I once lost a pair of expensive Bose wireless headphones. Somebody told me that I could use the app and track their location. I said, oh hell no, they can keep them! Nice as they were, I will not be purchasing again.
I grew up on 10000 acres of farmland. My entire family were proud “poachers”. I’ve seen some shit, including a bullet riddled bald eagle behind the barn.
Some of my earliest childhood memories were of my grandfather and deaf uncle chasing around coyotes like unhinged psychos with the dog waggon. Watching the greyhounds run them down, and tear them to shreads while they laughed and had a great time. Coyote pelts used to bring a lot of money as well.
Now, I never liked this behavior even though I was raised and forced to participate, but I certainly understand how these morons become this way. They mostly behave this way with predatory animals like wolves, coyotes, hawks, etc. Animals that kill all their chickens. Break their cattles, or horses legs and may or may not kill them. They take pride and satisfaction in ridding the earth of these “varmint”.
Now I am mostly vegan, aside from my love of raising chickens, and eating their free range eggs. And I love all animals! But, I want to murder the fuck outta those rat bastard possums when they weasle their way into my henhouse at night, and I wake up to my babies feathers and caucuses splayed across the yard.
Man, all this speaking in tongues talk lately is giving me PTSD. Next they’ll be getting “drunk in the holy spirit”. Every time they pulled this shit at church, I wished my mom would have chosen abortion instead
Wasn’t fun loving, southern Baptist. It was crazy ass non denominational, fire and brimstone, revolations, scaring kids about hell. Kenneth Copeland visits, and the like always went this route. Nothing entertaining about it. It was scary as fuck! And if I didn’t act right, it was paddle board time when we got home
It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?
Plainclothes Chicago police officers fired nearly 100 gunshots over 41 seconds during a traffic stop that left one man dead and one officer injured, according to graphic video footage a police oversight agency released Tuesday....
You seem to have gathered that the murder victim shot at the police. Unless you have another source, you are clearly not reading the linked article. It states that no footage shows that the victim ever shot, or had a gun in possession. States that he had no gun on or around him when they cleared the slumped body. The did however find a (most likely planted) gun in the car later. Do you need a class on reading comprehension or something?

By your description I’m assuming you’re talking about the old hospital in LA by the 101? If so, that’s just where they house a bunch of the poor brainwashed minions.
Their headquarters (Gold Base) is right beside Hubbards old mansion in San Jacinto on like 500 acres. Not so cheap looking
Most of these hillbillies probably barely have the money to campaign, let alone hire a defense team to make a case of it in court. Just say, nah, You’re ineligible to run. And as if the courts don’t have ridiculous, frivolous cases all the time anyway
These courts no concerns ever burning taxpayer dollars on much less pressing issues all the time!
I guarantee that if they don’t stand up now, it has nothing to do with legal cost. It has absolutely everything to do with fear of backlash from ludicrous dipshits, and having to have the spine to tell them to fucking deal with it
It’s not an excuse. Groups and races of people that have been through that sort of thing carry an emotional trauma and pain through generations. Same as black people. Same as even women do. There have been many studies on it, and is grounded in science. Nowhere did I fucking state that what they are doing or have been doing to the Palestine people for the past 80 years is acceptable! I’m saying that it should be looked at more along the lines of a mental illness, and treated as such. Kiss my ass
Keeping Republicans out of office and the FCC is a good start. Obama fought against repealing it his entire presidency, despite tons of pressure from big tech and the other side of the aisle. I think it’s congress would have to change laws to protect it?
Yes, but what I’m getting at is that the repeal of net neutrality gives telecom companies that as you correctly stated were never good to consumers in the first place, the power to now fully, legally kneecap everyone that’s not already a monster monopoly.
This drives us into an even further monopolistic state, as you can’t get yourself out there without them. Which in turn allows them to make the product way shittier than they could have otherwise, as they now know they hold all the cards, and can’t just easily take our business elsewhere
You are technically correct though. I probably shouldn’t have thrown enshittification into it, as they are somewhat unrelated. But, the loss of neutrality makes it unbearably easy for the monsters. I personally get frustrated with the current state because those of us that fought against it’s repeal saw this coming long before the bastards finally got their way.
