For the last 20 years, I’ve worked in smaller tech start ups (~10-50 people) and one larger more corporate tech place (~300 people), and they’ve all been salaried, 9-5. Since they're salaried, it’s a paid lunch period.
This was in a toss up round, where letters are revealed randomly one at a time.
I think the joke is that if this bag falls apart, which was supposed to last a lifetime, that it must mean your life is near its end, as though the life of the bag and your own are intertwined.
When Republicans send its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

It says that room is 10’ wide, so that’s like a five foot bed… I’d hate to sleep on that!
Paramount+ might have it, as Comedy Central falls under their network.
I had to look it up, too. From Wikipedia, it’s a white nationalism flag.

Yikes, that must have been scary! My cat started refusing her treats about a month ago, which is how I had been giving her her meds for the past year, I can really relate to that struggle get them to take their meds. If only they’d understand that it’ll make them feel better!
If I’ve literally learned anything, it’s that if a bunch of us keep using it as a compliment to mean quirky, we can shift the meaning!
I’m in an urban area where my apartment building is wired for only one ISP. $92 a month, the speed test I just did was 400 down, 20 up.
