I remind my sons often how my dog is my favorite child.

Strawman! You need to cote your sources.

Weirdly enough, that too is illegal in my state. 🫣 🙄

~Everything, except missionary.~

Thank you. I will add them to my reading list. 🧛‍♂️

I wonder then if the better approach may be to find a way challenging the law that bars employees from unionizing?; specially since teachers are already allowed to unionize.

I see this is part of a series (#23 in fact); do I need to read the first 22 books or can I just jump in at this one?

You forgot the most iconic:

Strikes don’t affect change if the powers that be don’t listen. My state has had a lot of strikes from teachers that produced nothing positive for the teachers. And all other state employees are legally banned from unionizing.

I am not looking to affect tax rates, I mentioned it as a reason why we state employees are being negatively impacted.

Regardless of the cause, we are being financially harmed by our employer (the state), and I would like to do something legal about it.

Thank you. I have replaced “they” with “the state” and added “less revenue” to hopefully clear things up. If there is anything else that is ambiguous or unclear, please let me know.

This further proves Dracula is not really an evil bad guy. He went out of his way to make sure the Belmont’s had everything they needed to defeat him, even before they stepped foot inside his castle.

Dracula is the real OG dad.

A seriously missed opportunity.

This assumes rules are being followed. And by biblical terms, the devil doesn’t play by the rules — hence why he was cast out of heaven.

But you’re also assuming the devil is the evil one in this situation. And whose word are we taking that the devil is evil?

~Hint: the victors write the history books.~

The devil doesn’t send people to Hell. God does. The devil is just there to receive and punish the people God determined weren’t good enough for Heaven.

I guess they forgot to invite Elmo. Probably for the best.

It should be Xbox Parallel X|S

~Because electricity runs in series or parallel. /s~

Lisa sounds like she’s fun at parties.

Yeah, I’m starting to realize this via my research. This is very disappointing (but not surprising).

What a waste.

And they have good neigh-bors.

This hurts my heart. If I were to say there was any “failure” (I use that term loosely here), it’s that you obviously deprived your child of the joy that is Tetris.

But, fear not! It’s never too late.
