It’s a tried and true gameplay for fascists throughout history.
They’re all typically narcissists, and they all feel like a group wronged them somehow. It’s their perceived right to punish them when they gain power for the imagined transgressions they made because they didn’t give them what they wanted.
Hitler hated Jews because he believed they were the reason he was unsuccessful in his career and other endeavors and blamed their machinations for his failures.
This is the correct answer. It sounds like they’re admitting to perjury. So the case needs to be re-evaluated or set for a mistrial if it was a critical witness testimony that’s been proven to be lying under oath.
This was worth the read.
Hmmm, I guess that makes sense. It’s been a while since I’ve bought a gas mower, roughly the late 90’s/00’s hah, been using electric/battery since then.
Most mower engines are 2-strokes, they’re designed to burn oil as lubrication basically, it’s added to the gas. You don’t need to change the oil. Unless it’s a 4 stroke engine (unusual due to size/complexity), or you’ve got a transmission or some other motorized mechanical behavior.
Wouldn’t let me rent when the housing crash hit and I couldn’t afford the place, wouldn’t let me have friends over late at night because they thought my d&d group were a bunch of drug dealers. All around a miserable experience.
Still overvalued by many, many thousands of percents right now. Should be worth <$0.05, at best.
That’s not what happened.
Having it in neutral is also important in case your clutch is slipping. If you have it in gear and hold the Clutch + Brake down, and your clutch friction plate is slipping/grabbing even when fully depressed, it can be just enough friction to put a real strain on the starter with the extra load. Over time, this will burn through starter after starter until it’s addressed.
Maybe not this one. But maybe a 2025 congress could if everyone shows up to vote.
Why would he pick a fight with the only group in the world that currently supports him?
Do it! I got one of Madisonseating.com on a sale they had going and have zero regrets, other than I wish I did this much sooner.
The issue comes down to imperialism imo.
Western societies have an imperialist belief that we should be at the head of the table when it comes to the world order, politics, and having a say about what happens outside of our borders.
This is ingrained in all of us from a very young age by design. They’ve been doing it for millennia, and it’s been working pretty well, so no need to change tactics.
It’s also why non-western nation-states aren’t as involved directly in the politics of other nations. It’s not really a part of their ethos as a culture.
This is good advice. I was going to type something up, but this pretty much covers it. Listen to this person please OP.
Not solely. Kids shouldn’t have such an unhealthy image and mindset pushed by the array of social media influencers out there. It’s always easier to blame the parents, and they certainly have some responsibility here and shouldn’t be absolved; but it’s a symptom of a much deeper problem in our society that lets this happen.
Kids will get things from other kids to do/try behind their parents back, tale as old as time. We need to fight against the portrayal of beauty standards being equated to the value of a woman.
After we do that, then it’s solely on the parents. But not until then.
This is unfortunately, by design.
It’s a bad design, but it is working as intended by the people who fought against establishing a true democracy in the US originally.
The electoral system and gerrymandering make it so a two party solution is the only real system that works; and one of those parties will always be moving away from the other, while the other has to move closer to the middle every time to “recapture” the voters who also shifted further from center.
It’s a bad system, and it needs an overhaul/update desperately. Other countries that have established democratic systems of government since the US was established (and is technically, on record, the “oldest” democracy. If you squint.) have superior constitutions and systems of government that ensure free and fair electoral practices where candidates don’t have to appeal to moderates because even edge case parties are still represented in their house of representatives.
Hopefully, clean water.
This was literally an “Ask Lemmy” question, which pulls on individual personal experience for responses, so I’m not sure what else you would have been expecting.
I work with MBAs all day every day. Nonstop. They’re the vast majority of my touchpoints as a lifelong software engineer/DBA that manages several teams. I’ve been in the industry for 25+ years and have worked for multiple large (enterprise tier) medium, and small (startup) companies across multiple states including owning my own consulting company and interfaced directly with C-types that held nothing but MBAs.
So, not uninformed, but it is anecdotal. In the sense that this matches my life experience for 25+ years of working closely with MBA types on hundreds of projects during that time. Someone else might have different experiences. But I’m here answering their question so I’m going to talk about my experiences.
There’s plenty of MBA holders that are pragmatic and “normal”. However, at the top level, MBAs either attract, or turn people into narcissistic sociopaths, because the majority of narcissistic sociopaths I know and have worked with, hold MBAs.
Take from that what you will.
Edit: Apparently he took away a downvote. Getting a sneaking suspicion this guy might have an MBA. :) Not sure why you’re downvoting my life experiences, but sure guy. You win.
Literally had a stroke and lost part of his brain and became an asshole who’s a lot less empathetic. It, sadly, happens with strokes.
