I had no idea they were still on the ship.

TLDR: the ship has minimum staffing requirements, even when stationary, the crews visas expired while they were trapped, the investigation is ongoing and the FBI took their cell phones.

And Baltimore attorneys don’t want any of the crew to leave the country until the investigation is over, which may take two years.

The death penalty is always more expensive for tax payers than life in prison. Just be honest and admit you enjoy your blood lust fantasies. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/costs

If Jared Kushner is not a vampire then modern media has lied to me about the signs to look out for.

What the actual fuck. He “doesn’t remember” making the rambling phone calls where he graphically threatens the lives of house members of color, because of his bipolar disorder and his PTSD, and when capitol police show up at his house to politely ask him to stop doing that, he offered to let them take his guns away and they said “No thank you, sir! You keep those bad boys!”

I hope, but don’t believe that he will get the help he needs while incarcerated.

Days before Laundrie killed Petito, police officers pulled them over in Utah after witnesses reported seeing the couple fighting; at least one witness said that they saw Laundrie hit Petito. Police did not interview this witness and instead determined Petito to be the aggressor […] One of the two officers had a history of allegedly committing domestic violence, including allegations that he threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend when he worked at the police department in another Utah town.

Another way of looking at it is, the US military budget is $825 billion and USAID budget is $50 billion. (Already looking bad, USA…)

0.018% of USAID’s budget went to help Gaza, while 1.05% of the US military budget went to destroy Gaza. Congress doesn’t even give 1% of a shit about helping Gaza.

Eh. I’m a pretty plain vanilla middle aged lady and I do crimes on occasion. Not big crimes, but you can’t just not do crimes. Especially before weed was legal, lol. Some people live in states where it’s illegal to commit various consensual acts between consenting adults. They should do crimes. Some people need to not be pregnant, but they are pregnant and it’s illegal to become no longer pregnant where they are. They should do crimes. Some people are drag queens and live in places where that is a crime. Not all laws are good laws.

I’m getting texts about every 12 seconds saying TRUMP IS GUILTY SO YOU SHOULD GIVE MONEY TO THIS PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE. I can only imagine the campaigning that is happening for people that actually like him.

There are definitely areas of California where going less than 10 miles over the speed limit will put you well under the flow of traffic in every lane. If you’re not going 80 on 80, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Well, we are in “unpopular opinion.”

Is this written by AI? Like, a homemade one?

Costco frozen patties + panini press with dishwasher safe grill plates = easier and faster than McDonald’s with almost no clean up. Still trying to find a McDonald’s pickles dupe though.

I thought they both were pretty good. I can’t read that block of spelling errors and no punctuation, but Silo does have a few areas where you must suspend judgement and accept that this is fiction and this is how things work in this fictional world. I don’t know why people have such a hard time with that.

Ew. Don’t say squelch.

How in the world is Ashley Madison still a thing?? I thought it was toast ten years ago:

Ashley Madison has long been a target for extortionists and moral crusaders, with the site suffering a massive data breach back in 2015 after getting hacked. The anonymous hackers demanded the site be taken down or they’d release detailed information about users. After about a month, the hackers made good on their threat, releasing roughly 10 gigabytes of information on the site’s 37 million users. That led to high-profile consequences, including everything from the resignation of a state attorney in Florida to the suicide of a pastor in New Orleans.

I’m a caregiver for a diabetic person and Medicare decided at the new year that they would not cover the medications he’s been doing very well on because they (state insurance, not his doctors) want him on Ozempic instead. They let him keep his insulin, but Victoza, Pandin and Jardiance are gone. We’re having a very hard time keeping his blood sugar steady, he’s getting dangerous lows that he’s not capable of communicating to us, and higher spikes than I’ve seen in the four years I’ve cared for him, so we’re testing more frequently and no, they will not cover the additional testing supplies, that’s out of pocket now.

So, yes. Some people on Medicare are being forced to take it.

Why is the trial in Oklahoma if the crime was committed in Massachusetts? Is it because it’s a federal crime? Seems like judges and juries in Oklahoma are a lot more likely to let the guy off with minimum consequences than those in Massachusetts, no?

California just gave the Planned Parenthood firebomber who also had terror plans for the power grid and a pride event at a baseball stadium 9 years, so I don’t think this guy will get much, if any time in prison.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts said they didn’t yet have the name of any lawyer representing him. He is due to make an initial court appearance in Oklahoma on Thursday. If found guilty, he could face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

No, they don’t care. They have this idea that orgs like TST are a tool of literal Satan™ to trick people into thinking that he is not evil or whatever. Participating in the positive things that TST does gives “Satan a foothold” to, I don’t know, set up shop in your heart? Where Jesus is supposed to be? It’s kind of convoluted, but that’s the idea, for those of them that bothered to get past the name anyway.

It’s X box’s computer now…
