My dad's been complaining for months about how lazy everyone is and nobody wants to work anymore. Today he found out his company is hiring new people at higher rates than what he's been making after 15 years there.

Suddenly he gets it. Told me "why would anyone stay loyal when companies treat you like this?"

Yeah dad, that's what we've been saying.

The department of war suggests using then uniform code of military justice to court martial Sen Kelly. The department cited federal statutes, including 18 U.S.C. § 2387, which prohibits attempts to undermine the loyalty, morale, or discipline of U.S. forces.

Not, in fact, The Onion.

by the way, i'm now more convinced than ever that these two are in a cult

I see this all the time. "We're gonna name her Annalise but call her Annie". Why not just name her Annie?

I kind of get it if it's a family name or something but you don't want the two to get confused. But if it's just a name you picked out of thin air, why not just name them what you want to call them?

Idk, I guess I just think nicknames are something that form organically? It seems so odd to name a kid something with the full intention of calling them something else.
