Eventually these highly visible Flock cameras are going to be replaced by less obvious cameras hidden in or attached to more permanent structures that will prevent their easy removal

I bought a six-pack of donuts when a guy next to me said, "You shouldn't eat donuts." I replied, "My grandparents parents lived to be 100." He asked, "Did they eat donuts?" I shot back, "No, they minded their own fkn business."

So to recap, we’re reducing experienced military leadership by 20 percent, but talking about increasing bombing and deploying ground troops in Iran in November. Those two things don’t seem like they go together very well.

They mainly just reject the idea that these shows were political or that the subjects touched on were anything more than expedient solutions like how the Prime Directive isn’t meant to protect other worlds, it’s a protection plan for the Federation against unwanted influences.

They want to start a war and also cripple the military leadership structure so that power is consolidated at the top alone.

Tens of millions of American motorists believe there's nothing wrong with texting at a stoplight. Or driving 73 in a 60mph zone. Or changing lanes without signaling. Or rolling right on red without coming to a full stop. But somebody has to do something about cyclists who don't follow the rules.

Plenty of OSINT circulating on this, but still no official confirmation. And where there’s smoke….. Several explosions were heard near Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian sources say the IRGC Navy launched multiple anti-ship cruise missiles.

Honestly, we are better off if they just don't cover him at all. For a brief period after Jan '21 until around the spring of '22, we heard very little about Trump because he'd gone dark and the press for a while treated him like the criminal he was.

This is perhaps a niche problem, but if you're in IT and your accent is so heavy that nobody can really understand you, are all quiet and don't ask questions, or at least they constantly ask you to cover something you just said again, you should probably seek a language coach.

Basically every single pedagogical debate is like this: “Let’s move away from phonics, multiplication tables and testing because they leave kids behind” “Aren’t those the only things that work” “Yes” “And won’t it be less equitable in the end because rich parents can pay for tutors” “Also yes”

Just nonstop stories of: "AI doubles oligarch wealth." Or "AI steals art from painters and writers." Or "AI threatens to destroy humanity." Until we get examples from the post above, AI will remain a malevolent force in society, one worthy of heavy regulation or total destruction.

Realistically the United States is on a path to breakup. I don't know if it will even be 'by state' but rather something a lot worse. Just a general collapse of the thin thread that is still holding things together, but the demolishing of the rule of law is why it will happen.
