It's like the memories are there but something has to jog them before they'll come out of the vault.

This is why many adult sites are banning access if your IP is from TN or any of the other american states that love jesus more than freedom.

I'm curious how they made it home at all.

So, the UK sucks.

I'm ok with 2 factor, but the reliance on text messaging needs to end. For one it's not secure. Two, cell service isn't always available whereas an internet connection may still be.

Uber started this shit years ago. If you're desperate, they screw you. You're well off, they screw you. You're in the middle of nowhere, they screw you. There's a holiday/event, they screw you. You're one of their drivers, they screw you daily.

I can't recall if they ever got sued over it, but they're still here.

This is what passes for "news" in the US. And half the country is watching it. In a sane timeline this guy would be roasted and career ended for such an insulting display..

They don't need the National Guard anymore because ICE just got a ridiculous budget.

The vast majority of it is indeed poor. Sure there are pockets of billionaires but most people in CA are struggling. Even more so now than ever before. Especially when you factor the cost of rent and other living expenses.

Is there a hashtag these people are using?

This seems reasonable to me for New York City. In most places I wouldn't want to go more than 20mph for my own safety. In pedestrian crowded NYC I'd be doing half that at most.

 

“The reason we’re here is because the government of the United States wants you to leave the United States,” Judge Ubaid ul-Haq, presiding from a courtroom on Varick Street, told a group of about a dozen children on a recent morning on Webex.

The parties included a 7-year-old boy, wearing a shirt emblazoned with a pizza cartoon, who spun a toy windmill while the judge spoke. There was an 8-year-old girl and her 4-year-old sister, in a tie-dye shirt, who squeezed a pink plushy toy and stuffed it into her sleeve. None of the children were accompanied by parents or attorneys, only shelter workers who helped them log on to the hearing.

Immigrant advocates and lawyers say an increasing number of migrant children are making immigration court appearances without the assistance of attorneys, which they say will lead to more children getting deported.

“That child will be ordered deported from this country — that could all happen without that child ever speaking with an attorney and given the opportunity to obtain representation,” Shah said. “The cruelty is really apparent to all of us out here in the field.”

Original Post:

Am I supposed to be excited? How bad must your resturant be running if the best you've got to offer is your excess ice.

Update:

Some of you have expressed criticism of how I've framed this. You guys are right. I'm fuckin losing it.

I think I've been spending too much time reading news, seeing dead babies, Názis taking over the country, the cIimate crisis etc.. I'm not being sarcastic, I think this shit has fucked me up. I'm at the point where seeing a sign for lce is perceived as bleak doom.

I need to take a break from, everything. Thank you for holding up the mirror.

"He was coming so fast, there wasn't any time to move all the way out the way"

Scott-Windham returned to Mobile Wednesday night with the bullet still in her foot, along with multiple fractures.

She'll need to return to an orthopedist in two weeks to check on her foot. But the Amazon warehouse where she works denied her request for a leave of absence, and she worries she'll have to find a new job once she's recovered.

 

Just as I remember!

 

UnitedHealth Group’s stock fell 5 percent on Friday alone, bringing its weekly loss to 10 percent. That wiped roughly $56 billion from the company’s market capitalization.

After-hours trading continued to dip, dropping 5 percent on Sunday after a video leaked UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty, Thompson’s boss, slamming industry critics on social media as “vitriolic” and “not in tune with reality.”

“We guard against the pressures that exist for unsafe care or unnecessary care,” Witty said in a private video to staff filmed in the wake of Thompson’s execution outside of a New York City hotel Wednesday.

The video, published by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein on Friday evening after markets closed, was met with backlash online. “Talk about misreading the situation,” one X user wrote.

UnitedHealth Group’s plunge follows similar trends in health insurance stocks.

Rival firm Elevance Health—the parent of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield—fell six percent by the end of the week.
