I disagree. I think people like this think that everyone is as vile as they are. The only difference they see between themselves and others is how much power they have and how good it makes them feel to use it.

He’s just mad he’s not getting a cut.

Not likely. The problem is that you can only appeal to them in person. Any appeal made through the internet or the media will miss them completely. They self isolate in the media by only watching networks that confirm their bias against literally any climate activism and online there are algorithms that do it for them. When you do appeal to them in person, they attack you as a Soros-serving, leftist, liberal and declare that everything you tell them is fake news. They won’t believe it until it affects them personally and even then they’ll try to blame liberals for it while continuing to refuse to take positive action.

Great spot to hang out and watch the world from!

My cats have that cat tree with the bag/bed and that three-way tube toy as well. They love them both. Brownie is appropriately spoiled.

Bring it! I once wrote a basic program off of the random dungeon generator tables in the original Advanced Dungeons and Dragons - Dungeon Masters Guide using Atari BASIC.

Yes, what we call the speed of light is really the speed of light in a vacuum. When light passes through a medium like water or glass it travels slower. That causes the light to be refracted which means that it changes direction slightly based on the energy of the light (color) and the refractory index the material. Glass will refract a red laser by a certain amount while water will refract it by a different amount.

Fun fact, because different colors refract differently, when you shine a white light through a specially shaped piece of glass called a prism, you will see a rainbow pattern.

That would be nice. That way if Trump kicks in office we’ll have our first female president and she’ll be perfect for the GOP. After all, it was their lord and savior, Saint Reagan, who said “Someone once said that politics is the second-oldest profession. I’m beginning to think it bears resemblance to the first.” By that metric she is well suited for Republican politics.

“The most pressing problem is not that they’re [AI] going to take our jobs, not that they’re going to change warfare, but that they’re going to destroy human trust. They’re going to move us into a world where you can’t tell truth from falsehood. You don’t know who to trust. Trust turns out to be one of the most important features of civilization, and we are now at great risk of destroying the links of trust that have made civilization possible.” - Daniel C. Dennett

In a few years you will not know what is true or false unless you see it in person with your own eyes. Even video and audio proof are going by the wayside.

I say he is and I should know, I’ve followed a few!

When I go to bed I put my pill bottle in one place. When I take the pill in the morning, I put it in a different place. I’ve considered buying one of those timer bottle caps. They fit generic pill bottles and have timer built into the top. You can look at the timer and see how long it’s been since you opened the bottle last.

I have crossed a road at a run to beat an approaching car before, and had I been struck it definitely would’ve been my fault for not practicing proper safety.

I’m with you on this, however, the speed of the cop is an issue. At three times the speed limit, an approaching car would reach you much faster than you would expect it too. This girl may have glanced, seen the cop in the distance, and never realized how fast he was going. Frankly, if an emergency responder if taking an action this far outside the norm, they should also be taking great care because innocent bystanders cannot be expected to anticipate the responders actions.

Some pig in Florida emptied his gun into a neighborhood…

No, its’ better than that. He emptied it into his own squad car. And in a real tribute to his training, he never even hit the handcuffed suspect he had inside the squad car.

“I’m hit! I’m hit!”

Damn straight. If you go to Wisconsin and try to pass off any of that Kraft, individually-wrapped, processed cheese product as actual cheese, you may just get your ass kicked. It’d be like trying to pass off the piss they drink in Wisconsin as beer to a German.

I don’t think she was playing alone in the yard. The uncle was there and told her to go inside and she ignored him. As for coyotes, with a rottie and springer in the yard, no coyote would be an issue.

However, if you tell the kid to go inside by their mom, tell the mom that you did so. Uncle was a dumb shit. You can’t count on a three year old to do as they’re told.

You missed where it says they were recording and singing too. If you pay to go see a musical, your don’t want some no-talent bint in the seat behind you screeching along with the songs. In addition, you don’t want an ignoramus in front of you holding up their phone to record it for their social media page. Plus, they were warned multiple times and kept it up.

So how did this go down anyway? First, I heard that Musk deactivated his already active satellites in the region and thus disrupted the attack. This article suggests that the satellites were not active in the region and Musk simply refused to activate them.

Which is true because those are very different scenarios. In one, he used his authority to disrupt one government’s actions against another, thereby taking sides in the conflict. In the other, he refused to take an action that would help one side against the other, thereby refusing to take sides.

Knowing what I know of Musk, I’m currently assuming he is a Russian asset and helped them, but I’d like to know for sure.

As a publicly held company, they have a fiduciary responsibility to their share holders. Fox News, as its name suggests, sells itself to share holders as a news organization. When they repeatedly present easily fact checked conspiracy theories as news, they open themselves up to lawsuits that damage the value of the organization and therefor cost the shareholders money.

Fox News is being sued for violating their fiduciary duty to their shareholders by failing to do basic due diligence in making sure that their reporting is honest and accurate, something every other major news organization does. News organizations do this because failing to due so can lead to lawsuits that can cost millions of dollars. Fox allowed and even encouraged, I believe, on air personalities to repeatedly make false claims about Dominion Voting Systems. That action led to Fox being sued for $2.7 billion. Fox recently settled that suit for $787.5 million. That is a huge hit to their shareholders. Fox also promoted the same falsehoods against another company, Smartmatic. Smartmatic is also suing Fox for $2.7 billion dollars and their is little reason to think that suit will end any better for Fox News than the Dominion suit did.

Nonsense. It’s a job like any other. Stop projecting your morality on everyone else. She didn’t do anything wrong at all. She didn’t hurt anyone. You have no right to judge her.

The car was moving very slowly. The cop had a choice. Get out of the way and arrest her later, or go straight to extra-judicial execution. He made the wrong choice.
