I’m an immigrant and US citizen that’s lived here for 28 years. These people (republicans) have done nothing but demonize people like me for as long as I can remember, and it’s getting more and more hateful every year. We are just people who want to live peacefully and give back through our hard work. We came here thinking that this was a multi-cultural and freedom-loving nation. Instead we are constantly reminded of the hateful hypocrisy in many Americans whose family immigrated here not long before us.
I find it worth noting that, as opposed to COVID, this time around it’s affecting rural parts of the US first, instead of urban areas. It’s the rural areas that, generally, didn’t take COVID seriously....
Imagine the options we would have if we instead subsidized plant-based alternatives and the research to get us away from meat and dairy. There’s no reason for continuing the cruelty and wasting natural resources like we do when we know better.
A New York Times examination of more than 100 videos from clashes at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that violence ebbed and flowed for nearly five hours, mostly with little or no police intervention. The violence had been instigated by dozens of people who are seen in videos counterprotesting the encampment....
I was at a networking event with work people. They had a big tray of fruit and cheese that included a whole, unsliced pineapple displayed on the center, not being used. The caterers thought my request was wacky, but agreed to let me take the pineapple. The people I was with shamed me out of taking it, and I reluctantly dropped the pineapple. The ordeal became something we still reminisce about. I found a random pineapple on my desk one day. And we share pineapple-themed pictures when we happen upon something.
You know like the kind that go on a window or bathroom mirror or on the wall or in the shower. They need the atmosphere pushing down on them to work, right?
That’s what I was thinking too, you would need to have the pressure outside the cup to be higher, that’s the force keeping the cup “sticking”.
My prediction is that if you were to stick the cup while under atmospheric pressure, it would have a small amount of air inside … making it unstick more easily after the outside gets depressurized, compared to the condition of having stuck the cup while in vacuum, although the difference would properly be negligible.
With that despicable personality, and a face that looks more and more like a blob fish removed from the ocean depths, this guy proves on a daily basis that money can’t buy everything.

I am still struggling to understand it. It seems a company can defy laws that are broad, within reason, if they were not explicitly named in the law? Chevron deference (Cornell Law)
Sounds to me like it gives power to corporations to be exempt from regulations. Is that the gist of it?
Actually, that’s a good catch, it does look like a chin rest. Maybe it’s a violin after all, or a viola. Also, I must apologize … I had it confused with another popular meme image. Here they are for comparison:
Argentina formally requested on Thursday to join NATO as a global partner, a status that would clear the way for greater political and security cooperation at a time when the right-wing government of President Javier Milei aims to boost ties with Western powers and attract investment....
Any discussion of rehabilitating from climate change should include rewilding and the restoration of lost wetlands, a major carbon sink for our planet.
