It shocks me that the spouses of officers even dare to pretend that there isn’t special treatment. Every spouse of an officer has a sticker in their rear window of the union, because it means they can do ANYTHING they want and they won’t be ticketed for a road violation.

I talked to a therapist once who told me that the problem is that there isn’t any real psychiatric support for officers to help keep their moral compass aligned. Basically, they see so many bad things, day after day, they start thinking that nothing they do can POSSIBLY compare. So little by little, one entitlement…

I think what you’re seeing is the effect of his pands being puckered because of his hand in his pocket.

On the contrary. 

More than that.. as I said on another thread, he has his hands deep in his pants pockets as he’s kneeling on that man’s neck.  I have no doubt he was fondling himself and literally getting off on the fact that he was murdering a black man in public. 

While that police officer is rubbing one out, no less.  He was killing that man while his hands were wrist-deep in his pockets.  That isn’t the usual stance when you have a ‘dangerous’ person you’re holding onto.  That psychopath was LITERALLY getting off on his power trip.

Yeah, there’s zero chance bubble tea is right for Michigan.  I lived there for over 40 years and never even HEARD of bubble tea until I moved to the coast. 

I got super sick when I was little from eating leftovers that were off.  I try to save leftovers, but usually feel so physically ill when trying to reheat them that I throw them out anyway. 

In the separate pic, the plate looks black. But in the pic of them together, one looks baby blue and the other looks navy on my monitors. (I checked on two different ones becuase I’m a dork.)  Definite blues, though.

That’s the thing, it wasn’t a lie. It was finding the good in both options.  What I said to her was entirely the truth.

This. I recall the mom of a couple of friends asking me if her new bleached-white hair looked better than her usual brown-dyed. Her daughters jumped in to say “it looks great!” while giving me looks to try to get me to just say the same... which made it clear to ME that they didn’t think it was at all true.

When I was in college and working at a movie theatre, we had one of the female employees (maybe 19 years old and tiny) dress up as the Easter Bunny. A teenager punched her in the stomach so hard she threw up.  Once the mall security guard tracked down the mother, she didn’t even apologize to the sobbing employee, just…

I haven’t been following Aunt Becky’s story too closely, but I wonder why he’d get so much more prison time.  Was he the one who actually coordinated the scam for his daughters, and she just knew about it and denied it?

I had this same issue! My sister was insisting that my mom talk to her doctor to try to get a prescription for hydroxychloroquine. This was right at the start of the at-home orders. That sister (a teacher) went to work after saying she was certain she had the coronavirus. But the day after, she and her husband went…

Is it more likely the reason is because of the limited number of movies that have been able to be released this year, though? They might just be more worried about the latest Bad Boys movie sweeping the votes by default.

Sure! Here you go:

You’re wrong, but okay.  It’s good for people to be wrong sometimes, builds character.

Right, a reporter should ask him to take it during a press conference to prove he really is.

Breeds of both camels and peacocks are endangered, in fact.  They are definitely at risk of becoming extinct.

My mom always told us graduation parties — and announcements — were money grabs, so we were not permitted to have them.

Like, YEAH, MOM, I KNOW, AND I NEED TO GRAB SOME MONEY FOR COLLEGE.  But nope.  Funny how the kids from my sisters all get huge parties for graduations that I’m expected to shell out three figures…
