I wonder how many are the Michigan cops our Governor sent down to “help’. Cause I have to assume the vast majority willing to do so weren’t from cities where Bike Cops are even a thing. Resort town here or there aside.

FWIW, that’s just our idiotic broadcasters. Hell, NBC cut out the 7/7 memorial from the Olympic Opening Ceremony in London.
As a Michigander who attends a small handful of hockey/baseball games each year, everyone stands through O Canada. I don’t think it’s always played at the baseball games, but it definitely is…

Seems about right.

Seven and still no effing idea.

TEAM DISCOVERY CHANNEL!

1) good on you for trying to be the change from the inside

Well said. Might have to borrow that, if it’s OK, be because it’s spot effing on.

She had a loved one dying in her arms and was more composed than the effing cop.

I have a FB friend - former classmate - who has straddled the line, and not always but often with some thought at least ends up on the side of the cops, that they have a difficult job, etc. He’s an intelligent man - brilliant in other ways - and from the looks of it this threw him over the edge and he ‘gets’ it now,…

It was a Catholic mass, I think I literally passed out during the “Christ is died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again” song. I may be Christ.

Or just did his homework. Debate prep wise, it would be a smart move at this point - school Trump with basic knowledge and hope you do so in a way that enough of the folks who are Republican but who hate Trump turn their heads and maybe consider you to be the alternative.

Ha, I referenced that above before scrolling down. It’s so damn true. For example, I can’t afford to get my car fixed, so what would be a 30 minute commute each day turns into an hour and a half busing and/or biking. So I’m too tired to make food at home to save money so I can get the damn car fixed faster. And so it…

My credit union is tiny tiny (2 branches), but they’re part of a network. I actually haven’t visited the proper branch in like 4 years. Might soon to get a loan.

You buy $10 boots that will wear out each year, because you don’t have the $60 you need for a pair that will last 30. And so the wealth gap grows.

It’s a cost benefit analysis. 1 bitchy person, no matter how justified the reason for the bitching, can put off many more people from giving you business. Or you can thrown in a little extra food cost, go above and beyond, and that same loudmouth twit will likely be shouting your praises instead. It’s a fine line, I…

Your hometown is Canada?

I put half salmon cream cheese and half guac on some fruit bagel (I want to say cranberry?). Mainly because it was an evening class where someone signed up to bring food and that’s what was left, but it was fantastic. Don’t knock it til you try it. And yeah, I’m pretty sure there’s no real fish in that (it was…

Oh, I work for a small business that runs on that philosophy. Basically “1 angry customer equals 3210472305 okay ones in terms of your reputation” is why that started happening, and then Americans took it to the next logical step.

I grew up in a city just over the north border of Detroit. I didn’t go to Catholic school but I did a lot of Catholic youth leadership stuff with people who were, and the Catholic schools were surprisingly diverse. Because public schools sucked. I had Jewish, Native American, and African American friends who all did…
