I completely expected at least some incidents of crowds mass uprising against cops during the 2020 brutalities. I don't mean burning down police stations. I mean literally attacking every cop on the street after Twitter was awash with cops running over protesters, cracking an old mans skull open, etc. I would have thought cops would be afraid of citizen mobs coming to their homes.
The degree of repression that we just accept, despite our anger, is shocking to me. And I say this as an anti-violence person. I wouldn't have taken part in such an uprising. But I thought there are enough people who would be pushed over the edge that I was sorta dismayed that a mini-revolution didn't happen.
Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....
FDR is why there's an amendment prohibiting it. He's speaking openly of violating the constitution. Hey "patriots", isn't that supposed to be a thing that makes you mad?
Context: In addition to all the other lies he's told about his mythology (CIA asset, martial arts trained, whatever), he's also 120% Jamaican. If you add that up with all his other bogus claims about racial heritage, the man is over 1000% human. So of course he's able to do almost anything and super cool. Plus he shot a dog on that show where he played law enforcement, which is about the coolest thing anyone's done.
The amount of harm caused by Reagan and specifically engineered to be possible after his time in office is immense. The man was a rat to his fellow actors, informing on suspected socialists and commies. He only got worse from there.
Might be possible with Intel's new Thunderbolt Share, but you'd need some hacks to make it work with present-day hardware and it hasn't been released yet.

I mean, if all you want is mediocre food chains, fast food, a bowling alley, and a movie theater, you're pretty set. That's not enough for me, hence why I left.
According to the McCready Law Group, the statute of limitations in California is one year for simple assault. For felony assault, it is three years.
Oh, wow. That's not nearly long enough for someone who is in an abusive relationship. It can take years to extract oneself from such a situation. I mean, if it was a random bar fight between strangers or even friends, sure. But abusive relationships can go on for fucking years because of the psychological and emotional abuse that accompanies the physical abuse, neither of which apply to a random scuffle.
At what point does the court assign someone to have power of attorney to carry out the court-ordered steps toward restitution? Is such a thing possible? I have to think that it is.
I don't typically watch YT vids that people who I don't know recommend cause I don't want YT to start suggesting low quality crap. Can anyone fill me in on what happened here?

I did, but the past eight years have really flipped the script. MAGA has poisoned the republican party. Alt-right figures have become powerful enough to dictate terms for their party in enough cases as to be a serious threat to our country.

Single door is nicer bc you only have to open one door, the french doors you often have to open both bc they are too small to get to things unless it's in the door compartment. Opening or closing both doors with things in your hands gets old, and if you want to get into the meat drawer you have to open both sides fully then...
We didn't get the response? @Bones, you've been consistently entertaining me with the posts that make me question how these people think. This was the opportunity to find out how they'd respond!
I'm deducting one internet point. Don't worry, you have a mountain of them and won't notice.
When I was in my early twenties, I opened a savings account and the banker didn't tell me that the amount that I was depositing was bellow the minimum balance. I was instantly dinged. At that age, I wasn't confident enough to call bullshit. I ate the penalty.
Today, I would demand a refund and I'd politely make it clear that I was taking my business elsewhere because the bank obviously didn't have proper ethics training. I'd do it in such a way as to diplomatically put that person's job at risk. If they didn't get fired for ripping me off, they'd for sure be on notice with their boss.
Banks are so corrupt that they get away with all kinds of evil. But not at the lowly level of a peon in a branch. That I might tell friends and family about the experience might not protect the "little person" on the front lines. Execs can get away with fucking murder.
But I thought that after the disastrous winter a few years ago, Texas politicians would take action to ensure the reliability of their power grid? How could this be?
Oh, wait, their leadership spent all their time engaged in stupid culture-war bullshit like bussing migrants and deliberately drowning them with barbed wire and passing any number of bills that didn't look out for the well being of their constituents. Holy fuck! I'm so disillusioned. I never thought in a million years that this would happen again.
You reap what you sow, you fucks. And to all the progressive people in Texas who voted against the shits that did this to you, my heart goes out to you.
“I believe he believes in God and our military men and women, in our country, in America,” said Tammy Houston of New Lexington, Ohio.
It's truly depressing how thoughtless these people are. Every one of those points is easily disputed by doing bit of research. But the sort of "research" they do is going down conspiracy rabbit holes, not reading reputable sources.
From 2020 onward, I have nothing but contempt for a large swath of my fellow citizens. I used to simply disagree or dislike. But they've really revealed themselves to be absolute shitbags. Fucking monsters. And completely unable to think for themselves, to the detriments of everyone else.
I remember reading about flat-earthers in 2018 and being upset about the idea. My then partner said I was over-reacting and it doesn't affect me. "These people vote," I said. How I'd love to run into her today and ask whether stupid conspiracy theories have had an effect on us.
I'm sure this is a dumb programming error (files are not deleted until overwritten with new data with solid state media). A boneheaded fuckup. Another person reported old voicemails being flagged as new. Either way, I'm waiting to upgrade to this version as a result.
I think summer starts in June, but still very cute and I'm happy for kitty to have nice warm tiles. Bonus points for being able to surveil everyone from on-high.
And now with Google regurgitating a summary of the content they've crawled there will be no incentive to publish because no one will click through to get ad payments.
The far-right and zionist bullies were just looking for an excuse for violence. They may have longterm hatred on their sider, but not a genuine desire to effect change at all cost. I'm not surprised the youth prevail.
It's worth considering that a lot of melatonin is sold as gummies. They're tasty. Little kids finds candy (gummies) and eats a whole bottle. Uh oh.
I'm sure there is a non-dangerous, or at least not life threatening, dose for most kids. I'd be surprised if one gummy sent a 10yo or similar aged kid to an ER without other extenuating circumstances.
Y'know, I really value the opinion of some low-rent trashy shithead who vapes and gropes her date in public, so… I've changed my mind. I'm voting for Trump.
He raised his gun. That's what a witness told us. And we didn't trust our officers when they said he didn't. In fact, we went with witness over what the officers knew to be true because it provided cover for an unjustified killing.
In fact, let's drop the charade. The officers all had an "oh shit" moment after the murder and colluded to lie about him raising his gun. We only invented this witness account after we were caught in a lie. Btw, we need more funding
After the arrests of pro-Palestine student protesters occupying a Columbia University building last month, New York Mayor Eric Adams and senior police officials repeatedly said there were "no injuries," no "violent clashes" and minimal force used....
It was just as clear that those kids were faking their injuries as the Palestinians were faking dead children. Which is to say that the injuries were very real.
I initially thought maybe it was in response to Jan 6th, like, "oh no, we're out of control." But other bits I've seen about it suggest otherwise. Anyway, fuck him. I don't care if he jokes on a meal and dies. Wait…
He was carrying a knife and an iron bar when an officer shot him dead. His identity and motive are unclear.
So no gun and you're not sure his motives. I wonder if the "growing anti-semitism" that everyone (zionists) has been warning about made this a convenient cover story.
