21,000+ dead and 100,000+ missing sounds like a war is happening in Saudi Arabia. Those are shocking numbers.

In the future when the cops he trained fuck up, they can point to being trained by this idiot as an excuse to get their department more budget for training instead of getting in trouble for the fuck up.

If you are talking about federal income taxes, they are actually progressive. The vast majority of the money collected comes from the top 50%, the 1% pays something like 25% of the total just by themselves. Its why Republicans and billionaires bitch about it so much and want to eliminate the federal income tax. In reality poor people are mostly impacted by sales taxes, and that's because of the basic economics involved that make sales taxes inherently regressive.

It is pretty ironic the entire time the gun industry was fueling paranoia about the government creating a database of all the gun owners they themselves were secretly creating a database of all the gun owners.

I grew up in that world too and he is exactly what those assholes used to rant and rave about while describing their Antichrist. Its funny how that turned out but I can't say I'm surprised, they are really shitty people.

The weird fixation Trump has with the song YMCA is hilarious. It is literally one of the gayest songs ever recorded and he plays it for his cultists to sing and dance along everywhere he goes.

I'm not sure I would. If I could have avoided the bullshit or done the things that would have optimized my income and wealth, I don't think I would have ended up where I am now. The risk doesn't seem worth it, I would be a completely different person with a completely different life.

"Everything is good, thanks. Staying busy with work..." and then either get back to work or stare at them until it gets awkward. Its possible they have trouble with social cues and you seem friendly or nice or whatever, people are weird and being a new employee is stressful so trying to latch onto someone who comes across well can be a thing that happens. I try to redirect people like this to the topic of work and answer any personal question with something boring. What did you do this weekend? Laundry. If they have any self awareness they will eventually only talk to you about work. Stay professional and don't be rude while making it clear you are at work to do work and have no interest in their personal life or sharing any details of yours.

As others have said, you really should contact the police and let them know your brother is planning to murder people.

Looks like a criminal conspiracy to subvert the electoral process and deny people their right to vote. These assholes are going to create as much chaos as they can everywhere the vote count doesn't go their way.

I only use it in English but I've found the results to be equal to or better than Google most of the time. I rarely end up checking things in Google after comparing the results for the first few weeks I first started using Kagi, the times I have recently Google has been just as bad (e.g. no results found, or nothing useful) or worse (e.g. a bunch of SEO crap and advertising and whatever other nonsense Google decides to spit up).

My understanding is that the up or down rating pushes results from that domain up or down in your personalized search results for all searches, not just the current search. I flag down things occasionally because they are obvious shit or don't interest me but haven't used the feature much otherwise. I think it could be one of the reasons I find Kagi better than Google though, there's so much crap that just doesn't end up in my results now because I down ranked already. I'm not completely certain that is really how the feature works though, I'd encourage you to contact Kagi support for a definitive answer.

They are a British person traveling to America in order to engage in "election interference" if we believe Trump. It's a fact which demonstrates that Trump is making a baseless and hypocritical allegation.

Trump already forgot Liz Truss flying in from the UK to be a featured speaker at the RNC convention just a few months ago.

There's law firms that specialize in this sort of thing. If you remember the Panama Papers from a few years ago, those were internal documents from one of these firms. Banks don't catch on because they like making money and pretending its not happening is often more profitable than calling the cops.

It may be unlawful but I have over $100 in useless gift cards because the companies went out of business before I could use them. Cash is inherently superior. Although both cash and gift cards have the problem of being potentially tacky or offensive to give as a gift, depending on the context.

If it keeps getting hotter and the storms keep getting worse, we will find out. At the very least, property prices anywhere still liveable will likely become even more unaffordable.

People have been trying to make modular housing work for awhile, with limited success. For various reasons, it's a lot more challenging than it seems like it should be. One of the problems is that the US doesn't really have a single national regulatory regime for building codes, they are mostly local and regional. You can't really design a house that works everywhere so the economics are a lot different than selling something like a car or a washing machine.

If it is in The Hill you should always be looking for issues like this, they publish a lot of crap written by crap people who aren't trustworthy and have an agenda.
