I'm seeing only good things come from New York's Mayor after hearing so much doom and gloom about how he was going to "ruin" the city.

Owners are responsible for their agents. Arrest the tech oligarchs if their agents commit crimes.

When I was a girl, I ate one dozen eggs Ev'ry morning to help me get large
"Chun-Li is all kicks. So we did a bunch of Taekwondo training, Muay Thai, and Wushu (Kung Fu). I did two hours of that a day and strengthened my legs a lot and changed my diet drastically. When I was bulking, I ate 12 eggs a day. Every two hours I had to have a meal, and I was on the verge of throwing up. But it worked. By the end of the shoot, my thighs had grown six-and-a-half centimeters each,” she said in an August interview with Empire Magazine.

Over the next year I watched adults in my life go absolutely NUTS trying to "invest" in beanie babies. Spending money, getting into fights, hunting down stores that had the right one. All because they believed they could replicate my "success" (which was actually just pure happenstance luck)

I got on AOL, negotiated a price of 5K, and a place to meet. My Mom didn't want me meeting up with some guy from the internet who wanted to buy my toys so she did the meetup. she came home SHOCKED with cash in hand.

When I was a kid my grandma would get me these things I didn't really want called beanie babies. So I decided to sell them when I was 12.

I told someone I thought their game looked AI today and felt bad when I found out it was actually human art... never felt so bad. They were gracious about it though and showed the art assets they created. we live in crazy times.

ICE are not lawful agents anymore. We started the revolutionary war when British agents started shooting at civilians.

LISTEN TO THE SURPRISINGLY HORNY GOPHER!
A gopher named gus seductively leaning on a shovel in a pit. He's by a flag that reads "Always call 811 before you dig." He's also got a little hard hat with 811 on it. He's wearing only a vest and has come-hither eyes. Also I checked the image source and this is 11 years old so a real person made it, a real sexy person.

Culturally, historically and even diplomatically (from a global standpoint) this is what Trump would rather destroy than understanding and accepting the legality of the word “no”.

This kind of stalking is why I won't speak to one of my parents anymore. I also would get "well placed calls" when I would book a flight or hotel without telling the parent... well into my 30s. Not ok. leave your adult kids alone, or one day they will leave you alone.

SWE for 30+ years. was a HEAVY AI. Walking away from AI was the best choice I ever made. The game I made with it "worked" but the performance issues because of its slop code were so horrid I had to start over by hand. It was garbage but it didn't feel like it when I was making it.

When I was growing up in (very conservative christian town) people would say D&D or the Monster energy drink where "the mark of the beast" have not heard one say that about MAGA hats... I'm sure it's the actual mark or the beast though, or at least the mark of a pedo.

What a despicable way to talk to women + ALL people. Especially from a man in such a position of power. And then we have Barack Obama, talking calmly and treating people with common decency and respect. I sure do miss civility and basic human decency in the People’s House!

Trump has sued people his entire life. yet not one defamation lawsuit for people saying he is a pedophile. Not one. Thats because it is true and he does not want to give people the opportunity to show it's true in court.
