Yes, its insane the most effective way to say “don’t put that thing on my truck and go away” is a gun, or in your version “put the cart away”. Both are in the wrong.
Cart guy should’ve left earlier, gun guy should never pulled a gun (and put the fucking cart away)
I agree the guy shouldn’t be so quick to pull a gun, but it also solved his problem very quickly. He was getting harassed, gun came out, he was no longer harassed. Nobody got hurt, nothing was damaged, and the situation was resolved quickly.
The Cart Narc guy was fine at first, but he should’ve said his business and left it at that. He kept arguing, pulled out a magnet and was just harassing the guy over a cart. The guy in the van has no idea when the dude will stop, so he stops him safely (for him). He didn’t jump out to fight. Is a gun an over reaction, absolutly, but the results speak for themselves.
How does this resolve in California? Same people, no gun? Do they all hug at the end?
I was fine with annoying guy calling out the dude for not putting his cart away. Until he pulled out a magnet, (at least it wasn’t a sticker). Don’t fuck with people’s property.
If by last century, you mean 1900-1999; 2
If you mean in the last 100 years; 1. Which is honestly impressive all things considered.
My brain; “120 years? So the mid 1800s right?..”
Let’s assume she is telling the truth.
If this happened between ages 9-12, I’d be looking at the family as a whole to determine how this happened at such a young age and for so long with out any adult knowing. There wasn’t the internet where information about such topics is freely avalible. Someone planted the seeds and some one else failed to educate the kids about personal space while also somehow making the girl not want to tell her parents “hey my brother invented a wired new game!”.
I’ll also acknowledge that the girl may have been “consenting” to secret play time with out really knowing what was going on. At the time all was fine, but retrospectively all was clearly not fine.
Ultimately it’s a he said, she said fight and we will never know the truth. I wish the best for both individuals.
#MeToo has also shown that there are people out there will claim SA as a form of revenge or in attempt to get money of the situation.
As things are, the man is always assumed guilty even when proven innocent.
I try not to take accusations at face value for this reason. You have to put your self in their shoes; If someone accuses you of SA 30 years ago, what do you do? How do you convince people it never happened or in the case of two consenting adults hooking up, how do convince people it was consensual?
By the time you prove your innocence, you’ve lost your job, friends, family, possibly divorced, children all have 100 mile restraining orders and have been told terrible things about you…your life is fucked because some saw the #MeToo movement and figured out there are 0 consequences for fucking up someone’s life.
That being said, if the accused is proven guilty, then feel free to chop of their head (not the one attached to the neck).
That whole article basically sums to they settled out of court, which proves nothing.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Also a lot of famous people are “alleged r*pists”, unfortunately that seems to come with the fame, especially in the last 10 years.
Why are they not scientists? Sure their profession was in special effects, but you don’t need a degree or a lab to carry out scientific research.
No you don’t need a license to be a journalist.
My thought was more about the scale of the project. For a journalists, just fact checking someone online doesn’t make you a journalists. If you went out to fact check something at the source, compiled a bunch of evidence and presented it publicly, then you’d call your self a journalist.
Back to the electrician (ignoring license requirements), swapping out a light switch isn’t much, but if you learned how to rewired a whole house, install panels, ceilings fans, etc - you’d call you self an electrition.
And you’re right, the electrician is kind of a bad comparison.
News isn’t a primary source. In most cases its a secondary source. They ask the primary “what happened” or get a press release from wherever and report on that.
They can be a primary source if they are live on location recording something as it happens. In that case, only the video (or written account) and individuals are primary sources, the second it goes through the studio’s writers it becomes a secondary source.
Journalist is defined as anyone who writes for public news media. If op writes an article an publicly posts it, they are a blogger. If they post it anywhere that can be considered a news site (IMO, if their a own site is a news site, it counts), they are a journalist.
A good journalists is one who takes in many primary sources, maybe fills the gaps with some other secondaries and informs the public with the most informed information they have. Unfortunately corporate news has become an echo chamber of secondary sources with no one independently looking at primary sources. If it ain’t cited don’t trust it.
If the OP of the shower thought, basically fact checks someone else, then they are doing the work of a journalist. However simply doing a bit of work does not earn you the title, just like replacing a light switch at your house does not make you an electrician (even if you do it better then some of the “professionals”)
Free food and coupons. Most of the time there’s a 20% off coupon. The point system actually leads to free sandwiches and stuff.
That’s easy. Let’s assume you take home 18,000 a month. To get the couch, cut your food budget in half and skip rent for 1 month.
Using the extra $900 to hire a moving company to get the couch in.
Next month, you going to face late fees Again, cut the food budget in half, and use the $900 for rent.
Repeat for matching Tiger and Panther couches.
If your landlord complains about the late and unpaid rent, just remind them its all for the couches. They’ll understand and leave you alone. That being said, be sure to place the couches so one can be easily moved in front the door whenever you’re there.
Wikipedia has a page talking about making your own page. Its definitely biased, focusing on why its a poor idea, but it was still a mildly interesting read.

Could be some form of love. There’s some crazy out there.
I used Ember…
trust me, do not use that one
I’ve started ignoring random posts about it.
Its the equivalent of telling your little sibling about it and having to listen to them shout “I lost the game” for next 5 months. It gets old quick.
Now if I think about this post and comment later on my own, then sure I’ll have lost the game.
Early apple had personality, now it’s been replaced.
You know, thinking back - that test (and all the rest) would have yielded much better results for us if they had us do them more often.
Instead it was normal sports most of the year and twice a year we did nothing but various strength, endurance, and sprinting exercises for one class.
Well, with the amount they are attempting to rewrite, if Archive.org goes down, the dark ages shall begin.
