I could see this becoming normal as the often corrupt, violent and authoritarian police unions are attempted to be held to account or reshaped; curious what state law and/or their CBA will say about this…Reagan and Republicans would want to break this wild, liberal union cash grab…right guys? Just like Biden broke the rail strike?
it’s now a beautiful and welcoming space for the community
Including the ones you can’t see!
“we wanted you to learn about financial markets–but not like that!” - school boards and PTOs
“Two small pair…8s and 8s” is still a staple at family card games.
That sniper rifle was so dope, but the accuracy of CPU players with an AK like across the map and then /gaspingsoundwhenhit was so frustrating lol
Disagree. https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/31/24284435/fcc-net-neutrality-isp-sixth-circuit-oral-arguments
Republicans are desperate for people to give up on government so they can continue doing everything they can to dismantle the only opposition to corporatocracy. The party controlling the FCC, the elected officials in Congress, supreme Court justices…they all matter in turning the shop around. Republicans have been trying to run the ship aground.
Goldeneye Surface level PTSD. Enemies beyond your sight horizon due to fog/snow, no map overlay for relative positioning, memorization was the only way to not get lost.
Sorry but we’re raising the minimum retirement age to 72
Astrology is such a much of junk, I mean why look so far away at the stars for answers when the truth of your future can easily be read in your palm lines? So crazy the lengths people will go to avoid the truth.
Haven’t heard “gay” as a pejorative in real life since high school in the late 90s.
At this point it’s like the Onion article that they release after every school shooting about how nothing can be done to prevent it in the only country where it occurs regularly; the data raping and pillaging that goes on in the US despite other countries having passed basic common sense privacy and control laws…well too bad you can’t afford the lobbyists to pass it, Poor.
So it’s all “treat the symptoms” rather than addressing what has changed in society, economy and culture to produce such increases?
Rapacious companies that inexhaustibly need more so your boss, or his, or theirs or the shareholders can buy another yacht?
Cost of living where many have given up on achieving what their parents did because the rigged game is so transparent?
Redistribution of wealth(through actual reasonable wages not poverty margins) and meritocracy in economy, mandatory flexible work arrangements, would be a good combination of starts for many.
I’m American and reading this, we have all the same ills–only most of us can’t take time off to be sick with any pay beyond 40 hours per year…and thats in the “progressive states”. Granted a few have state paid leaves now, like 5/50, and it’s real progress in the last few years but we are so far behind. hope things get bad enough the government actually starts turning over the right rocks finally.

Sure…I mean a play without asides? The temptation and effect can be glorious if used appropriately.
Toxic climate change and toxic masculinity-- don’t mess with Toxas.
Healthcare, education, transportation…it’s like the opposite of the Life of Brian scene about the Romans talking about what they brought areas they took control of.
The article says it’s not illegal? Would hope to fuck there are some basic boundaries by law.
Recommend high quality short stories. Edgar Allen Poe has a collection that is some of the most thrilling, mysterious and fun, imaginative, adventurous, grotesque and other depending on the story. https://www.amazon.com/Edgar-Allan-Poe-Complete-Collection/dp/1453643141
Robert Louis Stevenson was also a fantastic writer of short stories.https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Short-Stories-Robert-Stevenson/dp/030680882X
I like short stories sometimes as I can’t commit to a larger read.
Trump may beat everyone to it. Bash on immigrants as he loves to since it brings out poor white folks, many of his financial backers are industries like service (hotels, restaurants, Ag) who are already understaffed because they’ve made the jobs so awful only truly desperate or illegal workers will stand them. He will seriously trigger “a day without immigrants” meanwhile upending prices through tariffs that will screw most Americans who are already living in debt and skipping basics. Unfortunately for America, there will not be another election if he wins this week.
