  1. It would also go down a significant percent if people posting from work didn't bitch-post about people working from home
  2. Are you employed? Go fuck yourself. That's with a capital F in case you dumb motherfuckers can't spell.
  3. The Declaration of Independence was not signed on July 4. There are not "more than a dozen" names listed. Three of those ages are older than 35.
  4. You jest, but that is exactly why DoTArD is pushing this. You will see CEOs and their ilk getting salaries of 50k but end of year tips in the tens of millions.
  5. It has been a long damn time since I've had a flight attendant that looks like that.
  6. Keep up the pressure. Psychological warfare. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/mocking-new-billboards-troll-trump-to-his-face-right-outside-his-favorite-golf-courses/ar-AA1oHT7B?cvid=1eb3743ce6da46ef9ac37a4d5f90e0aa&ei=43
  7. its probably all a bullshit political smear campaign. I might feel some small quantum of pity if he (and his party and his running mate) weren't huge pieces of shit who do the same thing, or even worse, on a daily basis. See attempted swift boating of Walz, et al. eidt: basically what Roma said
  8. Here's the thing, in all other western industrialized countries, ped and biker death rates have been falling for some time and continue to fall. Only in the US is the death rate climbing (before covid it was also falling). This correlates to traffic enforcement going to shit, right about when or just after covid hit. I'm just regurgitating what the NYT article said.
  9. I want some reporter to ask about the eye liner.
  10. They like to roam. You really need a large space, much bigger than a typical back yard. And as mentioned above, they are escape artists.
  11. no doubt. But they aren't going to kill anyone other than themselves.
  12. Also, this doesn't sound like construction workers pulling trailers: Less than a couple of hours after the crash that left one Tarrytown woman dead and her husband injured Thursday morning, it was traffic as usual---according to neighbors who did not want to speak on camera. CBS Austin watched as multiple cars went through the intersection, either performing a rolling stop or blowing past the four-way stop signs altogether.
  13. I was just reading a NYT article today about how pedestrian and bike deaths are way way up since pre-covid, pretty much everywhere. According to the article, part of it might be that cops don't enforce traffic laws anymore (for various reasons). Another reason for the increase, according to the article, is that people just drive faster than they used to. Roads really need to be engineered to force cars to slow down. People speeding in residential areas should be horse whipped while their cars are crushed into cubes. I've had words with a Fed Ex driver a few years ago who was going probably 50 in my rural hood on gravel road with a speed limit of 20. Peace to the people affected by this tragedy.
  14. I said it before, and I"ll say it again, I think he ends up killing himself. It'll be called an "accidental overdose".
  15. That's probably because a lot of men in prison for violent crimes were themselves abused.
  16. Yeah, that was after my time. I was a guard in 1990 when a guy drowned, but I wasn't working that day, or maybe I had already left for the day-- I don't remember. That was kind of a shit show, and the guard who didn't see the guy go under really fucked up. His brother said Thursday that Guerra was not a fan of swimming and suffered a near-drowning incident as a child. That is some Final Destination shit right there.
  17. Technique, flexibility, and comfort in the water are more important than upper body strength for distance swimming. That guy had none of those things. Add in low body fat (fat floats, muscle sinks) and its no surprise that dude tired out and sank. Also, open water swimming is a hell of a lot harder than lap swimming, because you have to lift your head to see what's in front of you and make sure you are swimming in a straight line. I'm betting what little swim training that guy did was in a lap pool. edit to add: Looking at the video again, the first three out of the water, especially the first guy, had decent technique: Head up every couple of strokes to sight ahead then back down, long strokes, arms out of the water on the recovery part of the stroke, horizontal body position. Drowned dude: vertical body position, head up the entire time, arms dragging through the water on the recovery. Like I said before-- textbook distressed swimmer.
  18. He'll be swimming in pussy soon enough.
