Sometimes the powers that be need the proper motivation needed to get rid of the orphan crushing machine.

I love the drive through when my sick toddler has fallen asleep in the car on the way from the doctor’s to the pharmacy.

Additionally, my wife has recently started watching Gossip Girl but I only catch glimpses of that show. Did anybody actually like that show when it came out?

If you think of teenage girls as people, tons of people liked it when it came out. They also liked the books.

We have tons of video evidence of cops planting evidence for smaller things than this.

It’s a McDonald’s. Do people even look up the reviews for a McDonald’s before going?

Because Justices will get old and die. Or they’ll retire and be replaced by someone younger. If it’s a Democrat in the White House, when that happens, we get to push the court leftward. If it’s a Republican, it goes rightward. Thomas and Alito retiring and being replaced by someone 30 years younger solidifies a right-wing majority for decades.

No. He was the kind of evil that legally harmed and killed millions. A That you see that as innocent shows a complete disregard for humanity.

It’s sick you think he was innocent.

Completely dependent on how the store programs it. There is a lot of variance. For me it seems like grocery stores are the worst where even looking funny at the thing sets it off, then like target is usually fine, and finally places like home Depot don’t even seem to have the sensors (they let you use the gun and keep things in your cart).

In case it’s someone who looks plausibly old enough but who “borrowed” Mom’s ID. I doubt they have facial recognition to match ID to face on those cheap POSs.

You got to read more of the sentence:

The killing has sparked public outrage and dark humor on social media, reflecting widespread frustration with health insurers

The outrage isn’t about the killing. The outrage is about the health insurers. The killing is just the spark that got us all to talk about it.

My experience with self checkout at Costco is very much that they still do 80% of the work if you have more than 2 things. Like they’re flipping things and scanning them in my cart and I’m just handling pushing buttons and paying on the touch screen. It’s kinda bizarre but not bad imo.

The real trick is they don’t have the weight sensor and cameras that flip out over every move. Like damn I told you I was putting 3 bags in the bagging area; they are not unexpected items.

The green doesn’t follow that.

Clinton pardoned his brother for selling cocaine. It’s not like this is the first time a Democrat has done this.

It depends on if you assume controlled substance applied to every item on the list or if being addicted to any simulant would count. How I read it, if alcohol counts, so does caffeine.

It isn’t a win. But it isn’t a loss either. It just doesn’t matter.

Maybe it’s a step towards losing that holier than thou attitude and actually getting things done.

Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.

I could read that to include being an alcoholic. But I can also read it as being addicted to caffeine.

when basically the only messaging we sent out during the entire 2024 campaign was that we were the morally superior choice. That someone who doesn’t respect the rule of law has no business being president.

And how exactly did that work out? I don’t think moral superiority is at all a helpful thing in politics.

I think it’s more y=5x and then y=3x, so you’re still increasing, but the rate of increase has decreased. Versus y=-x where the function is now decreasing.

So you never make plans you aren’t happy to do alone just to make your loved one’s day? Like I’m not crazy about X band, but my husband loves them, so getting tickets and taking him is something I do for him. But I’d never go to that alone.
