You’re good
Thanks! I did at least rather lazily added more info to the body of OP. I'll take care to be fully compliant in the future.
Hey I apologize, was almost literally on the way out the door to take a family member to the ER when I saw that and hit the crosspost button. Am only home a few minutes now, but will add the text later when I'm going to be home awhile. Apologies!
I'm gonna read it, but in my 50-some years I have never enjoyed any movie LESS than Showgirls. That move was so awful that it sucked any possible enjoyment out of the sex and nudity. So, using this as the source for the banner and as some kind of centerpiece for this article is leaving me a little skeptical that I'm going to agree with the author's overall point.
Edited later to add:
The original press release seems to be gone now, but here is what is claimed to be the revised release, and an article on the same topic.

There is still the perception that it's too cheap to be good in many cases. I've run into this fairly recently. It's stupid, but it exists, and sometimes it exists in the people making the decisions.
Yes. The thing to remember is in many cases you aren't explaining for the person you are debating with or answering a question for. You are doing it for others who may read the conversation.
I've had things brought to light in online discussion change my mind or educate me many times. When I see someone claim these conversations are useless or a waste of time, I just think they are really setting weird criteria for what constitutes a waste of time.
Sure, sometimes I ain't got no time for that, but other times I do, and I figure the same is true for many others as well.
And it still won't matter to anyone who was already planning to vote for him.
Just because someone can’t demonstrate something doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
That's exactly my point about whether or not she's an asshole. Moreover, the outcome of the legal proceedings don't depend on whether anyone can prove it.
But the outcome of the legal proceedings are entirely dependent on whether she can prove her assertion.
You disagree with my assessment because you are misinterpreting it.
if she’s conflating her orientation class with her just being a fucking asshole she should lose.
How would one show that in a court room?
no one is required to do so for this court room event, and hence:
Doesn’t really matter, either she can prove her case or she can’t.
Doesn't really matter, either she can prove her case or she can't. If she can't, no one has to prove it was because she was an asshole.
Oh for sure, and I wasn't suggesting otherwise.
I expect a more immediate and flagrant violent event in that case vs the other two though.
or he’s going to win (or be handed the win by the Supreme Court Rubber-stamping Service),
I agree with your comment in general and apologize for what may sound like a bit of a flippant reply, but I actually think what would worry me the most is if it it goes to SCOTUS and they somehow do NOT install Trump. I think the super-faithful deep-state-believers would lose their effing minds at that turn of events - this is where I would expect to see the violence ramping up the fastest.
That was a joy to read.
I'm sorry to tell you I am one of those people, as is my family. Every so often I have a moment of clarity about it, but it doesn't last long.
I can't tell you how much humor I found in this response to that comment. 😁
They accidentally made a reasonable decision on something??
The people asking that question with a straight face won't believe you that those morgue trucks existed, just like they didn't believe Covid existed or was worse than the flu.
The only other human he cares about is the daughter he hopes to fuck.
Ah I apologize, I read your comment as citing him for his witty euphemism, not as calling him out for his maga-ness.
You've clearly not been following their Israel/Gaza headlines. They've absolutely been on fire.
I’m not sure if there’s a way to know without checking.
There's not, but I still had a post removed for it. (Worse, after I'd agreed to change it when notified, but not cheerfully enough or something.)
Hmm maybe. I agree it should be a national holiday and I agree that the current situation provides far more barriers for some groups than others.
Do I think those things are solely or even primarily responsible for that map? No, I do not.
Police in small Mississippi city discriminate against Black people, use excessive force, Justice Department probe finds.

The U.S. Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into a Mississippi sheriff’s department whose officers tortured two Black men.

> JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into a Mississippi sheriff’s department whose officers tortured two Black men in a racist attack that included beatings, repeated use of stun guns and assaults with a sex toy before one of the victims was shot in the mouth, officials said Thursday. > > The Justice Department will investigate whether the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department has engaged in a pattern or practice of excessive force and unlawful stops, searches and arrests, and whether it has used racially discriminatory policing practices, according to Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke. > > Five Rankin sheriff’s deputies pleaded guilty in 2023 to breaking into a home without a warrant and engaging in an hourslong attack on Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker. A sixth officer, from the Richland Police Department, was also convicted in the attack
Harold Medina made that argument during an internal investigation of a crash he caused last February.
Medina offered two puzzling excuses for leaving his camera off. He "cited intermittent conversations with his wife, who was a passenger in his unmarked patrol vehicle at the time of the collision," Ortiz says. "He claimed there was a right to privileged communication between spouses, which specifically exempted him from mandatory recording requirements." But the relevant policy "does not provide for nonrecording based on spousal privilege."
Even more troubling, Medina said he "purposefully did not record because he was invoking his 5th Amendment right not to self-incriminate." Since "he was involved in a traffic collision," he reasoned, he was "subject to 5th Amendment protections."
This isn’t crime fighting. It’s an actual crime — a blatant, naked theft carried out by officers, Libertarian Party Chair Evan McMahon writes.

The department has killed more than 400 cases of alleged misconduct this year that an oversight board had investigated and substantiated. It’s part of a lax attitude toward discipline under the current police commissioner, Edward Caban, critics say.

> The New York Police Department has tossed out hundreds of civilian complaints about police misconduct this year without looking at the evidence. > > The cases were fully investigated and substantiated by the city’s police oversight agency, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, and sent to the NYPD for disciplinary action. They included officers wrongfully searching vehicles and homes, as well as using excessive force against New Yorkers. > > In one instance, an officer punched a man in the groin, the oversight agency found. In another, an officer unjustifiably tackled a young man, and then another officer wrongly stopped and searched him, according to the CCRB. > > The incident involving the young man was one of dozens of stop-and-frisk complaints the NYPD dismissed without review this year — a significant development given that the department is still under federal monitoring that a court imposed more than a decade ago over the controversial tactic.

My personal entry point to LL Cool J - and I think best song on his best album.
There's a remix that actually has bells, but I thought I should go with the one most will have heard.
