Sadly you’re not allowed to shoot off duty cops.

Pretty, wish my apartment looked like this. On the flip side, couple dozen wind turbines on the horizon out my bedroom window
My point was Beto had a real shot at unseating Cruz and he fucked it all by repeatedly going on about how he wants to ban guns and never taking the chance to walk it back. You want gun control thats fine, but for the love of god do not campaign on it.
As long as Allred isn’t dumb enough to repeatedly say he will ban all guns multiple times while campaigning in the state with the highest level of gun ownership in the union he might just win.
Weclome back Second Pacific Squadon. Think Japan will accept an invite by the US to run some exercises around Puerto Rico?
I was gonna make fun of the French but then I remembered their nuclear doctrine is to lob a 250kt yield warhead as a warning shot.
Surely it will be safe to stop by the Amazon and pick up a few local critters to boost morale. Say what does venomous mean?
The only thing really different about gen z fashion I’ve noticed is barely anyone wears jeans.
As a US Veteran: Fuck. That.
These are not US Service Members, they did not take an Oath to the US and they do not serve the US interests. Even disregarding the atrocities currently happening by the IDF (who are clearly not understanding what the D in their title is for) none of these members deserve any recognition or compensation from the US govt.
The poor thing starved to death
The Internet is finding balance again. Its so beautiful when an ecosystem thrives.
I work in residential therapy. If me helping people with serious trauma progress their therapy and develop healthier lifestyle routines and prevent self harming doesn’t constitute as solving societal probems then I want to know what the person defining who gets UBI is smoking
Makes the children screaming we are taking their toy away seem even more oblivious when the billion dollar corporation gives absolutely zero shits about losing the business.
Someone explain to this guy how long 12 hours actually is.
A husky is just cat software running on dog hardware. Imagine installing iOS onto and android.
How dare you suggest a ginger can’t naturally develop in a family with a history of brown and black hair! /S
Heave me 'ome, Bri*ish raaaaail.
To tha’ place, sisters thooong.
Git no charisma, so mountin mama!
Take me load, sitting on my chode!
China absolutely doesn’t want the US talking about Taiwan or the island of Taipei at all. They want the West to forget it exists entirely so they can “reunify” with it the same way they squashed out Democracy Riots in Hong Kong once the west got bored and stopped paying attention.
Each country has the right to say if businesses or entities of a foreign country can operate in their borders. The US Govt is rarely directly involved with operationing a company or business, with the biggest exception being the US Postal Service. So while they might make rules and regulations for how companies can do business, these businesses are privately owned, what information they gather on clients or users is for commercial use, typically for advertising purposes.
With Chinese companies, this is not the case, even companies that are technically privately owned are heavily managed by the CCP if not directly operated or owned by an official member of the govt. So while in the US if a company like Instagram or Twitter was told by the US govt to hand over information about certain individuals, without a warrent clearly defining what data to hand over and the reason for it, those companies can and in the past repeatedly have used legal means to resist and deny those demands. This isn’t a thing n China, and there is a lot of rumors that all the data these Chinese originating platforms collect by default goes to the Chinese govt, who can use it for anything from espionage, using insider information gathered illegally to manipulate markets or officials, to even things like blackmail or planning military actions in extreme cases. The CCP and all their associated companies have repeatedly shown in the past they don’t care about the rights of citizens in other countries, copyright laws or intellectual rights, and would be more than happy to turn every teenagers smart phone into a listening device into peoples homes and tailor content shown to individuals they identified as someone they can manipulate to radicalize them in a manner that suits them without any regard to that persons wellbeing.
If you think the US Government is untrustworthy (which, yeah it’s not) then you should be absolutely horrified at the thought of ever allowing the Chinese Govt and the CCP having access to any of your personal life or allowed to put software on your device and partake in a social network they curate and moderate.
Sounds like by his own grading scale he is a dismal failure not worth what his title gets paid.
