Bandai Namco has reportedly turned to the unspoken Japanese tradition of layoff-by-boredom by stuffing unwanted employees into oidashi beya, or “expulsion rooms.”

Employees banished reassigned to oidashi beya are left to do nothing, or given menial tasks at best.

Ever since I watched Silicon Valley I’ved dreamed of being oidashi beya’d.

Like, you’re just gonna give me zero work and a room to nap in for 8 hours along with a salary?

Fucking sold man. Let me live that Bighead life, dude is a nihilist spirit animal.

I’m trying to understand why they(we) are such a close ally

You won’t like Biden’s answer…

Biden has partly credited his pro-Israel world view to his father, who insisted following World War Two and the Nazi Holocaust there was no doubt of the justness of establishing Israel as a Jewish homeland in 1948.

He’s said multiple times there is no line Israel could cross that would result in any less support from him.

He’s not operating on any kind of logic, in his eyes Israel = good, and that’s as deep as he will ever think of it.

and what I’m trying to tell you is that that’s mostly irrelevant to politicians.

And what I’m trying to tell you, is even when a politician has the correct letter by their name, they’re not infallible…

The people running Kamala’s campaign and the DNC are the same ones running stuff in 2016 and 2020.

They have a 1-1 record against trump, and it only worked last time because Bernie drug them to the left.

You need to focus on what voters do, not politicians. And if significant voters didn’t care about Morales, the article you’re commenting under wouldn’t exist

They know they need to appeal to the masses to stay in power if they want to do anything, so appeal to the masses they will.

They only “appeal to voters” when it involves moving to the right.

People want things to the left of Kamala too, and they’d actually vote for Kamala, so it makes sense “chasing” the left, not for Kamala to chase trumpets.

This is why “not trump” isn’t enough.

The absence of evil isn’t “good”, to be “good” you need to be proactively against evil.

Don’t forget Biden wants to codify the horrible border policies trump was doing, and Kamala has repeatedly said she has no problem with how Biden has been doing shit.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/06/04/fact-sheet-president-biden-announces-new-actions-to-secure-the-border/

When both of the only two parties want the president to be able to unilaterally “close down the border” and deny asylum to those who cross over anyways, it’s makes it hard for non-voters to pick the lesser of two evils.

Should they always vote for the lesser evil?

Absolutely.

But they don’t, and yelling at them that they should has a godawful track record and shit is too important to keep trying it anyways.

Deja Vu is just an error with how we save memories.

It skips working memory, short term memory, and goes straight into long term memory so everything we experience feels like we’re remembering it, but no matter how hard you try you can’t remember the future.

During certain recreational activities, it can last long enough to realize what’s happening. Normally you just get a brief moment of it till shit gets straightened out.

But you understand how Biden breaking US and international law makes people who are disengaged think both parties are the same?

Like, we can tell at them and scold them that it’s better when Dems do it…

Or Kamala can come out and say she’ll follow the law. Considering she has said multiple times she has no issues with how Biden has done things and wouldn’t have done anything different…

That only hurts Dems and makes trump (way worse shit) look acceptable.

So you think trump giving aid to Russia against US law would be ok if it gets him votes?

This is the exact reason turnout is low.

Lots of voters won’t hold their nose to blatant crimes even if the only other option does more crimes…

And it’s mostly all in one place…

I never realized how valuable that data was

Yeah, but that’s the same as someone writing on a bathroom stall at this point.

Nope, as a kid I had to go to other farms to collect manuare then spread it on the fields of my family’s farm

I’m curious if this was some kind of DDOS, or if someone was trying to use it to train AI and was pulling everything to make a local copy

About the only way to ensure you’re not training AI on bots, is to use “old internet” when bots were more obvious

It’s a deep cut, so not many will get it, but this reminds me of Bonaroo South by from “Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell”

He knows that! He wants you to headline Coachella AND the shit farm!

All they have to do is pledge to follow the Leahy Law…

Israel won’t comply, which means we legally can’t provide arms. Kamala doesn’t even have to be “the bad guy”, she can just say she’s choosing to follow American law and if Israel wants arms then they can comply like every other recipient has to.

It’s really as easy as saying:

If elected I will not break American law to send arms to foreign countries.

Boom, election locked up.

“We are in a moment where our community is suffering and hurting in more ways than we can count. We have also seen four years under a Trump presidency and what that did to our community, and the risks that come with that,” said a spokesperson for Arab Americans for Harris-Walz. “We’re not saying that with a Harris administration there is no risk, but under a Trump administration, the risk is much higher. We believe [backing Harris] is a more favorable path forward for us here in the United States and in our home countries.”

It’s not too late, Kamala can pivot to the left and pledge to obey the Lehey law.

If she does, then Israel either changes their behavior or they stop getting any military aid/arms from America.

That’s all that needs done, Kamala to pledge to follow the law.

It’s not a big ask from voters, and it would hand her the votes she needs in the states she needs to win the election.

Every dollar we give Israel to continue their genocide could have went to Ukraine, we could have squashed this invasion in months if we gave Ukraine what we give Israel.

What you just described is called “ban evasion”…

If a sub doesn’t want you. Go make your own

How about this?

OP has posted and deleted this at least twice before…

It keeps getting longer and more off the rails too

Not a single person is saying she needs to be conservative

So why is she for:

1. Fracking

2. A border wall

3. Coninuing support for genocide

People defend her move to the right on those three and more fucking daily…

Like, you think no one is pressuring her into that and she is willing to risk trump by being more conservative than the Dem voter base because she believes in those three things that much?

If you want to “save democracy” you’d be doing anything you can to get her more votes, that means dragging her back left towards the party base.

She keeps going right, and her numbers keep dropping. It ain’t a coinky dink bud

I don’t see that often.

What I see a lot of is accounts that say Kamala has to be “conservative” on some issues to get votes, but can’t give a valid reason why Kamala sticks with unpopular policy like pro-genocide or pro-fracking.

But she doesn’t take the threat of trump seriously enough to make her want to aide with the platform of her own goddamn party. She like genocide and fracking too much apparently, and it would be cynical to imply it was the donations and not her genuine feelings on the issues

"I don’t think [immigrants] are the problem in terms of election day,” Trump told Bartiromo. “I think the bigger problem are the people from within, we have some very bad people, sick people, radical left lunatics.”

At that point, he suggested a seemingly sinister solution.

“And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military,” he said.

“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. Not even the people who have come in, who are destroying our country.”

He’s called Biden a “radical leftist”, it’s anyone who won’t vote for him…
