The sketchy part is not her not getting convicted. It’s that no charges were even filed. I also enjoyed this bit of info from one of the sources regarding the other DUI incident. Prosecutors in Texas have dropped a 2011 drunken driving citation against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. heiress Alice Walton.
People like this have money. That creates a barrier between them and "other"people. With enough money you never have to think about anyone below the line.
When Meta launched their new Twitter competitor Threads on July 5, they said that it would be compatible with the ActivityPub protocol, Mastodon, and all the other decentralized social networks in the fediverse "soon"....
Human history. The oldest history of humanity we have is the Sumerians. From that time on every large group of people formed a government. Babylon. Arkadian. Egyptian. Greek.
Other forms of government are tribes. Hunters. Gatherers. Those are tribes.
Show us people that didn’t have a form of government and we’ll be impressed.
Yes. Those types of people have always been around. Have you never read history before? You can aCkuALY all you want to, I don’t care. I’d rather you left that shit attitude at reddit, though.
using keyword algorithms to mindlessly remove intelligent discussion only because it may be against some kind of predetermined policy. The US government does this. They have official agents placed within the staff of major social media outlets for this purpose.
Please please please provide evidence of this one.
I can’t continue with this conversation simply because of how ignorant you are. I’m not here to argue with you over the dumb things you feel are gotcha points. You are not as clever as you think you are.
I got a call from my area that woke me up in the morning. I’ve got doctors and shit so I answer it.
No sound. Me, hello? No sounds. Then like someone trying to move the phone.
Me, Who is this? Gruff annoyed voice: Who is this? Me, fuck you who are you? Annoyed voice: uh… This is the city police fund raiser …
I’ve been on here a lot, and I use the different sorts. The think with smaller communities is how many times do you want to show the post that was made last week as new? Until someone comments in them or makes another post it’s not going to bring it up in new or hot.
Maybe a random sort option could help?
But it really comes down to engagement. Engage with the smaller communities and they’ll show up more.
I’m tired of people bitch and complain about not being able to play old Nintendo games, and at the same time make fun of Skyrim for being purchasable on any system you want.
I’m not going to network anything. It needs to be flashed or whatever to reset it. Can it be used as a storage device, or maybe an emulator box? I’m clueless over here. Any advice and suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Isn’t this already covered with the Back to the Future 2 lawsuit? They can’t use an actors likeness without thier explicit permission. Just because it’s “ai” doesn’t make it any different, ai is just a SFX.
True, good call. I completely spaced on that. Pretty shitty thing to do. “You know that thing that’s illegal for us to do? Put it in the contract that we can do it!”
Anonymous industry sources told Deadline this week that studio executives did not plan to resume negotiations with the striking writers until late October.
“The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses,” an industry source was quoted as saying, with another saying the goal was to “break the WGA”.
Yeah I was thinking about all the people below the line that it affects, too. I bet anyone opening a restaurant right now has their pick of people to hire!
