Dunno, does sound pretty petty and stupid, but another story said that he didn't take them because he didn't want the noise to give them away.

You know, like in the movies when a someone is sneaking up on someone else and the phone rings.

Well, he's always has wanted to f#&k his daughter I guess.

If they did something illegal, why isn't someone answering to a judge and jury?

Cos they've done things that filled pockets with cash and that puts a + is the "PRO" column and kids and their parents don't, at least not as much that cutting it off would affect much..

It's not rocket science.

For some reason I'm reminded of Robin Cook books for some reason.

haha i was thinking that as well.

I mean, if it's to get around a physical situation for certain locations and that was the only way to do drive thru, great.

But what does it bring to the table for the regular stores that already have a drive thru? Costs more money, takes more time, and has more options to break down.

Not disagreeing with you to "some" extent, they have a lack of a lot of things.

Like I said, next one (and there will be, history has proven that it's just a matter of time) will be far bloodier and I'm not sure all of it spilled will be from the shooters hand or even directed AT the shooter.

You are going to have a bunch of people with guns running around looking for "someone" with a gun....so it's going to be a mess.

At this point with all the changes to the narrative, I wouldn't be surprised that he died by self inflicted wounds and not the BP.

As well as others who are doing the same thing.

The next one is going to have 10+ strangers running around an active shooter situation, so at that point "anyone that isn't a cop in uniform and carrying a gun" is going to get shot at.

It's going to be a nightmare.

All because "macho men" bragged they would do what was needed in that situation and when that situation presented itself they opted to do nothing. It's one thing to have people outright killed in the shooting, it's another to hear of people bleeding out cos they stood around.

It's weird really, especially since it's at a "somewhat" stage (like 10-20%). I can taste lemon, but biting into one doesn't give that puckerface reaction at the back of my mouth at the jawline. It's weird to know my body isn't reacting to reality.

the white paper explains all..(except reality)

Keep in mind that the media has also reported that chocolate and coffee can/will either give you cancer or prevent you from getting cancer, based on how they interpret and spin the data from the sources and how much money it'll generate by saying it. Similar with Milk, Coffee etc.

Moderation is never mentioned, just overuse.

Saw a story the other day that said that over the counter medication is bad for you if you don't use it as directed. No ----, we can't live more than 2 or 3 days w/out drinking water but you can sure drink enough water to kill you.

It was a swig, not a shot glass .;P put it this way, it was way less than what was on an order of hot wings, and it was only once in the morning and once at night so wasn't excessive. ;p

But yah, it's a weird feeling and I've lost weight as well, I'm still a fatty, but I've had to notch my belt 2 times and ready for a third because if I have anything in my pockets, my pants start eventually start to slip as I move, especially walking.

I don't enjoy the food as much and when I am hungry I can barely finish a ham sandwich because I take a bite or two and I'm no longer hungry. But that may be more due to stress from the stupidity currently going on at work.

It's easier than convincing someone to change there mind, especially with the Flat Earth style of evidence (bat crap crazy and ignores observable reality).

It's like one side thinks the earth is flat, ignoring 98% of observable reality, and the other side doesn't believe in a "ball earth" either but it's not flat either. It's like a 20sided di. mostly round but has flat spots.

Both sides are completely and 100% wrong, but we have no choice but to pick one or the other.

We are a petty and ultimately stupid society and we champion it like it means something.

My co-worker just said he came back positive for it, luckily it's mild so far and we work from home and he's willing to work as it's not really that bad so far. he's vaxed and so is his family, but they also have a 7mo kid so there is that.

I got it 2 days before xmas, The tip was loss of smell and taste, not much else symptom wise, felt like a summer cold and not much energy.

The smell/taste was weird. I couldn't even smell/taste hot sauce cos it was the most intense flavor I had in the house so I'd take a swig to see if it was coming back. Couldn't taste it for weeks and it was more like Taco Bell extra extra mild hot sauce...they basically waved the spices past the mix like a Bartender does with an extra dry martini.

6 months later, I still can't really smell/taste anything. Like I can smell/taste really intense strong flavors/odors (and oddly salt for some reason).

It's at the stage where Amber Heard could have taken a full dump in my bed next to me, corn and all and maybe a little runny, and if I didn't see it, I'd have just thought someone farted in the next room.

U do realize that uvalde and tulsa shooters both passed that right? In the case of tulsa (may or may not be tru) was purchased 3 hours before the shooting.

Lived in South Africa too long.

Going thru that now, 2 days a week to do a job I can do w/out the commute.

The amusing thing is the person who is our Director is spouting off the corporate mantra about the importance of maintaining the office environment, totally on board with the "in office" mantra and ignores the reality that while he's Directing our team from his office, HIS office is in NC, OUR office is 4 states away.

It's like, as a country, we've just gone thru 2 years of proving we can do it fine, but no, they want us in the office. He replaced another director like, 8 months ago last November, never been in the same room with him or really had much interaction. I've talked to him on the phone, but that's it. I know what he looks like (from MS Teams) but have never met him in person and don't expect to until the next quarterly meeting in Sept, if then.

Luckily it's only 16 hours a week, not 40, but I'm sure they will start pushing. Gotta justify that lease.

never told them why he locked them up soon as he got home every day.

The guns or the grandkids?

depends, if the cancer rumors are true, he may just want to go out with a bang.

Maybe, could also give a bunch of woodies that they will have to gather in a circle to "expel" the urges.

They may not have had a "legal duty" but they sure had an image of having it, one that suddenly didn't match reality and a lot of people noticed, but there are thousands who are bragging that they would not do what those guys did but when push comes to shove, they wouldn't do anything different. This is the scene from Demolition man where Rob Schneider's character who claims that "We are the police, we are not trained to deal with this kind of violence" when Phoenix escaped.

Someone referred to them as LARPers and that is stuck in my head.

What is the record for the dumbest comments by a single person??

6-7 years give or take.

Does this happen often enough that it's just assumed its not serious until it's too late to affect the results? Reminded of the boy who cried wolf story with a bit of 'snitches get stitches' thrown in.

I am not sure a touchy-feely police unit would have had much impact, but the liberal in me supports the concept.

May not have, but we have people bragging about the capabilities to do the impossible that they can do, but when that situation happens they sit in the parking lot.

People respect the "trying", no on wants to think about fully geared people sitting out in the parking lot jacking each other's ego, especially when they and people they know and care about as the subject of it.

Aint that what they signed up for? Wear the snazzy uniform, get to carry a weapon and use it against people to tell them what to do.

1 kid, 2 guns, each one of them is more geared than that and there were likely at least 50 dressed similarly.

Also......where was teachers box of rocks at? not installed yet?

So it's cheaper to lock someone up for 6 years than it is to provide social services and housing?
In America, it's always about punishment, not help.

No, it's about money. 6 years in prison at a facility that is paid for by the state and they can get kickbacks (or contributions) to keep the money flowing, all the people involved in legal matters etc..

We've got people bragging about the idea of "id run into that burning building" while it's fictional, when it actually happens the little boys in their costumes wait outside, forgetting all that bragging. Cop's went home safe and sound to their families after 40 min excitement (but no action).
