Yeah, I mean if I was walking around talking like JR did at my work, I'd last maybe an hour. For some reason, HR departments don't like when you fantasize having threesomes with your coworkers and publicly speaking it

And I'm not even a JR hater. I like his personality, pretty sure I'd get fired from my job too if I were famous lol. He just doesn't have the filter to stay out of trouble publicly and I don't think I would either. It's just that this whole thing being labeled as "cancel culture" doesn't scream injustice to me. It's always self-inflicted.

Edit: and it's not even a "culture," it's businesses making individual decisions on what's best for the business and individual consumers making decisions based on their morals. That's how it's always been. Things are just more public and global now.

JR? Great player, total asshole.
I've said it before and will say it again, my best example: He had a potential co-investor out from Chicago some twelve years back. They went out drinking, stopped to take a leak, JR ditched co-investor out in the desert, not just for a bit only to circle back for him, but all stinking night. City dude had no idea where he was, or where to go. Next day JR's still laughing his ass off about it, drunk or not, for him to still be laughing, makes my point.

Speaking of applications, if any of you guys' companies are looking for a data wiz (Google Sheets, SQL, Sigma/Tableau stuff) for remote work, hit me up because things at my work are getting suuuper wacky. Ever since the company went public, the culture has majorly shifted. I'm getting nervous (and I'm not alone on that). Just putting some feelers out there, gotta CMA.

Had Hitler never attacked Russia and Japan not overstepped by attacking Pearl Harbor, think how different the world would look today. Would America have gotten involved? Would the UK have been conquered? Would Germany still rule much of Europe? Interesting to consider the possibilities.

I visited Pearl Harbor in June. Highly recommend you go if you can. Standing over the wreck of the Arizona and seeing fuel oil bubbling out 82 years after she sank was one of the more sobering things I've ever done.

speaking of WWII monuments, about 15 years ago I took a train from Krakow in Poland to the town of Oswiecim. In German, Auschwitz. *That* was a disturbing walk, around the grounds of Auschwitz-Birkenau. But, like a small flower growing from a pile of manure, there was a group of teenage Israeli schoolkids at the same time I was there, one of them carrying a fairly large Israel flag around the compound.

Wife and I visited it and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (informally known as Punchbowl Cemetery) is a national cemetery located at Punchbowl Crater eons ago. Very moving, my dad was in the Navy in the Pacific during WWII.

I've visited Dachau and Flossenburg. Unbelievable that some will deny the holocaust considering the volume of evidence.

My two stepson’s grandfather was on the USS Tennessee at the time, which was moored inside the Arizona against the dock.

Didn’t talk about it much. But he did say how they had to dynamite out the dock for weeks just to get the Tennessee out for repair.

One time I was almost stolen by gypsies.

5 years old. Dad was on sabbatical to University of Rome. So we lived there for a bit.

Mom and I were walking in a plaza when 3 gypsy women approached.

One unfolded a newspaper in front of my mom's face. Another tried to pull me away. The last was going through my mom's purse.

My mom pushed the paper away and elbowed one in stomach. The gypsy immediately started yelling, "My bambino!"

She was pregnant.
