"Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it."

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”

-George Bernard Shaw

  • Seems like many want this so badly...

  • I still think of this if they were to meet the "real" Jeebus

  • Sadly this is great for business and what they love most.

  • To mute those that are starving I suspect...

  • I've never had one. I know it says white claw but which animal's claw is white does it taste like? I'm not a animalogist so they might be expecting a little too much from me as a potential consumer.

    Do they squeeze the juice out of each claw or do they just blend them all together like animal bones in pet food?

  • OMG do you mean a 15 minute city!?!? How dare they focus us to live in such a place. They are bound to make us stop rolling coal with our trucks while they are at it! Freedum!

  • Trump did remove national parks from the protection of exploration for oil and resources. He has also said in his "1 day of being a dictator" he would drill drill drill!

    So I imagine in his new America there could be oil rigs in all of the national parks much like they are throughout Northwestern Texas.

  • At the same time these very same things happen to the native and Mexican inhabitants in most of the west which many today think didn't happen or they are just fine with as they yell go home to those that have been home much longer than the European based races yelling this at them,well the ones that survived the slaughters that is...

  • Love it. I never thought much of the scene again then every once in awhile the gf will do this tsss tsss and we both laugh.

    She also breaks out with the dinosaur train song every now and again too so it just proves things can stick differently for all of us

  • Laugh as we might just because the health affects are not immediate versus long term doesn't mean there isn't ramifications.

    Alcohol will mess you up in the short term and in the long term in more ways than one especially for those that abuse it.

    Oddly one of those ways mimics over consumption of sugar.

    But not to worry just like the culture of alcohol and tobacco had us convinced that there are no health issues at all to worry about, it's the same mate for those operating on massive rushes of sugar and caffeine in energy drinks.

    They might not appear mentally drunk but rest assured their bodies are...

  • What a disturbing read from a single individual at large running amok. Can't imagine what would happen if it was one of these home brew militias groups.

    Seems like he was trying to report excessive force against the force. What a terrible outcome for the innocent daughter of the former chief and then the civilian victims of the police force being nervous of their own shadow:

    Police shooting of unrelated civilians

    In two separate incidents in the early morning hours of February 7, 2013, police fired on people who turned out to be unrelated to Dorner. Dorner was not present at either of the incidents.[96]

    At about 5:30 am (PST), at least seven[97] LAPD officers on a protection detail of an unnamed LAPD official's residence in the 19500 block of Redbeam Street[98] in Torrance opened fire on the back of a light blue Toyota Tacoma and shot its two occupants, Emma Hernandez (71) and her daughter, Margie Carranza (47)[97][99] delivering newspapers for the Los Angeles Times.[10][97] The vehicle, according to officers, was spotted exiting a freeway and heading to the area of the residence that officers were protecting, was thought by police to match the description of Dorner's Nissan Titan and was moving without its headlights on.[96][100] Hernandez was shot in the back and Carranza received wounds to her hand. Their attorney claimed police "had no idea who was in that vehicle" when they opened fire, and that nothing about his clients or their vehicle matched the descriptions given of the suspect or his truck.[101] The two women stated that they were given no warning prior to being fired upon.[102] A neighbor said the truck was used every day to deliver newspapers, and the women who used it kept their headlights off so as to not wake people up.[103] The two women were injured, but both survived.[104][105] The LAPD started an internal investigation into the shooting. According to their attorney Glen Jonas, 102 bullet holes were found in the truck.[106] The LAPD declined to confirm the total number of officers involved or how many bullets were fired or if any verbal warnings were given to the women before the shooting began.[100]

    Approximately 25 minutes after that incident, officers from the Torrance Police Department (TPD) struck and opened fire on another vehicle.[11] Like the first shooting, the incident involved a vehicle that police claimed resembled the description of Dorner's truck, but was later discovered to be a black Honda Ridgeline driven by David Perdue, a white male.[107][108] A TPD police cruiser slammed into Perdue's pickup and officers opened fire. Perdue, who was on his way to the beach to surf, was not hit by any of the bullets, but reportedly suffered injuries as a result of the car impact.[11] Police claim that Perdue's pickup truck "matched the description" of the one belonging to Dorner. However, the Times reported that the vehicle involved was once again a different make and color to that of the suspect's, and that Perdue "looks nothing like" the suspect.[11] Settlement paid edit

    In April 2013 the LAPD paid a $4.2 million settlement to Margie Carranza and Emma Hernandez.[109] The city of Torrance initially offered a $500,000 settlement to David Perdue, who rejected the offer.[110] With the Perdue case set to go to trial in August 2014, the parties reached an agreement in July 2014 for a $1.8 million settlement.[111] Use-of-force policy violation edit

    On February 4, 2014, LAPD chief Charlie Beck announced that eight officers had violated the LAPD's use-of-force policy and would be disciplined. Beck noted that California state law prevents him from disclosing the nature of the discipline publicly, but that discipline could range "from extensive retraining up to termination."[112][113] Disciplinary actions for the officers involved did not include criminal charges.[114]

  • The various scam phone calls that threaten jail time due to unpaid tax bills from the IRS (US) and CRA (Canada) is still thing.

    It's humorous when the Chinese/Indian call centers where they originate from mix up the countries when threatening people with the RCMP is coming to arrest an American or the IRS is coming for a Canadian.

    However we are expecting these boomers that copy and paste status updates limiting Facebook rights use of their account photos and info at midnight over and over again to navigate these scams on their own.

    To be fair much of the customer support for large companies have been offloaded to India and the Philippines so that's one less barrier to overcome in triggering the BS detector of the not so savvy among us.

  • I've not been in a McDonald's in decades. Nice to see? I vaguely recall fountains in there but I'm left wondering how much sugar water does one need? Diabetes in a cup anyone?

    Add what the fluid does to interfere with proper food digestion no wonder so many are so sickly and overweight.

    I wish like financial literacy they taught proper nutritional health that served the public versus the corporations.

    They have these sickly consumers screaming government over reach when they try to curb these products with regulations trying to convince everyone, they are just weak and they should be able to override these rewards centers that have been hijacked in the brain with willpower.

    Meanwhile at the same time these groups then desire the strong arm of the law to come down very hard on drug addicts when they are just another form of a addict but a less severe form that is functioning somewhat.

    It's a quite the duality to witness. Humans are interesting...

  • Textbook example of stoking hatred of minority groups makes it easier for the class based poison pills to go down.

  • What a shame the inaction of one generation is going to mean eventually the younger generations becoming Cannon fodder again due to this burying the head in the sand and giving Putin just what he needs to keep going beyond Ukraine.

    The older generation aren't fans of the younger generations as it is so this should show them /s

  • My first thoughts are Wtf is going on in that area where the cops are so bloody trigger happy? Then I read they are just out and about executing people without consequences is mind blowing.

    Then they commemorate each kill with bending their badges is heart breaking and disturbing.

    Is this the part where the gun nuts take on the police department under their 2nd amendment rights?

    This would seem to fit into a tyranny scenario they are on guard for?

    I do fear the opposite with the advertised "dictator" for a day would emboldened many to kill as many people they don't like for a day too.

  • I have to wonder what the scar lines from the various transplants and hair tucks would look like.

    I've read he's had a lot done to close the gap and make the George Constanza Ceasar's crown into a full head of hair. That's a lot of ground to pull up over. I don't think it would look so smooth.

    I can't even imagine how much time he needs to spend each morning to get that thing ready for the public. That's a lot of hairspray. Combine that with the orange spray tan and the makeup it's not a 5 minute job.
