I'm sure they are also pretty effective for people with more nefarious uses for them.

He's just mad he's not getting a cut.

Not likely. The problem is that you can only appeal to them in person. Any appeal made through the internet or the media will miss them completely. They self isolate in the media by only watching networks that confirm their bias against literally any climate activism and online there are algorithms that do it for them. When you do appeal to them in person, they attack you as a Soros-serving, leftist, liberal and declare that everything you tell them is fake news. They won't believe it until it affects them personally and even then they'll try to blame liberals for it while continuing to refuse to take positive action.

Great spot to hang out and watch the world from!

My cats have that cat tree with the bag/bed and that three-way tube toy as well. They love them both. Brownie is appropriately spoiled.

"The most pressing problem is not that they’re [AI] going to take our jobs, not that they’re going to change warfare, but that they’re going to destroy human trust. They’re going to move us into a world where you can’t tell truth from falsehood. You don’t know who to trust. Trust turns out to be one of the most important features of civilization, and we are now at great risk of destroying the links of trust that have made civilization possible." - Daniel C. Dennett

In a few years you will not know what is true or false unless you see it in person with your own eyes. Even video and audio proof are going by the wayside.

No they wouldn't. Upper management wouldn't know where or if you were buried. They wouldn't even notice you were gone except for the single line item in the accounting ledger showing where the dead-peasant policy payout was entered.

When I go to bed I put my pill bottle in one place. When I take the pill in the morning, I put it in a different place. I've considered buying one of those timer bottle caps. They fit generic pill bottles and have timer built into the top. You can look at the timer and see how long it's been since you opened the bottle last.

I have crossed a road at a run to beat an approaching car before, and had I been struck it definitely would've been my fault for not practicing proper safety.

I'm with you on this, however, the speed of the cop is an issue. At three times the speed limit, an approaching car would reach you much faster than you would expect it too. This girl may have glanced, seen the cop in the distance, and never realized how fast he was going. Frankly, if an emergency responder if taking an action this far outside the norm, they should also be taking great care because innocent bystanders cannot be expected to anticipate the responders actions.

Some pig in Florida emptied his gun into a neighborhood...

No, its' better than that. He emptied it into his own squad car. And in a real tribute to his training, he never even hit the handcuffed suspect he had inside the squad car.

"I'm hit! I'm hit!"

Damn straight. If you go to Wisconsin and try to pass off any of that Kraft, individually-wrapped, processed cheese product as actual cheese, you may just get your ass kicked. It'd be like trying to pass off the piss they drink in Wisconsin as beer to a German.

I don't think she was playing alone in the yard. The uncle was there and told her to go inside and she ignored him. As for coyotes, with a rottie and springer in the yard, no coyote would be an issue.

However, if you tell the kid to go inside by their mom, tell the mom that you did so. Uncle was a dumb shit. You can't count on a three year old to do as they're told.
