I’ve been watching The Blacklist with my wife. I’ve remarked that it’s very honest in it’s portrayal of law enforcement, in that they are all dishonest, corrupt, and criminal.
Not really a fan of the show, but I love James Spader’s portrayal of Raymond Reddington. I lose interest when he’s not in the scene. Just wanting to watch him has gotten me through to season 9.
Gout is bad. Every step you take, when you put your foot down and put pressure on it, it feels like you just broke a bone. Then, when you lift your foot again, it feels like it breaks again. Repeat for every step. You have to sleep with your foot sticking out because the weight of a thin sheet is too painful.
A few years ago I slipped on the ice and hit my elbow. I got up and drove to work. After I got there, it was still a little sore. I work in a hospital, so I went and got an X-ray. Turns out I fractured my arm. My wife and my doctor both wanted to know how I managed to drive to work with a broken arm. It just didn’t seem all that bad. It hurt at the moment, but then it was just a bit sore.
…have never watched the news
People who get their information from watching the news on TV are probably worse than people who don’t get information at all.
People are going to shout that it’s Fox News that’s the problem, but the reality is all of the major sources of TV news are owned by billionaires. You’re just choosing what style boot you want on your neck.
Unfortunately, to be informed and intelligent requires a small ability to rationally evaluate information. It’s not always difficult to determine the truth, but most people can’t or won’t try.
I’m going to say the average would be 7.
I definitely had some -7 days, but by and large it was a good childhood.
I was required to do chores and help out around the house. However, I didn’t have too many “wants” that I couldn’t have.
I’m fairly spoiled among my peers, but not in a “doesn’t have to work, thinks the world revolves around me” way. Always well fed and clothed. Always had a home to live in.
My parents paid for my college, so I graduated without any student loans. They also gave me and my wife the deposit when we bought our house. They continued helping with my kids’ college education, covering half of their expenses as well.
There was some abuse. Honestly, it didn’t amount to more than what just about every kid my age went through. Horrifying today, but run of the mill back then.
Mr Trump’s drug tariffs would be especially punitive for Ireland
Nowhere close to how punitive it would be for the U.S.
I prefer “Alligator Auschwitz”
Has ICE found out?
All have their place, but canned black olives tap into childhood nostalgia. Putting an olive on each finger and eating them one at a time.
I could be wrong, but in the case of Mikayla Raines, the subreddit wasn’t necessarily discussing self harm, but was promoting online harassment which led to suicide.
Assuming the lenses can be removed and replaced, opticians should be able to cut prescription lenses to fit.
When my wife had her practice, we had a machine that could cut patterns using the frame. Then the pattern is used to cut the lenses. I’m sure it’s even easier today.
People still buy CDs?
Now come on, I’m sure plenty still are.
I can imagine a loving God allowing these vile creatures to exist, but I can’t believe he would allow them to speak for him.
Imagine for a moment if the fortune spent on the failed wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was instead invested in reducing our dependence on oil.
Operation Man-Baby Tantrum.
Both. Malice inspired poor training.
The bottom should go under an ice cold stream.
