Helberg says he did not wake up when the ship hit land a few meters away from the house.
But we woke up to the neighbor loudly ringing the doorbell. He said: Haven't you seen the ship?
It was quite absurd. When I looked out the window, there was a huge ship's bow there, says Helberg.
Lol I love this guy
I was in the pool!!
I've always thought that the average person has less than 2 arms. But now that you mention babys... I wonder if there are enough pregnant women where the average person has more than 2 arms instead.
At least the manager seemed to have a good sense of humor about it.
Maybe she's just being polite?
Oooo we need more Silo memes!
Edit: Don't let your dreams be dreams.
Especially if you're laid up for a while afterwards.
Can confirm. Game is dope.
In Colorado, one of my wife's friends is what most people (I say this, knowing the Lemmy political scale is vastly different from most Americans) would consider super liberal. She's also very outspoken and politically active, so she has no problems telling everyone she knows how to vote on every issue.
Last election, we were at her house and she mentioned that she was against ranked choice voting. When I asked her why, she pointed to her voting guide provided by the Colorado Democratic Party. She just blindly accepts that because the party says it's bad, then it's bad.
After seeing that, it wasn't surprising to me when the proposition failed.
When you put it that way, that's fucking insane. $2 million in retirement plus having my house paid off has always been my retirement goal. Granted, by the time I reach that goal, inflation and the cost of living will probably make that not enough.
Still, to think this asshat makes that in less than 2 weeks is fucking ridiculous. Like why even work at that point? I realize "work" for a CEO is mostly golfing and expensive dinners, but still...

Joe Biden is the worst US president in history.

It would appear that, in light of Biden failing and floundering, the Dems sent their minions out to foment panic about Project 2025. It won't work.

I regret voting for Trump.
My husband is laid off and can't find a job and my kids' credit scores have tanked bc of his student loan policy.
This is not what I voted for.

Unfortunately for our entertainment, her Facebook profile has been entirely purged of her MAGA history.

I'm officially unemployed. Today I was RIF'd from the government. It's such a surreal and humbling moment; one that I knew was coming but secretly thought and wished would never happen. I started working for SBA in 2010 during my senior year of college. I came in as an emergency hire and was placed on the student career experience program. I worked in accounts payable for 14 years before moving to contracting in October. I worked remotely since 2017 when I was placed on a reasonable accommodation after shattering my kneecap while walking into work. I worked countless hours from different hospitals I was inpatient in from 2017-2023. I relied on work to get me through many difficult times in my life while I was alone in the hospital or angry at the universe. It kept me mentally sane for many years and gave me a purpose in life. I took a lot of pride over the team I managed and the work that we produced. I wouldn't change one thing about my federal career and hope one day I can continue it.
For now, it is time to figure out what is next for me. To all my fellow government workers, I want to say it's been a privilege being able to work with you. The government is full of a lot of highly intelligent and hard working individuals. I know that we will all be ok after the dust has settled and make a game plan for what is next. I have met so many great people in the government and hope the best for everyone!
For everyone that knows someone in the federal workforce, please check in on them. This is a scary and sad time for most of us and we are not ok at the moment and are faced with some scary unknown challenges that we have not faced before.

Trumper has since scrubbed her Facebook page of all things political, including pictures of her husband in a MAGA hat. She is now claiming to never have made political posts.

I'm posting this not to start a debate over politics but just for a generalized statement so please do not come at me or try to start a debate. I do not nor have I ever talked politics for the sheer reason that everyone has an opinion and is absolutely entitled to that opinion; that's why we vote and I am not about to go at it with someone because our beliefs arent the same. I have recently had too many people flooding my text messages or DMs forcing their opinion. I even had one friend end our friendship because I politely stated I do not talk politics and I was not going that rabbit hole with her.
The fact of the matter is like it or not the president is who it is. I have worked for the federal government for 15 years and it is a scary thing right now. [Redacted] also military and we don't know what our jobs will look like in the future. We're rolling with things as they come out and will adjust as needed but a lot of things I receive or read from a lot of posts have somewhat taken me by surprise and do not wish to be apart of it.
I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a federal worker.
Right now I'm working on my resume. I'm open to work, preferably in finance as I have my accounting degree. If you know of anyone hiring please let me know.
As I have mentioned before, please do not post your political beliefs as I am not interested in debates or opinions. During this time, please remember that government employees are workers at risk of losing their job. It's scary as most of us have dedicated our careers to government and government operations is all that most of us know and now will be forced to look outside for other options and start over. No matter which side everyone is one, no one wants to lose their job so please be mindful of this. Remember that government employees are humans too and it is a very scary time for most of us and our families.
