'Condescending' doesn't apply to you, at least. Here's jon tipping his landscaper. "Hey, José, come over here for a second. Listen, José, I don't want you to feel bad about taking this, because honestly this amount of money is meaningless to someone like me. But for you, I feel like it would be life-changing. And jon-nyc is in the business of changing lives, José. Today, it is my great privilege and honor to change yours. Take this 20 dollars, José, and go buy your five kids a Happy Meal. Tell them it's from uncle jon. There's a good lad. Now run along." I'm sure nobody has ever accused you of being condescending, Horace. That is correct. Thank you for recognizing my humility. Few people do. In fact it's one of my most-overlooked qualities. The masses have proven unable to recognize many of the things that make me superior to them, but I appreciate your perceptiveness in this regard. I'm going to leave you a shiny new penny as a special thank you for your humility.

Crazy fast.

Yep. Have a couple of friends who are pretty hardcore with an axe and shield.

Shots in arms is the answer. I can’t listen to an other nonsense until everyone understands the mission. It’s like watching people get picked off by a sniper and everyone is cowering.

Nope, but remember...It only took about 30% of us to start a revolution...

@horace said in Segregation?: @xenon said in Segregation?: I'm curious if people are happy about being in these special groups. Well, the media makes sure we never hear from those who aren’t happy about it. And all the people said, "Amen".

@aqua-letifer said in $9,999,890 short: @george-k said in $9,999,890 short: "This is a legal legitimate fundraiser," Change "fundraiser" to "herbal product" and that's exactly what the shoeless guy outside 7-11 keeps telling me. Tell him to come over to VA, it is a legitimate legal herbal product now.

The rank and file white left will never own their tacit encouragement of this sort of culturally poisonous messaging.

@axtremus said in State AGs say not so fast to relief bill provision: You misunderstand the nature of the matter. The federal government does not dictate state tax policy in this case, merely giving the states choices — accept certain conditions that come with certain federal funds, or not accept any such fund and be free from any attendant conditions. Like Title IX, Constitutionally the federal government cannot dictate states’ education policies, so Title IX gives them a choice — accept certain conditions that come with Title IX funds, or not accept any Title IX fund and be free from any attendant Title IX conditions. National relief should not come with that kind of strings attached.

When the teachers left us alone during lunch period, we would have fights with those when I was in the 8th grade. It was a blast.

Great as leftovers too. Maybe better.

Real-estate brokerages may be fine with digital signatures, but state laws may still require real signatures signed in the presence of a public notary when it comes to deeds and liens. The paperwork you sign at closing is oriented towards formalizing who holds the deed and the lien. Expect to get paper copies of things you sign, and be sure to keep the paper copies with original signatures. Good luck!

@jolly said in Long Covid Is Not Rare. It’s a Health Crisis: Heard yesterday where some Long Haul patients are moving to the Florida, etc. Some say the hotter temps are beneficial. I dunno... Worked for Stevenson (somewhat).

I think you misunderstood [image: SHOT-EXECUTION-UNDER-PRESSURE.jpg]
