Up to 12 months and $75k fine.

One can only hope they throw the book at them.

Altadena (eaton fire) is not exactly an afluent area. Yes there are some fancy spots / homes but there are a lot of working class neighborhoods. I lived there for years, have lots of friends and family there.

To give you an idea Jurassic 5 have a song which references the area in the picture at the top of the article:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVDYenguk6c “between Fair Oaks and Lake” Lake is the vertical line and fair oaks is pointing between 1 oclock and 7 oclock. https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1940044,-118.1388178,16.17z?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDEwNy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Yeah, I dont advocate removing it, but its wild that it has over a hundred upvotes. Its just not funny.

LOL. Too good!

1. Remove American media and culture from your life.

2. Use American TV show to bitch about Americans

3. ???

4. Profit (feel superior)

This was my take as well. They only realized the MAGA folks were racist when they called Indians filthy.

When they were calling mexicans rapists and murders 😴

When they said africa was full of shithole countries 😴

I could go on, but it is kinda exhausting. Coming up next is the working class people when they start getting called white trash. Its coming once they consolidate enough power and dont need them anymore.

All cars loose value when you drive them off the lot. Typically ~10% immediately, then it goes to 20% in the first year according to https://www.ramseysolutions.com/saving/car-depreciation

to loose 30% so quickly… yeah, that’s pretty bleak.

This presupposes there is some music you stopped listening to after high school, Im with you, I still listen to a bunch of that stuff. Some not as often as others, but it brings back memories. I was a metal head though and there was a lot of great 90s metal.

Sounds like you are too blunt. Never tell them no. Listen to their problem and just reply with a ‘Id have to look into that’, or an ‘I can come over when I get a chance’. If they persist, have a couple projects they can help you out with and tell them 'sorry Id love to help, but Im (going to the dump / painting the kitchen / gotta do seasonal yard work / etc). If they offer to help you, then you are kinda on the hook to help them. If they dont follow through… you can subtly bring it up (still gotta move that couch). You dont have to be a dick about it. It can be fun messing with folks.

Honestly I’m tech support for some people, but I need help with some of the more advanced stuff, so I have a tech guy too.

Part 1 is the first act, somewhat expanded. The additions are pretty seamless and add a bit to the story. Its been a long time since I saw the play, but there is only one part I was sure wasn’t in the original

If you are into the play you would probably like it. I went with my wife and daughters and they loved it. I found it enjoyable enough. As someone who isn’t super into the play, it was paced well, with some good comical elements.

According to Bloomberg, Johann Rupert told the conference to bear in mind that when the poor rise up, the middle classes won’t want to buy luxury goods for fear of exposing their wealth.

“How is society going to cope with structural unemployment and the envy, hatred and the social warfare?” he said. “We are destroying the middle classes at this stage and it will affect us. It’s unfair. So that’s what keeps me awake at night.”

… its almost comical how he thinks of this. The first thought is his businesses wont be able to sell luxury to anyone but the ultra wealthy.

Article title now reads: "Insurance company halts plan to put time limits on coverage for anesthesia during surgery "

Strange. I wonder why?

you should check this out too… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11CKOAQDsbg

the pardon is for tax and gun charges, right? no drug charges?

at this point I don’t give a fuck, I just don’t want to hear the words “democrat” and “strategist” in the same sentence anymore.

White bean chili is one of my favorites.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Get enough people to donate in his name that UNICEF makes a public statement about it.

From the Reuters article on the same topic:

Trump made several visits to cities with large Arab American and Muslim populations, include a stop in Dearborn, a majority Arab city, where he said he loved Muslims, and Pittsburgh, where he called Muslims for Trump “a beautiful movement. They want peace. They want stability.”

‘They will be peaceful when they are dead’

Sometimes we might not do a great job because we didn’t know what we were doing and other times we were geniuses because we had messed up so many times before that we finally figured out how to do it right.

As I grow older, I find this is how you become an ‘expert’. You start not knowing how to do it, then you figure out all the wrong ways to do it by doing it wrong. Eventually, when you have messed it up in more ways than anyone else you know which paths not to take and you are then the expert.

I saw somewhere there exists a saying along the lines of ‘start sauteing onion, add some garlic, then you figure out what you are going to cook.’ When my wife and I have time to actually cook, this is basically what we do. everything is better with garlic and onions, from German to Korean. The rest is just details.

its all about Maggot Twat
