The media is absolutely owned by the wealthy and their sway over the common person is astounding.

From what I've seen (uneducated, informal, observation of recent smaller elections) it seems Republicans are losing ground with their crazy shit from school board seats to municipal/state elections - but this could easily be confirmation bias as I'm not really tracking repuglican scores.

It seems like regardless of what polls say, general America is fed up with the crazy and partially showing up to vote (or less R participating if they can't be assed to vote for a D) in less significant elections these days.

Hopefully it's a blowout democratic win this year and they can finally close the door on this Christian nationalist, Nazi, Gilead, bullshit across as many levels in for gov't as possible.

Gotta love all this hard hitting journalism that never sees the light of day until it's too late for the information to be useful.

That being said, it's not like anyone implicated would ever experience consequences for their actions anyhow, mostly thanks to a combination of apathy, and people refusing to learn/understand how their democracy actually works and is implemented

Because its easier to just accept corruption instead of actually looking into stuff (and a big heaping pile of misinformation and incomplete information available to the general public.

I just got a blue ray of samurai champloo - mostly because I'm sick of media in general cycling through multiple streaming services only to become unavailable.

The SC blue ray came with a digital copy from funimation (now crunchyroll). I saw online that it's basically a scam that doesn't work so to see for myself I created a paid account to hopefully get access to the digital download.

I found out it was unsupported, and at best it would only be available online and with an account - no opportunity for actual download/ownership.

So I immediately cancelled subscription and had them fully delete my account. I figured complaining about their shit policy by cancelling a paid service and fully deleting an account would hit some metrics at least.

When there's a show/movie I really enjoy, I either buy physical, or torrent so I actually have it. Only some things on the internet are forever, and with the volume of content being created, "permanent" is now often only for a few months before it becomes nearly impossible to find again.

Depending on how much they spend doing it, destroying inhabitants can also pretty good for the environment 👀

So, you can read, but you choose to ignore everything that doesn't support your opinions. Classic neckbeard!

Yes, revenge is sometimes the driving force - but since you didn't read any of what was linked with the intent of absorbing information contrary to your existing opinions (or the direct quote I provided), the evidence specifically indicated that abuse/maltreatment is often* the driving force

*the word "often" means it is more common, or at a greater rate than other occurrences.

Hope that clears things up for you!

Now go apologise to your mother for how you are, and try to disappoint her a little less mmmkay?

Technically, ovulation without fertilization would be the benchmark.

Also, you probably can't miscarry. Which happens 10-15% of the time on average, and is much higher for some individuals.

These people are out to lunch. How stupid, uneducated, and emotional could someone possibly be?

The only people who are stupider are undecided or non-voters.

General population studies of maternal filicide The mothers were often poor, socially isolated, full-time caregivers, who were victims of domestic violence or had other relationship problems.

Love that you complained about a lack of source/evidence in my comment, then fail to provide any of your own 🤌

I mean, it also helps that it seems to be an international, targeted hit on a woman trying to leave her husband in a nasty divorce with a lot of money at stake.

This isn't just some chick went missing on holiday, but wait she's hot, rich, and probably connected so everyone pay attention because a real person was hurt.

I'm not disagreeing that beauty and wealth are bringing this additional attention, but this is also far more targeted than a sex/violence crime of opportunity.

Also, if every time a woman was targeted by an ex made headlines, it's all we would literally ever hear about, anywhere, always.

Family annihilation is often initiated by men, and if it's a woman killing herself and her kids, there's a good chance her partner was abusive.

Saying this as a man before any neck beards start angrily sweating about anti-male agendas (not trying to suggest the person I'm replying to is doing that atm).

The smartest man in Florida by a wide margin then

AI isn't good enough to replace workers, but it could probably replace C-suite executives at astronomical savings to the company

RIP Norm, absolute legend

I'm happy I found this show when I was 17, heard about it through an acquaintance, and found the English subs on Kazaa.

Perfect show at the perfect time of my life, definitely has a massive nostalgia factor and helped me work through some stuff.

If I were to see it for the first time today, 20 years later, I'm not sure it would have the same impact.

While it may not be for everyone, Evangelion is the standalone best anime for me and I rewatch it often.

"when MAGA sends it's people, they're not sending their best".

This saying has always bothered me.

They send who they have that will show up, making whoever shows up their best.

MAGA is simply the dumbest of the population both as individuals and their elected representatives. Even the congressional MAGAts, who one could argue should be "the best" are downright terrible (at their jobs, as human beings, and in every sense imaginable).

MAGA has no best, it is a spectrum of ignorance and anger.

Hasn't that always been the case? People with the most wealth always own the most assets.

Aside from when they sell at the top before economic downturns anyhow

Big fan of 50:50 water and grocery store white vinegar with a tiny drop of dish soap.

For glass I'll also add a little rubbing alcohol to the above, for heavier grease or spots on glass I'll just use 70% rubbing alcohol

Bathrooms can have a ton of different surfaces, I've had great success with VIM bathroom and kitchen but I'm sure anything branded for kitchen/bathroom will handle sink/shower/tub/toilet well.

CLR for anything involving (Calcium, Lime, Rust) tougher sediment buildup.

I get sponges that basically look and feel like the rough part of Velcro and are thin for a sponge, like the green scrubby rectangles, but superior imo.

When they're getting tired they become my household cleaning sponge and work great! A decent sized brush can be handy, and definitely rags/paper towels for wiping things dry if necessary.

Squeegees are fun, not particularly handy for bathroom cleaning unless there's a lot of tile/tempered glass/mirrors or you like using it to wipe down the shower when you're finished

1337x.to has been pretty solid

Braindead comment. Dems suck nowhere near as bad as Republicans! Literally comparing adults to children.

What makes you think they're even remotely comparable?

This is so beyond indefensible that I have no words.

A failure to hold Trump accountable for his many flagrant violations of national security laws would be just the latest example of a complete failure of justice.
