That video looks very good if you have a fancy TV, but otherwise I bet it looks weird and red.

Chess tournaments can also be set in Bangkok and involve a lot of tug jobs.

A notification popped up in the corner of my screen.

Robot Santa mentioned me? Could it be?! Is today my day to shine?!?!

I felt a swelling of hope in my breast, so great I could barely contain it. With shaking hand, I clicked "Refesh", flinger flying over the scroll wheel as I raced to the bottom of the page.

City of Seattle to Divest From Wells Fargo, Citing DAPL and Fraud Scandal

AN ORDINANCE relating to strengthening The City of Seattle’s policies for
conducting City business with socially responsible banks, amending Sections 20.65.010,
20.65.030, and 20.70.040 of the Seattle Municipal Code; amending the revised City of Seattle
Investment Policies adopted by Resolution 31525; requesting the Mayor and Director of Finance
and Administrative Services to take certain actions, including not renewing the Contract for
Bank Depository Services with Wells Fargo Bank beyond the initial term, endeavoring to enter
into a voluntary debarment agreement with Wells Fargo Bank for a period of at least one year,
and refraining from conducting banking, investment, or other business with Wells Fargo Bank
for a period of at least one year when it is in the City’s discretion.

Summary and background of the Legislation: This ordinance relates to strengthening The
City of Seattle’s policies for conducting City business with socially responsible banks, amending
Sections 20.65.010, 20.65.030, and 20.70.040 of the Seattle Municipal Code; amending the
revised City of Seattle Investment Policies adopted by Resolution 31525; requesting the Mayor
and Director of Finance and Administrative Services to take certain actions, including not
renewing the Contract for Bank Depository Services with Wells Fargo Bank (“Wells Fargo”)
beyond the initial term, endeavoring to enter into a voluntary debarment agreement with Wells
Fargo for a period of at least one year, and refraining from conducting banking, investment, or
other business with Wells Fargo for a period of at least one year when it is in the City’s
discretion.

Wells Fargo, pursuant to a competitive procurement in 2013, currently provides services to The
City of Seattle under the Contract for Bank Depository Services between The City of Seattle and
Wells Fargo with an initial contract term through December 31, 2018, including managing more
than $3 billion of Seattle’s operating account, including a biweekly payroll of $30 million for
approximately 12,000 employees.

Wells Fargo’s policies have recently been widely criticized for promoting social injustices. It is a
substantial investor in the Dakota Access Pipeline, which has faced the courageous opposition of
activists from hundreds of Indian Nations, environmental organizations, and other social justice
organizers. It has also been widely reported that senior management of Wells Fargo directed
employees to fraudulently create more than 2 million unauthorized bank and credit card accounts
during the past five years, negatively affecting the credit ratings of millions of customers across
the United States. In response to this scandal, it is reported that Wells Fargo has terminated the
employment of more than 5,300 of the corporation’s lowest-paid workers, but has not fired a
single senior executive.

This ordinance changes the investment policies of The City of Seattle to allow for the social
responsibility of banks applying to do business with the City to hold greater weight. It also
requests that the contract with Wells Fargo not be renewed.

$3,000,000,000

Hahaha, get fucked, Wells Fargo

Republican lawmakers in New York are fighting a plan to destroy the personal information collected from nearly one million people, many of them undocumented immigrants, who applied for New York City ID cards.

We're against centralized registrations except when primarily non-white people use it

Just fucking put that on the GOP platform already

the only chess game i've ever witnessed was last january when i was single at a bar 30 minutes before closing time

i was with my 2 female roommates and they were trying to wingman me and help me score with someone from this group of asian girls

the asian girls were trying to wingman their guy friend onto one of my roommates

eventually one of the girls asked "does our friend have any chance with one of your friend's tonight?"

i looked and realized what was happening, that this was a chess match between two groups of girls, us guys were the pawns

so i told her "he has as much of a chance with them as i have a chance with you"

'Neckbeard' is a slur basically akin to 'retard' and people oughtn't use it.

Huh? How do you figure?

I don't think it's that bad but I do pretty much agree with this comic that it ought to be avoided.

everydayfeminism.com/2016/02/neckbeard-cartoon/

OK, that comic makes a good point and I will refrain from using Neckbeard as an insult from now on.

I can still use fedora-wearer as an insult tho can't I??

I really wanted to be able to install my own siding, but it just seems too complicated. I called the house repair company I've been using to come give us an estimate. Sigh.
