@NataTheScribe It’s really been a minute since I’ve seen the team this decimated in week 4 lol

I’m not saying it’s right but the job of HR is fundamentally to protect the company. That’s it.

[bailey @Baileymoon15]

my first job out of college was at a law firm in dc and one of the attorneys basically told me to get naked and fuck him and i went to HR and was told “i was too young to understand his sense of humor”

I was a kid at the first expansion game. Carolina has two consistent legacies. Great linebackers (Beason, Morgan, Luke, Davis,etc.) and a great return game (Bates, Steve smith, Ginn). It drives me insane that they haven’t invested in a great returner. It’s a low investment too

@vyelours This will be very distracting to the guy fucking him in the ass

I don’t think people outside the US realize how patient and forgiving Americans are. But when we grow weary, we grow weary fast, and with great resolve.

From Martin Iles, reposted:

Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I've realised something.

The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned.

We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, "Freedom!" because we truly think we're as free as they are.

Wrong. We're not. Not even close. The laws, the mindset, and the behaviour, is totally different in this regard.

Most of all, the governments are totally different. The USA's convictions around core freedoms are on a scale we do not share.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump wins the popular vote, the electoral college, the House, and the Senate... a man who, in every other Western country, is held in open derision, if not contempt.

For these and other reasons, we are not the same.

Yet the West, including Australia, fully expect to rely on the USA for our very survival.

If the world turns bad (which will happen - only a question of time), then the whole West, without America, is toast.

So, you may ask - if we're not very aligned ideologically, then it must be that we bring something to the party militarily?

Well, no... actually... we don't matter that much militarily.

The USA has about 470 ships in its navy, including 11 aircraft carriers, 69 submarines, 75 destroyers... plus 110 new ships in the pipeline.

Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines. The UK does a little better, with about 60.

Meanwhile, the US has over 14,000 military aircraft. A staggering number.

Australia has 252 military aircraft. The UK has 556.

The US army has just shy of 1,000,000 uniformed personnel in its military. Australia has about 45,000.
The USA spends 3.4% ($968 billion) of its GDP on defence. Australia spends 2% ($36.4 billion). The US spends as much as the next 15 largest military-spending countries (including China) combined.

The USA has a fighting culture. The men shoot things (a lot) and hunt things, the veterans get favoured in everything from parking spots to boarding planes. A uniformed young man is thanked in the street a dozen times a day.

"Oh, the Americans and their guns!" we say, in our smug way. Yes, they have a warrior culture. We do not. We don't have to, because we're a leech on theirs.

How many young British men are willing to fight for their country? Now ask the same regarding young American men. The difference is about as wide as it could be.

Militarily, we don't offer squat.

Meanwhile, look at the way Australia works against America's interests by loving on China. China made us rich and we stay close. This is a Marxist regime with expansionist aims.

Again, you have to spend time in the USA to realise just how vast a gulf there is between us on China.

Europe, too. They let China have their way everywhere from Germany to Greenland, all the while importing Islam and sending their own people to court for saying hurty words.

Somehow, we have landed the deal of a lifetime with the USA that says, "when the baddies come, you'll save us ok?" Because we can't save ourselves.

And we live in peace. But we keep gnawing away at freedoms, keep enabling China, and get flabby and disinterested about our military because Uncle Sam's got it.

And, let's be honest, Americans are widely looked down on. To add insult to injury, we don't think that highly of our protectors.

So, the USA is finally saying "enough." I am here, I can tell you what the vibe is, and that's it. Trump is doing what people want in this regard. They're over it.

And we come across all shocked and hard done by. We behave like people with no self-insight at all.

Yes, the global alliance system is all over the place now. From America's perspective, it's about time.

And I must say, though I be a proud Australian, I am forced to agree. Something has to change.

@quietly_rich Shame

[Clyde Ketchum @NakedKarate]

And government gets reinvented over and over, this assumes ALL government is good for the people. Most aren’t. the goal is to preserve the American version of government. Tell me you don’t understand the point without telling me.

[Clyde Ketchum @NakedKarate]

So the richest men own some of the most profitable businesses? That’s not news. Unless there is something else you’re getting at you sound simple minded

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

I don’t know if the planters have playoff potential this year but it’d make for a helluva playoff game

[John Ellis @1PantherPlace]

Emotions run high in a violent game. Buffalo came in with a week off and a list of bad intentions. I missed this live, I was on the elevator going downstairs to the locker room. Looks like something that happens from time to time in this league. Hopefully, nobody gets any suspensions on either side.

[Clyde Ketchum @NakedKarate]

@ChrisVanHollen You are an embarrassment to Maryland

[Clyde Ketchum @NakedKarate]

@JoshNorris He’s also shown a tendency to show up against bigger opponents

[Clyde Ketchum @NakedKarate]

@EricG1247 You’re obviously wrong because I still see your drivel. Sorry you’re not in an echo chamber anymore

[Clyde Ketchum @NakedKarate]

@JoshNorris @theqbschool He is so deeply hot cold. I see value in going from terrible to deeply polar in his success, but this is year three. I’d be afraid to pick up a fifth year option

[Clyde Ketchum @NakedKarate]

@Sheena_Marie3 I was curious your thoughts on Bryce. He runs so hot-cold. I feel like he is just young and is great at having a short memory.

[Clyde Ketchum @NakedKarate]

D or R, I’ve always found this argument hysterical. You understand work can get done during the worlds slowest game, right?

[PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 @patriottakes]

🚨 Video of Trump golfing at his Virginia golf club today. This is what he was doing instead of working to keep the government open.

[Clyde Ketchum @NakedKarate]

@ML3democrats E - I would actively do campaign work against him

[Clyde Ketchum @NakedKarate]

@jonfavs @StephenM Why don’t you stop changing the subject and admit it

[Clyde Ketchum @NakedKarate]

@JDVance this is such a good idea and yet another way to strip them of their fake power

[Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital]

If JD Vance doesn't dress up as his own meme for Halloween it will be one of the missed opportunities of the generation. White House, make this happen.

@donwinslow Stop telling lies
