Shouldn’t Virginians be happy the FBI chose the best option?
Or would they prefer the FBI choose the worse option just because it’s their option?
I know what I’d put my money on.
Greenbelt would be a lower-cost location to build a new FBI headquarters, provide greater transportation access and better advance the agency’s sustainability and equity goals.
I guess Virginia should work on these things if they want more business!
The US House of Representatives is collectively masturbating and the news media is making us all watch.
If news organizations actually cared about being honest, they’d just report “GOP HOUSE MEMBERS WASTE TIME PASSING BILLS THAT CAN NEVER BECOME LAW AGAIN TODAY” and say nothing further about it every, single day.
I think it’s important to show the country exactly what kind of bullshit Republicans want written into the law. A lot of people still haven’t figured out yet that they’re pure evil.
Sounds like the states privacy laws might be dogshit…
recording of mobile phone activity did not meet the Washington Privacy Act’s standard that a plaintiff must prove that “his or her business, his or her person, or his or her reputation” has been threatened.
Here’s a crazy idea:when a tourist does a crime, punish them for it?
Also 100% in favor of chasing social media addicts off your property line with fire crackers.
Incidentally, I once had a rather obnoxious encounter this past year when a young man parked in a nearby service road and walked over to take photos of the trees behind my house.
There is no legal way to do this, as you’re either tresspassing on my property, or the farm property nearby.
I opened the back door, and asked what he was doing since he’s tresspassing and literally walked past a sign telling him not to.
“oh I just thought these trees looked nice against the sunset and figured I’d come back to take pictures”
So he saw the trees, saw it was sunset and thought “I bet it looks good” because there’s no way to see it from the main road due to the shape of the hills around me. You can certainly guess it’s visible if you look at the tree tops, but unless you’re on the ground you can’t actually see it to know if it’s worth a view.
Told him to leave in under a minute because that’s about how long it’s going to take me to unlock my guns and get the sheriff’s office down the road on the phone.
Unless you argue I have no intention of bringing a weapon out, and I certainly don’t care to have police crawling around looking for an excuse to hurt people.
Luckily he kind of sprinted back to his car.
I’m very reasonable if you knock on my door and ask to take pictures. I had a couple ask to take a couple engagement photos up against the farmers field, and I was more than happy to oblige. Get your photos, but for the love of mergatroid, ASK FIRST
An interesting concept that unfortunately exposed awful people. I never let my kids on there because every 4th visitor was a penis. It had the potential to connect people. A shame it was abused.
I never used the video chat for that reason, but I did have a few interesting discussions about philosophy and mathematics, when you were able to enter your interests and it matched you with people who’d entered the same.
Another piece of the olden-days internet died today. Buonanima.
KCE will have those ballots counted before breakfast is over tomorrow. The election system equipment they use is second to none, not to mention they are a dedicated group of people and the tabulation team is lead by a rock star.
I fell in love with may cease to exist, and in its place, we will have something closer to a souped-up version of TV – focused largely on passive consumption, with much less opportunity for active participation and genuine human connection
Amen
Seriously bugs me to think how there’s an aging generation that didn’t grow up with all this commercialized internet and they built it on principals like open source and to eliminate things like data scarcity. But now there’s a generation that knows nothing but commercialization and seems to support putting everything behind paywalls and hopes to one day commercialize themselves if they’re lucky.
But what is really scary is watching guys like Richard Stallman get sick without any replacement.
How is this still happening lmao The fucking mob? In NY and Italy at the same time? And they’re still involved in unions for work nobody really bats an eye at.
