Willowed, I apologize for not waiting until 100 posts.
Hi All, Background: yesterday my company announced mandatory sensitivity training for all employees. When I was told this I declined the training. Almost immediately I was scheduled for a meeting this morning with a member of the executive team, HR, and my division director. Just getting out of the meeting. BLUF: I still have a job and I'm not going to the training. This is kind of long so my apologies. Anyway, here we go. The meeting was in person. I was surprised that there were not one but two executives there: the VP of Legal AND the VP of "inclusion and diversity." My division HR rep was there and my director. Director says "So you don't want to take the required sensitivity training." I say "I don't think it would be a valuable use of my time, since we have a lot of work to do with this shutdown and all." Then the VP of inclusion pipes in: "We are all very busy but it's important that we all go through this training so we know how to interact with each other in an inclusive and accepting way." Yeah, that's pretty much verbatim. So I'm getting a bit miffed but I'm holding it back. And at this point I have to give a big shout out to Alexthechick, because I listened to the 21 May podcast last night and part of it put me in the right frame of mind. I did get a little ranty but this is the flavor of it. I looked Legal right in the eye and said "In my fifteen years with this organization, have there ever been any complaints or accusations about my not acting in an 'inclusive and accepting way?'" She said "no, no complaints at all." I said "Requiring me to go through training is the company saying that I have a problem in this area." VP of inclusion is looking a little shell shocked right now. Someone is questioning the validity of sensitivity training. Unlikely this has happened to her before. I go on. "The training is undoubtedly aimed toward, frankly, getting me to be less racist. That's the thing we're all dancing around here. Well I have never had any kind of issue in that area, and in fact I find it extremely insulting to even SUGGEST I need any kind of training to treat people fairly and on their work product instead of their skin suits." VP of inclusion says "well, this isn't about you, it's about making sure we all have a common understanding of racial and cultural issues that have recently been brought to light with the recent events." So I can't help myself. I say "Does that mean you think we are a racist company?" She looks at me. I look back. Serious pregnant pause. She then says "I think there is some work we should do in that area." And I can't help myself, I say "I agree. For instance, in this very room. We have the two executives here who are African American women (the VP of inclusion and VP of Legal), an Asian woman (HR), and the director of the division (Hispanic man). On the entire executive team there is only one white man, and he is retiring at the end of the year. Further, looking at the hires and promotions over the past six months it appears white men are very underrepresented." Then I really channel Alexthechick and I quote her: "You need to tell me if this training is a condition of my employment. But before you answer, consider that our CEO has a growth strategy that relies on revenue. My work portfolio accounts for 27% of total company revenue and is our single largest portfolio. I've never had a complaint about the way I treat people in my section. But if this is a condition of my employment then I'm sure my talents would be appreciated elsewhere." A bit of silence, then Legal says "As things are right now, we will not require you to attend the training. I would encourage you to do so, but it is ultimately your choice. WitchDoktor, if you aren't there next week people will wonder. What do you suggest?" I say "We're all working remotely, no one will care or even notice." So my Director says "you can have the day off if you want, it won't go against your PTO balance." And that was that. On the way out the door, my Director walks with me a bit and says, jokingly "You are SUCH an asshole!" So in a nutshell, I am still employed, I have a free day off, and I'm not going to stupid sensitivity training.

We have the two executives here who are African American women (the VP of inclusion and VP of Legal), an Asian woman (HR), and the director of the division (Hispanic man). On the entire executive team there is only one white man, and he is retiring at the end of the year. Further, looking at the hires and promotions over the past six months it appears white men are very underrepresented" Fucking A ! Lots if that shit happening.

Her head is down so i don't think it ended happily. I believe good Art should tell a story and that is what i see in this picture.

I ike the image and the way Roberts expresses it. A very effective painting. But it's a bit sad with the solitary boat, left high and dry with faded paint and weathered wood. It seems a loss. The two isolated figures, obviously with no connection to a work boat, deepen the sense of sadness. I also like the Impressionistic way the foliage and background are done. It makes the figure of the boat stand out more starkly, which focuses the viewer's attention.
This is the kind of painting that makes me imagine story lines. Why has a well built craft been allowed to fade? Did the woman on the boat enjoy sailing on it when she was younger? Fun to speculate. Posted by: JTB at June 12, 2020 09:58 AM (7EjX1) 138
I have to wonder what or who the white-and-black figure in the upper right is. Even embiggened, it looks a little like somebody in a rooster suit.
Clearly, too, that boat has been beached a while. It would take some work to make it seaworthy again. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at June 12, 2020 09:58 AM (rpbg1) 139

The AutoZone "community garden." I am literally shaking...with laughter! OMG this is the funniest thing I've seen in weeks. They...they...dumped topsoil on the ground. They. Dumped. Topsoil. On. The Ground. They didn't till the ground. They looted a garden store and dumped topsoil on the ground. On a plot the size of a children's swimming pool. But it gets better! Is that...cardboard between the soil and the ground?!? Cardboard??? Is that supposed to be... mulch? Is it to...protect the grass??? Jumpin' Jesus on a Jackhammer these people ain't right.

This morning Tommy Robinson put out a new video which was insta-censored by YouTube. I'd say it's one of the best yet concerning the lie of Black Lives Matter and the riots going on in the US, as well as in England. I consider it a must-watch. Youtube is worthless, so here's a link to his own news website with the full video. It's a little over an hour, but it's well-produced and direct. Here: https://www.tr.news/all-lives-matter/ Link also in name.
I should strap my own elderly Liberal Catholic mother down and force her to watch it. It refutes every lie she fervently believes about the latest goings-on. Every lie she would sadly shake her head and look at me like I was a poor, poor retarded child who didn't know any better, for disputing. Every lie that the local news affiliates tell, as their newscorp masters dictate. Doubting something like "Hands up don't shoot" is simply unthinkable for people so steeped in Media lies. Seeing Sheriff David Clarke refute that would shock her... I doubt she's ever seen him say a single word about it. Just go watch, and spread it around. Ok, I'm done. As you were.

97 Listening to the oral arguments in Sullivan
I'm telling you all, the appellate court is going to punt, they're going to buy the argument that, until the judge rules on the motion, there's no harm. They're going to pretend this lie that there is some other possible outcome other than dismissal. Posted by: RoyalOil at June 12, 2020 09:50 AM (aO8Gd) Wait till the actual ruling, at least. If you read the screed put out by Gleeson on Wednesday, you know all of the arguments Sullivan's side was going to make. His main argument now is that the Mandamus is too early, since he hasn't ruled. Sidney Powell says that the Mandamus is necessary, because Sullivan's whole game is to drag this out as long as possible and never rule. That's what the Appeals Court has to decide. and yeah, Flynn fucked up by pleading guilty in the beginning. Sure, he had reasons, but it was a fuckup.

The flip side to WitchDoktors story:
I have a friend and fellow parishioner who is a 25 year architect. He works for a big firm, and was one of their top design guys. Crafted some really beautiful structures, and made it rain there just from his reputation. He got into a conversation w/a 28 year old "architect" (not yet licensed) who was employed there for the sole purpose of getting buildings LEED* certified. She was expressing her concern about the environment, b/c fires in Cali etc. My friend said that they weren't necessarily caused by global climate change, it might have just been an anomaly in weather patterns. Welp, lil' miss enviro-pants trots off to HR and says his comments made her feel "threatened". 2 days later, he's fired. Noe my bud is going to be ok. He hung up a shingle, and poached all the clients he was interested in working w/, and shed the a-holes he didn't want to work with. -A cautionary tale *LEED cert. is a bureaucratic certification that means your building is "sustainable". it's just a punch-list b.s. political game.

You have to remember that an "inclusion" officer inoculates the company against most lawsuits. A company, as an entity, can't be held liable unless someone can prove an environment of racism. Voila, can't be proved. And companies know this--that's most of the reason why you see all the paperwork/ads saying they won't tolerate racism. And why they're willing to pay for such an officer Posted by: artemis at June 12, 2020 10:23 AM (AwPyG) 293

278 The flip side to WitchDoktors story:
I have a friend and fellow parishioner who is a 25 year architect. He works for a big firm, and was one of their top design guys. Crafted some really beautiful structures, and made it rain there just from his reputation. He got into a conversation w/a 28 year old "architect" (not yet licensed) who was employed there for the sole purpose of getting buildings LEED* certified. She was expressing her concern about the environment, b/c fires in Cali etc. My friend said that they weren't necessarily caused by global climate change, it might have just been an anomaly in weather patterns. Welp, lil' miss enviro-pants trots off to HR and says his comments made her feel "threatened". 2 days later, he's fired. Noe my bud is going to be ok.

Do these HR idiots think they are converting people to their racist BLM way of thinking? Will the people that they hector and insult in these meetings be swayed? Their first demand is to admit that the whole country is and always has been totally racist! It's like the KKK has taken over.

Hi all,
So to answer one question I saw. If they decide to fire me for cause because of all this...BFD. Fifteen years in a DoD space with clearances and such...I would be unemployed for maybe a week before I show up at a competitor. On the other hand, while I am certainly expendable, the real question is if the company wants to spend the time and effort trying to find a replacement for me. Relationships I've built with customers and the internal company team supporting them are not easily replaced. Ball is in their court, sure, but I'm not too worried. The VP of inclusion doesn't have a lot of support or clout, I think.

Today she told them that she has to continue "working from home" because she's having "child care issues" (i.e. doesn't want to pay for a babysitter). They gave her another 6 months paid leave.

This is going to be a 2-1 ruling in favor of Sullivan
---------------- Would the next appeal be to the full court? Or on up the the Supremes? Posted by: Grump928© at June 12, 2020 11:04 AM (OOdcU) Hoping this was going to end here with "justice" is like hoping your favorite professional wrassler is going to win the title, keep the title, and never have to fight the bad guy ever again.

So I guess we will be seeing Trump pardoning Flynn...
I think that is what the Democrats have programming set up for. They are forcing Trump to choice between justice and political expediency. When the DOJ charges the previous prosecutors with felonies, then a pardon will work for both. Posted by: Grump928© at June 12, 2020 11:10 AM (OOdcU) 539
So I guess we will be seeing Trump pardoning Flynn...
No, I think we continue to expose their shenanigans. But I wouldn't mind if Barr decided to assume for himself a judicial role, if Sullivan has suddenly made that all legal. Posted by: t-bird at June 12, 2020 11:11 AM (Za8VV) 540

Posted by: It's me donna at June 12, 2020 11:08 AM (Zmnko) This has been Sullivan's entire game plan from the beginning. Drag it out and drag it out, preventing any legal resolution so that Trump will be forced to pardon Flynn, and then Joe Biden can use it as a campaign issue and evidence of "Corruption" in his campaign this fall.

Also, for those that don't know, Glen Campbell was one of the musicians who played on most rock songs in the 60s. The bands didn't play their own music. In fact, Campbell was an unofficial member of the Beach Boys, and played in many of their concerts.

Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan's address regarding the anarchist takeover of her city as "patriotic" is slam-dunk sedition. Jay Inslee joking about how he doesn't know anything about this "CHAZ" thing makes him complicit. It's time to make the case for insurrection - firmly - and get to work.

Hi Bluebell!
We did go to the same school - found out a couple of weeks ago. It was a co-ed school, but we were separated completely - one side of the building boys, and the other girls. In fact, if a girl had to go over to the other side for some reason, she would have to put on her bla zer, gloves, and beret. Posted by: IrishEi at June 12, 2020 11:12 AM (sGotD) 549

Posted by: RoyalOil at June 12, 2020 11:03 AM (aO8Gd) ******* Good Lord take a Xanax you have no idea how these hearings go ********* TheHuBLife @GeneralDilley Remember this... The more the appellate judges argue ridiculous angles and thoroughly play devil's advocate the more difficult to challenge their rulings later. This is good for @GenFlynn ******* TheHuBLife @GeneralDilley Y'all really don't know how judges work? I had this same experience in custody court. Judge argued every idiotic angle for the opposing side and my attorney overcame them all. Judge ruled in my favor and left absolutely nothing for the otherside to appeal in her final ruling.

Glen Campbell was one of the finest, if not the finest musician of his generation in that genre. -- And, he could not read music, his playing was all by ear. Posted by: Vashta Nerada at June 12, 2020 11:06 AM (kA3Cp) I can't read music either. I don't know if I would ever change that, because when I hear a song I can "see" it on the fingerboard, and it allows me to almost instantly reproduce it. I guess when you go by ear you get a 6th sense or some shit. I just don't know if I would have gotten that skill of I learned to read music and just relied on that.

Question for reloaders;
Ever notice some serious discrepancies in various reloading manuals? Case in point: I am working up loads for my 7.62 X 54R. In my oldest Sierra manual a max load of IMR 3031 is 44.4 grains with 150 grain bullet. 2700 fps. I have another manual that lists the max load at 50 grains with this bullet with a MV of 3000 fps. The Sierra load seems quite mild. I doubt the 2700 fps. I want a MV of 2700 with a 20" barrel. I suppose I will start using my chronograph and the max Sierra load and start loading up and checking for signs of excessive pressure until I get the 2700 fps. Any thoughts?
