Not news. He flip flops by the day on his stances on racism. He's try to thread the needle and play both sides for his future political aspirations.
Well he is a she, so there's that. :dunno:
AI board. Or degenerate gambler board.
We are all already under mass surveillance. This won't change all that much.
These kinds of people and the frickwads that purposely go and record and antagonize police are insufferable.
Logic says no way. It would have been a long shot even in favorable conditions. The only way I say yes is if they had some sort of outside help.

re: RUSH Fifty something

That opening to Tom Sawyer is epic imo. Even if you don't know rush or the song by name, chances are you still know it's "that song".
So that was quite interesting for a first time procedure. You get in, do the prelim shite, changed and get poked, wheeled off to various waiting areas, then finally into a room where 3 folks are rapidly attaching shite to your body and face. 12 or more wires hanging down, but you don't care because you've just been given anathesia. Now you're waking up, nothing attached, procedure fine, you leave and go home with pictures of your body.

It could be mistaken for the plot of an alien abduction.

A colleague of mine recently went through that with his mom's treatment as well. You basically have to force yourself to eat and drink to try to get your strength up when you don't feel like eating or drinking anything at all.

I thought you generally had to have a valid reason so it can't be challenged later. In this case in particular, it was very easy. Three of them were educators and could have had personal relationships either with the students themselves or with families of the students. The others that were not educators admitted in open court they would not prosecute someone the same color as them.
What's so bad about her is the willful, shameless ignorance just to cater to the low IQ crowd. She knows full well exactly how jury selection works and what is and is not allowed. She was a fricking federal prosecutor at one time.

That really doesn't matter at the end of the day if he approaches it a certain way. I would take a small college grad all other things being equal if they had more of what I was looking for than a large school grad. I would tell him:

- Do not become reliant on AI. Make sure you can actually do dev work without AI assistance.

- Make sure to not neglect soft skills. IT & software folks are known to be a generally socially awkward and shy group. Just having the ability to speak to and interact with people can go a very long way.

- Get an internship if possible. Even that small amount of real world (non-academic) experience will help.

- Do not shoot for the moon on the first job. Alot of people struggle to figure out why they're not even getting interviews when applying for jobs they're not yet qualified for straight out of college. Some jobs require years of experience for very good reasons.

- Never, ever stop learning. CS is a field where you can get left behind in a hurry if you don't keep up your skills beyond just what you learned in college.
Same policies as the store that just left south Chicago. Just a different group of thieves doing it.

My dad had it several times before having to get CAR-T. For him it was alot of weakness and tiredness plus stomach issues. They pumped him full of steroids to combat the nausea, but that much roids also come with their own shitty side effects.
What is going on with these people just utterly losing their minds? Both he and Candace Owens seem to have just suddenly gone completely off the rails. :dunno:

Yea - also a very sadistic vile person. He would put glass tubes up some of the victims' urethras and then break it while it was still in there. :wtf:
Mine is tomorrow actually. First time I will be under any kind of sedation in my life.

news articles of Derrick Todd Lee. He was obsessed with DTL.


They were operating at the same time and allegedly Gillis viewed it as a "competition" of sorts. Gillis also told a story one time when he was out hunting for a victim that he crossed another guy that was also out looking for victims. The allegedly locked eyes as they passed each other in their cars, and he said he intuitively knew the guy was also a serial killer.

I think someone also mentioned the toybox killer. He would drug his victims and once they came to, they would be chained up in his torture room, then he would play a tape describing in deep detail what was about to happen before he actually began the torture.

What is the best way to do it? I try exercise and sleep. Receiving an end of the day BJ from the wife is always nice. I try to schedule a lot of events to look forward to throughout the week to make it feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. What do you do?


A lil THC is a perfect stress coping mechanism.

re: How do you choose your guitar picks?

Posted by jdd48 on 6/24/26 at 6:43 am to
Just what feels right. I think I finally found the ones I will stick with for a while. For years I played with traditional Jazz III's, then Petrucci Jazz III's, and now AttakPick Stealth XL. They're 2.0mm and a bit larger than a regular Jazz.

The problem is, it’s a rare high school boy that doesn’t want that kind of attention whereas in the reverse, it can be more predatory.


IMO it's not so much about if the attention is actually desired or not. It's more about someone in a position of authority/trust over the students engaging in the behavior, regardless of genders involved or hotness level if it's a female predator.
