What a goddamn comment. Informative, thoughtful, and an amazing rebuttal without being condescending. Is best of a thing on here?

Idk if that's out of control or not anymore, what's a dollar worth? But I've avoided goodwill for Habitat for a while because there were various stories over the years about shady things. Now, they're big and basically all franchises so some of this was always gonna happen; lawsuits w/ racist/sexist/otherwise discriminatory managers will eventually happen once a company gets large enough, and franchises have a lot of independent control which leads to a lot of variance, good and bad, at different locations.

But they're also pretty shit at the corporate level: https://www.cracked.com/article_33357_15-impressively-evil-things-goodwill-has-done.html

So overall, on the astronomically low bar of regular evil corporate behavior, they're middling, but you should probably donate/shop elsewhere if you want to do the most good.

Milquetoast but your point stands.

This sacrifice affirms that no one would go through with this if it was a "choice" or "for attention" or whatever the shitbags are saying these days. Imagine giving up the strength of a woman's immune system and the ease of childbirth for the horrid experience of a man with a cold!

My cat is always playful and energetic lol but he's a wild one at 1 1/2. Got a 2nd one and she's helping calm him down thankfully, she's just also the sweetest damn thing, purrs at the drop of a hat

The problem with this argument is it only works for people who show up to vote, and if the Dems don't get people, particularly young people, inspired enough to do so, then they'll lose. Fear only works as a motivator for so long, at some point, you need to provide a carrot and not just the stick.

See what you can get by putting some subtle feelers out. Talk to a recruiter or two. Best time to search for a job is while you have one, but you don't have to commit to it full time unless shit really hits the fan. You're more likely to get written up than fired initially anyway if he's not the owner, erratic or not he has to answer for that.

Continue working towards whatever certifications you want in the meantime, especially if the job pays/reimburses you for it.
