Was begging her to dunk on that goofy "do you let anyone tell you how to do your job" questioning.
"Well, it depends. If they're telling me how to hold the hose, no. If they're trying to warn me I'm strangling someone with the hose, I would evaluate that immediately."

On a second date, a woman ran into a friend at the mall and introduced me as her husband, then mentally Blue Screened when she realized what happened. Took her weeks to fully emotionally recover from that.

Perhaps if he'd served as a foreign intelligence officer of a world power for over 15 years and then led its successor state's internal security agency, he'd have some meaningful real-world experience that could be applied to problems of this natu-

Reminds me of an email I got from my bank once.
"PROTECT YOUR DATA FROM M&T BANK"
Followed an hour later by an apology for the misplaced comma and the upset it had caused, and reassurances that the bank was not compromised.
The really fascinating part of the Reuters story is that many of the young Russian soldiers, when asked by the workers, reportedly had no idea what Chernobyl was or why it might be hazardous there.
March 28 (Reuters) - Russian soldiers who seized the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster drove their armoured vehicles without radiation protection through a highly toxic zone called the "Red Forest", kicking up clouds of radioactive dust, workers at the site said.

Suspect this might be a symptom of a longing for a society where stuff doesn't happen. Suburban teenagers wanted dragons to slay, now Twitter beams every world event into your eyeballs and it's like "oh no that's actually too many dragons".

You ever accidentally tip one of these over in the cabinet and have it fall out? The dispersal when it hits the counter is like video game physics.

Yep. She held up very well and her emotions were compelling.
I do not think the defense is doing what they think they're doing in repeatedly drawing attention to how outraged the witnesses were.

No need to take it that far. The Founding generation mandated inoculation in the Continental Army, aggressively quarantined, and deemed "health laws of every description" the authority of the states. These people imagine a cartoonish version of history that never existed.

It's not always necessary to vocalize every opinion. Sometimes it's great to just recognize you aren't familiar with a topic and can do the most good by remaining uninvolved.
Probably because most of the 2A LARPers who talk a big game about protecting their communities from an overreaching government are a bunch of fraudulent pussies, Matt.
Since the beginning of 2020, over 500 white people have been killed by the cops compared to fewer than 300 black people. Yet there hasn’t been a single protest against the white killings. The protesters choose only the black victims to be outraged about. Ask yourself why.
Whatever you think about "pronouns", those are included so that people aren't discouraged from seeking urgent care unrelated to their gender identity.
Love bragging about significant misconduct on an account that provides enough information to look up my nurse's license.
@catturd2
In the health system I work for pronouns are now part of a patient’s medical record if they elect them to be.
When relaying messages that require demographic info, I always delete that information! 🤡

New type of guy: an "infuriatingly humble web nerd" who doesn't check local news stories to confirm that gas stations in the Carolinas, are, in fact, running out of gas, before accusing people of making it up.

Very desirable to get through life without being stranded in a failing Latin American state where they're tweeting a bad picture of you as "el _____ gringo"

@MorePerfectUS
Good. The 1,500 hour rule was never about safety, but restricting the supply of pilots. 500 is adequate everywhere else, and there's a carveout for military because we know it's baseless.
This is pillaging consumers and destroying smaller airports for no valid reason.
Rufo's first draft of this tweet described Maus - a universally acclaimed graphic novel - as representing colonization by "the journalistic culture of Brooklyn".
I guess that was too obvious.
I personally wouldn't have a problem with my child reading Maus in 8th grade, but I respect that other communities have different preferences. The journalistic culture of the NYT shouldn't colonize the curriculum of a small school in Tennessee. Pluralism means difference.

Also why I have a soft spot for ea-Nasir, who scammed his customers so hard in 1750 BC that they probably burned his house down, thus preserving the cuneiform clay complaint tablets for us.

As a freelancer, you know it's a great gig that you definitely want to be involved in and not a raging dumpster fire when when they tell you it's "already more or less done" but that they now have a tiny budget for an expert.

She's been vocal about this for many years. They lied to members of the congregation who asked and claimed it was about a consenting adult. He lied in his book about why stepped down for two years. He misled people about his past in sermons.

I haven't listened yet, but the summaries make it sound like he may have told them they're down the wrong rabbithole in the kindest way possible.

Wegmans has an app where you scan in real-time as you pick items, then you're already totalled up when you get to the register, tap-and-go. The innovation of our age.

The evidence suggests that he ran because he saw an unhinged and mentally ill person who had threatened to murder him for putting out his illegal dumpster fire coming at him.
That isn't a provocation in any reasonable book.

Jim Davis created his alter ego when his parents were murdered in an alley behind the lasagna shop where they shared their final meal as a family. A stray orange cat skulked past the scene, and he knew what he must do.
It was a Monday.
@Popehat
My favorite part comes early, when he clearly wants to say "you're on my property" or "you're on private property", but realizes as it comes out of his mouth that will only make it worse.
"You're on... this property."
So we are.
