Maybe the FBI would be a better contact in this case? I may be wrong, but to me the brothers explicit words of intention and access to guns seems very much like a threat of premeditated domestic terrorism. If that's indeed the case, here's the FBI's page with contact options near the bottom.

I'm so sorry you're having to deal/live with this OP. You deserve much better. This internet stranger is proud of you for doing all that's within your power in such a shitty situation!

What is the Bulletproof in a cup craze?

While a simple solution for a popularity contest, it has great drawbacks when looking for techique comparison. Someone's family may be bigger or louder than others, some people may have more fans in the audience, who can afford to attend will skew the vote, being an international event would mean that it's likely the home team has the advantage as people from the host country have a greater opportunity to attend, some event crowds may be determined by time of day or by public transportation, and the audience may not see the whole (5 hour breakdancing) event and certainly won't see the performers as well/as close as the judges would. Additionally the audience has so many new viewers during the Olympics that don't know how hard certain moves/sequence of moves are while some easy flashy moves will wow a crowd every single time. None of those things show particularly compelling qualification to determine how technically good the performer/performance is.

I don't think he can because the RNC already happened making him the party's nomination. The DNC hasn't happened yet so the Democrats were able to switch candidates before they meet to nominate.

Also had a great sense of relief when mine was taken out. That wonderful absence of that particular pain was exquisite! There was other pains instead, but those pains had things that improved their symptoms while the gallbladder pain was otherwise untouchable by meds. My gallbladder had 3% working rate before it was removed.

It does kinda create the illusion of soapy bubble filled white water. If you change thinking about the 'white water' section to actually be the see through part in between clear round water droplets (the 'bubbles') that are clinging to the side of the container.

It's most likely someone recently poured some water out of it from the spout at the bottom and what water is left on the sides from the former water line slowly makes its way down to the new water level.

According to the lyrics, they aren't exclusively complaining, they're telling "good stories" about their not-so-great experience which is a different thing. Also, they never tried to be a 'good guest' at parties, merely that they were found to be 'interesting at parties' because of their 'good stories'.

That said, I really wish they didn't repeat lyrics so much and instead told more of those "good stories" they keep boasting about.

Someone once described Oklahoma's weather pattern with this list:

It's Wednesday my dudes! (2014 meme)

Off Menu - guests get interviewed over their dream food meal menus

Song Exploder - singers, composers, musicians are interviewed about a specific song that they wrote/created/performed. It's broken down into sections of the work and then the whole song is played at the end of the episode.

James Acaster's Perfect Sounds - guests are given an album from 2016 that they listen to before the podcast recording, then they are interviewed on their opinions and thoughts about the album.

I am eternally sad about Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and Ask Me Another going off the air.

If one were to ignore the getting a position part, other changes include but are not limited to:

-an increase in people killing teachers/students/staff at nearly all levels of learning institutions. It's not limited to the US and guns either (although they do make up a large portion).

-an increase in students showing outright disrespect or violence in a classroom to anyone but especially authority figures.

-due to the pandemic many teachers/staff died or retired, so there was a loss of guidance/mentors/knowledge as well as changes in policy/how things function.

-the abysmal shift in school work accessability during the pandemic created a general lack of knowledge/routine that would have formerly taken place during that time period. This means instead of being able to teach roughly the same curriculum for each class/each semester as one may have done for years, one must instead rework the course for a few grade(s) lower to accommodate the difference or fail a lot of kids that don't have home support. (Additionally some teachers were already having to incrementally adjust curriculum each year since the No Child Left Behind Act was enacted).

-teachers/professor have been villainized in recent years by politicians and general pay/funding/grants have decreased (or rather never increased as the years changed).

-tenure tracks are going away in some places.

-the school or university could simply shutdown for numerous reasons in the middle of the semester with little to no notice given staff/teachers/students.

Their blogs just got integrated fairly recently with the fediverse.

Generally speaking - There was a huge change a while back in how schools were getting money. Originally the government was paying 75% and the institute only needed to make the last 25%. Then things started to change and it flipped, so now most schools get 25% or less in funding and have to make up the rest of the 75%. (I'm generalizing numbers but they aren't too far off). This drastically changed how things were ran and just like a business that's gone private to public they are now trying to make money however they can.

They also got rid of/are limiting most full time jobs and have just increased adjuncts & grad students workload significantly. There is a block on all fulltime hires unless someone retires at at least 3 universities near me. Additionally most adjuncts make a pittance and have little/no say in their schedule or classes. Even when the department does try to accommodate, they generally have their hands tied by higher ups. Oh and schools will cancel required classes before the first day because of "low enrollment" (more than 12 people was the lastest requirement at one near me). Mind you that most students don't get notified of their financial aide until the first week of school and can't enroll until they have financial aide secured.

Again generally speaking - nowadays working a minimum wage job has better benefits, stability, and pay than being an adjunct. Even the poster you responded to said they have to work at multiple universities to get by - all without insurance. It wouldn't be bad if it was only for a short while, before moving to a fulltime position. Yet I know of many qualified adjuncts (with goals of fulltime) that are hitting double digits in their adjunct positions waiting for an opening to go fulltime. Academia is unfortunately very different than it used to be.

I do agree that OP should look into already existing services that are actively monitored.

There has been a decline in third places. There was a decline before the pandemic but the pandemic made it worse. Here's an article about the decline in America specifically and the newer ways people are trying to connect. It won't help you make more friends, but will help get perspective of one of the reasons things have changed.
