Algae, peeling blue material, conspiracy theories: Reflecting Pool takes national spotlight

It's wild how he's turned his immediate surroundings in Washington into this living metaphor for his chaos and senility. Half the whitehouse is torn down, there's a circus attraction on the front lawn, the rose garden is a slab of concrete and the reflecting pool has become a swamp. Nauseatingly stupid, yet astonishingly predictable; predictions that when they were first made were called hysterical and deranged...

Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year

100% selling hopes and dreams. I understand there's a playable alpha, I was a backer for over a decade. There is no cohesive vision, just endless theory crafting and half baked implementations to maintain the illusion of progress, but every time they add something, they seemingly need to break something else for their 8 ticks-per-second system to be able to handle it...

Dat special wrinkle

Why not just leave it?

My ex girlfriend had a roommate that wouldn't let their cat sit on his lap, because he figured the cat saw it as a sign of dominance. And it's like, what are you afraid is going to happen if the cat believes it's dominating you? What's at the end of this slippery slope for you? Are you afraid you're going to show up to your kitchen job and the boss is going to take you aside and say "look man, your cat showed up earlier and he's better at your job than you, so you're fired". And then you'll glance through that round porthole-esc kitchen window on those swinging kitchen doors and the cat will be in there flirting with your crush as he flambes some fish and shoots a wink at you?

Brother, if you're that concerned with the opinion of a cat, you really are being dominated, just not by the cat.

Video appears to show new ICE shooting in Minneapolis

A lot of them don't wear radios. If they get separated they're screwed.

If ICE agents started disappearing you'd get a lot fewer volunteers. Bovino's outside in range of so many buildings pretty often. Would just take a dedicated few to send a message.

What they want for their civil war is a character they can point to as a central villain to polarize "the enemy" around; if agents get picked off and no one gets caught, they don't have the character they need for the story they want to tell.

And honestly, if you're against what I'm saying, consider that the only way the cops will arrest the murderers from this afternoon is if they fear retribution. Have the cops arrest those ice agents for the "safety" of those ice agents.

Good luck

Phones are painstakingly designed for idiots to use in idiotic situations. They literally build them so idiots can take them in the bath.

That said, this woman is a keeper, and the dude that said "bye" is a dummy.
