“The reason women and some couches cover their drinks”

FTFY

I kind of wonder if the shooting was planned when looking at the facts

• shooter background was an Afghan CIA operative
• shooter was vetted and given asylum by Trump administration in April 2025
• months ago Trump deployed National Guard to DC without justification citing “crime”, despite crime rates dropping
• a week ago, a judge ruled the National Guards deployment in DC was unlawful and he lacked authority or cause for it
• two days ago, operative shoots 2 guardsmen not far from white house and immediately surrenders
• Trump and Hegseth immediately respond saying not only are the national guards presence there legitimate and justified, but they are activating 500 more to head to DC

Curious.

Lol “hoarding”… If they were truly that concerned about a stagnant economy they could sell product at cost and not inflated retail. That would incentivize moving a lot more product while turning all the gears in the supply chain and satisfying a ton of jobs throughout.

But they don’t really care the economy itself, just that it can be harnessed to make a rich guy richer as a byproduct. An economy that isn’t making the rich richer is worthless to them, so they come up with articles like this to shame people.

Theyve pivoted from standard religions to their cult following. It has special exceptions.

Both meters and seconds are units of Earth specific measures of space and time. Pretty sure at a cosmic scale god would give fuckall about how we measure and name our shit

Nope. I did know some morons out there thought mass or school shootings weren’t a big deal and complained civil rights encroached on their feelings of white supremacy. Never knew his name specifically because it feels like there’s a whole cluster of those idiots who no one ever taught the Golden Rule to. Be kind and treat all people respectfully.

I felt bad about him dying because having idiotic ideals doesn’t mean he didn’t deserve life, but I also kind of chalked the event up to darwinism. If someone constantly puts themselves in front of the masses promoting hate and violence, its only a matter of time before hatred and violence finds them. In that aspect, he probably wasn’t fully innocent of the event himself as so many have made him out to be. I never heard of Hitler himself ever personally killing anyone, but his rhetoric and influence of others was the cause of plenty of deaths. Murder is always wrong.

In a competitive poorly regulated capitalist economy that’s driven by bottom lines and dividends, I’m pretty sure being a narcissistic sociopath is a prereq for the C suite

This is why Project 2025 intends to ban abortion and limit contraceptives. They want to proliferate their voter base.

They’ve been conditioned for 8 years that any negative thing they read or hear about their leader is “fake news”, and likely their own pride of not wanting to consider the possibility they could be mistaken has made them easy targets for the misinformation machine at Fox News to avoid telling them objective facts to instead pander to their emotions and tell them what opinion they should have. Mass manipulation by biased media.

I’d sooner credit Tucker Carlson for the invention of dumbasses.

The truth is out there.

He’ll never stop running because then all of his crime prosecution he can call politically motivated. He knows damned well he’s a crook so its his best (albeit still irrelevant) defense.

Also, i think income tax is double taxation. Businesses are the key market players in an economy so why not orient all taxation around them? Do away with personal income tax and property tax. Keep/increase sales tax, luxury tax, sin tax. And clamp the largest salary in a company to be allowed no more than 20x the average salary in the company to address wage disparities. If the CEO deserves a 1 mil bonus, the average employee deserves at least a 50k bonus. Also, no worker’s rate can be paid less than 1/20th the salary than the average employee. The more spread out the dollars are, the better it is for the economy.

So with a 401k loan, which is kind of this, you are limited to borrowing against it by like only up to 50% of its face value due to factors such as market volatility. And then all payments made to that loan are with alreaey taxed income, so you aren’t securing money in any way that dodges taxation.

Also using shareholdings is no different from using a house or property as collateral… property equity has unrealized value until it is sold too. One might argue you pay property taxes on that equity, but ideally, the company behind the stocks you own pays property taxes for its ownings annually, so that’s still happening. So the real problem is large companies dodging taxes due to exploiting broken tax code loopholes.

Thats probably why Trump picked him.

It kind of feels like him getting shot at by a registered republican was his campaign ‘jumping the shark’. I don’t condone it by any means but there’s a level of irony to how the last few months have played out

If there’s commonly used data that would be good for indexing or filtering, you can take a few key values and keep them stored in their own fields.

There are also often functions that can parse structured text like XML or JSON so you can store data in blobs but not actually need to query all the blobs out to a client to use them on the database side and retrieve specific values. Another nice thing about blobs is the data can be somewhat flexible in structure. If i need to add a field to something that is a key/value pair inside a blob, i dont necessarily have to change a bunch of table schemas to get the functionality on the front end that I’m after. Just add a few keys inside the blob.

I like to assume it’s related to all the lead released into the environment. The populations IQ went down 5 to 10 points due to lead poisoning from leaded gasoline in the 20th century so someone could turn a fat profit at the cost of humanity’s cognitivity. Critical thinking is harder than it used to be.

It’s still the same situation with illegal drugs, but America outsourced the production and supply chain largely underground (and to other countries as they are much easier to smuggle than alcohol.) So same problems and empowering gangs, but happening outside Americas borders, and thus not America’s problem. Most present day issues with drug cartels are a derivative of America trying to control peoples’ access to substances and driving them from the open market to the black market… seems to have done a lot more harm to the world and peoples lives than good (as an opinion).
