Biden could probably win by promising to resign after Inauguration Day. I think the devils we know are making the devil we don’t know look attractive.

Or it shouldn’t be a fine, but criminal prosecution for the executives responsible.

It’s worse than that. Conservatives want everything to change. Back to the early 1800’s.

You’re just not killing enough people. At some point the heirs decide to give it all away.

The only worse choice for CEO is Chambers. She had a valid reason to just fire his ass. If he’s not willing to do what he’s told to do, then he’s not willing to do his job. It looks to me like the board wanted to get rid of him for reasons that had nothing to do with cancer. Why reference the cancer at all?

I have the feeling the only reason they didn’t just get rid of him was because of the cancer diagnosis. Trying to be “nice”. But even if the cancer was the reason for not just cutting him loose, there’s no reason to bring it up.

How does the CEO not know referencing the cancer would expose them to liability? Did they not sit down with their lawyers before sitting down with him?

Now they’re probably going to lose in court and be forced to pay him off.

They should fire Chambers.

Perhaps people on Lemmy just aren’t learning anything.

That which doesn’t kill you probably isn’t a parasitic wasp sting.

You’re also assuming she gets 8 hours of work a day at her normal rate. It’s not like she’s salaried.

Roll tide!

“She was turning tricks on the street. I was one of her regulars. After awhile she said she didn’t want to charge me anymore, so here we are.”

Luckily, my wife and I met in high school, so she doesn’t have to rely on me for a cover story.

I’m not sure how you reached the conclusion that they don’t have wood to gnaw on. They do.

Just one?

Well, if you had more than one, you’d find that they are all different, with different personalities, and you wouldn’t be so quick to assume you know all guinea pigs because of your experience with your sole pig.

Apparently it will herald an era of crappy horror movies.

Naw, the potato has friends. Mental health is still broken.

She’s actually very sweet. She just managed to luck into the discovery that biting gets us to move faster.

Guinea pig bites are the worst.

It’s not the force of the bite, although it does hurt (they bite through wood after all). It’s the humiliation from having one of the most fragile, easy to kill pets decide that it can express its displeasure by biting your hand.

Damn little meat potato. The only reason you can even bite me is because you’re so damn fragile I can’t risk dropping you. Also, the reason I’m holding you is to trim your nails because you don’t wear them down naturally since you live your entire life on padded flannel blankets. Where do you even get off having displeasure to express?

If you weren’t so damn cute, you’d be on the grill.

Hey, India. Maybe you should try urging then strongly.

I think it would be more useful to dramatically increase taxes on unoccupied or AirBnB properties. Increase penalties on slumlord behavior. Similar things to gently (or not so gently) discourage people from hoarding residential real estate.

Otherwise, if someone was renting my house and they wanted to buy it at $100/month, it would probably take more than 800 years to buy (if I could afford to get it into shape to maximize the appraisal).

He said, “The sheriff is near.”

Party pooper.

Yeah, I’m not saying it was random chance either. I’m just amused by imagining the possibility of some poor sad sack who got it and can’t figure out why everyone hates him.
