People need to learn that when they hear 'inflation is down', it doesn't mean things are getting cheaper, it just means that the increase in cost is slowing down.

Is it a psychological tactic that news media is using to make consumers more complacent? Who knows. But, whenever I hear someone mention that phrase like things are improving, I die a little more each time.

My sister's fiance thought just because an iPhone (for instance) was designed in the states that it wouldn't be subject to tariffs, despite being made in China and using foreign parts.

Animal torture is really common trait in psychopathy.

The guy needs to be detained and evaluated whether he would get a prison sentence or sent to a psych ward. He, however, will probably just get 6-12mo without any evaluation and likely continue; just behind closed doors next time.

I see it as more that, if you can't figure out how to load the chuck on a drill, you shouldn't be using one without supervision; gender irregardless.

The thing with Robin is that, regardless of his mental health, he would've been the type of person to curse the choice of bringing someone back to be wasted on him.

While it is commonly believed he took his life due to a constant battle with depression, we do not know exactly what his resolve was, and bringing him back could be seen as hell in his eyes.

Why was an open-faced sandwich just randomly sitting on a windowsill without a plate, or even a paper towel?

Him going after the guy tracking his plane makes more sense each day.

Mine... I guess you can say they are tempting fate with their house...

Rather than calling in a professional, they decided to take it upon themselves and poison a tree that was starting to damage the slab. After a couple "treatments," the tree eventually did die and is now just standing next to the house about 3ft away from one of the walls just drying out. Despite my warnings to cut it down, as its rootball would eventually decompose enough to allow it to topple over during a gust, nothing was done.

This past summer though, something different happened that I didn't think of. Wood-boring beetles and termites moved in and set up shop. Three feet from the damn house... The owner even tried to deal with the infested tree themselves, as they tore off the bark to about 6-7 feet up and hit it with bug killer, completely oblivious to how capillary action works in a tree.

As of right now, even though there's been no inspection (I guess they don't think professional pest control is worth it), I can almost guarantee that the termites and beetles found their way in through the eaves of the roof and are feasting like kings in the attic. (I've found termite wings inside)

I've tried warning them numerous times, just to have it go right out the other ear, and eventually gave up wasting my breath.

I'll be looking elsewhere at the end of the year once all the smoke from the elections and voting clears.

Meanwhile Sha'Carri (US running) was DQ'd previously for having THC in her system. Still trying to wrap my head around how pot can help you run faster.

They weren't concerned about CBD or anything else, just the psychoactive THC.

After 20-25 years, it's more or less used for a spam pit and less important things now. No sense walking away from it when there's no finances or other dangerous things attached
