Well I'll bring the average to 66% but I'm not going to say which direction to mess up the math.

Netflix already costs over $185 a year. For that price I can rent 6 5k UHD movies a month at redbox and get much higher quality viewing. I can't find 6 good things to watch any given month on Netflix. I might turn my membership back on for the final season of Cobra Kai or Stranger Things, but there's just not much else that's compelling me to spend that money.

We all get it, the type of porn you watch is still legal even though it has teen in the name.

This is regarding a legal matter where the man's sentence will likely be decided by the fact that the court sees him as an adult. In most cases and as the other user pointed out 18 year olds are referred to as men in a legal context. This disturbingly seems to be the standard practice when describing black males of 18.

Generally speaking, describing alleged criminals as teens implies a lack of legal agency and thus biases the reader toward compassion. The point is that sometimes language can induce bias and consistency is needed. If that consistency falls towards the technicality of having the word teen in their name so be it, but that is not the case with our current media landscape.

Once again the Christians are gearing up to burn the Library of Alexandria.

I think it's only fair that from now on every interviewer of Sen. Kennedy ask him how long he's secretly been a Marxist.

Keep in mind this is per capita. Overall the U.S. provides the most foreign aid by a wide margin. Over 10 billion dollars more compared to Germany and over 30 billion more compared to Norway.

I didn't know much about it so I looked into it a bit. I was thinking, okay maybe she was like 16 or 17 which is the age of consent in some places and maybe he was like 26 or 27. I remember a time when that wasn't such a big deal; creepy, but accepted. But looking into it, she was 13 and he was 42. I also couldn't find anywhere she claimed she consented. In fact she openly states that what he did was wrong and has consistently maintained that she said no.

She did say, "Straight up, what he did to me was wrong. But I wish he would return to America so the whole ordeal can be put to rest for both of us. I'm sure if he could go back, he wouldn't do it again. He made a terrible mistake but he's paid for it." She also sued and settled out of court with him in the 80s and 90s over the matter. She also said, "It's an unpleasant memory ... (but) I can live with it." She also filed to have the charges dropped as the publicity and discussion of the details of the event have been a continuing source of trauma for her and her family.

As for my personal feelings on the matter after looking into it? He should come back to the U.S. and serve his time. But as DJT said, "when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy."

I think a lot of comments are missing the obvious. The right spent so much time and energy convincing everybody that everybody else was corrupt that their base and the ingrained whataboutism mindset makes it okay. And on the left we're afraid to follow their lead and do what they did, openly accuse and do the performative endless investigations that the right engaged in for so long. Instead, the left stands by and allows it to happen because they know they don't have the votes to do anything substantial. Even with the mountains of evidence of corruption, the left knows the right will fall in line and never impeach or hold anyone accountable.

I killed some kittens when I was around 6. I was just playing and it was an accident, but it haunted me for years. To this day I can't stand hurting animals. I was legitimately saddened the other morning when I stepped on a snail on my front porch.

But I also know that my actions as a child don't make me a bad person now. Yes I try to make up for it. Not because I haven't forgiven myself, but because I know the pain of hurting something.

It's probably a pile of ash in Patel's back yard by now. Nothing to see here.

Don't do a train horn. As someone with ptsd and a heart condition, those things are an absolute menace.

I arrived well after the other wise men, sweating through my robes and wishing I’d taken a shorter route. I knelt beside the manger and laid out the lamb’s-wool scarf I’d meant to bring. It was soft, pure, perfect. Except the shearing accident had splattered it with dried blood. Mary stared. Joseph’s eyebrows climbed halfway to heaven.

“It’s prophetic symbolism,” I muttered. “You know… blood of the lamb?”

The silence was so heavy it felt like a fourth gift.

Panicking, I pulled a small winter squash from my pack and set it beside the scarf. “And this. For… later.”

The baby gurgled. I decided to take that as forgiveness.

Legally, there are a couple challenges to be made to his eligibility that will likely be brought by some states. The main one that comes to mind is If there is a case for insurrection then the 14th amendment applies.

Another potential is the 25th amendment. This would require J.D. Vance to get half of the cabinet on board to remove Trump from power. I'm wondering if this is something that is already in the works considering J.D. Vance's true feelings for Trump that were revealed in the past. It's probably a long shot, but who knows.

I use DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine and have for a while. But I have noticed lately that every time I search for something, it almost always only returns product pages. I don't know if this is effective SEO or a way of DDG monetizing their search. But unfortunately I've been looking for alternatives just because it's so frustrating when searching for information to get nothing back but a bunch of sites trying to sell you their product.

ran chown -R www-data: ./ from /var instead of /var/www.

I once had a hotel manager try to upsell me on a suite with two floors. But that's another story.

I'm curious how my attempt at pooping in one while simultaneously peeing in the other would work out.

Most camera sensors can only be read one line at a time. This means that the second line isn't captured until the first line is completed. This goes for all of the remaining lines on the sensor of which there are thousands. For example a 24 megapixel camera might have around 4000 lines of pixels to capture.

The image processor captures the state of the top line and moves on to the next. By the time it's captured the 2nd line, if the subject has moved, that line is no longer aligned with what was captured in the first line. Continue this 3998 more times and you have a frame of a video where the bottom of the frame is further ahead than the top of the frame.

To slow this down to a human understandable scale, while watching a video close one eye, then open it and close the other. By the time you've opened the second eye and closed the first things have moved. Just don't do it while driving.

Don't forget the joe user in the corner wearing a trench coat with a bomb strapped to his chest wired to a dead man's switch.
