Local LEO is expected to work with local venue to prevent terrorist attack. I haven’t been involved in this type of work for a few years but the idea is if the venue identifies an individual they feel might be a threat they contact LEO and LEO investigate or moves it to the proper agency.

I’m just saying, bunch of…

“Riot asked some employees representing Riot not to publicly engage with the controversy, yet both Klein and Lehman—whom current and former employees say advocated for women and women’s issues while at Riot—commented on it publicly.”

Riot, “Look we aren’t looking great on a PR level, everyone stay off of social media”.…

You have money for beer? Look at the big spender over here!

In the world of preventing terrorism there is a term call “Theater Security” where the purpose is to make people feel safe without actually improving their safety and in fact can make them less safe. This “Check all joysticks” screams of “Theater Security” for every reason outlined above. If event organizer wanted to…

To be honest Millennials might end up as a lost generation. Coming of age in the recession artificially depressed avg. starting wages and starting positions for Millennials below what would have been required based on the debt Millennials took on. Leaving an environment where Millennials will be in debt for decades…

Asking the important question over here

The “not currently signed to production agencies” bothered me more then the measurement request. As other have said, I think that just screams, “Exploit me”. Work requiring models often have a certain “Look” they are going for and while this seems a bit more specific then most, when it comes to hosting gigs, being…

I feel like being a kid/teenager around that age this was a very common response. I remember getting a 64 for Christmas and being so excited to play new Squaresoft games like FF7 on it. Then a friend had to tell me FF7 was coming out on Playstation.

It took like 5 months of saving up to get a Playstation and another…

This comic is perfect. I’m saving this.

Jezebel in full male hating comedian mode right now. If you do comedy and are a man Jezebel hates you. I blame Lewis C.K. for stirring up this hornets nest. They are like children randomly lashing out and not understanding nuance.

Then again I’m the idiot who clicked on the article and gave them views. Maybe I’m the…

In a hazard zone and experience Indirect fire, Small arms fire etc. still sleep like a baby. Come home and someone drops something heavy as I’m getting ready for bed, my brain goes“Fight or flight kicking in ready to be up til 2 in the morning now bitch?”.

I’ve got so many of those types of stories. My Drill Sgt. nicked named me Private Sleepy Time cause he found me mostly asleep on a 8 mile ruck one time.

In Iraq they had to bust open my door cause shrapnel went through my CHU (think dorm room but smaller) from a mortar and I slept through the indirect fire attack and…

Don’t forget getting you cot kicked in the middle of the night when they are looking for the next person to do watch. Then getting woken up an hour after that when it’s your turn to do watch.

Never forget it was Youtube/iTunes more then Pandora and Spotify that lowered the use of P2P and torrent sites. Chris is right that the less friction, the more likely people will use your product. However, content owner (At leaset big corporation) care more about making money then your user experience. Big music tried…

Imagine for a moment where campaign finance reform was passed, and campaigns could only use a set amount of public money. Then even just a tenth of campaign donations went to Public/private partnership with local news agencies. What a wonderful world that would be.

These people are coming back whether or not you give them a road map or not. You’re right that everyone following the same playbook because like it or not, more likely not, large segments of the population love these individual comedians and will spend money to hear their standup, and watch their shows.

The saying is “…

The pressure on companies only work until the number of people that WON’T watch/buy your product because “X” is involved with you become less then the number of people that WILL watch/buy your product because “X” is involved. Then the companies will welcome who ever back in with open arms.

That’s just how capitalism…

Worst boss ever was when I was working for the National Guard. We had this mean old Col. who was the most Kiss Up, Kick Down person I had ever met in my life. When I took the job I knew two people who worked/had worked in the department she ran and asked them about the position. Both said to not take it because you…

Escalation of force here seems real shady. Stabbed in hand then shot multiple times. Also, what are you doing as an officer getting so close that she can stab you like that? Everything about this situation seems shady. Feels like more was going on then a simple sting.

Normally I would say, hopefully the DA gets to the…
