Choices and Consequences

It is befuddling reading the sentiment for the majority of the comments on this post.

Having a chief executive in office in 2000 who was super concerned about climate change would have made a big difference.

But hey that's just like my opinion man

Man in Air Force uniform set himself on fire in front of Israeli embassy

So he was put out with fire extinguishers and transported to the nearest hospital.

Apparently a gun was also drawn and aimed at him while he was set himself on conflagarion.

I did have to look up conflagarian to make sure that I was using it correctly. I still don't think I am.

But if anybody else is curious about what happened to him, I think he's alive and in a hospital. Saved you the click.

Trump wins.

Not only are we in the worst timeline....

I actually don't have anything to add.

How did we get here? And even more terrifying how many people that actually went to go vote were surprised that Biden wasn't on the ticket?!?!

And let me just go ahead and get myself in trouble. Fuck you every single person that didn't vote for Kamala Harris that was eligible.

SPECIFICALLY...

Well I guess I don't want to get in trouble that bad.

Yes, this is the fucking bullshit we live with. Due to our winner-take-all insanely backwards system....

I'm not technically allowed to properly criticize whomever didn't show up to the polls.

Whatever groups they may or may not belong to.

Yeah I'm sounding like a motherfucking Maga bitch right now.....

But guess what Arab Americans and black men??!?!!? ( if and only if those are demographics that didn't show up to vote )

Get completely and totally fucked by the Trump administration. Has nothing to do with me and everything do with them

Edit:

For what it's worth I'm terribly sorry for not including the Latino vote that went to Trump

Ultimately it doesn't really matter which particular demographic I blame because the truth is I'm not blaming anyone in particular.

Fuck America, fuck me, and fuck Trump

Bro people poop in the fields because they literally just don't have time to go back to the restroom in between shifts of picking

And I don't blame them in the slightest. They have a very hard job

So I don't know about you but I will always be washing any produce that I buy at the grocery store as soon as I bring it in my house

Am i demanding too much from my boyfriend?

This may not be what you want to hear.

It sounds like he's given up on his relationship but doesn't want to be the one to cut the cord.

One of my friend recently was telling me. He's divorced by the way so take this with that in mind.

Sometimes people stay in relationships because of comfort and it's easier to be in a relationship versus being alone.

IDK I don't know about you and your personal situation.

Hope my take helps but it's your decision to make what to do from here.

FTs

I just remember looking into NFTS when they were gaining hype. There are a few real world use cases for them.

However ultimately the NFT ended up leading back to a URL of the picture. I may be oversimplifying it a little bit but that's basically how it worked.

So the web hoster could just revoke the URL or set it to something else. So you don't really own anything. I will have to look at the specifics of this "hack". But this was always gonna be an issue.

Just Say It, Democrats: Biden Has Been a Great President

Reply in thread

He's been a better president than Obama was.

It's not particularly close in my opinion.

I'm hella biased, but the SAVE plan and not accruing interest on student loans as long as you make payments is a huge win.

There's no reason they couldn't have done this under Obama....

Edit: just wanted to mention that this restructuring for student loans had absolutely nothing to do with Congress

Vigilante Pedophile Hunter Killed While Confronting Teens

Reply in thread

I don't know that it is unnecessarily harsh.

A guy with no training going around trying to catch pedophiles. He's not the only one doing it in the US, and it's almost always for clout.

People trying to be Mark Hanson and catch predators, except they don't have a team of people and actual police contacts to help them. And it's not because they're so concerned about possible victims. It's cuz they wanna play hero and put some shine on their name.

This dude managed to get himself killed and leave behind a dependent child. He kinda WAS being an idiot. I feel bad for the kid.

Microsoft Edge could use a win

Y'all I dislike forced browser adoption as much as the next guy.

And I've been using Firefox for years and years and years now.

But, I'm forced to use edge for work. And, as a browser purely, none of the anti-trust baggage attached....

It's really not too bad. A lot of things work just fine. And sometimes, if I'm having weird performance on a website on a personal device, loading the same URL in edge has resulted in improved/expected functionality of the website

Indiana man with mental disabilities, framed by police for murder, gets $11.7 million settlement

Royer, who lives in Goshen, told The Indianapolis Star that the settlement money will “change my life.”

“I am now financially set for the rest of my life. I hope to help my family as much as I can,” he said. *

Oof. Hope this guy has a good, decent family around him. Especially with mental disabilities, there's at risk of bad actors coming out of the woodwork.
