Shouldn’t it be “The F* Off Cologne”?

Edit: I read it out loud, I get it now.

Unaware7013,

Why? That would entirely ruin the joke.

Cold_Brew_Enema,

No

onion,

Düsseldorfers be like

Classy,

I would say “Fuck cologne” would also work

The key to happiness is not having expectations, unfortunately that is not always healthy. It’s like nature, evolution comes with just the right pressure. Life needs a little grit, unfortunately, but obviously not /waves arms at generally everything. Hoping for a Star Trek future where we can pursue becoming better people without the need to fight for our basic needs.

See my problem is I have no expectations and I’m constantly let down.

tryptaminev,

Well Nixon was an antisemitic genocidal mass murderer. And his antisemitic genocidal mass murderer secretary of state Kissinger is now praised as “great diplomat” in many western countries.

FlickOfTheBean,

History is written by the victors, and that is what a win looks like… Not saying it’s deserved, just why that happened that way.

Pho cologne

You get to smell like pho.

He got a blow job, his wife didn't care. Why do you?

Because someone as powerful as the potus should be held to the highest possible moral standards.

CaptPretentious,

They should. But that went out the window before Bill showed up.

GiveMemes,

Yeah if it’s something your manager would get fired for it should take a president out of office almost immediately tbh. There’s a chain of command for a reason and it would actually make the role of VP mildly substantial lol.

LastYearsPumpkin,

He used his power and position to take advantage of an intern. Maybe you should care.

Most people that make it to the level of a president have done really shitty things, while this one wasn’t at the top of the list, it’s still pretty bad. Sucks that most of the hate and jokes were pushed towards the victim instead of the perpetrator.

tubbadu,

You know what else sucks? ^\s

retrieval4558,

Because the power dynamic between a 20 year old intern and THE FUCKING PRESIDENT is such that it was essentially rape.

SinJab0n, in They aren't, and I'm sick of being told they are

R u talking about musk?

How dare u!

Monica has come a long way, hate to see all the grief she still gets. I mean it takes two to cheat you know but does anyone give Bill shit? Not really.

Kecessa,

“It takes two to cheat” but in most cases only one of the two is cheating

holycrap,

With the power dynamic is more likely he just took advantage of her

Lemjukes,

Most powerful person in the world and a 20 something intern. Yep it was totally all her fault and we’re in the right for making fun of her 25+ years later.

LemmyKnowsBest,

She has composed herself with such dignity and grace All these years and she articulates the whole debacle so well including all the political and social implications involved, and so relatably and so intelligently. How can we not respect her

captainlezbian,

Seriously, she deserved our sympathy from day 1, but since then she’s earned my respect.

ForgetPrimacy,

(source for what I’m about to say: I vaguely remember basically a couple headlines)

I remember reading a statement from Lewinsky regarding that allegation. Something along the lines of her agreeing that, while she had for many years defended him and declared to anyone asking that their involvement was purely consensual, she didn’t really have the power to consent. I believe it was referenced how the enlightenment of the recent Me Too revelations had influenced her evolving understanding.

yesman,

Many of us who were alive at the time owe Ms. Lewinsky an apology. None more so than Bill Clinton.

QuinceDaPence,

I'd argue they are giving him shit. She might be the punch line but he's the butt of the joke.

captainlezbian,

Yeah but she’s a person whose entire adult life has been in the shadow of being mocked for this. She deserves more than to even be a punch line

Since companies usually have an autocratic structure, i guess they are.

Note: more efficient doesn’t mean better for the people or better at all. It just means that they skip a few important steps.

drlecompte,

People forget that ‘efficient’ in a capitalist sense means that all resources are used. So when you privatize security, prisons, public transport, etc. guess what happens: those companies try to extract as much value as possible and do as little as possible. Because that is what capitalist efficiency is.

PsychedSy,

That’s any service where the service provider has the customer over a barrel.

oatscoop, (edited )

A private company is absolutely more efficient than a government. The boss simply says “this is what we’re doing” and that’s it – it’s just a question of what goal they’re efficiently pursuing.

The problem is that intelligent, empathetic, and selfless people rarely rise to those positions. The few that do usually get pushed out of business by ruthless assholes.

megaman,

I dont think that private corps with tens of thousands of employees can do that at all. Private companies also have committees and working groups and different departments that dont talk to each other (despite the committees), and policies that people follow even though the policy hasnt been good for years.

The boss says “this is what we’re doing” and then it takes years for those hundreds of departments and tens of thousands of people to do it. Or they dont do it, because they disagree with the boss and the boss is far away from any work that they have no idea if people are doing it or not. Or they sorta do it, but then a new boss comes in and has a different plan.

Despite the dictatorship of the owner in a private corporation, actually implementing a thing, especially a new thing, does take a lot of time.

MonkderZweite, in Me Too, me too...

Thawing the pizza? of course that one edge has to be half done while we’re at it!

SlopppyEngineer, in They aren't, and I'm sick of being told they are

People: “Government should be run like a business”

Government: “Speed enforcement is now done by a private business. You’re welcome.”

People: “They’re now trying to squeeze every less cent out of us with speed enforcement!”

Business: “Efficiency!”

MycoBro, in Me Too, me too...

I don’t normally stop for “cute” but this one got me. It’s super cute.
