She comes back to me, gets my info. Did he hurt me? No. Did he break my glasses? No. Wanted me to describe him, I told her dude was just scared is all.
That testimony is probably why you weren’t called. That would probably hurt their case against him if presented as evidence.
I don’t want that man’s creepy extendo arm
That’s definitely a hospital in New England
Smartwatch-sized screenshots too for some reason?
The main problem with type I (and a few others) is that it’s not recessed. If it comes loose a bit, you still have the problem of exposed live pins.
Too pale. He’ll probably get off easy on a claim that he is mentally unfit to stand trial, stay a few months in a psych ward, and be let back out in public not long after.
I think gold could become a less coveted substance just in terms of value as a status symbol, but it could still benefit from being mass produced just due to its material properties. It’s a good conductor, doesn’t tarnish, is very malleable, etc.
Currently many orders of magnitude more expensive than just buying an equivalent amount of gold, but makes me wonder what the future might be capable of with those proofs of concept.
Science circling back around to alchemy is an interesting thought.
Depends on how afraid of MAGA that judge is, I guess.
Honestly better stats for the US than I thought they’d be. Surprised that my state’s obesity rates are better than any number of European countries despite the situation here still not seeming great.
Wondering if that is an endorsement of things my state is doing right or an indictment of the countries in Europe that are somehow worse.
in an apparent attempt to prepare them for the workplace.
Doctors literally issue sick notes for employers, too.
On the one hand, I am in favor of eliminating the dependence on doctor’s notes because it’s just a waste of everyone’s time (if someone says they’re sick, just believe them and leave it at that). But to say that being sick is not an excuse for being absent is so many levels of mind-bogglingly dumb, I don’t even know where to begin.
They don’t only offer it to white people, they offer it to people who fall under a specific combination of criteria that happens to coincidentally exclude all but white people.
Too bad, you get to know. They’re all 100% real.
I get that. The idea of Christmas is nice, and I like that it’s a day off for me, but it is just a lot of extra stress. I’m not even Christian but there’s still just so many societal expectations.
Sorry, not looking to be accusatory, that’s on me for my own lack of additional context.
Most of these buildings are abandoned due to white flight. The resources needed to support and maintain urban communities are disproportionately allocated to white, suburban growth, and the shells left behind were intentionally kept out of the hands of minority communities and left to rot.
In my area, a lot of old mill towns have had their mills be repurposed as community centers, offices, business hubs, etc. after the mills were left abandoned for a number of years. The latest project near me is a beautiful looking conversion for subsidized housing for 60+ year old residents.
Sure, if you think it’s better to strip old buildings of value to make wealthy brick buyers happy instead of repurposing those old buildings for the public good of underserved communities.
Boggles the mind just how many supporters are still lining up to defend the corruption, too.
They firmly believe all of the conspiracies about how the “deep state” has cheated the system for so long, that they see no problem with their side openly cheating the system and defying the rule of law because they think it’s some sort of justified payback.
Related note: a lot of salvaged brick is stolen. Old rust belt cities like Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, etc. have so many abandoned brick buildings. People set fire to the building to collapse the wooden supports, and when the mortar holding the bricks together is heated by the fire, the pressure of the hose from responding firefighters helps flake it off and clean the brick. Then people show up a few days later, grab all of the undamaged bricks from the rubble, and sell it to unscrupulous distributors who flip it for a premium on new developments looking for that expensive aged brick look.
It’s a step at least. If Palestine is recognized as a state, then it’s no longer an “internal affair” that Israel is engaged with, but instead against another sovereign state that has the right to defend itself and freely negotiate with other nations for aid and support.
I think that is the problem, though. The Chinese market is inherently anti-competitive.
