  1. Your hood is really getting in on the ground floor.
  2. For those of us who aren't in the boot world, can someone explain the whole "round toed vs square toed" battle and why each side refuses to wear the other? Is one just not acceptable?
  3. Three women in California who say they were raped by men posing as Uber drivers have filed a lawsuit against the company claiming they were not warned about fake rideshare drivers targeting women leaving bars and nightclubs in the Los Angeles area. The suit was filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court and accuses Uber Technologies Inc. of negligence. According to the suit, Uber was told by authorities in Los Angeles that fake drivers were luring inebriated women into their cars and then sexually assaulting them. Uber was made aware of the alleged assaults as early as 2016, the suit alleges. "The unwitting public, and in particular women looking for a safe ride home, have been lulled into believing that the Uber App summons a safe means of transportation," the lawsuit said. "Instead, once the Uber app has been engaged, single female passengers leaving crowded nightclub/bar/restaurant locations become vulnerable to the fake Uber scheme." The women hailed a driver through the Uber app and instead got into the wrong vehicle of a man purporting to be a driver. Two of the women — identified as Jane Doe 1, a resident of Culver City, and Jane Doe 3, a resident of Van Nuys — were allegedly raped by the same man posing as an Uber driver, according to the lawsuit. Jane Doe 1's assault happened in June 2017 and Jane Doe 3's in February 2018. Both women had left the same West Hollywood club when they were lured into a car they believed was their Uber ride, the suit states. Jane Doe 2, of Alhambra, was abducted and raped by a man in December 2017 after leaving a club in Los Angeles, according to the suit. Uber said in a statement Tuesday that it has been working with law enforcement for several years on how passengers can protect themselves against fake drivers. "In 2017, we launched a national campaign to remind riders to make sure they get in the right car by checking the information, like the license plate and car make and model, shown in the app," an Uber spokesperson said. "These important reminders have been part of our safety tips, and our law enforcement team regularly discusses this issue with agencies across the country.” The lawsuit claims that six weeks before Jane Doe 1 was attacked, Uber was made aware of an alleged assault involving another woman. NBC News has not been able to verify the specifics of this lawsuit. "Using the advanced GPS technology available on the Uber App, the Uber Defendants could have easily warned Uber passengers in the known danger zones directly through the Uber App in an Amber Alert style warning and could have targeted warnings by location," the suit states. All three women say they suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and have experienced "symptoms consistent with rape trauma syndrome." The lawsuit comes a week after South Carolina college student Samantha Josephson was killed after getting into a car she believed was her Uber ride. Nathaniel D. Rowland, 25, was arrested and charged with kidnapping and murder in her death. He has not entered a plea. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/women-sue-uber-not-warning-sexual-assaults-fake-drivers-n992506
  4. The headlines are funny. The articles never live up to the headlines.
  5. Take the massage and enjoy life for fucking once. Jesus fucking christ.
  6. Season three I'd say there was an elaborate plan. Now I think it's just lazy writing.
  7. Right but Cersei has to know that. She has another angle.
  8. In February I had to buy a last minute ticket to London. Only seats available were middle seats in coach. Sitting in between two men and the asshole in front of me reclined and slept the whole goddamned flight. Most miserable experience of my adult life.
  9. Yeah Hank's reaction after Barry lowers the gun was amazing.
  10. If it were any other coach, Texas fans wouldn't know his name or give a shit how the fans react to him.
  11. I don't think the people know that the King ordered them all burned.
  12. I'm pretty sure his posts got wiped too. At least the one time someone linked to him everything he posted was gone.
  13. They have not been developing her into a hero. If you honestly think that, I'm not sure what to tell you.
  14. Riding into Wintefell, she was upset the northern folk weren't welcoming her. When her dragons flew in and the people ran scared, she got very smug. If they won't kneel, she'll burn them. They're going to defeat the White Walkers most likely, and then after if the northern folk don't bend their knees, she'll prepare to burn all of them. Jon will probably have to decide to kill her or not. Her becoming the Mad Queen is definitely on the table and they're telegraphing it hard.
  15. Dany was a cunt the way she told Sam about his family.
  16. ROUND ROCK — A Williamson County sheriff’s commander during a staff meeting challenged his deputies to have sex with a “Live PD” television show producer, according to a grievance filed last week. Attorney Robert McCabe told the American-Statesman he filed a sexual harassment/improper conduct grievance April 4 with the Williamson County sheriff’s office against Cmdr. Steve Deaton. According to the grievance, Deaton was in a shift briefing with 20 deputies, lieutenants and sergeants on March 12 when he started making sexual remarks about one of “Live PD’s” female producers. Deaton, a patrol division commander and a former assistant chief with the Austin Police Department, declined to comment Friday. Sheriff Robert Chody said Friday that he couldn’t comment about a pending investigation. RELATED: Williamson sheriff gets approval for deputies to be on ‘Live PD’ show “Live PD” has been filming Williamson County deputies and featuring them on episodes that have recently aired on the A&E Network. A&E did not respond immediately to a request for comment Friday. Deaton first told the deputies during the meeting that he needed to know which one of them had slept with one of the producers of the show, the grievance said. “No one in the room responded,” the document said. Deaton then said that he knew someone in the room had had sex with the producer, the grievance said. “After getting no response from those present, Deaton then began to explain how ‘Live PD’ exchanges producers after each season,” according to the grievance. Deaton said it was his goal to have one of his deputies have sex with the producer before she left, the complaint said. “There was an awkward silence in the room, which prompted some deputies to start making jokes about who might be the one to accomplish this goal for Commander Deaton,” according to the grievance. Four women were present during the meeting, including three deputies and one sergeant, the complaint said. “This grievance is being filed on behalf of our members who fear retaliation as a result of reporting this incident or subsequent discipline for failure to report a policy violation,” McCabe wrote in the complaint. He said the members include deputies who were present during the remarks and are members of the Texas Municipal Police Association. McCabe told the Statesman on Friday that he had also sent a copy of the grievance to all the members of the Williamson County Commissioners Court just to ensure an investigation took place. McCabe sent the grievance to the professional standards division of the Williamson County sheriff’s office. The most serious complaints are investigated by the Internal Affairs Section and the less serious allegations are sent to the individual officer’s division for investigation, according to the sheriff’s website. https://www.statesman.com/news/20190412/williamson-sheriffs-commander-asked-deputies-to-have-sex-with-tv-producer-lawyer-alleges?fbclid=IwAR2ZRtMsGLXsbQPNOClylaM_iRr56X8_buuwNzhlXCKpZxf6rEovHcHn7sI
