Can the UN even do anything to the United States if they have a unilateral security council veto? I would think that the USA would successfully find a way to argue that sanctioning them for crimes against humanity is not considered a “procedural” decision.

With a pit stop at a cafe on the way for a coffee and a cigarette (breakfast).

Just FYI after the 5th one I’m just cumming air at that point, but if there are 2,430 women out there who want to give it a try anyway be my guest.

There likely wouldn’t be enough IRS agents to audit that many people at once. There aren’t enough to go after tax cheats when people abide by the system en masse, so if there were a concerted effort to stop paying, they would probably have trouble with enforcement.

Now, I’m 100% certain that the Trump admin would push the IRS to “make examples” of a few unlucky people, and I’m not expecting a large enough pool of people participating in the new viral meme “just don’t pay your taxes, they can’t arrest us all” for it to matter.

ICE is full of DEI hires. Or as I like to call them, DUI hires.

You should have received your ballot by now, if you opted for mail-in. Call your local registrar of voters to make sure that they sent it, or else just go in on election day to do it.

I have never had any encounters with shit on the streets of SF. Now granted, I haven’t worked in the city in almost a decade, but this reputation it seems to have is nothing new.

I think if SF business owners weren’t so fuckin’ stingy about people using their restrooms then the people who can’t afford to buy something at the grossly inflated SF prices just for the privilege of accessing a sanitary place to relieve themselves in privacy that the rest of us take for granted each day would be a lot less likely to shit or piss on the streets.

I remember waiting for the train after a night of particularly heavy drinking, and it was a 20+ minute wait for the next BART train, and I was already doing the pee dance on the platform. I knew I wasn’t going to make it to the south bay before my bladder exploded. Station restrooms were already locked (even though trains were still running), so I went out to Market street and entered a nearby McDonalds. Asked to use their restroom, said I would buy something from their menu if necessary. Nope, they refused. I wasn’t about to pee my pants, so you know what I did? I went and I pissed on the street right in front of their front doors. Problem solved.

If you leave people no possible way to do something “correctly”, don’t be surprised if they start doing it incorrectly on purpose.

This is maybe getting a bit off topic, but I would actually love to read a book about how these various pro wrestling moves were developed over time. If you were to ask me to choreograph a new signature move for a wrestler, I probably wouldn’t be able to come up with anything that isn’t already a variation of a move that already exists in some form.

Sure, you could, absolutely. There are times when it is convenient to have one. For example, most fast food establishments will provide you a drink cup with a lid and straw. You could just rip the lid off and drink it normally, but if you are driving (which you probably are if you are getting fast food) and want a sip of your drink, it’s a lot easier to just grab the cup and take a sip through a straw than it is to grab the open container and tilt it. Not to mention the chance you might hit a bump or brake hard and have it spill, either while you are trying to drink from it or even just when it’s sitting in the cupholder if partially full.

Does demolishing a 120+ year old historical building to replace it with a gold-plated ballroom sound like the actions of a man who intends to leave office in 3 years time?

Distraction Cheese

Danya might not have been the face of chess, but he was definitely well known if you played or watched chess streams. RIP, 29 is too young to go for someone so talented.

That was his exact strategy during his first term and he executed it to great effect. Millions of taxpayer dollars got funneled right back into the Trump family coffers.

I think the mushroom trips feel like they take hours to the person taking it, but really hardly any time passes at all.

I wouldn’t know. Haven’t had a chance to do it yet.

Realtors never proofread shit. This kind of fuckup happens all the time with houses in the millions listed for like $1,000.

You’d bet that if any of these listings were in any way considered binding that they would quadruple check their accuracy before submitting, but apparently it’s okay to be completely wrong about something you are advertising to potential clients and still get to keep your job afterwards.

That’s because Trump lies about there being a crime epidemic to send in the military.

Take special notice on how the Trump administration never ever ever provides proof or evidence or data of any of these claims. Just “this blue city is a crime infested hellhole” and then they move straight to rubber stamping the jack boot thugs against the wishes of the local governments.

If these military deployments actually had a measurable effect on crime rates in cities, you know for a fact that Republican snakes would be blasting those stats on every airwave.

Jesus fucking christ, that’s incredible. I don’t know what any of that software engineering stuff is, but based on your description of events, it just sounds like a waking nightmare.

If it makes you feel better, companies like that where upper management are quick to throw people under the bus for their own fuck ups are usually not long for this world. They’ll continue to make bad decisions and the effects will be felt both downstream with low employee morale and retention rates, as well as commercial loss for the company. You are much better off being valued for your work elsewhere.

If they are so cunning, why can’t they win a fucking election?

Oh yes, the game where I say “This time I will build tall and focus on diplomacy and alliance building”, before it inevitably devolves into science rush into a military buildup to carry out a century-long xenophopic extermination campaign to rid the galaxy of the alien race who wronged me.

Call me crazy, but maybe I’m uncomfortable associating an entire ethnic group with words written in a book over two millenia ago. Times change, and society changes along with it.

I don’t know a single person who follows the bible/torah/quran as an absolutist. Everyone from every religion and every sect likes to pick and choose what they like to follow.

If someone is committing an act of genocide against another people, I can guarantee they were going to do it regardless of what their silly book says about it.
