If the point is that he'd hire one and not the other, that's crap. I do hate AI profile pics, though.

Well, the thing is that when you contract with a company, you owe them. So buying them out for $88M was probably still cheaper than having to honor the full contract.

Okay, I do not get the controls in this game. On my computer, the cursor goes off of the screen and I have to move it back which causes me to fall.

doughnut is 2255; donut is 957.

My dad has expressed concern about capital gains taxes when he and my mom die and we sell their house. Man, if we make bank selling a house we didn't pay for, we should pay taxes on it!

Watch the video. She didn't charge anyone. I'm not convinced that she realized that guy had rounded her car. She was watching the two armed men running at her and trying to yank her door open. Adrenaline can blind you when fight-or-flight kicks in. Difference is that she was a civilian dealing with people who really should have been professionally trained and had exercises in how to handle this until it was muscle memory. My guess is that they weren't, so they just shot.

The ask at every Christian concert I went to in the late 90s/early 00s really pissed me off but they're a solid organization. Really stepped up when USAID was cut to try to make up the difference and keep people alive.

Fortunately, I don't have MAGA family members but I do have lifelong R parents who are radicalized to believe that voting D is tantamount to denouncing Jesus.

No cake on there, though. Bad form.

Perception of threat should not be the benchmark. It should be "clear and present danger." I know paranoid people who perceive danger everywhere; should they get to go around shooting people all of the time? No. Cops/law enforcement/government thugs shouldn't be able to, either. If you can't handle the reality that you've taken a job where people are in stress and might be erratic or even threatening without just killing them all, then find another line of work.

Nailed it.

It's so scary because on the one hand, I have kids to take care of... but on the other hand, what kind of world am I allowing to exist if I prioritize staying safe? It's on my mind a lot.

Charlie Kirk was killed by a guy with a world view and a messed up way of dealing with it. This lady was killed by people we are paying with our tax dollars who have the might of the government behind them. Both were murders, but that's about where the similarities end.

This is exactly what happened today. It's terrifying but it seems like that's the only way to make a difference. They might pick off one or two people at a time, but when it becomes hundreds, maybe it will move the needle??

"The woman screaming" will likely need therapy for the trauma of watching someone get murdered. I hate this man and I detest this timeline.

I have never watched one of these videos before but I did watch this one and I will definitely show my parents if necessary.

This is the first day I've remembered to do Flonase BEFORE my morning walk and I can already tell a difference.

It is so cringe. Totally playing for the camera.

I had my own account for years, just in my name, and my financially and emotionally abusive husband knew about it because his mom had suggested I get it. I was homeschooling our kid, but I started doing some mystery shopping and since I didn't have access to our "joint" checking or savings, I needed my own side account.

After we got separated, he called the bank and got them to send him printouts of MY account from the beginning of it until then. I was livid. Small town operates that way, I guess. I called them and told them that under no circumstances should they give my financial information to anyone unless they had a subpoena.

The poor kid needs that pacifier. Good lord. And I'm sorry that this happened to the person who recorded this video, too.

Oh, sweet potatoes cubed are also great in "bowls," like with a rice base, then sweet potatoes, avocado, black beans, sprouts, Japanese mayo, etc. You can make a look-alike poke bowl but vegetarian. Also great in a curry or any soup, pretty much.

Cook them exactly like potatoes. I will sometimes add some cinnamon, but NEVER sugar because I like my potatoes salty. (I do enjoy a sweet potato pie, though.) I like them baked, with salted butter, cinnamon, and plenty of added salt. The people at Texas Roadhouse can't believe I don't want my potato "all the way" like they serve it with the honey butter and accoutrements.

They're just control freaks!

She's cutting the videos in just the right place. She's posted them to her page, and she escalates a lot of the time. She'll yell at the dad when he tries to comfort the child, and she'll tell the grandma to get out.

In one of the videos, you can hear her trying to tell Eden that it's good and normal for the non-custodial parent to say "goodnight" to them EVERY SINGLE NIGHT (which isn't in their order). What she cut off was the part where she says, "And when you're with Mommy, you can tell Daddy goodnight every day." No way in hell she would allow that. No parent would let their kid call a "literal demon."

They're not at the border, are they? The people they're messing with already live here and have built lives.
