unconstitutional and must be redrawn, judge says
  • Of course, which is why they (republicans) have been working so hard to dismantle free and fair elections. They know they can't win if things are fair.

    If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

  • Texas highways are the next anti-abortion target. One town is resisting.
  • If they are US routes or interstates then yes. If they are state or county/township roads than probably not. Though if I recall correctly if a local road has an over/underpass of an interstate federal funds could be used to help maintain or rebuild those bridges. That part I'm fuzzy on though so could be wrong.

  • Millions of additional salaried workers could get overtime pay under Biden proposal
  • I do appreciate it. I'll call my role technical consulting too to keep things rather vague. My boss, and his boss, and his boss are VERY in-tune to the work/life balance. And the company as a whole has zero plans to get people into offices as they were very remote-first well before the pandemic. Hell my team is spread out across the US so it's not like I would be able to see any of them in-person anyway. When I took this position in May I had to make a list of where everyone was located to keep track of timezones, lol.

  • Millions of additional salaried workers could get overtime pay under Biden proposal
  • Gotcha, yeah I don't have a ton of data which is why I said I was likely in the minority. I do appreciate the insights though as my current position is only guaranteed through 2026 because of our project. Hopefully we get more projects and it continues but it's good to know that the industry is (unsurprisingly) screwing over more and more salaried employees.

  • Millions of additional salaried workers could get overtime pay under Biden proposal
  • I'm probably well in the minority here but I'm curious how true that statement is across the board. Or maybe I just work for a great team, lol. I rarely put in more than about 30-35 a week with exceptions of crunch-time deadlines. I do pull some odd hours because we have a team in India but can just take comp time later in the day or week to offset that. I'm paid (by most standards I know) quite well too.

    That said, this is great for the folks that will benefit! I really hope this helps push for a larger reform. Far too many people are getting screwed over by shit jobs, shit hours, shit pay, shit benefits, etc...

  • I've heard that before but really wonder if it's true. My last encounter with (I believe Mormons though it's been a LOT of years ago) was while we were eating dinner. The front door was open with the glass storm door closed. They came to the door, knocked, then stared at us while we were eating dinner as a family. We stared back and they proceeded to knock another 3 times before leaving. I mean, regardless of what you are at the door for that's just rude as fuck so how would they expect a nice response?!
