Metacortechs

Hard agree, and what's worse is that I didn't then, and even now 30+ years later don't see it as a traumatic. I know it is logically but I don't feel it.

Things leading up to it were that much worse, and the later years didn't start to get better until recently.

I could only hope!

She was fine. She left after the shooting and got a ride home. We don't talk anymore. She accused me of raping her when we were kids while she was in a troubled teen facility (I got to fly to Utah and talk to a room full of shrinks as a teenager!) got my whole family believing and accusing me... Until 10 years later when she did the same to our dad.

I feel for her, she's had it rough but I've almost died, been ostracized and demonized by my entire family and the emotional shit that came with it as a teen. But she can get fucked.

She later (several years) went on to get arrested and convicted of selling coke, as well as conspiracy to sell. Got out, invited the police in while she had meth out on the table after calling them about methallucinations.

Had a shotgun put to my head and marched into a house of gang members because I dared to try to pick my sister up from a party. Got yelled at and threatened, and left without her.

Came back a little while later to try once more and found ems/police/fire all over the place. That same person with the same shotgun blew someone elses head off after I left.

I had a friend with me, we elected not to stop the second time. A day later the police questioned us, we were subpoenaed to testify, and both got threatened by gang members for years.

Good times.

Do it! I left SW Virginia for the Pacific Northwest and it was one of the best things I've ever done for myself. Doubled my salary, with a modest CoL bump.

Had to come back to help take care of a terminally ill parent, and can't wait to leave again when they are gone.

Go easy on them, they haven't been handed their talking points yet, so are contractually obligated to continue with the last set they were given.

Thank you!

Wait wait wait.... It's not?

Speaking of Virginia, stay in the north half. Down here in the southern part is maga fucks as far as the eye can see.

One down the road just put up a huge Confederate flag and two large trump flags. Instead of fixing their collapsing roof. Priorities I guess...

No argument here. Just highlighting the absolutely insane mindset of business owners/CEOs at all scales.

BT reference as I live and breathe. I know what's going on my playlist for the drive coming up.

He can object because he's decided that's what is right. Literally nothing else matters.

The piece of shit that used to own my company is like this. His decision is correct and gospel, and if you don't agree or if it's provably false you are wrong. And it's your fault you are wrong, because he has decided it to be correct.
