That's what the call is for- you ask the local office if they can confirm that that officer is actually on patrol, exists, etc. Idk how that would work for ICE though; I don't think you can just call up the federal ICE headquarters.

I think the phrase has the same basic problem as a lot of common advice... the real truth is more nuanced than any pithy phrase could ever be. At best, it's a quick way of reminding someone who already knows better but has temporarily forgotten.

A few weeks ago, my parents complained that the laptop kept going to a "screensaver" while they were trying to work on it.

So I changed the screensaver setting from like 3 minutes to 15 minutes... but it kept happening. I knew something was up when they said "well it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to reopen the Internet every time."

Guys... it was a touchscreen laptop. They were grabbing it by the corner and closing out the window. 😆 And one of these people showed me how to make a website in HTML when I was younger...

Are we all doomed to be daft in our old age?

Social media is a double edged sword. It connects but also isolates... informs but also decieves. Entertains, but also cripples.

It's crazy to think that things were so different even just 15 years ago. Maybe one day we can once again have a wholly positive relationship with this technology. But first, I think, we have to break the addiction.

In other words, I think this is a good start.

The truth is always important.

One time a colleague and I found that book just chilling under an unused desk at work. We had never heard of it, so we were pretty confused. 😆 Still kinda am, honestly.

Eight years?! EIGHT?? I'm all about compassionate treatment alof criminals... but I feel like this is a quintessential example of a crime that deserves an indefinite sentence.

I think gene theraly is a miracle technology that should absolutely be explored more. The thing is, we're already at a point where we can do it in adults. So doing it on embyros, which can't consent, is simply an uncessasary moral hazard.

That said, I think the doctor here sort of has a point, which is that medical research is sometimes so concerned with doing no harm that it allows harm to happen without trying to treat it.

I don't know what's funnier about this comment section... The people who seem to absolutely despise milk, or the big milk shills downvoting them all into oblivion.

They're labeled by type; one of those types happens to just be called "yellow." It's smooth and vinegary. Good on hot dogs and burgers.

It should work fine in OP's sentence, but sadly the word's been ruined... A while back I heard someone over 40 use it as a noun in real life. 🫤

I used to have pretty serious lower back pain. Two things helped me out quite a lot, and you don't need a doctor for either.

1: Exercise the lower back. Pain in the lower back is caused by muscle weakness.

2: Getting a different job. Yea it turns out that sitting at a desk for 12 hours causes hecka bad back pain. Although I've heard that sitting in a backless chair or yoga ball can help, since leaning against the back of your chair is what causes the miscle weakness.

Edit: Obviously this is just what worked for me; it might not be effective for people that have unusual causes like injury and stuff.

I remember watching a Simpsons episode about how deadly big cars are back when I was like, young. At least 15 years ago. We've known this for so long, how is it so difficult to just set a maximum height commuter vehicles?

(It's a rhetorical question, but it anyone has an actual answer then count me curious.)

It might be a reference to the Ferengi, from Star Trek. They say "human" in a weird way to demonstrate their mild contempt.

Yea, so Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, which owns Magic The Gathering. One day, a guy that opens packs on camera got accidentally sent a pack from a set that hadn't been released yet.

I forget the exact details, but WotC ended up sending some thugs to this guys house to retrieve the merchandise via intimidation, and the company those thugs worked for was related to the Pinkertons from your high school civics textbook. (Like, they had acquired them in a merger or something.)

Nobleknight Adventures (I believe this is the entire short, but there are others on the channel.)

You mean the one that shot bullets made of ice? That wasn't real, actually. The CIA made it up to impress/intimidate the Russians.

I guess I wasn't specific enough. 😅 Borderline is kind of just difficult to treat; what I said was my attempt at explaining why. At least, as I understand it. Yes, therapists can give you very useful skills and knowledge; not knocking them at all. (Ok maybe a little. One of them did have me kidnapped...)

But ultimately what people with BPD need is a healthy relationship, and that's just not something a therapist can provide. (Unless they want to lose their license I guess. 🤷)

But anyway thanks for the kind words. :)

Honestly, it would be a pretty lame T-shirt.

Gyros and shawarma are both types of / related to döner; you might have more luck finding one of them.
