4·10 hours agoWin what “overwhelmingly”? There’s nothing more to win between now and election day. Well… the 2nd debate maybe.
Biden loses the election, he’s done. Win or lose, odds are pretty good he’s not making it to '28 regardless.
No, but measure 110 made it dramatically worse.
The September plan is to start undoing that damage.
The goal is to convince them to enter treatment. If the alternative is prison, that’s a strong incentive to get treatment.
Apparently an amputation isn’t serious enough? 🤔
That’s just the most recent example. Just giving people housing brushes the problems under the rug and concentrates them, it doesn’t solve them.
It definitely accelerated after 110 passed.
I’d think you would end up living differently just because of the scale.
Let’s say you were suddenly handed 100 million dollars. Lottery, inheritance, whatever.
I don’t know what your annual salary is, but for me, that’s 694.4 years worth of annual income.
So “paying myself” my current annual salary, which NGL, is pretty comfortable, it would take 694.4 years to burn through $100M.
Of course interest changes that as well. Capping yourself at whatever your annual income is would likely see your wealth continuing to grow and never shrink.
All of a sudden, a world of possibilities opens to you. Vacation rentals? Screw that, vacation HOMES. AirBNB them 96% of the time (50/52 weeks a year) and that’s more money on the pile.
Not only that, she works for a billion dollar multi-national. I can’t tell you who, but you do know who they are. They even have union representation in other areas, just not hers.

Or worse, I can afford it but still can’t go because my wife can’t get the time off from work.
She had to get a doctors note to get 2 extra days off around the 4th to recover from surgery(!)
Surgery aside, I would have loved to have packed up this week and spent it someplace fun. My wife would have only had Thursday off. She got Wed, Thur, Fri only because her doctor told her employer to get fucked.
It’s not like I can go “Sorry honey! Headed to Vegas! See you in a week!” Well… not if I wanted to STAY married.
Old time comedian Alan King had a great bit he would do called “Survived by Wife”:
And yet if the teachers posted fake accounts of the students as babies covered in poop going “Going to school today! Wish me luck!” suddenly THEY would be the bad guys.
1·1 day agoRemoved as a duplicate, see the original discussion from 2 days ago:
It could, but there are far cheaper and easier technologies that have been doing the same thing for years.
Sooo… it scans your ID to verify you’re of age, scans your face to verify you match the ID, then scans your credit card to verify payment.
Not seeing where “AI” enters into it.
I guess the only thing that elevates this over an online purchase is making sure some kid isn’t using a stolen credit card.
What still makes no sense to me is the whole “18 for rifle ammo, 21 for pistol ammo”. It ignores rifles that use pistol ammo:

The 18/21 restriction is on what kind of GUN you can buy at that age, the ammo shouldn’t enter into it.
Gun dealer: “Sorry, kid, can’t sell you that box of .40 because you could put in a Glock, here’s a box of .223 instead.”
Tequila/lime cake stuffed with sprinkles?
The street, which is obviously unsafe, noisy, completely not conducive to good sleep, and open to the elements.
It’s the stick to get them to accept the carrot of treatment.
There was a young woman named Bright.
Whose speed was much faster than light.
She departed one day,
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night!
