It's crazy this article mentions these Russian refugees as potential spies when it tends to be Americans being paid by Russia that do the most damage. I'm not even thinking of Trump!

There is just so much time in a day and I think nostalgia does come to play with this as well. Gaming tends to correlate to being younger and having more free time, so by playing the same games you did back then you're reliving those days.

Just a thought anyway, I tend to play older games as well, but also newer games like Baldur's gate 3 or Path of Exile 2.

Correct me if I'm wrong but what could the judge even do to these DoJ staff? Throw them in jail for a few days? Trump would just pardon them, wouldn't he?

It's messed up how low my federal student loan interest rates were. I was paying my loans off in the early 2000s and I swear my interest was only like 2%!

I don't think anything that they did to this lady was legal but for her to attend the funeral and then admit that to the agents seems like a exceedingly bad decision.

I'm kinda mystified why you'd attend a funeral of such a figure, take a bunch of pictures of you there(?), and fly back to the USA with the administration currently in place and not expect a shitshow. Is this an extreme version of 'don't talk to the cops' or was this lady just very naive? Even as a US citizen I'd probably wipe my phone before flying back to the US just to avoid anything weird popping up if it was searched.

Chickens die from it, I think it's like 85%+ fatal to them so the factory farms will just mass kill all of them.

Is this your first time? American politicians don't give up power just because they are old. Feinstein, McConnell, Biden, Thurmond are just a few examples.

Lol, college students protesting on the college campus is not a riot, he's not been officially charged with any crime either.

Not trying to give any of the Supreme Court credit, but they know anything they do to counter Trump will just blow up in their faces when Trump just ignores the verdict anyway.

The kids are just the easy targets but don't let that fool you, there are several people in their 40s and at least one guy in his 60s.

It's sad that even the idea of a very high tax rate for even the top 0.1% is off the table. I really like the suggestion of capping net worth at $999 million and the government gets the rest.

And by far most of these booing voters will just vote for this very same guy again the next time he's up for reelection. Rural voters have been so predictable it's why these politicians can just walk away from town halls like this, they know they still have the votes.

So Trump's going to give Ukraine all the weapons that they want?

I'd wager this is all because of some innocent comment she made about her tattoos and the agent jumped on it. Just like a cop, the agent was probably being friendly to get her to talk and got her to admit she did some tattoo work the last time she was there. Remember everyone only answer direct and relevant questions, anything else they ask is just trying to find a reason to screw you over!

Once the German embassy is getting involved though, she should have been released immediately but it's clear this administration likes the power trip too!

Even the garbage about not letting her go back to Mexico is crazy, I know they do that all the time without proof of residency. This agent definitely had it out for her!

Even a few years ago, maybe 2017, I was at JFK airport and lady somehow was getting off a plane from London and couldn't find her passport, the agents got worked up but released her after some kind of back and forth where she had to appear with her passport in a couple of days (or something). Somehow the passport was in her luggage that had been checked in, IDK.

Really it's not. Grocery chains carry good alternatives even in really rural areas nowadays. If you haven't tried one in the last few years the options out now are quite a bit better. I typically use Planet Oat in my coffee.

It's not just the milk but also other products like cheese. "In 2001, Americans consumed 30 pounds of cheese per person, 8 times more than they did in 1909 and more than twice as much as they did in 1975. "

Which since then it's continued to rise and in 2022 was like 42 pounds.

Maybe it will get people to start drinking plant based milk if the price of course milk skyrockets like it has with eggs. All the IGF-1 in dairy isn't good for you and could even be part of the reason for the rise in colorectal cancer (the amount of dairy we consume nowadays in nuts).

I think Trump has a thing for Slavic women and that combines with the Putin strong man vibe, and Trump clearly has daddy issues. He's the definition of a useful idiot.

I think those are related to survivor benefits. Like an old man marrying a young woman in the 40's. Like the civil war vets marrying woman in the 20th century. The last civil war widow was getting benefits until she died in 2020. But still the same basic issue.

But in that case the old man isn't getting benefits but just is needed as a reference for the person actually getting them.

It's because that explanation isn't correct. The real deal is you just have entries without a death date, so if you ran a query this get super old ages as a result.

Note that isn't a database of payments or even people eligible for them, just a listing of 'everyone' with a SSN. There is a separate master death index. In the old days, wild west kind of stuff people would disappear so the death date would never get entered. Modern days every morgue and funeral home has to legally notify SS when someone dies, there is a specific form and major hell to pay if you don't do it.
