Driving down the reflecting pool was such stupid rich-boy “because I can” mindset.
That said, from the images I’ve seen, the markings were from sediment and algae deposited as the pool was drained. Not car tires.
It was just a shitty job done by an unqualified contractor who was nothing more than a trump supporter getting a kickback.
AI feeding off AI.
This is the definition of “Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.” It’s gonna F everything up.
Self hatred?
Self preservation. The worm that sides with the bullies in order to protect itself and be close to power.
Social media used to be mostly about keeping up with friends. Now it’s about competing with everyone for money and views.
Big change.
Written like the crazy dictators he claims to want to remove from power. Conservatives become what they hate.
If he was getting better and getting out they would have said so.
He’s not getting better and not getting out, maybe even brain dead, so they say nothing rather than outright lie about his condition.
Absolutely nothing will happen to anyone says says they spoke to him and in fact didn’t.
Taking a lesson in underhanded politics from US republicans. Pass shitty legislation at midnight when nobody else is around to disagree with them.
The ragebait equivalent like someone taking a way uneven slice of pie or cake.
Bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans might be an entry point, especially if some critter crawled into the duct and died.
In China they probably would execute him.
And the profits privatized.
So that means PC component prices will fall, right?

Sounds like more ways for insurance companies to a) charge you more based on behaviors they arbitrarily determine are “bad”, and b) take your payments for years/decades then never pay out because they say something you did on video makes any accident your fault based on some term buried in the 500 page contract you obviously didn’t read all of.
They already do “a” by taking vehicle blackbox info uploaded by dealers or via telemetry and increasing your rate via their risk analysis. Note, your rates never go down for good driving. Only up.
The problems causing drug abuse reflects on the speaker’s treatment of people and the people close to them, it makes them responsible for the fallout of their actions or lack of action.
Blaming the user absolves themselves of any responsibility.
You can apply that to pretty much any social ills, like poverty, homelessness, etc.
IOW, the person blaming the user: may have abused the user in some way as a kid, voted to end substance abuse education in schools, voted to end afterschool programs that might’ve kept kids away from abusive situations or drugs in the house, voted to limit or end food programs that would have allowed people to not become completely destitute and take to drugs for escape, and so on.
There’s the endgame right there.
There’s no reason to downvote you, you’re correct. The only issue I have with this reasoning is that it doesn’t take into account that those accepting the flooding aggressively reject outside information no matter how it’s offered.
We can all be wrong because we want something to be true for whatever the reason, that’s understandable. The rejection of truth otoh is problematic, especially when that rejection rejoices in harm to others.
That’s not what we’re debating. Don’t change the subject.
Why would you look at this and not understand the door shelves are full too?
Syrup lasts longer in the fridge, particularly real maple syrup. It can get mold growing on it.
Condiments are the death of refrigerator space. All different sizes, almost never consumed quickly, and they eat up space waiting to be used.
Gender affirming care.
