Originally Christmas celebrations were 12 days. It’s still accepted to keep an decorations up until the 12th day, so that means you can start taking things down on Epiphany

A new priest has to replace another priest who recently retired. As he’s taking confession, the woman on the other side says she sinned because she performed a blowjob. The priest had no idea of the correct penance for this. Just then a young acolyte passes so he leans out of his chair and asks the boy: “how much do they give around here for a blowjob?” The boy promptly answers: “One snicker bar, sir.”
Yeah, that’s the kinda stuff going around in the 80s.
Sounds like the USA elections
Satan: we don’t torture people with thorns and nails here. That’s the other guy’s department. Same for locusts, killing firstborn, you get the idea.
Try dubbing for ruining native-language movies.
Classic schooled actors with theater experience are being replaced by young actors using basic conversational speech and volume. More natural but not that easy to understand.
It’s not personal, it’s just business.
That’s my brother. When the boss asks to do overtime he opens a spreadsheet that calculates what every hour of overtime actually puts in the bank account. It’s surprisingly low. Then he asks the boss to make it worth his time.
set me achievable targets properly recompensed
In my brother’s place they changed the end of year bonus. It’s no longer on an individual level but as a group. And the targets van change at any time. Who are they trying to fool.
I think myself, I’ll probably get the “you’re indispensable but they’re isn’t any budget for a raise” this year
I just say it’ll be done by Wednesday and next time act like a professional and give some time.
Some other guy I know will get it done, book a crazy amount of overtime, mail the thing and stay home from that overtime until Thursday.
And one other guy would just call the manager at weird hours the entire weekend asking for classifications.
I know some anarchistic people, okay.
People: “Government should be run like a business”
Government: “Speed enforcement is now done by a private business. You’re welcome.”
People: “They’re now trying to squeeze every less cent out of us with speed enforcement!”
Business: “Efficiency!”
Their precious economies can’t survive beyond 2050. Damages from climate disasters will be big enough to make every economy shrink and make the Great Depression look like child’s play.
Not for a lack of trying, but nothing small scale works well.
and drive trucks for work.
Over here (in Europe) they just changed that. Reduced tariff is only for trucks registered to a company. Private persons pay full. It cut back on truck sales drastically.
I work with people in three different time zones. There is always someone having a flower festival, religious day or national holiday. Nobody gets offended for forgetting a holiday or if they did they don’t last long.
Taxes are gone.
Everybody: yay!
Police: protection money and speed traps it is
Everybody: oh no!
The heat index — a combination of temperature and humidity — hit 58.5 degrees Celsius (137 Fahrenheit) Tuesday morning in Rio, the highest index ever recorded there. Actual temperatures dropped slightly on Wednesday, but were forecast to rise again to 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) on Thursday.
Yeah, that’s Celsius.
Maybe it’s just a volume thing
Yes. Once a certain volume and popularity has been reached Eternal September happens and mainstream users flood in carrying alot of opinions, followed by companies who want to advertise to those new users.
How that works in a federated system is going to be interesting. There is no central site or node. Maybe there will be a separate commercial federation network.

When it’s propaganda and misinformation dressing up as free speech, yes.
I have a coffee joke but you’d roast me for it
Let me guess, it comes in 50 shades of grey
