I get what you're saying but the sexism and racism lead, in this case, directly to slavery, so maybe blow shit up before women and blacks become slaves. Again.

America is toast. Best we can hope for is a military coup. Military purge is in progress. At this point I think threatening to nuke Canada is the red line and only if prevailing winds are on my side.

Left and right are living in alternate realuties and this can only lead to violence. If the military chooses right then it's world war 3.

I have to create files and email them as part of my job but I have no idea where those files are. There are multiple versions and i don't know where the cloud is. Where is file explorer? How do I save to desktop? Why are there multiple desktops? Where is my documents? I am so fucking lost and that file needs to be sent immediately so someone else knows what to do next. What training? I grew up on xp and the ribbon is incomprehensible hieroglyphics.

Im not joking. Where the fuck is the file I just saved to desktop? It's not on my fucking desktop and I saved to desktop because it's the only place on my work laptop I can reliably find. Oh, I sent the wrong version? Well where the fuck is the one i just edited? Somewhere in the cloud...

I'm sorry but this is humanity, survivorship bias and American exceptionalism all rolled up into one. You are living on planet 'only americans are special' and it's properly crazy. Please educate yourself about the resiliance of people in every other nation on Earth. You'll find there is precisely nothing american about it.

Plates, cups and bowls can be bought second hand at charity/opp/goodwill shops in my experience. They also often have small appliances, sometimes new as people donate unwanted gifts. Pie makers are very common. Noone should buy new pie makes.

Serial rapist given reduced sentence for having the cognitive level of a 14 year old boy. He has been a known rapist for decades but they will still let him out to do it again.

From wikipedia:

In 1976, Pinder was found guilty of unlawful carnal knowledge of a teenage girl in Miami, Florida. He was given five years probation.[21][22]

In 1992, Pinder faced charges of attempted sexual assault. He was convicted by the Western Australian Supreme Court and was sentenced to 18 months' jail.[23][24] In the following year he was also found guilty of raping a 23-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl; the three offences had occurred between 1988 and 1990.[21] In 1996, he was sentenced to five years' jail for sexual offences involving a 15-year-old girl.[25][26] In 2001, he was acquitted in the New South Wales District Court on a charge of raping a 19-year-old woman the previous year.[27] In 2013, he was arrested on a charge relating to an alleged rape in 1987. He was cleared in August 2016.[28]

In 2021, Pinder was arrested and charged with stalking a woman in Sydney. He was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment.[29] In April 2023, he pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault that occurred in November 2009 and March 2021.[21] In March 2024, he was sentenced to eight years prison for the two assaults.[20]

Pinder was assaulted in prison in 2021 and 2023, requiring him to undergo CT and MRI scans for his injuries.

 

I'm middle aged and this has been stuck in my head for a couple of years now. Hauntingly beautiful.

 

Is this really about a change to maritime fuels? I'm genuinely curious because the change is extreme.
