Buy a gun or two. Nothing in this country has more rights than a gun.

Jagged Little Pill is the first album that comes to mind for this question, but if I’m honest I’d skip the track “Perfect”.

I’m just surprised that you can see the removed comment. Every time one of mine gets yanked and I click the link I get an error message.

There would be a power vacuum, probably a few murders/suicides/defenstrations, and the elections scheduled for a few months from now will probably be postponed during the struggle for leadership of the country. My guess is the powers that eventually take over will agree to pull out of Ukraine, conduct a few show trials, and do whatever else they think they have to in order for the west to lift the sanctions and unlock the oligarch’s accounts.

It would please me greatly to know that Ukraine will outlive Putin.

I had a '56 chevy pickup that I got running in high school and had to sell when moving away to college. It was a quilt of parts that would fit (still the original 235 under the hood) but there was no way I was going to move to a big city with no AC, no power steering, three on the tree and all the safety features of a midcentury crumple zone with tires. I miss it tho.

The best way to handle it is not to. Don’t agree or disagree, don’t discuss, don’t offer suggestions or commiserate. Your responsibility is for you to get through the workday. Your job is your job, which I assume is not to be A’s sounding board or to hound B for slacking. If A keeps bitching about B, ask A not to. If A asks you why, be honest and say that the constant complaining is stressing you out and you’re not the proper outlet for this. If B needs to pick up the pace, that’s for her manager to deal with.

in all cases, be professional.

It’s a legitimate strategy!

For classic rock, the Dazed and Confused soundtracks are phenomenal. I’m also partial to the Hackers soundtrack for early/mid '90s electronic music.

The Hyperion books by Dan Simmons.

It’s about as icky as looking at my bank account and my bank highlighting a transfer to an investment house and suggesting its’ own in the same line.

I’m enjoying it. It has a “not yet critical mass” feel to it. There are a few features I’d like to see (Hide Thread, something like RES, etc) and there could be more traffic, but I genuinely don’t miss Reddit.

I’d like to move it just because it’s the first argument out of people’s mouths against making election day a national holiday (as it should be).
