SoCal is doing horrible with social distancing. My block in LA had to have at least 100 people on it in the 4th of July without masks. I think those 4th parties are going to kill us. Huge parties everywhere.

Same thing happened with my Fourth. I stayed inside, but a neighbor was throwing a huge party with about 50 people. It's going to get worse now that a heat wave is coming, especially if you are in a cramped apartment with piss poor air conditioning. And on top of that, when you go outside you have to wear a mask in 100 degree heat. There will be a lot of people passing out.

California's plan was to slow down the pandemic enough so that their hospitals wouldn't be overrun. Then they would use the 20 billion windfall to acquire more beds and ventilators so they would be prepared by the time the pandemic was in full force. After that, things would be reopened in stages. If the hospitals start getting crowded, then there would be a partial rollback to an earlier stage until more hospital beds clear up.

We were in stage 2, where restaurants, beaches, and parks would be reopened, but with only limited occupancy and with social distancing and masks still enforced. For example, when the pro-wrestler Shad of Cryme Tyme drowned, people were not allowed to sunbathe, but they could walk the beach and go into the water as long as they were following social distancing.

Unfortunately, the governor has very little power over municipal governments. For example, Newsom had to ask Malibu's mayor to close their beaches since Malibu's law enforcement would be the ones enforcing it. The only thing the governor can do short of marshal law is to threaten to withhold state funds. This may scare poorer areas, but wealthy upscale Republican areas like Orange County and Ventura County have enough money to ignore him.

TL;DR : California's governor has very little power over the cities, and the cities are acting on their own based on political party lines.

^ seems like Will decided they should separate some years back, and Jada had a relationship with the guy as some kinda rebound

and it also seems that Will and Jada have reconciled since then.

edit: at post 10

I don't buy it. They already let it slip in an Oprah interview that they have an open relationship and have spent the past two decades trying to walk it back. Saying they were separated at the time seems like another way to cover up their swinger lifestyle.

One take that I've heard a lot is that Will is angry that Jada embarrassed him by letting her sex life go public. The dude is about the same age as Will Smith's oldest son Trey. Will has successfully covered up his sex life, but Jada screwed up by being sloppy with who she sleeps with. All the ones Will has been with are either so unimportant that no one would believe them, or they are on his level and are just as worried as he is about being exposed.

As for this dude Jada was with, I don't think he's as hurt as he says he is. He has an album that was released a couple weeks ago, so this might be his way of getting free publicity. I could see Smith destroying this guy's career to make an example out of him. He'll probably use his connections to blacklist him from the black entertainment industry.

I feel like a lot of people (especially on CE) think shes a terrible author because of her comments regarding the lgtb community.

There are people who had problems with a sorting hat determining a child's entire life, an irredeemably evil house to place these supposedly inherently evil children in, an entire school including the professors treating the house as a lost cause, and then the author trying to backtrack and say that wasn't the meaning even though the text shows otherwise.

At least in the movies they had a couple examples of Slytherin members who had some redeeming factors. I get the feeling book Snape would have tried to fuck Harry as a replacement for Lily had Harry been born a girl or if Snape was bisexual.

IIRC Disney was the first to approach Rowling about a Harry Potter ride, and offered nothing else.

Mushrooms have a lot of liquid, you just have to let them release it while cooking.

Also, don't toss that liquid away, it's as good as mushroom stock. Reduce it, stir in a pat of butter or a splash of heavy cream, and you have a simple mushroom sauce that goes great over steak or pasta.

Disbanding an entire department has happened before. In 2012, with crime rampant in Camden, N.J., the city disbanded its police department and replaced it with a new force that covered Camden County. Compton, Calif., took the same step in 2000, shifting its policing to Los Angeles County.

https://www.post-gazette.com/news/nation/2020/06/07/
Minneapolis- Police- Department- to- be- dismantled- ending- City- Council- George-Floyd-police-brutality-reform-defund/
stories/202006070122

What this means is that policing would be handled by another law enforcement agency while the city creates a new police department. Once the new organizational infrastructure is in place, staff and officers would have to apply for their jobs under the new guidelines at a reduced salary.

This practice of disbanding is more common than most people think. Smaller cities have disbanded their police forces to reduce their budget while using the county sheriff's department. In some instances, deputies are required to ride in vehicles with the city's name while wearing the city's uniform. They might even be provided the old precinct building within the city to work from. Other times, the deputy would just incorporate the city as part of their patrol.

I think it was a prosecutor, not a rookie cop.

I'm pretty sure it was a rookie cop. Her husband was already a cop and he was the one who suggested that she not lie to cover for her superior. He said that since she's a woman, she would never be a part of their fraternity. If her lie were to be discovered, they wouldn't hesitate in throwing her under the bus. She got a lot of shit for it from her colleagues and they made her life a hell. Then, while she was out shopping, her house was shot up as a warning. The arriving officers suggested it was a gang retaliation, but the bullets recovered were all police issue.

She sued the department and won a couple million. The reason for the large payout was because her and her husband's career in law enforcement were pretty much over.

This unfortunately has every reason to be even worse

People kind of forgot Latasha Harlins over the years, whose death was as big a spark to the LA riots. She was a black teenager who was shot in the back by a Korean store owner over a bottle of orange juice. The judge let the woman off scott free because she felt she wasn't a danger to society.

People were outraged, but the Rodney King acquittals occurred while Harlins was still being grieved, and that became the match to the powder keg.

worth remembering too that the swedish approach has been repeatedly used by typically right wing grifters to justify 'opening up' things immediately and at the same levels as they were pre-pandemic

There were also some opinion pieces on The Guardian by leftists who knee-jerk praised Sweden's response. Their argument was that since Sweden is progressive, whatever Sweden does is progressive too, even if it falls in line with what they criticize the Republicans for. It's like they wanted to preserve their idealized version of Sweden as a progressive utopia, so they ignored the death rates and their own past stance.

Chinese and Japanese culture. If an animal spirit grows old enough, they gain the ability to think and look like a human.

There is a story where the Monkey King has to fight 7 giant spiders who would lure men to their death by seducing them in the the form of beautiful women.

There is also a Japanese version where a beautiful widow invites men into her house for tea. The house is dark and the victim gets caught in the webbing, at which point the woman turns back into her true form of a giant spider and eats them.

They are not anymore scary than any other celestial object. They don't suck things in to them like you see in movies. You have to be on a direct trajectory toward them to go in or else the momentum from their rotation would just fling you away at near light speeds. Hence those jets you see coming from the cores of active galaxies.

Yeah, there have been some near light speed travel proposals of a ship stealing momentum from a rotating black hole by flying through its ergosphere and using the gravity to slingshot a ship. We've actually done something similar by using the sun's gravity to slingshot the Voyager space probes to speeds a normal launch would be incapable of.

VladTV interviewed the actor who played Eddie Winslow on Family Matters. He knew Orlando and says it's unfair to compare him to how Raven turned out. Raven Symone already came from a well off and stable family. Orlando came from a poor troubled family and once he hit it big, his family treated him as their meal ticket. He would have been in danger of falling off even if he had never become a child actor.
