I love how you all are bashing this person because of their looks. Why don’t you all post your own pics and we can have a go at you?

who, despite all appearances to the contrary, I cannot stress enough—is only 36 years old.

How did they know it was PoC when they knocked on the door?

To be fair, the video doesn’t start until he’s inside the doorway. We don’t really know what happened first. Maybe the cop did ask, calmly, if anyone was hurt or in danger? The woman is agitated, maybe rightfully, but with domestic violence it’s not a good idea just to walk away without a little investigation. Just…

Leasing. The world is moving towards a service economy. No one will own many ‘things’ in the future, especially big-ticket items like cars. People will share vehicles or get into monthly subscriptions that give them access to transportation like personal use cars.

I have to agree with him. The interior isn’t really all that awe inspiring. I absolutely HATE that stupid iPad dashboard. It literally looks like an at-home install. My son-in-law has one and lately the tablet has been acting up, rebooting on its own and having a pixelated screen.

I think what you need to do is make college affordable so people can pay for it themselves. This is the same problem with healthcare. Instead of subsidizing 8-10M people why not work to make it affordable so people can pay their own way?

I believe malpractice and crimes are different.

But the title was entirely misleading. Leeching implies accessing the signal without permission.

I think the Big Dig was larger than Seattle’s but I’m sure we learned a thing or two along the way.

The Big Dig was ridiculously expensive and Seattle’s project was stalled for months over a 2 inch pipe no one knew was there. Running highways underground is not without problems here in the NW. First we have tons of rain, not to mention earthquakes. Second we have large bodies of water to the east and west of…

I would have said, yeah, on their Pizza. You get to eat pepperoni, but if you continue I’ll order up a Turtle Special from Pizza Hut.

As a former parent, it’s meant to open the door to civil discourse. If you just start off with “you little shit, I saw you stuff that broccoli in your pants”, well it just won’t end well. And of course in public you can’t just smash their face into the broccoli bowl.

that’s because it’s so far away. If it were closer we might see it more clearly.

Interesting take, if true. So a rich guy gets off with a petty (for him) fine? I await the hue and cry from the Jussie supporters that justice was not done here.

He traded community service and his bond ($$) for dropping charges. That’s the bargain here.

At the very least it appears as if Smollet didn’t setup his own hate crime

He did it. The city as much as admitted it. But his community service and forfeiting his bond got him off the hook. 

So basically he paid off the city. And they said corruption was dead in Chicago. 

It appears they got Km confused with miles. 525 Km is 326 mi.
