    Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder are not similar or even related. They are comorbid with some frequency.

    You see them used somewhat interchangeably especially "bpd."

     

    They didn’t call Amber bipolar but I mentioned it with BPD in the vein of “I remember when Texas/SMU football used to rule the world” in terms of dealing with a specific situation. 2 totally different things but their ups and downs can drag you to hell and back. I should have said and/or instead of putting the / between BPD and bipolar.

    That’s not my point. My point is both of these fools are judgement proof at this point given the amount of cash they’ve blown on this circus. This whole thing is a fool’s errand that is only enriching a bunch of attorneys.

    Johnny already lost tons of money due to the abuse allegations so he might as well spend the rest to clear up his name.

    Have you watched the trial? Amber seriously has a mental disorder and it’s hard to stomach all of her blatant lies. She’s disconnected from reality even when the facts are laid out before her.

    I think anyone dealing with a narcissistic BPD type feels like a winner here because Amber was on full display in court the past two days. Awesome. At least people playing at home can go, "See? Do you see what I am dealing with damnit?"

    This right here. I’m not even a casual Johnny fan, but I am driven by feeling the wrath of someone who suffers from BPD/Bipolar disorder. People like this fuck your whole life up and mess with your head. It’s hard to explain if you’ve never experienced someone like this firsthand.

    And losing the trial in the UK wasn’t cheap. 

    Johnny got fucked in the UK trial. He was going up against Rupert Murdoch and The Sun. Amber was just a witness for The Sun. She was close to people who knew the judge. I’m not surprised they ruled in her favor, especially after all this bullshit evidence the US trial has aired out.

    Does Jimmy know he has a PI following him?  I don't think he does  I think he had the surveillance pics taken and is going to have them anonymously sent to Howard.  

    I think Jimmy knows about the PI. That’s why he allowed himself to be caught in the photos taking out all that money in the ATM. It’s setting up for the fake judge photos.

    Depp is definitely winning the PR battle. Sounds like from that lawyer's podcast the jury is also with him. This was never a truly easy case for him to  win.

    If the jury believes Johnny didn’t abuse Amber, and they believe Amber’s article was written about him, how do they award him the $50 million defamation?

    Johnny’s career was stalling before the Heard abuse allegations. Aside from Pirates, most of his other movies were not doing well at the box office. They said he lost $22M for the next Pirates movie, but there was no signed contract or paperwork to verify, just a verbal agreement. 

    However, over the course of his lifetime, a $50M loss seems reasonable. All those endorsement gigs add up over time even if his movies have sucked. Before this trial he was radioactive to all advertisers.

    I’m still not quite getting the D-Day strategy.

    How do pics of Jimmy appearing to bribe the judge handling the Sandpiper mediation provide him any leverage over Howard?

    I’m guessing Jimmy slips the drug from the vet to Howard, making Howard’s pupils big and his HR go up. Howard sees the supposed bribery pics and it sets him off during the mediation. Cliff notices Howard’s erratic behavior plus physical symptoms and decides to settle the case.

    Can someone explain the guy with the broken arm? What was the bit they were planning?

    Jimmy knows Howard has a PI following him. The guy with a broken arm is the judge in the nursing home case. Jimmy’s trying to impersonate the judge making it seem like the judge took a bribe from Jimmy so the PI pics show this to Howard.

  8. Elon is comparing American work ethic vs Chinese work ethic, but each labor force was brought up believing in two different economic & political systems. 

    Comparing both is like complaining about the difference between an A cup vs C cup tittyfuck. Of course it’s not the same. Situational awareness is key for squeezing out the best results. 

    But here we are, discussing the root causes of wealth disparity and attitude changes of American workers. We should be discussing how our country let someone with Elon’s labor beliefs create a huge personal stake in the automotive industry and space exploration.

    I had this discussion with my buddy the other day and I used an example of when we were in the navy.  We first started loading tomahawks.   115 of them and they said hey 25 days.  They said sure.  Well the next time they had to load it.  They said 22 days.  Then the next time they said 19 and so on until it got down to 9 days.  And it was the Admiral asking the Captains if they could do it.  No captain dared to say no because they all wanted that promotion.  What they didn't tell people was how they got it down to 9 days.  And the way they did it.  The crews basically work 24 hours a day with people getting maybe 2-3 hours a day and then cutting out the safety margins.  Now if anything went wrong the captains would have said well we didn't hear any complaints about it.  It wasn't until an inspection team had heard about it and someone with balls said.  Hey this is really fucking stupid.

    Working hard just fucks you in the long run. After our corporate takeover, the quality manager in my production unit quit. We rallied the ops team to help the remaining quality associates and production did not drop. Eventually the rest of the quality associates quit. Now there is nobody in the quality department. It’s been 2 years. Corporate expects ops to do our job plus the job of the quality department. I’m not getting paid double. When external audits point out deficiencies, I refer them to our quality department. All the quality people who apply with corporate get placed in other units with lower production levels. We are punished for being competent and able to still produce in a dysfunctional way. They won’t even let my good employees get OT. Corporations suck.

    Back to China, if we want to compare work habits apples-to-apples, it's 2020s China vs 1920s US. As in, "how hard do people work in factories when the alternative is starving on the farm?"

    Hopefully the current Chinese see their sacrifices succeed to the point that their grandchildren can also turn down jobs.

    Do they still have those suicide nets around the Apple factory in China?

  11. Large corporations are fucking stupid and have no concept of what it’s like to work at an operations level. 

    The company I work for used to be a small regional US company and was bought out by a huge multinational corporation. After the switch, we went from 40-50 applicants a month to 5-10. Maybe 3-5 will bother to show up for an interview. Corporate recruiting sucks shit now. They can’t even hire the right people to hire the right people. 

    I went from picking and choosing the best people (who eventually left for better pay) to now being desperate to hire anyone just to help make production quotas. 

    I have some people who don’t show up at least once a month. I would love to fire them but I can’t because I need the bodies. I also have some killer workers who could do the job of 2 people, but the company refuses to give them OT. These guys would work 70+ hours a week if they could but aren’t allowed. I’m going to lose them soon because they’ve maxed out their raises and promotions.

    There are people out there who want to work, they just know they’re worth more than what companies are squeezing out of their cheap labor.

    I don’t understand these women…Joyce Tilly Mitchell (Dannemora prison deal)…like this shit never works out…Joyce didn’t even get that much prison time honestly. No need for a self-inflicted GSW to the noggin. plus there was never a way those two wouldn’t have been turned in given the height differences bw them. 
     

    You’d have had to plan something like this years in advance (bunch of drop cars etc) and even then you’d have a better chance of winning the lottery…
     

     

    Could the guard have gotten her pension in prison as an ex-con? She should have finalized the retirement and secured the pension before doing the big prison break. The lack of understanding about how things work is not surprising.

    And a cone?  Really?

    Telespar%20withTelespar%20Feet%5B1%5D2.j

    This right here. Gives me flashbacks of the cutthroat West Campus street parking lifestyle.

    My West Campus parking cone lasted 2 years, then started getting moved. Switched to a barrier like this which got moved until the sandbags came out. Fuck paying $150/mo for garage parking in 2002. Must cost a fortune now.

    Not to mention that Jimmy's dumb ass didn't wear gloves when he stole Howard's car.  

    The song playing on the radio. At least rewind the tape back to the point where it started when you stole the car. 

  15. This heat has me working on a deal for a bunch of wholesale blackout curtains from China. I just need to pay an Instagram/TikTok girl to peddle the curtains online by exaggerating how fresh and cool her apartment feels while wearing a skimpy outfit. Then I can sell the curtains for 20x the cost.

    I don't understand what they are doing with all this extra money they are collecting. It seems like Austin should have insane public services compared to other cities with the budget they get from our tax payments.

    I understand the school recapture thing and that being a large component of the tax bill, but the other part of the Tax bill is still a thing and I don't think Austin is getting better (I think it's getting worse). 

    The recapture thing is huge. AISD paid the most in the state, $710M in recapture. Houston ISD was #2 at $197M (largest district in the state). So AISD paid $512M MORE than any other district in Texas. Next year AISD has to pay $761M. This is where all the money is going.
