Here’s another shirt design I’d wear.

It’s not breaking news but it is a really interesting snapshot in time showing how not only were these behaviors occurring, it was at times very publicly normalized. Comparing a 13 year old actress to a “nascent whore” is staggering.

It was instantly obvious to me it was a scam.

This is dicey though and everyone has different experiences. Maybe it was a different, more skilled scammer on the phone with your colleague. Or they changed the script to make it more believable.

In general I’m suspicious of incoming calls/texts but they almost got me one time. I live in a different state from my cell phone. So most spam calls come from the area code of my phone number, an instant red flag. But this time, the caller had figured out where I lived and spoofed the number of the local sheriff.

Now as it turns out, I had recently reported a crime to the sheriff’s office so I was not surprised at all that they would call me back. The caller stated he was a deputy and gave me his name (which I searched and was a real deputy with the dept). But then he gave his reason for calling and it was unrelated to what I had called them about. In fact he started telling me a warrant had been issued for me not showing up in a trial I had been called as a witness. I actually was aware of being a potential witness in a trial but my attorney was point of contact and had not told me a trial date had been set.

Could have been a communication error but something didn’t compute. I sensed something was off and that thing, of all things - is that he was being too nice. I’ve watched hours and hours of police body cam footage and the caller simply didn’t speak the way cops usually do.

So I told him I had been the target of identity thieves and I needed to be able to verify his identity before answering anything. I hung up and called the sheriff’s office directly and sure enough they confirmed no warrant, nobody had tried to call me.

I believe you it just sounds like something made up by a Hollywood screenwriter. We need unobtanium to house the time crystal.

That was actually what my initial response was going to be! Then I checked the definition and saw it wasn’t even necessary to argue at the molecular level.

Time crystal? Come on. Really.

This sooo much. I’m not a tech person but I’m trying to learn because the giant corporations are clearly evil. I just want to have a modicum of privacy in my corner of the world so here I am trying to figure out how to self host some basic services.

This seemed a little sus to me so I checked the dictionary. Merriam-Webster says wet can mean consisting of liquid such as water. (See 1a of screen capture).

I’m guessing that Pennsylvania plates are being displayed as Panama due to some sort of coding misadventure?

Super excited to hear all of the Republican ghouls call out this domestic terrorism.

Well.

I’m waiting…

Shareholders want the line to go up. Trapping everyone into endlesss subscriptions is a great way to guarantee revenue.

I think OP of the post is correct. Play the video in slow motion and watch the grey coat guy. He approaches with empty hands and appears to retrieve a weapon from the suspect’s back and is walking away with it before the first shot is fired.

So the suspect was likely unarmed when the shooting starts.

Become ungovernable.

Built a new PC last January and started fresh with Win11 on one drive and Nobara on another. I was able to play all of the games I wanted on Nobara just fine. After a month or two I had a problem develop where I was unable to update because it would start giving errors and the update process wouldn’t complete.

I decided to try out Bazzite and have been with it ever since. I very very rarely boot into Windows. I highly recommend giving it a shot!

It’s not for them. The mockery is for all of the audience to see. It’s propaganda too.

It is just a mechanism to punish you should you happen to record evidence against them. It isn’t meant to make logical sense for citizens - just be another way to harm you.

Also, the fires will be worse.

This is also me but on PC. I’ve played Skyrim but not Oblivion before. I was super excited to give it a shot with improved graphics. It is beautiful but the world feels really empty everywhere. Also the combat feels very lacking as the NPCs seem to lack basic AI features that I take for granted now, like when an ally suddenly dies next to them from an arrow into the back, maybe they should start hunting for an enemy? Nope they just stand there waiting for me to put an arrow into them too.

I’m not saying I won’t play more but I got about 14ish hours in and suddenly found myself prioritizing other games.

The second amendment of the U.S. constitution guarantees the rights of citizens to bear arms. Many liberals support stricter gun laws so that there are stronger background checks, limits, etc in order to try and reduce mass shootings, etc. The right wing folks are generally the opposite, trying to remove limits and make them accessible.

So no, you cannot evoke the second amendment as a defense for shooting anyone. It would only be a potential legal defense against laws limiting gun ownership. The second amendment says you can own a gun, not that you can shoot people with them.

As for the state’s monopoly on violence, that pretty much stands except in clear cut cases of self defense. So if someone were to shoot an ICE agent (and survive the situation to make it to trial), it would have to be some pretty extraordinary circumstances that would allow the person to avoid conviction of a crime.
