I was surprised to see over 2 million people have to make up their minds by Feb 6, 2025. 8 mos salary for voluntary separation. Or risk a lay off.

Get laid off. People sit on unemployment for years. Intentionally hurt yourself the last day on the job and get disability. It's not hard. I wouldn't do 8 months. I don't agree with the tactics I mention. It's what's going to happen.

MCL is torn and can barely walk. I don't care, went to work today and did physical labor. My leg functions unlike an ACL tear. I should take it easy, but whatever. I might be an asshole here at times, but I am an honest person. I don't need government help.

If you were old enough you would. It's a good deal of you were thinking of retiring this year or next anyway.

I dunno how much more of this Trump Restoration stuff I can take.

...never mind. I haven't eaten all day and am a tad bit hyperglycemic, I suppose.

AG Pam Bondi Files Charges Against Letitia James, Kathy Hochul

Attorney General Pam Bondi made a bombshell announcement Wednesday, revealing that the Department of Justice has filed charges against the state of New York, Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and DMV Commissioner Mark Schroeder for failing to enforce immigration law.

Fuck the movies. We stopped going when the theatre had a special line as the concession stand for subscribers. LMAO. Subscribe to a movie theater? Like I said, LMAO.

I agree. I just won't go to movies anymore for a lot of reasons:

- cheap and depressing buildings
- dirty
- expensive

And then all I'd get is a lecture woven into the movie about how bad straight white men are, and how great everyone else is. I know this from several decades of that same shit.

The Illuminati Witch Hochul will be the poster girl of FOFA. Sacrificing and bleeding a raft of children won't reverse things for her.

I am guessing that DOGE must have some Epstein level dirt on Adams...

Has Adams forsaken the Freemason gig to get on the right side of history and save NYC? Of course, some of those weird oaths demand absolute obedience and require that he pull out his intestines and hang them on his shoulder if he doesn't obey, so his future between the right and wrong is subject to logistics. Question is, what blackmail will be forthcoming.

OkDOGEisAmountingToSomething says

The theater could host two viewings one that starts at the stated time, but you pay more, and one that has the previews.
These very same people who are bringing this case, would go to the cheaper one with the previews and bitch the whole time through the previews.

If they take away the previews, then the price of tickets will go up 20 to 30 percent.

I love it!

What it means that in his four year preparations for war, Trump has already mapped out the banking tributaries and has electronic rug pulls in place? He can choke the arteries of distributed monetary rivulets of the subversives? One would hopium. He can't take down their activities without taking down their money flows.

My local multiplex doesn't even bother to check your ticket anymore. You just waltz in and go to see whatever movie tickles your fancy. Not sure if true for premiers or busy weekend nights, but on your average weekday they only make $$ from popcorn and himotdogs. This is not advertised, of course, so many folks still buy tickets, LOL.

Protesting ICE is just a way to get illegals concentrated for easier capture and deportation.

OPM directs agencies to fire government workers still on probation

Office of Personnel Management (OPM) officials met with agency leaders across government Thursday and directed them to begin firing employees still in their probationary period a year or more after being hired.

Federal employees remain on probation anywhere from one to two years after being hired, depending on their agency, a status that still comes with workplace protections but makes them easier to remove.

The move could impact as many as 200,000 federal employees.

A source familiar with OPM said agency leaders have directed agencies to fire all probationary employees “with some exceptions.” It was not immediately clear what those exceptions were or the extent of discretion given to agencies.

“The probationary period is a continuation of the job application process, not an entitlement for permanent employment. Agencies are taking independent action in light of the recent hiring freeze and in support of the President’s broader efforts to restructure and streamline the federal government to better serve the American people at the highest possible standard,” an OPM spokesperson said in a statement.

The move is a reversal from an OPM directive just days earlier, when agencies were told to remove probationary employees only if they were poor performers.

Even if they did it's run by teenagers most the time. You just walk past like you're deaf. At least myself they're not gonna try to stop me. Putting hands on me would be a poor move. Call the cops? They took my ticket or scanned it. Plus a cop isn't going to waste their time over a theater ticket on one person.

Fortunately I just don't go 99% of the time. When I do it's a themed one with food and drinks served at your seat. We have a cool one about 30 minutes away, but I've only been once as I've yet to be compelled to watch new movies at all. I liken movies now to cover bands. There's no more good original work. It's all Marvel and Star War types with similar themes.

lol. Just thought of this, they should re-release groundhog day every February. Just have it in theaters for 2 weeks. I bet people would go. Love or hate Bill Murray or the movie it would likely be profitable if marketed well. The rest of movies are shit anyhow.

The only problem I have with the premise of Groundhog Day is that is only by fulfilling the ultimate Beta fantasy of doing everything for everyone that a man can gain a woman's love - all it requires is an eternity to figure out how to do everything exactly right.

I watch it as a wildly delusional comedy. This is textbook simp beta orbiter shit.
