You don’t have to be guapped to work out in general.

I know I'm a little late but wanted to chime in re; DEI training/initiatives/etc. When i started working in that consultative space years back it was a lot less corporatized than it is today. Additionally, I see a lot more low effort grifting today from well meaning folks (or losers who intentionally are just in it for the $$$).

Kind of sad how things turned out from then till now. Where I worked we had about...100k employees globally. There were maybe 20 - 30 folks responsible for any kind of training, subsequent scaling, escalations, etc. It was exhausting but we had a lot more flexibility and rope to do great work. I believe now there are 100s of "DEI" program managers/specialists/etc but its all so disorganized and red taped

If there is one thing everyone who posts here can agree upon is, f*** the NIMBYs.

Finally, a cause I can get behind

 

[Belgium]

Most people obsessed with taking all the supplements or other small things that might give you an extra 5% are not even doing the other 95% first. Wild to me

I was definitely one of those people with tubs of preworkout and creatine but at least I had a proper lifting regimen.
Sometimes you'd see dudes practically snorting Jack3d pre-workout, only to wander around the gym like they're lost or lifting with horrible posture.

I remember taking a preworkout for at least several months that seemed a bit too strong to be legit. It was called Craze.
Unsurprisingly, the og formula was later banned when it turned out to contain an illegal amphetamine.
Whatever was in that ****, best believe that was well above a 5% boost

Jim Jordan Demands Major Ad Companies Explain Why They Won’t Advertise On Truth Social

Jim Jordan, who heads the House Judiciary Committee and its subcommittee on “the weaponization of the federal government,” continues to use “weaponize the power of the federal government” to punish…

www.techdirt.com

In the wake of Donald Trump’s Truth Social going public and revealing that it’s only earning around $1 million/quarter (i.e., a few hundred thousand dollars per month) because no one but scammers want to advertise on a small platform full of very clueless people, Jordan is pretending that it violates the law for big ad firms to not buy ads on sites dominated by conspiracy theorists and grifters.

free market though

 

[Frankie Blue]

Wait how did this random dude all of a sudden start showing up on Rogan and the View etc.? What has he done to earn anything? It's like a replacement Candace.

Nah, Unlike Candace, Coleman is actually pretty smart and well educated but he just leans slightly right (imo) and is actively trying to ride the anti woke podcast gravy train. I will say he is known to make some valid arguments mainly on his own podcast.

The problem with these guys is that they're so fixated on become popular that when they're on right wing podcasts like Joe Rogan they offer little to no push back against the hosts because they want to leech off their audience.

 

[Mark Antony]

Knew I wasn't the only one who recognized Charlagmane's misinformed *** cheapened the DEI discussion. I don't know who is giving him this push assuming he's a revered black voice. Easily my least favorite Daily Show guest host.

Diageo is a British company. Good luck forcing them to do anything, Jim.

Probably late on this. This doesn't seem like she's in RGB territory but what do I know

 

[Mark Antony]

Didn't realize she was 69 but that seems like an overreaction.

 

[dmbrhs]

RBG ruined her legacy by not retiring when she should have. Obama asked her to multiple times.

Edit: to add, when these lifetimers and career politicians keep hanging on, it's not usually them, it's their staffers who know they'll be out of jobs. They're the ones to blame for people like Diane Feinstein's corpse being rolled out for years. Thankfully, she croaked so we don't have to deal with that anymore.

 

[mplsdunk]

They also make a killing so why would they leave and be just a regular person?

 

[Air Champa]

Sixty nine ain't that old assuming she's talking care of her health. I'd be more concerned if she were in her 80s.

The best way to avoid a repeat of 2020 is to vote and keep Republicans away from the presidency.

 

[dmbrhs]

They also make a killing so why would they leave and be just a regular person?

Lifetime government benefits. No excuse. For example, if Lauren Boebert wins one more term (same with MTG), they get lifetime 100% health benefits. That's a big reason why they are in this job and want to hang on. Yet, thy vote against those benefits for literally every American.

 

[mplsdunk]

It’s the bribes they get and vacations and everything else that comes along with power. They get all sorts of **** thrown their way. They won’t give that up or ever change it because it would be going against their interest.

 

[cragmatic]

Thought they were supposed to have the public’s best interest in mind

 

[mplsdunk]

You gotta watch that John Oliver Supreme Court episode. There is nothing in place to keep them honest.

She’s still a white liberal icon

 

[RustyShackleford]

RGB will always be an icon to millennial and Gen X affluent white female liberals because her last act of consequence was telling a black person that the point liberal experiment was not making the lives on everyone better... but about her own personal feelings

This was when she became a WHITE to me. WHAT A MOMENT. I say this as a Proud black MAN

 

[RustyShackleford]

Biden gonna roll out a new student loan forgiveness plan this week.

Not as expansive as the one the Supreme Court shot down, but this one went through rulemaking and hopefully has a better chance at surviving.

However, I believe Roberts will still be hostile to it...
