Woohoo! Move in day! Moving is great when someone else is doing the heavy lifting up and down stairs. I feel bad for the driver and his wife, the day laborers were no call/no show and they are doing all the unloading themselves.
You'd think that ensuring labourers showing up to gigs would be a major part of their business... or at least have a few stand-by guys on call...
You'd think. The whole process seems needlessly complicated and has 4 or 5 layers of companies involved. The driver apparently relies on a dispatcher to supply them with local labor. The driver called several other contacts to find some labor unsuccessfully. The wife normally does inventory and helps minorly with lifting.
Sally Kirkland freaks. That was a lot of fake boobs. I don't remember that one getting heavy rotation on MTV.
Whatever you do, don’t go on Twitter. Louis CK performed stand-up last night. Not what you’d call “intelligent discourse” occurring at the moment.
Michael Ian Black jumped to his defense not for what he did back in the day but for trying a tentative comeback and he is getting absolutely lambasted for it.
If it isn’t the Horseshoe Effect at full capacity, I don’t know what it. There is no compromise or middle ground. It is AGREE WITH MY PRINCIPLES OR FUCKING DIE.
Personally, I don’t care if Louie came back or not. But this whole nuance-free style of argument against anyone not 100% adhering to the company script is exhausting and makes people look mindless and stupid. Not to get politicky in here, but that sort of all or nothing mentality is what always keeps the liberal voting block from winning. The inability to hold your nose for a greater cause.
Intolerance of opinion will continue to be the Left’s cancer just as anti-intellectualism is cancer to the Right. And despite the fact that they can see it hurting them, they continue to bend knee to their core beliefs like a crackhead.
The left has intolerance of opinion, and the right has anti-intellectualism... and intolerance of opinion. I have a theory about this phenomenon and it's the idea that we no longer have "exile" as a punishment. In the old days, if you did shit that was too serious to be forgiven, but not serious enough to like... hang you for, the option would be exile. You would be shunned from your community, ultimately forcing you to leave and start over. Your punishment was essentially to lose everything you had built to that point, but you had the opportunity to start over somewhere else. With the world as connected as it is, there is no "starting over." There's no new community to rebuild in; you either get welcomed back into your old community (which is uncomfortable and probably shouldn't happen), or you are constantly living your punishment and never able to move on (which probably shouldn't happen either).
Maybe, but it's from a distance... Seems like we were just a wee bit hard on the lass, and she got scared away.
