Dillard Puns

Can anyone tell me what "being in the mission field" "doing missionary work" etc actually mean?

You can post wrong or serious answers, but i am honestly curious and clueless, so please mark your answers accordingly.

We knew this was coming.

When you are not responsive to feedback and are being consistently outperformed by others around you, you cannot expect to remain on top.

Derick has not been performing his required Messy Bitch duties for several weeks. Yes, showing up to the courthouse mere hours after being called out was a nice, messy touch, but sadly it was not enough to keep the title. He appears to understand how DMs work and is using that to send messages to others rather than posting it to his Snapchat story (depressing). Amy is messier, she is delivering consistently, and she is currently taking a lot of Sudafed to cure her cold (🤘). She consistently used her extended family for attention and clout for decades, and she is presently dancing on their ashes for the world to see. Wonderful.

As a community, we cannot continue give the Messiest Bitch title to Derick when he consistently fails to live up to that honor.

Now, there is a power vacuum. Who will fill it? Amy shows promise but I am not ruling rap-legend Bobyeezus out so quickly. She flipped like a fucking waffle in court and she states that she “still loves” Josh. 🤮🤔🤣

May the messiest bitch win.

At least one member of the courtroom gallery has seemingly already drawn some conclusions: Derick Dillard, Josh's brother-in-law and husband to Josh's sister Jill, told PEOPLE outside the courtroom that he felt there was only "unreasonable doubt" about whether Josh was guilty — but not "reasonable doubt."

He said he had been attending to gather all the facts. His wife, who was under subpoena, was on a list of potential witnesses but was never called.

Hello,

Please bear with me here, I am talking about my experience but I have a point and it ties in I promise. Also Trigger

*Warning for Family abuse, SA, and Chronic Illness/Neglect

So, I have always related to Jill Duggar because she seemed the most "keep sweet" of all her siblings. I could see she was clearly extremely loving and genuinely dedicated to helping whoever she could. She was extremely obedient, definitely a favorite of her parents for being so "by the book" and never made a fuss.

I was raised in a Fundamentalist homeschool family with an abusive father and extremely docile/go with the flow mother. I was homeschooled PreK-12th grade. My mom even does the Michelle squeaky high voice thing, but admittedly even she can't keep it up all the time. I was the oldest daughter and extremely parentified. My parents were not as extreme as the Duggars, but my parents were very conservative and my mother tried to emulate the Duggar way of life lol.

I related to Jill. She seemed so afraid all the time but desperately clinging to God and religion for a rescue. I could see we shared some of the perfectionism and overly self sacrificing thing. I felt like she genuinely cared about people and I still think that about her. I know for myself, I compulsively helped other people because I was hurting so badly myself.

I'm no longer in my old community and am estranged from my parents and one of my siblings. I live with my boyfriend (scandalous) and watch R rated movies.

I was DEEP in the abuse. I made myself sick with trying to be perfect and helpful and help with the family and being afraid of damnation and trying to manage my own education and going to church and being abused by my father and my mother always backing him up..... It got to the point where I genuinely believed I could never get away or get out because I was being told that breaking away from the family was betrayal and that choosing anything different meant God would smite me and it was only a matter of time before my sin would catch up to me.

It was all consuming...the gaslighting and being told "this is normal. This is just how family is" I remember being so confused because I was making myself sick over living a holy life, meanwhile, the parents I had were casually condemning everyone in the world while making little to no effort to ACTUALLY emulate Christ. I was constantly told I had to forgive 7x7 times like the Bible says... I remember sobbing in the shower begging God not to mak

Wether it is commenting 🤔 on Jim Bobs senatorial announcement or starting chaos in Twitter comment sections, we cannot deny that Derick has given us a lot of messy content over the years. We also must acknowledge that he was the one who contacted Jim Bob first to be his “prayer partner” while he was white-savoring Nepal (definitely not for attention or to maybe land of JB’s Proverbs 13 daughters, definitely not). But I argue that Bobye has come out with MESSIER, DUMB-BITCHIER content in the last few days that we cannot ignore. Firstly, this dumb broad was so deep in the sludge that she popped out a litter of children, was BFFs with JB and Meetch (lol, how?), and “betrothed” her literal child to another literal child. All quality dumb bitch content. Then she plays the ultimate Uno-reverse card and testifies AGAINST her exBFFs and the monster she was about to foist her daughter off on. (Chefs kiss). But wait, there’s more. THEN this dumb bitch gets her grubby little fingers on Facebook (because, of course) to post snide Bible verses and biblically laden snark in between her usual anti-everything-that-is-good-in-the-world content. I mean, we aren’t even paying her for this mess! She was fully-in the cult and then FULLY committed to Facebook slander. J’adore.

All I am saying is Derick needs to step up his game because there is a new sheriff in town and her name is not spelled how it sounds. I’d recommend a chaotic Instagram live or a screenshotted donation to Rim Jobs political rival. Do better.

UPDATE: at around 1:30 The Sun reported that Derick came through. He was the only family member at court and sat in the family section. Still unclear if he did this after my post or before, but I’m going to take credit anyway. So, Derick: LOVE the progress I’m seeing, bud. You were open to feedback and willing to change, well done. The title is still yours, but I’m going to need to see some more effort if you want to keep it. Bob-Yeezus is not off Facebook yet, and your wife’s recent bleach and tone won’t keep you afloat for long. Blessings. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💩

Would you package Dillard for a trade involving Ridley? If yes, what should the trade look like? I know it’s going to take more than just Dillard alone.

This has been edited and reposted so as to remove the brigading rule break and to hand hold people that have no idea why it matters or has an impact on GME. First the post that I am quoting:

So, what does this have to do with GME? Well, with the basket of shorted stocks such as with block buster, bed bath and beyond, GME, and others as has been thought up if there is a large dividend issued by dillards then this will hurt the shorted stocks. This is because if you are short on a stock then you have to pay a dividend to every shorted stock you have. In the case of dillards this would be $15 per share. If you recall when BBBY was doing a share buy back we also saw an impact to GME as a stock as well.

TL;DR

If citadel is still short on DDS and has them in the short basket then we could see the knife being twisted on the 29th or around then.

I left this a comment on another post but felt like it could stand alone. TL;DR at the end.

JB manufactured a life for himself and his family where HE was the was the authority and claimed it was God's will. Through creating a cult of personality around himself, that also created a cult of personality around his son.

Because cults of personality rely on people contributing to them by unwavering loyalty and without question, and because JB wanted and continues to want POWER, he is willing to go to whatever lengths it will take to maintain that control.

Pest, as the heir to this cult of personality, from here on COP, is not only going to be treated like a royal heir, but encouraged to continue to build up more support for his father's COP. So to say anything about Pest that is less than positive is a direct attack on their COP that they've been building.

It doesn't matter that they're WRONG and IMMORAL people. Their whole gig is that YOU are and if you question their morality it's because YOU are looking to create some form of instability within the COP. Not because you care about whatever subject on a personal or human level, it's an attack, always. A personal attack. And because Pest was to be the next JB, any question of his moral character is an attack on JB.

So when Pest was initially found to be a predator, if this was brought before any actual people who could help the family and offer any kind of real resources, that would destroy the illusion of the COP that was already forming/formed before TLC picked up on the family. When this was exposed, they could not address it as if they felt they handled it incorrectly, because JB would lose that infallible aura he so carefully crafted. Pest could not be treated as a threat, a criminal, anything he IS, and WAS, but like a rebellious son who's since come back into the fold.

So now we get to when the initial cracks are showing. Pest, JB, and Meech, have to figure out quickly how to explain away the obviously dangerous reality into an "acceptable" truth and claim that "it happens to a bunch of families..." So that they can create an inkling of doubt among the weak minded people they rely on to feed the COP around JB and Pest. This worked well enough, TLC still fed into the collective pot with Counting On.

When the Ashley Madison scandal broke, Pest was exposed... again... and a threat again... to the COP so carefully crafted and maintained around his father and now himself. So as any person who

Yes we know Derick tried to run over a cat, bullied Jazz Jennings, and took donations from a certain J Duggar. When Derick took a donation from J, I first thought how dismissive he was of everything that came out. Then recently I think he could have been trying to get something out of him as "retribution".

These people aren't gonna suddenly swing liberal and I don't look for an apology about Jazz anytime soon. But dang give them some credit they got into therapy and stop thinking the Bateses are better who haven't' even begun ot change.

I have been working at Dillard's for about a year now. I began working at 18, I am now 19. For any young people looking to go into retail, stay away from Dillard's.

Since working for Dillard's I have only been given 6 days off. I have worked at Dillard's for 11 and half months, and have only had 6 days off, 3 being holidays. I understood I would be working 40+ hours a week, and I am fine with that, but every day is unreasonable. The store manager is almost never there. They manipulate hours, so you come in every day. One day, you might come in for a 3-4 hour shift, another you might come in for 8.

I work in the shoe department, which has a quota. We must sell a certain amount per hour, usually between 120-300 dollars an hour. If you do not make that amount you go into "Deficit". This means you owe money to the company, which means your pay is cut to meet this. I have only had one month in deficit, just due to slow sales, but I know people who have been in one since they started working there.

Dillards has a credit card, that employees must sell one a week of. If they do not, they are told to come in off the clock to a 45 minute "Credit meeting". This is why most associates ruin a very good experience with a customer, by having to be pushy about the Dillard's Credit Card. Also, you do not receive your employee discount unless you sign up and get approved for this Dillard's credit card.

During the hiring process, they told me I could make commissions in the shoe department. They bragged on how some made 6-7 thousand more a month just in commissions. Well, this is overly exaggerated. Only a few employees make extra money a month. These employees do this by, stealing sales from other associates, and stealing customers from other areas of the store. These practices create a hostile working environment. I have seen some of the most outgoing people quit due to these practices.

This last experience has been the icing on the cake in some ways. I went to my store manager and told her I was interested in going to university. The response I received was "Well I guess you are not as money motivated as I thought. College is for people who want to be mistreated their whole lives."

The CEOs of the company have been ok with all of these behaviors. They come and visit our store every few months. Alex Dillard has called our store and its management "Outstanding".

After examining Dillards (DDS) since the beginning of the pandemic, the stock has risen from $25 to almost $360.. over the course of the past month Dillards stock has risen from $170 to its current position at $360.

There is a little to no justification outside of better than expected retail sales???? Supply Chain constraints and massive inflation seem to be non existent for this company. Guess it’s that Christmas rush to the malls in November that keep this spaceship vertical.

With an RSI above 80 the relative strength of this company seems to resemble a wheelchair ramp to tendie town… my best guess is we are witnessing the next “Retail Tesla”.

Where do you see Dillards stock by next year?

I'm looking to buy a real winter coat and I remember that Dillards in Lakeside usually had a yearly sale sometime in January or February. Does anyone know when the sale may occur this year?

Next player in my “What should we do with this guy” series is a former first round pick. Andre Dillard this season has played 278 offensive snaps. He earned a solid 69.5 grade from PFF and only allowed 1 sack, but also had 6 penalties. My question simply is what should we do with him? We need to make a decision on his fifth year option after the season and was wondering what you would do with Dillard if you were the Eagles. Here’s a list of options off of the top of my head.

1. Decline the option. Use him as a cheap backup for next season and move on.

2. Decline the option. Trade him.

3. Accept the option. Have him wait until we move on from Lane, slide Mailata over to RT and have Dillard play LT.

4. Accept the option. Spend the offseason cross-training the shit out of him in hopes of turning him into a swing tackle who could be RT of the future. He said in an interview the reason he felt nervous about playing RT had to do with muscle memory. Maybe giving him constant reps at RT throughout the Spring and Summer could solve that issue.

What are your thoughts?

“Missionaries”

Missionaries of all Christian denominations cite a passage in the Bible which Jesus asks his followers to "make disciples of all nations.” This passage is known to missionaries as the Great Commission, and is held to be some of Jesus' final instructions to his disciples before ascending to heaven. (If you believe in this kind of thing, that is.)

With this idea in mind, Jill and Derrick (of the lord jesus) took to GoFundMe to grift ask for money in order to head south and brainwash the people of Central America while asking unknowing Guatemalans (or wherever in the hell they were) to become the face of their charity work.

Did they fight the systemic injustices they benefit from in their own country? No.

Did they do anything to confront or dismantle the violence they spoke about on camera? Absolutely the fuck not.

Did they bask in the praise for all the good they were doing? You betcha.

What pretends not to be a scam but is absolutely a scam? Two religious zealots who raised their own funds to self-sustain themselves while living abroad and spreading the word.

Whiteness and being a passport holding Christian are not qualifications for helping to improve the lives of others in poor countries. They were simply taking advantage of desperate people.

In case you forgot, here is some information on why they were accused of scamming.

Here’s another one.

And another.

Dillard was the 2nd highest graded player on offense per PFF. He had a couple of rough snaps but generally played well against the Cowboys pass rush. I think we may have been a little too quick to call him a bust because of misdirected angst, his lack of availability so far, and the emergence of Mailata. Imo, Dillard will be a valuable backup on this team that should not be traded, and the beat writers and fans were way too hard on him in camp. He deserves another chance.

Good morning, dividend investors!

I came across this news and thought I'd pass it along. Here is a summary, and the link to the source below:

Dillard's Inc. announced a special dividend of $15 per share for its Class A and Class B common stock, "a sum that the company said it's distributing to thank shareholders but will also result in a hefty payment for the Dillard family."

Their total dividend payout will be about $112.8 million.

SEC filings show the company's 401K plan includes nearly 41% of available Class A stock, meaning those enrolled will get a boost for their retirement package.

The dividend is payable Dec. 15 to shareholders of record as of Nov. 29.

The company said the dividend is a "special thanks" to shareholders who "stuck with us through unprecedented times and have been instrumental in achieving our remarkable success this year."

Dillard's reported fiscal third-quarter profit of $197.3 million, a 518% increase from the $31.9 million in profit reported the same quarter last year.

The company on Friday also declared a cash dividend of 20 cents per share on Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend is payable Jan. 31 to shareholders of record as of Dec. 31.
