It doesn’t literally shut down. Funding to a lot of agencies stops until a budget is agreed upon. Bit oversimplified, but more or less.

DARE by Gorillaz for those who similarly have no idea what this is in reference to.

I’ve read somewhere that those old toasters are fire hazards.

Bezos is no longer relevant to Amazon making changes.

She looks every bit as demonic as she acted.

Fortunately, being an infant, it still has a pretty good chance of that.

It’s about control. Racism and control.

I think you might mean you know your friends and family don’t get sick… If none of your friends or family don’t get sick, that means all of them get sick.

I’m going to have to disagree with you. There are a lot of people who don’t bother to test themselves because they don’t think COVID is a big deal in any way.

Automatically sending them to homes would be extremely wasteful in a country where some half of the populace would never bother using them. Half would go straight in the trash.

I could totally take a 6-year-old human.

Of course. They humiliated themselves on the international stage with these things, and if there’s one thing the CCP won’t tolerate, it’s losing face/status. Well, that and dissent.

According to a police affidavit, the woman, then 21, was separated from friends after an off-campus Halloween party in 2015. She said that she was drunk for the first time, and Mr. Khan, an acquaintance, sat with her that night as she repeatedly got sick.

The woman said she woke in the middle of the night to find Mr. Khan on top of her. She tried to push him off, she said, and in the morning, found herself naked, even though she remembered lying down fully clothed. She had bruising on her legs and saw used condoms on the floor, she said.

“What you did to me last night was wrong,” she told Mr. Khan, according to an affidavit. “You should leave.”

During the criminal trial, his lawyers challenged that account, saying that the sex was consensual, and that he had been invited into her room.

In the cross-examination, they asked questions such as: Why did her memory blank on certain details, but not others, like the assault itself? Why did she send Mr. Khan what they called flirty text messages before the alleged assault? And why did she wear a black cat costume for Halloween instead of a more modest one, such as “Cinderella in a long flowing gown”?

Well that’s absolutely infuriating.

Jenna. Probably because the only Jenna I’ve ever known was super obnoxious.

I wouldn’t be buried alive for an hour for a million dollars.

Quite a lot are planned–surgeries, for example. Best to do your research. Also, if you’ve already done your research and then have an emergency, you’ll know which hospital to go to.

Unrepentant means she should have a longer sentence.

Good. Get fucked.

Wow, that’s horrible. Not surprising here, but still horrible.

It’s partly because of how they’re trained, Killology, and partly because these are people policing us from outside of Seattle.

If you live in the Seattle area, you surely know that a lot of people who don’t live in the metro area really resent Seattlites. They’re not really clear about why. I guess for being progressive.

Not much of the police force lives in the city proper. So we’re being policed by outsiders who dislike us to begin with.
