Didn’t he win the vote? Trump lost the vote. He won the election because the American system is designed to sometimes hand victory to the loser - Trump was the 5th or 6th example to date.
Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.
If you can get away with it, it’s the option with the strongest financial incentive.
But this guy minimum-efforted it - there was zero chance he’d escape suspicion. Hell, he apparently told someone else he was doing it. No idea what he was thinking.
Humans can’t survive being hit by a car at 25 mph.
The primary purpose of most speed limits is tax revenue, which is why most speed limits are not based on safety evidence. The local authorities just tweak the limits to maximize profits.
The article you linked doesn’t say what you claim it says. It discusses a 25moh car hitting a pedestrian, which is wildly different from a true 25mph impact in general, because most pedestrians will try to dodge.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The owner of a Colorado funeral home and his wife were arrested Wednesday in Oklahoma on charges linked to the discovery of 190 sets of decaying remains at one of their facilities, including some that apparently had been languishing there for four years.
Note that the shooter may be named Aiden, not Audrey - I have yet to find a news source explicitly stating which is their legal name as opposed to the other. This can make it frustrating to find articles about the shooting, so I recommend just using “Hale”.

It’s not just about the guns. Once they can ignore your 14A-guaranteed rights for one thing (which is 2A-protected, so about as sacrosanct as possible), they can ignore it for everything. Do you really want to be put in prison without a trial as soon as some cop arrests you for something the cop made up?
Zackey Rahimi, the Texas criminal defendant challenging a federal gun law before the Supreme Court on Tuesday, said this summer that he no longer wanted to own firearms and expressed remorse for his actions that got him in trouble with the law....
Yes, because you are violating the rules of English grammar in your claim. As was my original point, it is impossible to claim any interpretation of the 2A without violating grammar. As a result, it can have any meaning you want, since you will make up the rules you like in order to interpret it the way you want.
U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s defense of a phrase used by Palestinians in connection with the war between Israel and Hamas is drawing condemnation from critics, including two prominent fellow Democrats — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin.
Under capitalism, an hourly wage has no meaning; you are paid to accomplish a task. The faster you do so, the more you make per hour, and vice-versa.
Ubder communism, effort is rewarded, rather than results. Provided you worked for 8 hours, you are paid according to some arcane rule specifying your hourly wage. Results don’t matter, only how much time you spent, which is incompetently used as a heuristic for effort.
In this meme, the evil communist overlord is paying someone the communist way, which unfairly gives the overlord an undue share of the profits. The worker was a fool and worked as hard as capitalism would suggest, and is surprised and disappointed to be paid the communist rate.
Critics of Israel’s merciless war on Gaza are facing threats of government prosecution and blacklists or firings. In this neo-McCarthyist environment, anything pro-Palestine is being made to carry the whiff of bigotry or even incitement to violence.
Oh, good. Now everyone will park on the street and roads will become impassable, like in Boston.
I actually do like this law, as I think people should be free to develop their land as they like. But it needs to be paired with banning people from street parking, or that’s what you’ll get.
Under the settlements, drivers outside New York City (OP note: in New York state, I assume) will receive a minimum $26 per hour during rides and for sick leave, adjusted annually for inflation.
Aside from that, which would let them avoid paying the state government money, they committed theft on their employees:
James accused Uber and Lyft of improperly deducting sales taxes and fees for a workers compensation fund from drivers’ payments, though passengers should have paid those amounts.
Sales tax is always supposed to be levied on the customer, because it’s a tax on being poor.
The plot partially relies on the MC having gotten laid at least once, so that fails to check out. I definitely agree on the strong toxicity vibe, though.
I love you, unlike OP, who clearly hates you, so here’s the alt-text.
On January 26th, 2274 Mars days into the mission, NASA declared Spirit a ‘stationary research station’, expected to stay operational for several more months until the dust buildup on its solar panels forces a final shutdown.
By now you’ve likely heard that Representative Mike Johnson—the congressman Republicans finally elected as the new Speaker of the House after 22 days of chaos—played a significant role in the plot to overturn the 2020 election, a lowlight on his résumé that is obviously deeply concerning for the future of democracy.

She shared her opinion on LinkedIn. You know, the jobs site that only has a social media aspect to facilitate networking (nepotism) for job-related purposes. I don’t know what possible positive outcome she was expecting. The only potential outcomes of posting your opinion on LinkedIn are everyone ignores you or you get fired. She flipped her coin and it landed wrong-side-up.
