1 day agoMy wife and I (both with ADHD) do both, and alternate who is doing which. We’re on the same page about 75% of the time, and practicing our communication skills the rest of the time.

3·2 days ago[King] Bluetooth was extremely influential, joining the tribes of the region into one kingdom — which is why the technology that unites electronic devices is named after him.
35·3 days agoThis has been interesting to watch: Hegseth is apparently running against the grain or considered untrustworthy. Gabbard is expressing contrary opinions to the media. Tucker Carlson is part of the media resistance on this issue. Marjorie Taylor Greene is also opposed to the extent that she tries for express thought.
It’s a who’s who of people that carry water for Russia in the U.S. Of course Russia doesn’t want the U.S. at war with its primary military partner and missile/drone supplier. Sorta funny and sad to see all of them so desperately crawl out of the shadows to reveal their real masters.

Tim Allen did it better while doing an okay job portraying a mediocre TV actor.
Ah, I see. That is much clearer.
The testimony given is that Gamboa had pulled out his weapon while hidden behind a barrier, and was in a firing position while running into the crowd is supported the video. At the very beginning of the video, it shows him walking, then running, while holding the weapon in his right hand.
I guess if he ducked away to surreptitiously pull the weapon out, he should have… I don’t know, slung it, rather than held it, and responded to the folks who drew on him, rather than try to run into the crowd.
I wouldn’t have stepped out of cover with my hands on it if that were the case. But also, if I were open carrying, I wouldn’t be wearing a ski mask.
Nothing about his actions read proper to me.
40·7 days agoI dated a girl with a very Italian last name for a number of years. She said that ‘back in the day’ certain parts of her family were connected in our city. Laughed it off, because that was history. Her dad was never involved, and her grandpa was only a little involved, I guess, and… whatever. It just wasn’t a thing in their lives and hadn’t really been a thing in our city since like the 70’s.
We took a trip to NYC, and after eating at this lovely hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant, she paid. After seeing the name on the CC, the whole vibe sort of changed. Staff got shy. A manager came over to offer us a big discount on our food, and free dessert.
My GF understood it, I guess, and told him that we were from out of town and didn’t have any family in town. After a very brief pause, the manager said something like “Oooh. It must have been another table that complained about their food…” They still gave us free dessert for the mix-up (we were already going to order dessert - it’s not like we were pretending to be mini-mafiosos out there).
I would argue he should have carried his rifle the whole time and not concealed it in a bag and pulled it out amidst the crowd before I consider the jumpiness of the person trying to keep the crowd safe.
What video?
The traffic cam video? The detail on that is horrific. I would not attempt to create any theories from that.If there’s other video to support your statements, can you link it?
I’d say that his actions were not legal or sanctioned. He had the rifle concealed in a carrying case, which he waited until he was middle of a crowd, whereupon he removed it, and regardless of whether or not his handling of the weapon met the legal definition of brandishing it, he still handled it in a manner that incited panic.
If he wanted to open carry, he should have had the firearm openly carried the entire time he was at the protest (including his outside approach to it) and he should have never put his hands on the weapon.
I don’t do a lot of design anymore, but I still wind up working on data visualizations a fair amount.
It’s both subversive and satisfying how well the various LGBTQ+ flag color combinations work when creating stacked area charts.
3·7 days agoThat’s fair. That also highlights the importance of having the people show up en masse.
Or the designer knew exactly what they were doing and pulled one over on leadership.
I haven’t seen someone suggest the designer knew this looked like the Russian flag and left it in there as a tongue in cheek criticism/metacommentary, but that’s what I would do.
I shared a theory with some of my friends that I think the police also have a pretty vested interest in ensuring these stay peaceful.
Given what Trump/his Project 2025 puppet masters did in LA, where they’re trying to spark a flash point, I think local PD do not want to have their jurisdiction overruled.
They listed off several cities grouped by state, and some states seemingly disproportionately represented. (Like 5 cities from Kansas.)
The post author probably just listed of all the cities they could think of that had rallies, likely biased by their geographic familiarity.I wouldn’t take inclusion or exclusion to mean special or lack of recognition. Everywhere that could showed out to the extent that they could, and that’s what mattered. Heck, people in other countries protested, too!
The add on comment implies the existence of women that ironically marry men.
To be fair, it’s usually pretty trash, as beer goes. I actually thought your comment was more of a meta-commentary on the beer itself!
A common adage, typically with 3.2% brand names swapped in for ‘American beer’:
What do American beer and making love in a canoe have in common?
They’re both fucking close to water!
lol, no worries. My comment wasn’t intended to be sarcastic toward your response. Definitely intended to mock how dumb the U.S. legislative system is.
In the same way that ketchup is considered a vegetable in the U.S.
I’m going to respond to a later comment of yours here for the sake of visibility.
Tucker Carlson flew to Russia to interview Vladimir Putin last year. That trip was financed by Tenant Media - the same group that was revealed to have been financed by Russia for the sake of spreading Russian talking points. Justin Trudeau gave testimony under oath that Tucker was shilling for Russia.
It is more challenging, generally, to show that politicians are illegally taking money from foreign interests because the pathways by which money is publicly disclosed are more well-known. So the pathways through which money may be hidden can also be followed to disguise the source of income. Unless one gets caught.
As did an aid of Rand Paul’s, who helped funnel Russian money into the RNC during the 2016 election, and whom was later pardoned by Trump, at Rand Paul’s urging.
As far as Gabbard is concerned - no money trails, but even her own staff think she’s compromised.
