The New Coffee Room

I think it’s inappropriate and will direct the post accordingly.

I take about a dozen prescription medications a day.

Can’t wait for my 900% rebate.

What’s your evidence that the killer thought Kirk’s words were violence? I only saw him labeling them as hateful. The same designation your party’s leaders are giving to words that they don’t like.

Yes one could phrase a prohibition of libel that way, for example. But Chomsky was referring to what we constantly saw among the woke left and, now that they have institutional power, the woke right. Namely a category of speech they find particularly offensive to them.

Those who the law protects but doesn’t necessarily bind, and those who the law binds but doesn’t necessarily protect.

These are two consecutive headlines in WaPo today.

Chomsky once said “I’m all for free speech but….” isn’t some middle ground. It’s how the anti-free speech side has always been expressed.

In woke times I loved pulling that out to lefties who wanted to ban hate speech speech they hated. Because invariably they claimed Chomsky as a kindred spirit and it caused them palpable discomfort to imagine themselves on the other side of this issue from him.

This account has been active almost 5 years. How is it launching today?

But yeah, I don’t blame them.

Fonzie jumped the shark.

@Mik said in Is tomorrow too soon?:

Deaths perhaps. Not murders.

We’ve posted plenty of JFK memes.

And George Floyd.

For Charlie Kirk memes? I say tomorrow because his service is today.

I don’t mean people being serious and criticizing him or dancing on his grave.

I mean the same kind of dark memes that show up after many or most celebrity deaths and other tragedies.

We have no poll option here so either write your own response or answer:

A. It’ll always be too soon
B. It’s too soon. Wait a while.
C. That’s why we have a Dark and Inappropriate Humor thread.

I feel safer knowing those Indians had to cancel their flights home.

@taiwan_girl said in Bless his heart:

By any means, I am not a President Trump fan or DOGE fan, but why didnt the guy take FMLA for example? It is not unusual for a company to offer buy outs to some people (or departments) but not others.

Maybe he did and it ran out?

I think that would qualify.

What bothers me is when they say ‘against trans rights’ to describe people against medical transition of children or proscribing biological males from female sports, prisons, etc where there is clearly a counter-right being violated.

Right but one used it to build stuff the other to try to destroy democracy and the rule of law.

Wow. Trump publicly ordering his AG to arrest his enemies, even after prosecutors say there’s no there there.

@bachophile said in 100k Fee on H1-B visas:

workaround
An L-1 visa allows companies with an international presence to transfer managers, executives, and specialized knowledge workers from a foreign branch or affiliate to the United States, if the transferring employee worked for the related entity abroad for at least one year in the last three years.

so if you work for say microsoft india, microsoft can move you to the USA, did i get that right?

Yep. I was talking to a friend’s girlfriend just last night who is on an L-1.
