FWIW, I only get a captcha when I’m using a VPN, which sucks. I go straight to the article if I turn off my VPN.

Last time a republican presidential candidate won California was Bush Sr. in 1988.

Your statement is now null and void due to clerical error. Your data are going to be shared with the world, whether anyone wants it or not. Thank you.

They announced the CSAM charges last year.

King was accused of soliciting a Snapchat user in July 2023 to “knowingly and willingly produce child pornography.” He was also accused of possession of child pornography.

He was also charged with insubordination for leaving his base after curfew and drinking alcohol in violation of Army regulations.

Anita Baker is the R&B singer lol

Come on, you’re so close!

Glad she was okay, damn. That story made me remember Stacy from Wayne’s World

You might want to find out so you can work with whatever your diagnosis may be. It may be something as simple as changing the way you think, it could be more. But whatever you’re doing now doesn’t seem to be working.

My personal experience after finally getting help was that some of what I was going through was more of my own choosing as opposed to whatever my diagnosis was. Some work on the way I thought about things helped much more than expected. I still have real issues, but less than I had before.

Go talk to a professional first, figure out what’s going on.

Oh, if the answer to your post question is no, it’s not normal, what would you do?

The table of contents at the beginning of the report has a link to the methodology. Here’s the methodology for this study:

Towards the bottom there is an image with the info you need.

He stopped being such an ass around 2018 or so. Wound up issuing an apology and changed his ways. He’s been fairly levelheaded since. Nice to see people are able to change.

but this stat is also missing germany and uk for no reason so its weird to begin with, who knows really

OP should have posted the original source, but there’s another comment with the actual Eurostat graph and it’s for the EU. It says Germany had no data available and UK is left out because it is not in the EU.

They say it is cheaper than what they expected. The article states they expected $70K and its a bit cheaper than that. There’s nothing incorrect about that.

No kidding. My statement was made in the context of the article, where he’s spewing BS and pointing it out that it is BS.

Here, I’ll expand more f9r your benefit.

let them do and say whatever they want …

Without arguments or counterpoint, or pointing out how fing dumb the statements/actions/whatever are.

And at no time did anyone in this thread condone violence to silence them. Where did you get that from?

How does ignoring him help? He’s still going to run, he’s still going to spew his bullshit. Without criticism, his party could have gained more seats/positions. With the media, more people are able to see how stupid he is. The ones that voted for reform were going to vote that way anyhow. It is worth it to discuss stuff to keep others from being swayed their way.

Ignoring stuff doesn’t automatically make things go away. Ignoring stuff isn’t going to change the minds of people who would consider voting for people like him.

If you still disagree with me, thats cool. I don’t really care because at least you arent supporting him or his shit platform.

Better than ignoring it. Notice Farage’s party didn’t win any notable positions in the last election? Yeah, its because of media coverage and people discussing politics. Just because you want to ignore everything and feel useless doesn’t mean everyone should.

Sure, let’s ignore them and let them do and say whatever they want. Yeah, great idea.

Let’s ignore them so no one else can learn how stupid he and other people like him are. Yeah, great idea.

Let’s just ignore anything we don’t like and live in some bubble where we don’t see things we don’t like. Yeah, great idea.

Ignoring stupid people doesn’t stop stupid people from doing and saying stupid shit. Pointing out stupid shit is important.

Damn, OP, what a fail of a link.

https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/07/27/apple-reaches-agreement-with-unionized-maryland-apple-store-workers

Some 85 employees of the first unionized Apple Store in Towson, Maryland will vote on the first union-negotiated agreement with Apple to improve working conditions on August 6th, 2024.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers’ Coalition of Organized Retail Employees (IAM-CORE) negotiated the tentative agreement between the retail workers and Apple.

The new agreement, which would be good for three years, includes better work-life balance on scheduling and pay raises. Both areas had been a complaint amongst the workers at the Towson Store.

Other improvements include rules on transparency, a severance clause, and limits on contracted employees. All current benefits are preserved, and there is an agreement to bargain over any future additions, the union said in a statement.

“We’re extremely proud to be the first union to take on this fight for Apple workers,” said IAM Eastern Territory General Vice President David Sullivan. “The true partnership between the IAM, IAM CORE and Apple workers has led us to this historic moment.”

The workers at the Towson Apple Store voted to join the union in June of 2022. The 85 workers, the union and Apple began negotiating a formal agreement in May of 2023. After a year of what the union called stalling tactics by the store’s management, workers voted to authorize a strike sanction against the company in June 2024.

There are only a handful of Apple retail stores that have unionized staff. The staff at the store in Reston, Virginia documented Apple management’s stalling tactics in a secret video taken during negotiations.

The US National Labor Relations Board has twice ruled that Apple has broken the law with regards to labor relations. The NLRB found Apple guilty of denying unionized stores the same benefits it gave non-unionized stores, and also conducted illegal interrogations of union staff at its World Trade Center store in New York City.

Sweet, I hope they find it. It sucks dealing with those smells, especially in hot weather.

From past experiences, if you give them the general direction the smell is coming from, animal control is usually pretty good at finding the carcass, but if someone else knows where it is, it makes things much easier.

Do you have an animal control department in your city/county? From the places I’ve lived before, they’re the ones that take care of the carcass. Try calling them, it might help.
