As an example of the new policy, OPM said that during a break one employee can engage another “in polite discussion of why his faith is correct and why the non-adherent should rethink his religious beliefs." The employee should stop if the “nonadherent” colleague asks him to, according to the guidance.

I think the “non-adherent” should be given as much time to rebut the person bothering them in the first place. Something like, “hey ding-a-ling, here is why your book club is false and the one true way is the Church of the Subgenius because…”

Seriously, who has the time for this kind of shit on the job?

Also, can those who are targets of the proselytizing tell people doing the proselytizing where they can stick it?

Does that include Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Satanists, and Wiccans?

How is atheism related to being an edgelord? I’m not sure I understand the connection at all.

I’ve often wondered about how much it would cost to put prominent billboards for Democratic messages aimed at the “heartland” at various strategic points along I-70 and I-80.

Co-worker of mine thought it was a real big “get” to call MSNBC “MSLSD”. I think he about blew a gasket when I told him I wasn’t all that interested in corporate/conservative news outlets like “MSLSD”, either.

It genuinely bothered him that I didn’t give a rat’s ass about trying to defend MSNBC and that I didn’t get outraged by his constant parroting of something he picked up from Bullshit Mountain. Same went for him calling Rachel Maddow “Madcow”. It’s funny to watch how much these people calling everyone else “snowflakes” have meltdowns when others don’t play the game they imagined was going to happen…we don’t tend to be in a cult like these gomers.

So yeah, this douchenozzle calling a paper reporting embarrassing news about him “Woklahoman” tracks…

It’s to the point where as soon as them start mouthing off about what others should be doing, or how purely xtian they themselves are, that’s when we should seize their devices and have them searched.

Of course he was.

I happen to have known lots of the self-medicating type of “stoners” over the years and weed is basically their superpower. Many/most of them are actually overachievers.

The Hollywood stereotype of people doing bong hits and then doing nothing but playing video games and eating bad fast food I guess exists for a reason, but there are many that don’t fit that mold…I don’t think you want to piss them off either, though, since daily use is how they found a way to keep themselves sane and maintain a very high level of productivity.

I knew more than a few body builders during university that would wake and bake and then go hit the gym for many hours. I asked one of them how or why they came across this and many swore it game them more energy, more focus for getting in the zone. He also mentioned Arnold smoked up back in the day, so they figured it would do no harm.

Not sure why Biden couldn’t just issue lots of (meaningful) EOs and then tell courts to try to enforce them if they disagree. Including on the cannabis issue. At the same time, he could initiate/shepherd the longer process, which, as you point out, takes a long time.

Can someone like Taco come in and reverse EOs? Of course, but at least make someone like Taco do that reversal.
