Humans are social animals. If you can’t rizz your bosses to promote you and your coworkers to help you, then you’re stuck and alone.
Cover/close just your dominant eye. Black.
Okay. Now your non-dominant one. Nothing.
Nothing is meant by this, really. It’s a neat trick and I like to share. It doesn’t invalidate your statement, because one sense does not constitute our whole being.
Boot loops suck.
I appreciate having two bathrooms. We can poop at the same time!
Plus the bathroom by the bedrooms is the one that hides all our shame. The one near the living room is whimsical and slutty – the exact takeaway about us I want guests to have.
(It’s got a lot of cartoon boobs and butts in there, some interracial sapphic mermaid art, a small painting done in the style of classic “ship art” of a penis breaching the waves like a whale. And of course the toilet has both Moby Dick and the 1970’s photo-illustrated version of “The Joy of Sex” for reading materials.)
And if no one visits, they can justify selling the land, leasing the oil and mineral rights, or handing over ‘management’ to some random company that’ll run it like any public good that has been entrusted to capitalism.
Boring disasters are the best disasters.
It also makes sense if he’s manipulating the stock market.
I wonder who sold off their oil futures yesterday afternoon and bought stocks.
Gluing hooks to their foreheads sounds like something that budget cosplayer would do to make a Loki costume.
Then don’t put yourself in a position to defend him. Silence is free.
People already know that the justice system is skewed toward the wealthy.
We know that if someone has enough money, they can rape others, then offer them a payoff and an NDA in exchange for silence. We know that people who cannot afford intensive legal representation tend to take NDAs, because often a legal accusation is dragged out to the point where it is financially ruinous. It’s common practice amongst some people accused of various misdeeds to counter-sue on trumped-up claims of libel (or whatever) that are designed to force the accuser into a dire financial situation, to get them to accept an NDA. (Along with all the other reasons someone chooses not to go after a powerful assailant - threats of legal harassment, threats of violence, having been killed and dropped into Lake Michigan or the Caribbean, having your tips ignored by law enforcement, being told by law enforcement that you deserved it, etc.)
This is a circumstance where the devil does not need advocates. They have paid advocates who are entirely too good at their job, plus social constructs and a legal system that helps to enforce their hegemony.
