Bold of him to attack a US consulate like that

"Murderer-State of Israel" goes pretty hard.

"The dockers state it clearly, we will not stain our hands with the blood of the people”

Hell yeah.

Love these dock workers.

I don't have any kind of diagnosis, but I have some mild suspicions, and I have basically this problem on a shorter time scale at work.

A significant part of my job duties is taking data from a bunch of tools and departments and writing up an email that lays that data out in a way that a stupid executive can understand. The emails only need to go out two or three times a day, which is good because they take about an hour to write up normally. Since that's only 2 to 3 hours of work, it should be easily doable. I cannot force myself to start working on one of these emails until about 20 minutes before it's due, at which point I rush through the process as quickly as possible.

They're usually like 20 to 30 minutes late, but my management thinks mine are really thorough so I think I've been a little shielded from consequences.

I work faster under pressure, and I think I work better under pressure also, but I also hate pressure. It's so goddamn stressful. I wish I just had a force of will to make myself start these fuckin things on time.

Ever since the tofu thread I can't quit thinking about fried Szechuan tofu with broccoli and I don't care who knows it

I've seen someone else on the site, I think z poster?, makes the comment that the reason that they can't lie or even be subtle, is that Israel freaks out so badly anytime they say anything that could even be interpreted as not getting full support to the genocide.

Understandably people keep asking them questions about this topic, and the correct move would be to be evasive, or just lie, but they aren't able to.

Plan on running my current car into the ground, but once it's time for a new one I would love to be able to purchase a BYD Dolphin. I commute by myself. I don't need a big car, I just want to get to work cheaply and without destroying the environment any more than necessary.

His previous ones have mostly been excellent so I'll be excited to see how this turns out.

Someone should be in prison for having this idea.

I worked at a McDonald's in highschool and it was the hardest and most unpleasant work I've ever done. Other food service wasn't much better and call centers are a weird mix where you trade the physical labor with the dehumanizing factor of the customer not seeing your face. One of them once told a coworker that they hoped everyone in her call center would get pancreatitic cancer.

The racism you hear in a call center is also crazy.

CW racism

spoilerTon of "thank God finally a (white) English speaker" type shit. Plus, it's the only setting where I as a very visibly white dude have ever been called a racial slur (not like "cracker" a real one).

Technically the whole bear site NSFW because I can't have my boss knowing that I'm a communist
