at least 3 other people - jokingly or not - mentioned Biden assassinating Trump under this. I feel like my comments were relevant.

I'm not advocating for it, just saying that that the Dems wouldn't do it.

What are your thoughts on Republicans doing it?

But Shapiro's argument is against the concept of retirement -

Frankly, I think retirement itself is a stupid idea unless you have some sort of health problem, he says, adding that, once you lose your purpose in life, things go to hell in a handbasket real quick.

Which is why he's advocating raising the retirement age.

No those things are fact based and should be graded equally

What fields or topics do you believe are *not* fact based and should be involve discussion of opposing viewpoints?

The 3rd was so bad, I hated they tried this mod squad 21 jump Street thing.

This doesn't look bad, has the john wick effect but that's not so bad.

I liked 3 more than 2 (had the higher critic rating as well) since they did something new with aging the characters

I like them bringing back Cap Howard despite him being dead as he was big part of the glue that held them together.

meh the last one was not good

You shut your mouth!

In was actually the highest rated of the three, plus I liked them doing something new with aging the characters though I half expected Marcus to die leaving Mike to help care for his kids

Love the trailer, especially the "she wasn't black"

Didn't the black policemen also get harsher sentences (which all of them deserved) than the white officers?

I'm guessing old adventure games like King's Quest are closed world even though you can walk completely around the world?

I mean honestly I feel it would be nice if states just remained however their are politically for the most part. That way if you feel strongly enough you just move to a place that mostly shares your view points.

People already kinda do that from what I've heard. Remember seeing some guy on TV talking about America isn't a melting pot like it's been claimed for ages. And he showed some kinda statistics showing people had a tendency (if they could) moving to a area where they would have more like minded people around.

Ehh "just up and move" isn't really feasible for a lot of people..

Apparently the Oklahoma State Medical Examiners Office lost accreditation back in 2009 and has not been accredited ever since.

WTF?!?! Like... isn't there a national organization that cracks down on states operating w/o a license?

Parker stood up and replied: We forgive you, man.

Wow.. really respect Parker

A lot depends on how she sees the ring - someone with a funny sense of humor might appreciate giving a ring pop with a note though that would be a terrible thing to do for another person

Either way congrats buddy!

I consider myself lucky to have played Ultima 6 first - the graphics (at the time) were immersive in creating the open world and the plot was really engaging (hit one my favorite tropes of warring sides coming together peacefully).

Fuck public schools.

I got found texts being sent to my 12 year old telling her to kill herself and google docs shared on school property during school hours saying the same. Why? Because one of the bullies pranked her and told her she could sit at the cool table at lunch, then rejected and made fun of her in front of everyone.

This school had a kid kill themselves a few years back for the same exact fucking thing. Went to the school with all of the proof. Their plan was to further separate my kid (not the bullies), who had already been ostracized due to the bulling, and have them all sit together and talk it out. Yeah that will work, and wouldn't cause further mocking.

Then they pull my kid in and interrogate her and not the bullies. I know someone at the school personally and they told me none of the kids were called up, none were suspended, or even given detention.

I pulled her out of school that day and filed a police report on the kids, their parents, and the school. Then i got a lawyer.

Now I'm pulling 2 jobs to pay for her private school, counseling, and the legal fees while the school is delaying the casing. The school has a "policy" forced by a state law that doesn't cover my child.

Fuck the schools and these little fucking shits. This soft on bully shit needs to fucking go. Every single kid that does this kind of shit needs to be expelled instantly and the schools should be able to take actions against the parents.

I took the high road, all it got me was debt and frustration. Would have been easier and more effective to just give these fuckers a taste of their own medicine and spend a night in jail for "harassment" by humiliating them by calling them out at lunch with all the other shit that was said in other messages and google docs i found.

Dang..you definitely go above and beyond as a dad :)

Any word on System Shock 3? I was interested in the plot after you helped the antagonist from the first one in the second

Naw, can't even give him credit for that. I'd have MUCH preferred that he was captured alive and stood trial.

He's a piece of shit for robbing us of actual justice.

Stalin was allegedly furious when he got news Hitler killed himself because he wanted to do it lol

The second line to that is "Then again he did the terrible thing of killing the person that killed Hitler"

At this point I'd pay 1K for that to happen

Was it Joenumbers that was agreeing w/ Musk's post that he didn't go right, but that the left moved?

Reminds me of the line/joke - "No matter what you have to give Hitler credit for being the only person to kill Hitler"

:)

This needs to stay bumped on CE

We're in the final stages of the GOP's existence now. Trump will bleed them dry before casting them aside, and they'll never recover. All we have to do is vote this November and they're finished.

I wonder if this will lead to RNC becoming liable for defamation suits like Fox news ...

Can someone refresh my memory of why the newer two leads left? (the sisters one of whom was the daughter of the original killer)

Has anybody seen Duncan and the Pope together at the same time?

Wasn't there a movie where they tried using the spirit from the Grudge movies to defeat Sadako?

The surety is Federal Insurance Company, which is a subsidiary of Chubb Corporation, which is a big insurance company. They were one of my old firm's primary insurer clients when I was doing insurance defense.

Don't think Musk is financially involved, but he may have greased some wheels.

If Trump losses all appeals, what happens to the money FIC put up for him?

Is there any confirmation of Musk paying the bond?

How many states have you visited?

I never said I was a victim wtf is your problem

I use the restroom there sometimes because the one at my work is never working

I wasnt even trying to go into the Walmart this was outside he was driving by and I told him to go fuck himself

I was dancing because he lost his shit too and was trying to fight me as I was walking away, I started dancing just to show him how little I cared about him puffing his chest and the dude tried to tackle me from behind if I wasnt moving away from him he would have brought me to the ground

So you stopped pooping to argue and then dance with the security guard? Did he tackle you while you still half naked?

Never quite got there thankfully but have seen it. Alcohol withdrawal is abysmal.

Had a friend I had to rush over vodka at 8am on time as he was shaking so bad and was afraid of a seizure. Took a gulp, puked it up then sipped until it got better. Told him Im calling an ambulance next time.

Got him to detox in hospital and was good for a while. Then his girl left so he went on a huge bender, seizures during withdrawal and lost all his money to it.

Next time I saw him he was yellow and was just waiting on the liver failure to kill him, which it did shortly after.

Dang.. I'm really sorry, sounds like quite a tragedy :/

Smackems hope you are doing better, or at least surviving

Meanwhile, Jayson Boebert was arrested twice. The first time after an altercation at a restaurant with the congresswoman, and the second following accusations from their son Tyler.

Tyler Boebert, who last week was arrested over a spate of thefts, had accused his father of shoving him to the ground and putting his hand in his mouth.

Lauren Boebert's temporary restraining order against her ex-husband, which was granted last month, cited the restaurant altercation and the fight between him and Tyler.

I had almost forgotten about all of this..

I hope he bleeds them dry.

Does this mean individual state RNCs were in favor of paying Trump's bills? I don't know much about how the national RNC conducted this vote

I know I'm going to get flack but I was more emotionally moved by JP FK than JW - the two scenes of Apatosaurus standing on the dock bellowing as it died and the dinosaurs about to die to the gas really got to me

Nope.

My mother fell asleep when we went to see Jurassic Park like 30+ years ago. But I was one of 5 pregnancies, so I just chalked that up to her having a half dozen kids and things getting relatively quiet and dark. lol

My dad did the same thing! Though he had a terrible sleep schedule from when i was in elementary school forward - it's only in hindsight I realize how much he missed out on

I fell asleep during Crimes of Grisendwald (sp) - my sister really wanted to see it so took her husband and me. I hadn't watched any HP movies after OotP and was struggling with a lot of daytime drowsiness so only really remember the ending where Depp starts teleporting people under the justification of muggles needing to be controlled for their safety

Sigh.. for a while my state was managing to stay out of the national news - now this combined with banning the American Library Association

I am 100% not serious because literally nothing in this topic is going to change a shit decision buy some MAGA fucks to be over turned.

Literally nothing any thing anyone says in this topic is going to matter. That's my point.

I'd say people voicing criticism of the actions actually matters to others on this board that are more directly impacted (LGBTQ+)... and you saying "Good" with no context actually mattered in significant (but bad) way

This is really cool! I didn't even know about John Oliver's CARP. Are there ways to donate to groups that do this?

V was the first one I saw in the theaters so I probably have a slight bias (even read the novelization) - Kirk's line about pain being part of what makes him him still echoes in my mind

If it was white privilege then both him and Michael Drejka wouldn't have been convicted.

White privilege doesn't always been avoiding consequences completely, more quicker to be believed/less consequences/slower to experience consequences
