I expect firing them would have a positive expectation on the project versus having them hang around and poisoning the team. But I would give them a talking to and one chance to get their shit together first. Any problems after that and they are gone.
Heās only 1/9ths unicode, are you denying 8/9ths of his ascii heritage?

No, that is sweet tea, which is strictly a Southern thing. Except itās weird that they donāt call it sweet tea and they donāt the faintest trace of a Southern accent, so Iām calling bullshit on this, itās a troll.
In America, we microwave a cup of water and throw a teabag of Tazo in and wait a minute or two.

You are correct, but sheās definitely not from the sweet tea belt, accent is way too light.
OK, what is that blue stuff in front of that chardonnay bottle? Itās like in those Sunny D commercials where mom has purple stuff in the fridge that no one wants to drink. But anyway, Iām going to zoom and enhance on that fridge magnet there: COMPUTER! ZOOM AND ENHANCE!
Thatās an Ohio fridge magnet if you ask me. 100% this is a failmom from suburban Kentucky who married a car dealer in the suburbs of Cincinnati and now spends her free time drinking wine and trolling the libs on TikTok.

What are you some kind of monster or something?
So Iām watching Boomer TV in the background as one does and thereās this episode of Batman where Adam West (as Batman) and Robin team up with the Green Hornet and Kato (as played by Bruce Lee) to fight Roger C Carmel, whom you will remember as being Harvey Mudd from Star Trek with the great handlebar mustache and everything.
And anyway, Roger C Carmelās supervillain power is that he has a handlebar mustache and heās really into pink color schemes. Like, his lady friend has a pink Karen hairdo and a pink lapdog. And then thereās a fight scene where henchmen in pink jumpsuits fight the Dynamic Duo and Roger C Carmel socks Adam West right in his goddamn face and sends him into a glue pad where heās trapped and is going to be turned into a stamp or some crazy shit. God bless Adam West, that man could sell anything, I see him getting punched by Roger C Carmel and I buy it completely.
Anyway, goddamn, Boomer TV is so fucking groovy, I could watch this shit all day long. I donāt understand how Boomers grew up watching this kind of campiness and then decided that gay couples shouldnāt have visitation rights, like what the hell.

The thing about 1960ās Batman and Robin is that they got the shit beaten out of them ~50% of the time. In episode one generic unarmed thugs always get the best of them and tie them up and throw them into a deathrap. The supervillains donāt even have superpowers. Like, what was the Eggmanās (as played by Vincent Price) superpower? He could throw eggs at you? He could deliver savage egg-related puns?
1960ās Batman and Robin were really not very good at their job and they got their shit kicked in by a lot of goofy middle-aged men but they still dusted themselves off and came back swinging in the second act. Thatās the real heroism if you ask me.

The most brutal thing about the 60s Batman and Robin was that they replayed it on Saturday mornings in the mid 70s. I spent every other weekend with my Dad, who adamantly didnāt own a TV.
So I always saw them getting fed to the giant clam. But I never got to see how they got out of their predicament.
It fucked me up.

This is the most depressing story Iāve ever heard
I was going to post this in the primary thread after all of the Eye of Sauron talk, but there are serious/not serious discussions in there O_o

Nobody believes less in the power of their faith than the faithful.

I used to belong to an eastern orthodox church in the US. The congregation was about half immigrant families and half converts. Most of the converts were from various conservative protestant sects. I think a lot of those converts were drawn to the church partly because orthodoxy presents itself as something like a total institution; for historical reasons the way of life of the church assumes more integration between the religion and surrounding culture than mainline protestant groups do, at least in the US (or Europe). Itās less pluralistic, and that includes pretty strong antipathy towards unorthodox views or other religions. Thereās a lot of conservative Christians in the US who view the culture wars through this lens of spiritual warfare where stuff like Yoga is a threat, and their views are very similar to what youād find in contemporary Russian orthodoxy in that regard, at least AFAIK.

I find it disconcerting. The level of whatever defines the opposite of critical thought it would take to implement the ban for 27 years, then OK the practice as long as we agree to call components of it by a different name and ban chanting boggles my mind. I wonder how they feel about The Smurfs?

Yoga started a hundred years ago as a scam by a rich white euro lady that stole eastern spiritualism and combined it with german calisthenics. So yeah, a lot of American Christians get their feathers ruffled when you go on their private religious site and recommend another weird religious practice to them. Itās been neutered and white washed to appeal to modern women and gays (much like Christianity) but its origins are inherently religious.
gays?
