Dad would probably roflstomp you with his King. Keep in mind Tekken 2 came out over 25 years ago. Plenty of time to have Junior grow up, leave, and come back.
Careful gift-giving isn't "CONSOOM," yes. That's exactly why I said what I said. I say that this idea that you need to hurry up and buy your chinky winky garbage as soon as possible because "oh no what of we have to buy American or wait a while? Spend now!" is daft. Mister love language who got his panties bunched despite that apparently not applying.
contradiction in terns said:
The only people even talking about cheap chinky consoomer bullshit in relation the that post are who, exactly? I get it, I do. Just, maybe quit frothing at the mouth about it.
I'm not mad, you're mad!
Sounds like chlorine washing, which means that we might be importing some chicken from the US now. It's illegal here, but apparently necessary there due to differences in hygiene standards.
I just assumed it was to do with the general quality of food going down. Bacon full of water, fly larvae looking things in strawberries, milk going off 2-3 days before the 'best buy' date, etc are things I've noticed in the past month or two. Having chicken smell like ammonia and go yellow in the pack is just minorly unsettling. Tastes fucking rank too. I thought chlorine washing was a huge anti-Brexit 'we'll be eating bleached chicken oh noes' talking point for a while
As much as people panic about the massive backlog at the ports, its a 100% manufactured crisis; at any point the government could just fuck the union and get this shit over with. the only reason it takes them so long to clear out one storage container is because of their obnoxious union benefits. its like a 20hr work week or some bullshit like that. it takes them longer to get to work than do the work that needs to be done.
back during the summer of george the crime rate became the highest in 20+ years. most cities trends show its going to be the worst year on record (just for murders) in history. If its already at record highs during whats probably the "eye of the storm" imagine how fucked its going to be come the shortages. i've already noticed the seedier forums whining about drug and whore prices increasing by 25% since 2 years ago. the whores that used to cost $300/hr in 2013 are now up to $600/hr with 8 years of 'city miles' on them. heroin is forecasted to be $500-700 a gram by the end of the decade. (imagine how much chocolate shakes are going to be!) If even your neighborhood pimps and junkies are feeling the heat, you know things are starting to hurt. double digit inflation is here to stay too. prices were relatively stable in the 2010s, now every year it'll be more and more. if i owned a gas station i'd start figuring out how to add a tens place to the gas price sign now. $10+/gal gas is coming later this decade, if citizens don't get their shit together we'll be looking at $90+/gal by 2040.
So I work in the engineering field and you can write your own ticket right now. The problem is that a lot of boomers were eligible for retirement but we’re still working. When the pandemic hit many of them decided to say fuck it and take their retirement. I just changed jobs and had 3 companies in a literal bidding war over my employment and managed to get and extra 10% over what they offered me and a really nice signing bonus. The kids coming out of school right now are going to be very well off. This is in addition to many companies suddenly rethinking offshore manufacturing.
The Feds are practically gloating about how bad shortages and heating costs will be this winter. Hospitals are already dealing with shortages of workers that keep getting worse.
Savings and the confidence you'll be able to find a job that's just as good or better. Which there's "now hiring" signs absolutely everywhere and online there's all sorts of "emergency hire" or "we need 3-5 people for this position" jobs. Most people aren't making too much money at the end of the day and below 50K/year the market is endless.
I just got a 10% raise (in engineering) because all of our young talent is getting scalped. I wasn't looking because I intend to be self-employed by he end of next year or I probably could have gotten a better deal.
Our chicken is fucking flavorless and terrible but it doesn’t taste like bleach. Something gay is going on.
There are plenty of places not requiring the jab. The smart companies are adopting a wait and see attitude while the court cases happen. No one want to lose 10-20% of their workforce overnight in the already tight employee market.
I'm in a big corp and so far they've only required it in nations that require it, so I have to assume they're holding out for the gov. to tell them. Still gets old waiting to see what happens. I'm starting to think the OSHA thing won't happen because they're taking so long.
