1. Because they work long hours and don't have the time and energy to go make friends on their limited "off time"
2. Because promotions and such aren't the slightest bit merit-based, and being popular with your colleagues will help you get ahead on the totem pole
3. Because they have lulls in the work but are still stuck there bored out of their minds, so they may as well socialize since doing stuff on their phone/computer looks like slacking off, but talking to co-workers can be framed as a "meeting" if the micro-managing supervisor shows up

And he did have a child and others in the car he was fearful of protecting too. So this could really go either way honestly with it being in FL I'll say 55/45 with him getting found not guilty.

Also if they overcharge (like they did with George Zimmerman and Casey Anthony) then he might be not guilty. If they go for a lesser charge like manslaughter then I be they could win it easier.

...according to witnesses.

Victims...
Of a fatal car crash...
Being politically active?

She was a passenger of a Hummer H2 that was involved in a 4 car pile up with Jenner's Cadillac Escalade and multiple members of her family were severely injured where one woman was left dead in the horrific crash

Howe died while Wolf-Milessi's infant son was not responding to stimuli at the scene and was rushed to hospital but thankfully survived.

Lea and her husband, Peter and 2 sons and mother were in the vehicle and her mother suffered the worst of the injuries including a cervical spine fracture as well as neck and leg pain. Her husband said his nerves in his hands and wrists were also badly damaged

If you want to make a legitimate argument you can say that this travel ban is too weak because it also lets US citizens/residents return to the US making the restriction less useful

(This criticism also was applied to trump's travel ban)

Eh, India is pretty much a shithole anyways. Pretty hard to want to travel there under any circumstances

Bingo. Doesn't matter how or why but yes this was the "kinda rub" I said. Your feelings on Brock are irrelevant here.

Brock got beat and kinda past on the rub. It doesn't matter if you agree or not. I'm not bothered with debating this with YOU.

Pushing things back would make the most sense.

That would probably make the most sense overall from a certain logistical standpoint, but nations want the prestige of hosting the Olympics and it's a worldwide thing.

Four-time Olympic champion Sir Matthew Pinsent has suggested moving the Tokyo Olympics to 2024 after claiming it would be "ludicrous" to stage the Games in 2021 against the backdrop of a global health crisis.
Sir Matthew, a former member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), also believes Paris and Los Angeles should host the Games four years later than planned to accommodate Tokyo in his proposed reshuffle.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics are now scheduled to run from July 23 to August 8, with the Paralympics due to follow from August 24 to September 5.
"Once again the IOC need courageous leadership," wrote Pinsent in a separate social media post.
"The idea of Olympic athletes, officials, delegations getting vaccine priority is antithetical.
"The risks of 000s of people flying round the world to gather unvaccinated is ludicrous."
Senior IOC member Richard Pound suggested prioritising athletes for the COVID-19 vaccine would be the "most realistic way" of ensuring the Games can take place this year.
Speaking in November 2020, IOC President Thomas Bach encouraged athletes to have a COVID-19 vaccination before Tokyo 2020.
Bach insisted it would not be an entry requirement, with the IOC repeatedly stressing it supports priority access for high-risk groups and healthcare workers.
Despite concerns over a rise in COVID-19 cases, organisers remain steadfast in their preparations for the Games.

"Amid lingering concern over a fourth coronavirus wave and the slow progress of vaccination, the poll found 39.2 percent believe the postponed Olympics and Paralympics should be canceled, while 32.8 percent think they should be rescheduled. Only 24.5 percent responded that the games should be held as scheduled."
According to the Wall Stre

Honestly, I know Ill probably get a lot of shit for this but... I dont think they should get as much as Chauvin. Actually, I think they should get substantially less.

They werent the ones kneeling on his neck.

He said he's trained officers in all 50 states and now is facing a stinging backlash when a video clip of his session surfaced dubbed "killology seminars" that went viral

But Grossman said he would spend 300 days a year on the road training officers on "mental preparation for combat" which refers to as "software in your head" and says he trained EVERY federal law enforcement agency and every branch of the armed forces his philosophy on his KILLOLOGY philosophy that anybody can be trained to kill to offset the trauma of killing.

this makes me even more certain it's fake

You're not supposed to lead with your shittiest point Zeus, you need to bury it in the middle

Why is Jen on that list? She's not a bad poster in any way.

Midgley's legacy has been scarred by the negative environmental impact of leaded gasoline and Freon. Environmental historianJ. R. McNeill opined that Midgley "had more impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history", and Bill Bryson remarked that Midgley possessed "an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny".

Time magazine included both leaded gasoline and CFCs on its list of "The 50 Worst Inventions".

but didn't he legit invent the light bulb?

seriously what polar opposites lol

It seems like y'all are saying that you don't judge people by the company they choose to keep. Which just doesn't make sense to me.

I meant stopping time changes and picking one or the other.

The reason's dumb, but I fully support making DST permanent.

Whichever one is in spring that gives us an extra hour at night is the one it should be permanently.

It matters because they use it as an index for health, so the fact that it's a bad system directly effects everyone.

KUDOS!

Seriously BMI is a total shit of a scale.

Peter Kraska, a criminal justice professor at Eastern Kentucky University, found that the prevalence of SWAT teams, among police agencies serving populations of at least 50,000 people, doubled from the mid-1980s to the late-1990s, rising to 89% of police agencies by the end of this time period. Among smaller police agencies (covering areas with between 25,000 and 50,000 people), the proportion with SWAT teams rose from 20% in the mid-198-s to 80% in the mid-2000s. Kraska says: "When people refer to the militarization of police, it's not in a pejorative or judgmental sense.Contemporary police agencies have moved significantly along a continuum culturally, materially, operationally, while using a Navy SEALs model. All of those are clear indications that they're moving away from a civilian model of policing."
A 2014 ACLU report, War Comes Home: The Excessive Militarization of American Policing, concluded that "American policing has become unnecessarily and dangerously militarized ..." The report examined 818 uses of SWAT teams by more than 20 law enforcement agencies in 11 U.S. states from the period of July 2010 to October 2013. Military-style tactics used by such teams include nighttime raids, use of battering rams, use of flashbangs, overwhelming displays of force, and the wearing of helmets and masks.
The use of SWAT teams became especially common for drug searches. The ACLU study found that 62% of SWAT deployments were for drug raids, and that 79% involved raids on private homes; the study found that only "7% fell into those categories for which the technique was originally intended, such as hostage situations or barricades". In some cases, civilians, including infants, were killed or injured due to police use of force in military style raids. In other cases, residents of affected neighborhoods reported experiencing psychological trauma as a result of militaristic law-enforcement tactics. The use of force and military-style equipment during such raids prompted criticism, particularly from civil libertarians such as Radley Balko, who wrote on the topic in his book Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces.
The Chicago Police Department (CPD) have been accused of operating a secret "black site" in Homan Square where suspects were held without being booked and registered and where they could not be found by their attorneys or families. Suspects were allegedly shackled and beaten.

Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams are law enforcement units in the United States that use specialized or military equipment and tactics. First created in the 1960s for riot control or violent confrontations with criminals, the number and usage of SWAT teams increased in the 1980s and 1990s during the War on Drugs, and in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. In the United States today, SWAT teams are deployed 50,000-80,000 times every year, 80% of the time in order to serve search warrants, most often for narcotics. SWAT teams are increasingly equipped with military-type hardware and are trained to deploy against threats of terrorism, for crowd control, and in situations beyond the capabilities of ordinary law enforcement, sometimes deemed "high-risk". Other countries have developed their own paramilitary police units (PPU)s that are also described as or compared to SWAT police forces. SWAT units are often equipped with specialized firearms including submachine guns, assault rifles, breaching shotguns, sniper rifles, riot control agents, and stun grenades. They have specialized equipment including heavy body armor, ballistic shields, entry tools, armored vehicles, advanced night vision optics, and motion detectors for covertly determining the positions of hostages or hostage takers, inside enclosed structures.
The increased use of SWAT teams is a hallmark of increased police militarization. The Cato Institute's Radley Balko wrote that during the 1970s, there were about 300 SWAT raids a year and as of 2005 there were 40,000 a year. SWAT teams being used for gambling crackdowns and serving a search warrant are routine in some places, like Fairfax, VA. "There has been a more than 1400% increase in the amount of SWAT deployments between 1980 and 2000, according to estimates ... by Eastern Kentucky University professor Peter Kraska." Balko states that in 2007, "... a Dallas SWAT team raided a Veterans [organization's] ... charity poker games. In 2010, a team of heavily armed Orange County, Florida, sheriff's deputies raided several barbershops, holding barbers and customers at gunpoint while they turned the shops inside out. Of the 37 people arrested, 34 were taken in for "barbering without a license". The Orlando barbershop raids were subsequently challenged in court, and in 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ruled that it violated "clearly established Fourth Amendment rights" for the government to conduct "a run-of-the-mill administrative inspection as though it is a criminal raid".
The ACLU has stated that "... heavily armed SWAT teams are raiding people's homes in the middle of the night, often just to search for drugs", causing people to "needlessly di[e] during these raids", in which neighborhoods are turned into "warzones".

Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office released video late Friday of the shooting of Isaiah Brown, 32, who's in critical condition in a hospital with 10 bullet wounds following the shooting early Wednesday.
Details: Sheriff Roger Harris released body camera footage and a 911 call from Brown at a news conference confirming that the unnamed deputy had been placed on administrative leave.
During the call, a man identified as Brown can be heard saying he'll kill his brother and "give me the gun" after his brother won't let him in to retrieve his car keys. He tells the dispatcher several times he does not have a gun.
The deputy who gave Brown a ride home some 45 minutes earlier after his car broke down responded to the call as a "domestic incident."
The deputy can be heard saying "he's got a gun to his head" before telling him to drop it and to stop walking toward him. Gunshots can be heard ringing out.
What they're saying: Browns lawyer, David Haynes, said in a statement to news outlets, "The officer mistook a cordless house phone for a gun.
"There is no indication that Isaiah did anything other than comply with dispatchs orders and raised his hands with the phone in his hand as instructed."

Jenner was never criminally charged but the sheriff's dept determined she was at fault for driving at an "unsafe speed" and intended to recommend manslaughter charges

She says although Jenner was responsible for the crash, she FORGIVES her for the accident and says she would make California proud by promoting conservative principles and having faith back in politics.

Lea says she is a Republican for life and no matter what, she will not turn her back on the party no matter who is in charge.

Maybe teach kids not to run away from cops with the intent of hiding a recently fired firearm kinda like stop-drop-and-roll when you catch on fire instead of run-panic-throw a loaded gun while being commanded to put hands in the air.

yeah chances are theyre looking for a payout lol

Has anything like this ever happened before?
Gender reveal parties started out innocently enough, with expecting couples popping balloons filled with colored powder or cutting blue or pink cakes. But as time has gone by, they have gotten more and more elaborate, and in some cases, dangerous.
In some cases, serious injury or even deaths have been reported. Three years ago, a Tannerite explosion at an Arizona gender reveal started a massive wildfire that burned 45,000 acres.
And in 2020, a pyrotechnic device used at a gender-reveal party caused a major wildfire in California.

I'd also quantify 400 Asians as quite a small number of Asians. You must be pretty sheltered O_O!

I mean, I guess...

Are they just going to be gamefly and mail the games to you?

It'll be some streaming shit like Stadia that will go nowhere.

Unfortunately, my mind immediately goes to a Patrice O'Neal interview. The title of it is awful clickbait, but I can't help but agree with the content.

Probably 5-10...

think about what it means that Derek Chauvin was caught murdering a human being in high definition video and we're all sitting here nervous about what the verdict will be

If only people could get this worked up about alcohol, which is the root of so much violence, property destruction, rape, broken homes, and everything else in our society. In fact, if alcohol was gone, the rate of ALL violence -- not just gun violence -- and all crime would plummet. It's too bad that KBE's shitposting can't be converted to that more productive end!
