“No problem” given as a response to “Thank you” or “Appreciate your help”, just drives me crazy. Why would anyone use a double negative to reply to a positive statement? The word “No” is a negative. The word “Problem” is a negative. What the hell are these cretins thinking? Whatever the hell happened to “You’re welcome”, or “My pleasure”?

Diversity


You are so right. Diversity is the left’s way to get more seats on every board, commission, or elected body. It allows the left to justify hiring or admitting unqualified people. While passing over those who are qualified. Diversity is used as a moral goal. Its like it was in the Bible or Torah somewhere. Maybe a commandment that was left out of some revision. Thought shall hire or admit those who are not right for the position in order to teach a lesson to those passed over that life is not fair.

Stupid poll. “Woke” is probably the most annoying one this year.

I think he said "nothingburger" was his word and that was the thread winner or ender.

He meant no harm to the thread.

Stand down

Click-bait phrases like, “......You won’t believe what happens next.”

“Whatever” goes back even further.

I graduated high school in 1980. “Whatever” was such a favorite word of mine - I hang my head in shame - that I signed yearbooks with “Forever? Whatever!”

My girlfriend in high school looked exactly like that girl. I had to look twice to see if it was her. I only know for sure because she would never wear that necklace, even in 1978
