You'd have to ask the RMV LOL ,I'd rather not know LOL

The Sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma....

No, it’s the LGBT ‘movement’ constantly makin fools of themselves and then throwin tantrums and blamin everyone else. I have gay friends and lesbian parents, all of which are fed up with the stupidity of other members of LGBT. A lot of it boils down to the feminism problem too. What was initially a good thing started for fairness has become a power hungry insatiable desire for superiority and everyone else be damned. Fact is, we ain’t all equal. Total equality is simply unachievable. What we can and should strive for though is total justness. The right to coexist and the responsibility to take accountability for one’s own actions without blaming others.

We don’t have a problem with the people part of LGBT. We have a problem with the idiots claiming to support LGBT while in actuality just tryin to put down everyone else.

The police know but are letting the neighbors know they are safe because it was targeted

Recommend me some [broadest genre title imaginable]

I freeze, not knowing what to say.

See, you are only good as long as you find appropriate jobs for Gods. Our family business have been thriving because my ancestors made some very wise decisions.

Like the time my great-great-grandma gave Odin the job of Santa, and gave Chernobog the job of Krampus.

Or when my Grandpa gave Ares the job of the German Chancellor in 1933.

However, the cost of messing up is very high. We nearly went out of business when my great-great-great-great-great-granduncle (is that even a word?) gave Dionysus the job of the French King. The resulting revolution threw Europe in disarray and completely destroyed our credibility for the next 50 years.

It is for this reason I dread Loki.

Dude has been a failure at every single job we found him in the last 200 years.

My father found him a job in real estate. He failed, spectacularly. Where most people fail once, he failed so many times that it boggles my mind.

We sit and discuss. As always, Loki is unwilling to hear anything I have to say. He always thinks he knows best.

Out of frustration, I suggest reality TV. His histrionics will be right at place there.

To my surprise, Loki agrees. He gets up and leaves.

I heave a sigh of relief. I am just glad to be rid of his obnoxious presence.

I was getting ready to go to my son’s ball game when I see Loki at the door again.

It’s been 10 years since that fateful meeting. Last I heard his show was doing well.

Predictably, Loki ended up failing again. He tells me his show is getting canceled.

I am taken aback but not really surprised. I call my wife, letting her know I’ll be late, then sit down for an unpleasant, unpleasant conversation with Loki.

We do the dance where I try to make him see reason and he discards whatever he say.

Finally, in a moment of weakness and frustration, I scream out: “What DO you want? To be the president?”

Ironically, this seems to appeal to him. Loki gets up and leaves.

As he leaves, the reality of what just happened dawns on me. This will be worse than the French revolution!! My family will never survive this!

I shudder.

It has been a year, and I do not know what to say.

Loki, the failed God, the failed real estate guy, the failed reality tv star is having a stellar campaign for the presidency!!

He says the most outrageous things, which should normally make him a parriah, but the audience laps it up!!

Sometimes, he says things just in jest, or to see how much he can lie and get away with, and his audience still keeps cheering!!

I don’t even know what’s happening.

Tomorrow is Loki’s inauguration. He won the election when no thought he will! Looks like he is our next president!

I shudder to think what President Loki would do.

Personally, I can’t complain though. Even since the election results came out, our business number has been ringing non-stop.

Literally already has been done

Fewer job opportunities where? In Manhattan? Where people being paid minimum wage are paying $2.75 minimum each way to commute from outer boroughs? To make rent for apartments that don't exist in their price range?

One of the first things they taught us in Webelos is that if you're lost in the desert and you run out of water, babies have more liquid in them than snakes or prickly pear cacti.

Instead of therapy, I worked through most of my baggage with cannabis and introspection. Being present with my feelings and not shying away from difficult questions changed my life.

It’s certainly not for everyone, but it did help me.

Have a good rest of your day!

I was looking for....Ewe-sane bolt

And how are we supposed to make sure that this democratic process isn't undermined by those with more wealth/resources, in the way that our "democratic" country has been?? Won't the wealthy just hijack/corrupt the process for their own purposes the way they do to everything else?

How are human beings supposed to properly align AI when we can't even get our shit together and properly manage states or the country in general? People don't know what the fuck they're doing or the unintended consequences of their actions.

Maybe try fiction books that are in a similar subject area to non-fiction books you enjoy. If you like history read historical fiction, if you like travel books read a book set in a place you've read about. If you're sort of familiar with the setting/background that could be less you have to visualize.

It's sort of backwards from my usual suggestion, but if there's a movie try watching that first. Then read the book and your brain will probably automatically think about the movie descriptions and characters, so it might be easier to get in to.

Well, they are different types of action. Both are good. But seeing Fury Road in the big screen is a totally unique experience.

Yes, he’s probably lying to you.

You’re not making it ‘safe’ to tell you the truth because when he does, you’ll be angry.

This is a boundary you’ve set, he knows and agreed to the boundary.

What will you do if you’re 100% sure he’s been looking at porn?

I miss rowdy buck

I'm not sure why that would matter. If we can imagine ourselves in the animal's position, and recognize we wouldn't want this done to us, what is it that makes it ok to do it to them?

LOL

wtf are you talking about

Ah yes. My mistake.

By a long time you mean a week or 2 tops I assume

No, he is being indicted for misusing business funds and other finance violations (including a claim that the money to reimburse Cohen for the deal with Daniels was "legal fees" to Cohen, rather than stating that it was for payment to Daniels). There is also a question about the money possibly coming from his campaign funds, which would be a further violation.

If Trump were to have cut a personal check from his own finances to Daniels, then I do not think anyone could call that illegal. It is the source of the funds and how they were transferred that is the problem (from what I understand), along with any coverup.

I might be missing something (especially with "more than 30 counts"), but that is my understanding.

It was noted in another comment that it would bring young people to the area to eat and shop, and I chuckled bc I don’t know 1000 “young” people that could afford a 2k rental right now, especially alone. It feels a little tone deaf to everybody who are struggling to find rentals they can afford
