Has the entire right side of the US political spectrum just become “everyone grifting each other”?  It seems really weird.  That money has to come from somewhere, right?

You underestimate the power of white GoFundMe.  She’s going to get rich off of this. 

Norovirus, Now complementary with every cruise vacation.

Good. Everyone has warned them that he is a conman. If 500,000+ dead Americans wasn’t enough, then maybe taking a personal hit to their bank accounts will drive the point home. At a certain point, you continue warning people and have to let them learn for themselves.

This is why I don’t trust technology. Want to test voltage? Have children.

Bullshit. Bonds are also put in place when and individual is a danger to him or herself or a danger to society. Discharging a firearm in public is a danger to the community. Shooting at a child makes you a danger to the community.

A person following state law shouldn’t piss a cop off, that is the problem.  They are supposed to uphold the law, not decide what the law actually is. 

I’ve been told that if I’m within my rights to drive (slowly with hazards on) to the police station if I don’t feel comfortable stopping where the lights go on.

The fact that you think your behavior is what we SHOULD do when a cop flips their lights on is part of the problem. I don’t blame you for it, but victim blaming this woman for doing what she’s supposed to do according to the state’s own guidance and then falling back on your own fucked-up, traumatized reaction to…

Most of this is not really about bagged vs. bagless at all. A lot of it is just about buying a good vacuum cleaner vs. a shitty one.

except they DO work for US. we pay their fucking salaries ostensibly so they will keep our roadways safe. you can nitpick all you want, but if your salary is coming out of my taxes, you fucking work for me. and this cop should be executed by firing squad for being a fucking asshole.

Highway Patrol officers are public servants and are funded through taxation, so they work FOR the population. whether or not they have accountability does not negate the aforementioned fact.

An intriguing headline that, sadly, is not answered by the article below it.

Just imagine going to live in the desert and thinking “You know what this place needs? A useless monoculture that requires massive amounts of water.”

There is climate change, AND too many people living in a desert.

Did you see the lie in this article? It referred to Burger King food as “delicious.” It’s not. No fast food is delicious.

For the few people reading this site old enough to remember Seinfeld doing this exact bit like thirty years ago:

Call it whining, but a four foot bed is not a pickup in any meaningful sense of the word. My lawn mower wouldn’t even fit in this thing.

LOL. I assume they mean “onyx”
