Oh... who are those said friends? Amazon, Boeing, and Starbucks are all based/founded in Washington. They simply enjoyed the tax breaks as the largest employers until now. Microsoft was founded in New Mexico and relocated to Bellevue, WA then finally Redmond, WA. I don't know about the corps ever "moving in", but the C-Suites at those places are definitely not people-friendly. Greed is a not to be underestimated, and there are fewer and fewer people in power who are kept in check these days.
The cat seemed to be well-fed at least?... The fur coat doesn't seem ragged and surprisingly not flailing about on the guy... Likely one of those naive domestic indoor types that that lacks a sense of danger... Hopefully the owner had it chipped.But it must have been a real awful psychopath who bagged it and dumped it into trash alive. My pessimism tells me it was likely a psychopathic kid who did it to a defenseless animal.
What's fake about it? It's a demo of her skill with twirling what looks like a plastic or carbon fiber stick around. One *could* do it with a bo or a smaller and easier handling "Jo staff". But these are usually made out of solid oak. A mishandle and one is practically looking at broken furniture or a hole in the wall. For "practical" fighting, these light sticks are pretty useless as they lack the mass and tensile strength for impact. But they're fine for demonstrating skills.
It could be the same beach - just in reverse order. Given the "waterfront properties" of aza is potentially up for redevelopment after anne- the property is secured by the state to ensure no more civi- terrorists can threaten the security of the nation anymore. Yes, I'm pessimistic and I'll let people read between the lines.
Hypothetically? He could pre-emptively order the NG to "comply" with ICE Law Enforcement. Comply inefficiently with an extreme passive-aggressiveness or apathy to effectively grind the entire process to a halt. The hope is the NG has at least enough sense to make themselves visible and effectively notify people of ICE presence without actually harming nor refusing federal orders, thus not giving the window for an Insurrections Act and billing the feds for the deployment.
The NG won't be "siding with ICE"; The Posse Comitatus Act prevents them from doing so. What could happen is if the president declares the Insurrections Act and federalizes the NG. It is one of those things normal people never have to think about unless something drastic happens... such as a toddler-in-chief getting advices from malicious race war advocates about getting his next shiny trophy.
My impression is Walz can't do shi* aside from what remains of the court/judicial system. States rights apparently only applies to red states and not blue states ATM. The NG can be federalized through the insurrections act with the president's authority overriding the state's governor. It is a strange and dangerous time, but 1A, 3A, 4A is basically getting crossed out and ignored. Pleading the 5th is an auto admission of guilt if you're not the favorite or can't pay for a pardon.
Lucky or unlucky fox? IDK but damn I feel bad for it. The den is completely collapsed and it seems to have suffered broken hind leg(s). I get the workers are/were just doing their job but... yeah, mixed feelings here. Human expansion and industries always comes at the expense of nature and/or animals to claim otherwise is pure ignorance.
holy shi* yes that was very, very hard to spot... the only giveaway were the indentations in the snow. At the 3-5 second mark where the fake cat stopped, the snow indentation isn't there and the prints/indentation in the snow became very inconsistent from that point on.I definitely missed it on the first pass.
That image ... well, I can only assume the life of that dumb bird is a comedic tragedy.
LinkedIn is practically a cesspool of AI generated profiles and "AI-powered" tracking services looking for the same key words on user profiles... At least in the US - fewer and fewer recruiters actually care. Getting the first job/entry level job straight out of school now is nearly impossible unless you know someone at the hiring place. My pessimistic outlook aside, I wish the best for @OP; I was in the same spot a decade ago before this AI bubble blowup.
Depends on said existence... and whether or not you consider it a "blessing".Psychopaths and Sociopaths without empathy for others as an example will never experience depression. It's usually just anger, rage and malicious willful actions the longer they live. Hell, just look at the US president. The only anxiety he has is whether or not he can't get bubba (and I guess losing the authority of the office).
Eh, once the automatic transfers stop on the bills somebody will come. But given how much is automated these days, nobody will notice the tenant is dead until the landlord/management, bank rep, or the repo man pays a visit. But they're more likely to loot the place at that point than worry about who or what the body is. Hell, I live in an apartment. If I die in my unit, people will find out on the next unit inspection that happens bi-annually.
Yes, some "humans" for sure. I'm unsure about kids given that most kids who are properly parented won't need the belt/fist/paddle/stick/switch. As for the truly psychopathic kids who murder and torture small animals... well, suffice to say I expect the worst in humanity in those cases and have little to no hope for them.
Buddy, chimps in the wilds right now are likely far less "safe" if you consider human expansion alone. Never mind the facts chimps have factions/clans that compete, murder, and canabalize their dead rivals among the shrinking resources. That mom chimp probably knows how terrible humans can be as well. Some animals experience the worst of the worst and the best of a terrible situation. Human common sense rarely applies to animals trying to survive.
The reminder that tinder dates are more honest about their wants than hinge and other "serious" dating apps full of sociopaths.
I heard that by being an idiot voting against your own interest and you'll get the face-eating ones for free.
Depends on which country (or scum) are in the world. There are folks love this deranged level of incompetence that they'll stop at nothing to support the orange turd to advance their own agenda. I think we will never know what and how much secrets or favors has been paid for down in Florida or stolen out of the white house and agencies. It's crazy to think the social security stuff copied off to a billionaire's private cloud by a bunch of kids is likely just a small thing in the sh.t show..
I'm no lawyer, but there was clearly a link to an article describing the legal process(es) states can take by arresting law-breaking federal agents and trying them through state courts. Yes, it may eventually lead to federal courts overturning them but the idea is to make it difficult, expensive, and punishing for malicious acting agents. There was also the comparison of how the similar legal threats were done to doctors to discourage doctors from providing abortion services.
Aside from the slightly cloudy left eye, yeah, that is an amazingly healthy looking 20 years old cat. Belly fat looks intact and only slightly matted fur/hair on the hind legs. Must've ate right and had enough discipline to not eat/lick everything it sees. Congrats to OP, here's to hoping that cat lives another 20 years.
That's fine, let's put it in the view that he pleads the 5th. Assuming that is the case, "responsible" adults should investigate properly and punish accordingly. There are situations in which good samaritans do not want to be identified; this kid is very much like that in this case. The school failed this child by expelling him rather than appealing for a judge to rule and and legislation changes to the existing defined laws and policies.
Depends on the interpretation and enforcement. Zero Tolerance for intelligent and compassion seems to rule the day in most public schools however as shown in this case. The child disassembled the gun and didn't want to ruin his classmate's life by reporting the case to terrible adults who laid down the hammer without care. I suppose it was an awful lesson to teach kids that most adults are morons and do not care to resolve problems for the kids they are responsible for.
Oh yeah, I learned that the hard way, being an autistic kid in public school was awful. Cold hard reality is "A crime isn't a crime until a suspect is reported, caught, tried, and punished". Authorities can choose/makeup a suspect, ineptly document, catch, prosecute and/or simply selectively enforce the law at their choosing. It's even more fck'd we're literally seeing that play out now in our adulthood. Gonna see how long the FA lasts before FO.
I had to look it up and it seems to be from outside the us of a.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vRX-BQAjeE
I dunno man, i don't own a house nor a car. Not even physical collections of hobbies. Just 2000+ licenses to games on digital libraries. We'll see if retirement or retirement homes are even a thing after the grand larceny we are living through right now.
I wish people will start understanding that as an individual not in an elected office, that the state is not "theirs". "Your" state implies you own it, when in reality the people elected into power dictates the terms of power. You may own a part of the state (lucky you) through properties. But for a good half of the Americans, home ownership is impossible.Ironically, the quote by Oscare WIlde that “Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.”
Be careful of what you wish for. Robo Cop 2 basically had a psychopathic crack head installed into a killing machine searching for its next nuke setup by a megacorp. Given the current political climate... the inability to feel fear and pain while adhering to "executive orders" is basically bringing more of the worst sci-fi dystopia into reality.
Yeah I'm not an expert, but I recall as a kid that one of my neighbors had a big old tree with its roots getting into septic tank down the block. Suffice to say, it stank for a while after the tree removal was finished.
Makes one with above average intelligence wonder how stupid this all actually is. Those billionaires spent their entire career on PMIs and ROIs yet can't even be bothered look at the simple metric of trying to double the wealth of the poorest 10%, 5% or even 1% every 10 years. Yes it is *that* easy and doable within 1-2 generations. Instead what we see is them trying to double the wealth gap between them and the people not in the top 0.1% every year.
impressive... and she didn't even have her backfoot driving the punch.
