  • The actor has instead acquired a soundmark from the U.S. Patent And Trademark Office on “a man saying ‘ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT’, wherein the first syllable of the first two words is at a lower pitch than the second syllable, and the first syllable of the last word is at a higher pitch than the second syllable.”

    Only when "a man" says it? That sounds problematic and easily circumvented by AI, which is what the trademark was intended to protect against.

  • See folks? The GOP isn't the cause of this cluster fuck of a situation. They are just as frustrated as you. The GOP is sympathetic. You like the GOP. They are on your side.

  • Fiscal responsibility, right here people.

  • In no particular order:

    • National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
    • Elf
    • Scrooged
    • Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
    • Star Wars Holiday Special (I know. Please don't judge too harshly)
    • Violent Night
    • A Christmas Horror Story
    • A Christmas Story
    • At least one of the Rankin/Bass stop motion christmas movies
    • How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)

    Plus others, but those are the ones that tend to get played every year.

  • My SO's company asks for presentations if a candidate for certain high-level positions make it to final rounds of interviewing. It's pitched as being a "high level overview to start a conversation, not a TED talk". They also pay the candidates for the time to put this presentation together. I think it's something like $200, but I am not sure.

    Being asked to put together a presentation is not necessarily bad, but being asked to put in your personal time without compensation is a red flag. It speaks a lot to their culture and expectations of personal sacrifice the company likely asks of their employees.

  • I've actually been in this situation when I was working as a sys admin at a webhosting company. First I played a lot of games. Once that started to get boring I taught myself how to code which set me up to transition from sys admin to development work.

  • Just a reminder that additional farm subsidies were also issued during Trumps first administration because of his trade war with China and Europe. They disproportionately benefited wealthy corporate farms over smaller individual owned farms.

    This is not a correction this is the plan.

  • It's almost like his decision to appoint loyalists and psychophants instead of qualified personnel was a bad decision.

  • I hear it when it's playing on a car radio or in an ad or on some show, and I acknowledge how music can spur an emotional response when used effectively, but I don't regularly listen to it.

    I’m assuming everyone here listens to music somewhat regularly

    As somebody who does not regularly listen to music, I am curious why you would make this assumption.

  • sigh Another narcissist CEO who cannot grasp the idea that "life", in this context, is just an employees working for themselves and pursuing their own interests instead of working for others to pursue corporate interests.

  • Is it less common than it used to be or are you just becoming more aware of it?

  • Absolutely. His ego could not accept the loss so he decided to make it his idea, ignoring that he has the power to unilaterally release the files without a law from congress.

    But, if there were so many angry Republicans, as the article suggests, their anger is not resulting in a change in behavior and is effectively useless. Even MTG has made her frustrations moot by resigning instead of standing against Trump.

  • Only after Trump told them to.

  • Assuming that I am aware of the perfect predictability machine and it's affect on the situation: I move to the other side of the lever and push it. They predictability machine would be correct in its prediction that I would not pull the lever and nobody has to die.

  • Voltron?

  • And yet they all fall in line when it's time to c vote. How angry can they really be?

  • One byte at a time?

  • Yes, that was the point I was trying to make. Guess I missed on my messaging though.
