That is possible, though from my limited experience (2 call centers) companies won't tell Customer Service reps to deny knowledge of something that is public knowledge. They will have some sort of carefully constructed public statement instead. And most reps don't care enough to do anything besides repeat the statement, possibly verbatim.
I've worked adjacent to customer service people in a call center. Honestly, they might not have known. Call centers are frequently terrible about giving their reps news BEFORE customers start calling in about it. Plus, low level call center reps generally aren't exactly star employees and may or may not pay attention when told things.
I completely misunderstood, my bad. That is what I get for posting right before bed, I didn't make the connection at all haha
I agree with you, at least under Joe Biden. And I hate that nothing will change under Joe Biden. I'm just saying that he didn't advertise himself on things changing. He advertised himself as being sane and stable compared to Donald Trump. Which he has pretty much fulfilled.
Nobody here is really defending Joe Biden or making excuses for him. We just acknowledge who he is as a politician. Personally, considering Joe Biden's track record on drugs/weed, I'm pleased with what he has done and with this. It isn't what I want, but this was a man who wrote anti-drug legislation while in Congress, this is more than I'd have expected from him if you asked me prior to him running for President.
I am pretty sure he didn't actually promise it. I know he said he supports decriminalization and getting it rescheduled to Schedule 2, but I am pretty confident he never went out and said "I will get it moved to schedule 2" or anything along those lines.
I have seen a lot of people say about what he promised to do while campaigning but I am pretty sure it is mostly people taking him saying he wants to do something and reading it as him saying "I will do this". Joe Biden has been in politics a very long time and knows what the president can and can't do, I doubt he overpromised.
It isn't like he ran as a progressive, he didn't make a ton of big promises while campaigning. It was basically him saying "I will make things somewhat normal" after the Trunp presidency.
My job got everybody branded hydroflasks ~3 years ago. I don't work there any more, but I pretty much never leave the house without that bottle.
My house bottle is a 1.5L Bubba bottle from Walmart. Had that about a year and a half so far and it is holding up well.
Agreed, I use them when I'm doing chores around the house if my wife isn't doing stuff in the same room as me. Sound quality obviously isn't superb but it is good enough for me and way better than I would expect.
Health is actually half the reason I started running. I've lost ~50lbs over a couple years and want to lose more.
And I want to agree on SLOW. When I first started I did C25K and I was running my little 1 minute increments at like a 15 minute mile pace, then walking in between increments. But eventually I got to where I could run that 15 minute mile pace for 30 minutes at a time, and then I started working on speed. I'm down to almost being able to run a 10K in 35 minutes in a hilly environment, or being able to run for ~45 minutes at a slower pace. I tried many times in my 20s to start running and I always got discouraged because I'd try C25K, but do the running parts at a ~9 minute mile pace and it was killing me. Realizing I needed to start slow got me where I wanted to be.
I've actually been looking at Altra's at the suggestion of a Youtuber I like. I should probably just bite the bullet and grab them. I have a super wide toebox and a normal width heel, so shoes are always weird for me. Up until now I've just stuck with New Balance, I just have to order them online because a 13 4E is hard to find in store
Running. Not as expensive as a lot of the things posted about here, but my shoes cost ~$150 and I have replaced them a couple times a year. I'm planning to get in to trail running soon (as opposed to running circles in my neighborhood, so now I want to add a running vest and a GPS watch, which is not cheap.
Considering that in theory all you need to run is your body and an open space, I feel like I have spent a lot of money.
EDIT: I forgot the ~$140 bone conducting headphones I bought! I for sure feel safer with them than my old headphones though, since I have been doing almost all of my running till now on the road.

I'm not familiar with Raw Story, can anybody confirm their reliability in general? This article seems solid but the name makes me think of all of those weird right wing "news" websites. Looking over it a bit it definitely doesn't seem to be one of those though so idk.
I recommend using Tor browser as an alternate option. For anybody who can't use a VPN or doesn't want to.
Closed. I have an 18 year old who has been working the closing shift a lot this summer. I don't want to be woken.
My wife and I used a Travel Agent for our honeymoon. We had a lot going on and it was just something we could take off our plate. It was honestly a pretty easy experience, though I probably wouldn't use it in most circumstances.
Your complimentary Bald Eagle should be landing with your complimentary AR within the next 5-7 business days.
They didn't make that argument. They just pointed out that it DOES happen
