I'm gonna be honest, I don't care any how many "balls to the chin" she takes. She's an adult, now an unmarried adult; if she wants to line 'em up and go to town, more power to her. Go nuts, lady.

It's the hypocrisy, positioning herself as hyper-moral and a righteous judge of the sexuality of others, and the public nature (with minors close-by) of this sex act. With that, I also hate her for participating in the destruction of democracy in the United States and other awfulness she perpetrates as a representative.

Go nuts, lady; get your freak on. But stop being a hypocrite about it, and stop making the United States worse.

That seems like a lot of work for not that much more payoff than just hiring a couple of meth heads to do the same thing.

~~Yeah, 12 year old should know that calling 911 for help is literally murder! /s

He's a literal child and was scared. He called for help. It's gross to blame him or even imply he should know calling for help on the same line you call for fire and ambulances will cause an attempted murder.~~

ETA: I don't know where I came up with him being 12, but the point about calling for help and the murder hobos being the same line as the helpers still stands. Blaming a 19 year old for calling 911 because the cops decided to try to murder someone is still gross.

A reminder to everyone that Costco sells caskets: https://www.costco.com/funeral-caskets.html

And every funeral home legally has to allow you to purchase the casket elsewhere per the FTC: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/ftc-funeral-rule (That doc also has a lot of other useful tips in it.)

This, I think: https://apnews.com/...

Short version: the defense brought Elton and his husband to testify that Spacey wasn't at the ball where one of the alleged attacks happened.

I don't think testifing to factual matters (prossibly under subpoena) equates "defending," but what do I know?

Accelerationism is the ideology of privileged idiots.

FTFY

I mean, what the Hell have we been doing for the last 3 years? Journalists, historians, and other folks have really been ringing this bell since 2016, and started ringing it louder on January 6, 2021. You can only scream the truth so loudly, and hand-wringing that people "aren't talking about it enough" when it has been said publicly by high-profile folks for years seems disingenuous and written to generate clicks.

Yeah, we know. We keep saying it. Stop trying to make it seem like you're the only one who has the chutzpah to say it out loud.

I don't like having the root causes of my mental health issues put on display for everyone to see (though "month" or "year," or maybe "lifetime" might be more accurate...)

God, I miss Craigslist.

I'm also guessing "pastor" doesn't mean "seminary trained, regular background checks, psychologically evaluated, tested for competence, and examined by others to discern call in a denomination that requires pastors act like mandatory reporters" but instead means "Bubba says the Bible good and hates the right folks."

With all the bizarre shit that has happened since Charlie Kirk's shooting, and it's a new level of Bizarro World out there, the most bizarre may be that Rafael Edward Cruz was a voice of reason.

Craigslist exists like my totaled car exists: yeah, it's technically there, but it's a shell of itself and doesn't actually have anything worthwhile. Maybe in large metros it's still a viable option, but even in a 250,000 people metro it's a ghost town.

Can't buy things if no one is selling there, can't sell things if no one is buying there.

But...that is the common definition of "food desert."

"A food desert is an area that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food."

I realize the article has issues, but the definition has sources cited for its common usage. If you don't like the definition, fine, but it's a definite term for a defined phenomenon. You don't get to pretend the phenomenon doesn't exist because the term isn't perfect...

Short answer, it's not. It's effectively legal because the circle Venn Diagram of those who would roll coal and have Punisher/Back the Blue stickers on their trucks and absolutely zero enforcement, but it's TECHNICALLY illegal.

Ummm, no....

Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN, Rupert Murdoch owns Fox (and does not own Warner Bros Discovery).

I would argue that causes misery (and, unfortunately, probably death, too).

mental health issues exploded

Because people actually had time to realize how fucked things were, instead of being corralled into the office every day like cattle.

I mean, there may be some truth to that, but we cannot deny the damaging effects isolation had on people. Not to say that isolation was not extended exponentially by malicious actions and incompetence, but the isolation caused many of the mental health issues (which also means those who did what they were supposed to best suffered most, which really sucks).
