“Years ago now — 15 years ago — I was in Washington doing ‘Meet the Press.’ It was a sunny Sunday and lightning struck at home on a little lake that is outside of our home — not on a lake, a big pond,” Biden said.

“And it hit a wire and came up underneath our home into the heating ducts, air conditioning ducts. And to make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my ’67 Corvette and my cat.”

    And were they right? Or were they just a bunch of losers too emotionally immature to maintain a marriage? I’m guessing the latter. Fucking men.

      One is divorced and has a few DV charges, the other I later found out was a horrible, racist sex pest. There were 5 people on the sex offender registry all working at the same time at one point while I was there. There were only like 20 people in the building at any given time.

      I know "good luck" usually is said in jest, but I'm having incredible luck being married to her. Best decision I, or we ever made

        Mind telling what line of work is so full of sex pests? My first thought was "cop" tbh, but then these people wouldn't be on any list.

          Commercial bakery. There's a distinct lack of people trained in that field. The ones that do get trained go on to work at little pastry shops and nice kitchens. Those of us that just crank out loaves are usually a motley crew

              It's similar to a kitchen atmosphere in my experience. The ones that have a storefront like the one I run now have to keep a lid on the kinds of music and discussions we have in case a customer comes in. That helps cut down on the weirdos. Also, I reluctantly found myself to be the most knowledgeable and senior employee, so I guess I'm in charge now? The upside is I get to curate the vibe, and vet the people that apply.

              I've had a fair few people in their early twenties come through and I have to say, they seem pretty radicalized. The kids are alright
