Little Caesar's is exactly what you expect when you pick up a $5 pizza that was ready before you even walked in the door to order it.

Papa John's is expensive poo poo run by a guy who freaked the gently caress out about the cost of like a dime per pizza to give his employees health coverage while having an elevator for his car collection installed in his mansion.

It's the epitome of the philosophy of the quality of quantity. When you need a ton of pizza and don't want to break the bank, Little Caesar's is the way to go.

The allies columns in the Wikipedia entry for World War III are going to be confusing as gently caress.

Joking aside, the Middle East has always been at a state of war, so it likely won't mean poo poo.

I mean all things considered it wasn't that bad until the Ottoman Empire collapsed during World War I.

On the other hand, if Alabama gets a Dem senator it may as well be Ragnarok for the GOP.

Twitter verified the nazi that organized Charlottesville and when asked why they seem to be happy to give nazis checkmarks (and the harassment protection/better features that come with the upgrade) jack's response was to say "out verification system has been broken for a while so we're just not verifying anyone until we make it look like we're only protecting nazis."

Don't forget that Lowtax himself can't get verified and his account was banned for saying Baked Alaska should be encased in concrete.

I have seriously wondered how more of them aren't killed. They are either confronting somebody who is probably armed out in the middle of nowhere, or performing what most people would think is an illegal search on the homes/property of people who will certainly be armed. And they're probably alone with their support only having a rough idea of their location for all of it.

Going by the refuge I worked at this summer, it's because there's fewer and fewer of them since agencies can't actually hire new people.

Fun fact: There was one LEO for the entirety of Long Island when I got there in March. She left the week I arrived. When I finished my internship in August they still didn't have a replacement :shepface:

I think they’re referring to Fosh and Wildlife.

In which case point still stands. I’ve only ever met an F&W Officer once, but that’s only because I was in a popular crabbing spot. That said, I know in my state it’s super hard to get hired as one, and it’s run as an Old Boy’s (and Girl’s) club. They rreeeeeaaaallllyy wanna make sure you’re the right fit for the job, the people you will work with, and the public you’ll be dealing with.

But yeah, huuuuge latitude as far as what those officers have legal ability to do.

So was I! In our case, the Refuge manager probably would have loved to hire literally anybody (We had a several incidents of vandalism at various refuges), but the hiring freeze made it impossible, and they didn't exactly have the budget for it in any case.

He admitted to it, apologized, and had the apology accepted

It ain’t hard to describe the difference between Moore and him here. Given how Franken dealt with the issue I’m not sure why people on the forums are still screaming for him to resign.

I think part of it is a genuine attitude of "what he did was hosed up, and nobody who commits or has committed those kinds of acts should be in a position of power," and part of it is "If he resigns, it removes any potential false equivilance to what Moore did, and makes it clear the Democratic Party does not accept or condone sexual assault by anyone."

Personally, I'm a bit conflicted-no matter how you slice it, what Franken did was gross and wrong, and if he did it to one woman he almost certainly did it to others. But with that said, he's been a legitimately great Senator, he's apologized for his actions, his apology was accepted, and he's agreed to cooperate with an ethics committee hearing. Were it not for the election in Alabama, I think that would be more than enough-however, since Moore's actions have made it into a race the Democrats could actually win, you have to wonder if it might be better to have Franken fall on his sword to help prevent any chance of Moore getting in.

I remember when I was in high school our philosophy class had a Truman Trial, where we were supposed to determine whether Harry Truman's dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have counted as war crimes. I was selected to be Harry Truman, and on my way to the trial between classes I ran into my AP US History teacher and jokingly asked him what I should say.

His suggestion:
