  • I’m gonna be honest, I don’t remember the last time I had a problem with windows. I had some issues getting a media server set up that ended up being the router my ISP gave me, I had an issue with the 11 “upgrade” that ended up being a BIOS setting. But the last time I had an issue that was actually Windows related was on a previous computer, and my desktop is damn near geriatric.

    Fun fact, John Brown had chronic back pain from carrying around the weight of his massive balls.

    Actual fact: Americans don’t learn about John Brown because John Brown’s existence highlights a lot of ugly truths about American history, the American people at the time, and how corrupted the core of the American experiment really is.

    8-4 to your payroll people is 8 hours less a lunch break. Because they expect you took it and went home early.

    Again it’s not something that can’t be fixed, and I’m sure once in a while it would be fine. But a bunch of people doing it all the time probably causes enough extra work to need to hire someone just to take care of it.

    The most unreasonably rigid people you’ve ever met will work in accounting and payroll.

    This is less common than you think, and gets pretty hazy pretty fast where it is true.

    The real reason is payroll and accounting.

    If you leave an hour early to take your lunch, it looks like you only worked 7 hours.

    Could this be fixed? Probably. But accountants are notoriously salty about anything that threatens to crack the mold.




  • In medieval times that’s certainly true. Egyptian laborers were paid. Generally in food and housing, as coinage wouldn’t be introduced for quite some time. Especially skilled laborers were sometimes given land. Egypt had a very routinized farming season and most laborers were farmers with nothing to farm in the off season.

    Skilled stone masons could kinda go wherever so locking them in to work with taxes was a great way to get them to leave.

    Fun fact, they had a daily meal of a particularly thick beer that had chunks of bread in it. And one time they went on strike when they ran out of wigs.

    9/11 was a pretext for doing what they wanted to do anyway. Kind of like how the Olympics in LA was the pretext they needed to militarize the police there.

    Finding a pretext isn’t hard, but sometimes events outside of your control just kinda hand one to you.

    The woman on the left, Holly Fisher, had an affair after entering politics after taking this picture and faded in to meme land.

    The woman on the right, Reem Slaleh Raiyshi, died carrying out suicide bombing at Erez Crossing.

    I get the point you’re trying to make here but these two women are not the same. One’s a freedom fighter/terrorist who was obviously ready to die for what she believed in, and the other is some dumb bitch from West Virginia virtue signaling for clout.
