    I spent my 9/11 learning that insurance aint covering the surgery I need on my tailbone and the only surgeon that will do it will only do it two days before I was supposed to fly to my family for thanksgiving vacation and recovery involves no sitting. So no thxgiving this year, no seeing family, all PTO is going towards recovery, and I'm paying out of pocket (putting in on credit, there's nothing in the pocket). Oh an no refunds on the flight ticket even with medical emergency. Happy 9/11!

    His insights are sooooo boilerplate yet he absolutely insists on being some outsider thinker. He literally just sounds like teenaged me after watching a season of Penn & Teller Bullshit.

    Has the US ever stopped sending weapons to Israel before? Like I keep seeing people say "Biden could end this with a phone call". Have we done something like that before specifically with Israel?

    The horror of not seeing that pig's massive balls.

    The horror of not seeing its asshole stretched out by a nice log.

    Also, he won't learn a single thing from this and will probably double down and move to DC in the coming years, so PLEASE use this opportunity to bully him.

    You weren't supposed to "think" of Al, you were supposed to relate to his frustrations and musings. I'd go insane if I played St. Peter with entertainment media characters. They're meant to be enjoyed not judged.

    Most Americans are genocidal freaks, I'm used to looking past that and contextualizing their involvement in a different topic, else I'd just go insane.

    My workplace, a library in a red state, might seriously be going on strike soon. The board has been invaded by rightoids and they're floating the idea of introducing a content rating system for the books (its rightoids going after libraries like you've seen) that obviously is in bad faith and will be used to ban LGBT content, left wing theory, etc. We have multiple librarians threatening to quit, and at our morning meeting our director starting talking about a work stoppage. The (open to the public) board meeting is tomorrow night, and if things go bad, its probably strike time. The old lady librarians have actually had enough of right wing bullshit and are ready to risk their incomes, it's actually happening folks. I'm just looking for general advice on doing this stuff. Like what should I prepare, who if anybody should I contact (for support)? We are not union.
