Collect 10 souls, tell the Devil I will trade him these 10 for mine back.

5. It's KC

I don't think the parrot even knows what it's asking or even that something is responding to it asking.

I'm sorry isn't that Rachel dolezal >_>

wtf was the red powder

King Rial you're just neon, aren't u?

I'd imagine Jesus would care more about spreading the word than food.

Fuck. That escalated a lot from the initial reports

I can't wait for conservative media to blame Taylor Swift and not the shooters or the systematic issues that enabled them.

I'm seeing 1 dead, 9 injured.

It's sad that you have to lie like this. You could just contribute to the actual boobs topic. But just like a Trumper, you have to make up ridiculous and easily disapproval lies to hold up your sad case. The topic devolved into a fetish insulting topic. With almost no actual tits being posted.

You could enjoy ass and boobs. But instead you'd prefer to do this. Despicable. Have you no shame?

Kansas City officials hint Taylor Swift was warned to steer clear of Super Bowl parade

Kansas City officials are hinting that Taylor Swifts handlers have been warned that her presence at Wednesdays Super Bowl parade could add to the chaos and be too much for the citys security to handle when fans hit the street to celebrate the Chiefs second consecutive NFL championship.
I cant confirm or deny but we might have already told that to her team, just to keep everybody safe and make things a little bit easier for us, City Manager Brian Platt told local public radio station KCUR.
Swift is famously linked to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and was in the stands Sunday when his team won an overtime thriller in Las Vegas to end the NFL season. The super couple was seen in an excited embrace after the game.
The Love Story singers presence at Chiefs games over the past several months added a fairytale aspect to a season already packed with drama. But Platt said the increased hoopla she has brought to Chiefs fandom presents a whole second level of security issues for the teams victory parade in western Missouri.

I assume there's a bunch of stuff, plot threads, and characters in Berserk that's not going to factor into the main overall plot? Though I'm not caught up yet on the current chapter, so I could be wrong and everything is connected in a way.

I wonder if they were targeting the festivities, or if it was just some drunk idiots who got into a fight and pulled guns.

1. upset fans
2. people upset politically
3. people with no interest in football or the people involved using big gathering as opportunity
4. angry people who just wanted to shoot people as happens frequently

i would say that if i had a natural talent, itd be reading people or situations. i guess u could distill it to "prediction" or some such

Reminds me of this:

cut out some of this filler

Leaving aside the tangent of military danger vs police danger, are you saying that him resigning (not being fired) is sufficient "facing responsibility"? That the city shouldn't follow up on charges that like would be done for a civilian?

1) be stupid enough to mistake a ACORN for a gunshot.

2) Be cold to empty all your ammo, going for the kill. These are not shots to defend yourself, these are not shots to protect others, this is shooting to f***ing KILL.

3) Don't give a f*** about the guy you shot at right now at all. Maybe he dead. Maybe he bleeding to death right now, fighting for his life, every single second. Who knows? Who cares? Not the cops.

the forbidden tifa.
I'd post it to show you, but I don't wanna get modded again.

Jones discovered in speaking with local union organizers at IUPAT district council 51 that he and his co-workers were victims of wage theft as they were not being paid any overtime or given any breaks while working 10-to-12-hour shifts.

I was under the notion I was with a company that wanted to see me achieve, grow, accomplish and secure financial stability. Then to find out that I was essentially being robbed by those who I trusted, those who I intentionally helped to build their company, it was devastating. I was let down, said Jones.

Rolando Bravo Tello also worked at Fredericksburg Glass, and had been involved in a unionization effort last year aimed at pushing back against wage theft issues at the company. Workers were not being paid for the full time they were working at job sites, were not being paid overtime, and were being misclassified as independent contractors.

When I found out that they were not paying me what they were supposed to pay me and other people were getting paid more and I wasnt, I felt like it was a knife to the back to say the least, said Bravo Tello. I was afraid of speaking up or saying something because I didnt think I would gain anything out of it.

He and Jones recently received a wage theft settlement of $34,000 from Fredericksburg Glass and now work as union members in the construction industry, but union organizers argue their case just scratches the surface of the rampant issues facing workers in the construction industry as numerous charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board involving allegations of retaliation and intimidation related to the union drive and wage theft investigation are still open.

Unforgettable Coatings and Cory Summerhays, Spectrum Construction and Fredericksburg Glass did not respond to multiple requests for comment on this story.

There are companies out there where their main business is exploiting workers for their lack of education, immigration status, or lack of knowledge of labor laws, said Herbert Zaldivar, organizing director for IUPAT district council 51. The resources are out there but trying to get workers to come forward because the penalties arent severe or the companies are doing it by structure, its not there yet. The law needs to go harder. Its happening everywhere.

For years, Cristian Cspedes worked as a foreman for a construction contractor, Unforgettable Coatings, in Las Vegas, where he and his co-workers often worked over 60 hours a week without overtime pay.

He recalls having to tell workers who were injured on the job that they had to deal with the injury and pay for medical care themselves. He knew the treatment and conditions imposed on himself and his co-workers were wrong, but he didnt know he could do anything about it.

I always knew stuff was wrong. I just didnt know where to go to seek help, said Cspedes, who recently became a union organizer and said a wage theft investigation was kicked off after workers started meeting with local union organizers and learning about their rights.

Wage theft is a pervasive problem facing workers throughout the US. According to a 2014 report by the Economic Policy Institute, workers lose over $50bn a year to wage theft from employers. Wage theft includes tactics from stiffing workers on pay, failing to properly pay workers for overtime, minimum wage violations, misclassification of employees as independent contractors, and not providing workers with mandated break times.

We didnt know our rights or anything like that. We were working over 60 hours a week and not getting paid overtime, and here in Nevada over 40 hours is overtime, so we would work 60 to 80 hours a week and sometimes we had to work for free on Sundays just to finish up a project, said Cspedes.

US regulators are cracking down on wage theft. A 2013 investigation by the Department of Labor recovered $47,393 in unpaid overtime wages to 21 workers in Utah. Last year, the department ordered Unforgettable Coatings and its owner Cory Summerhays to pay 593 workers over $3.6m in stolen wages, damages, interest and penalties.

According to the investigation, Unforgettable Coatings falsified employment records to deprive workers of overtime pay, intimidated workers from speaking up about the practices and forced workers to volunteer to work on weekends without pay. The intimidation included threatening to call immigration services on workers and reducing workers hours and pay if they were suspected to be cooperating with the departments investigation.

Emotionally, it took a toll on me. I didnt know that because I was an immigrant, my employer was allowed to take advantage of me and my co-workers, said Samuel Castillo, one of the workers at Unforgettable Coatings who received backpay as a result of the investigation. He now works in the construction industry as a union member, where he says the differences are stark compared with the low pay, lack of benefits, and working conditions he previously worked under.

The department credited workers who spoke up and assisted in the investigation despite the threats and intimidation they received from their employer, including Cspedes, who has since joined the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) as a member and union organizer working to organize other workers throughout the construction industry who are being subjected to similar systematic labor abuses and wage theft.

The fines dont seem to have deterred others. IUPAT is currently assisting workers in holding another local construction company accountable for wage theft and retaliating against workers, Spectrum Construction.

Carlos Funez worked at Spectrum Construction and was fired along with a few other co-workers after his employer found out they were meeting with IUPAT organizers.

I noticed from co-workers that they were stealing our money. I would ask why arent you saying anything, were not getting paid overtime for working on weekends, there was no overtime being paid, said Funez. We were asked why we were having those meetings, I said, well, our rights are being violated and the women are being discriminated against.

Veronica, another construction worker at Spectrum Construction who was fired after meeting with the union and requested to remain anonymous for fear of further retaliation, explained the firings took a toll on her and the other workers. The workers currently have pending charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board over the firings.

I realized what was happening was wage theft and it was not right, she said. The company found out we were having meetings with the union, and they threatened to fire us. We kept having meetings and eventually they fired us.

Yet it still kinda of poses the same issues regarding hypocrisy in the Marvel Universe what with how often super powered beings pop up from accidents, or literal magic, demons, aliens existing. Like this is a hostile world when even your non powered heroes and villains are common.
