  1. My local Target also cut way back on self-checkout because of rampant theft. You can't get toothpaste without having to call an associate. Gen Zoomer: "What's a printed receipt?"
  2. Considering how poorly that sentence is written, what exactly qualifies as uneducated? 1. "in seems" → should be "it seems" Error type: Wrong pronoun used. 2. "it vast immigrant population" → should be "its vast immigrant population" Error type: Incorrect pronoun form. 3. "population that come" → should be "population that comes" Error type: Subject–verb agreement. 4. "come with and keeps" → should be parallel in form Error type: Faulty parallelism. 5. "their uneducated and narrow mentality" Error type: Pronoun–antecedent agreement. 6. "mentality" (possible pluralization issue) Error type: Word choice/number consistency. 7. "from their native country" Error type: Number mismatch (country vs. countries).
  3. "Privilege" is a matter of perspective. People who remained in the US illegally and were afforded a temporary reprieve for years before being deported are just as easily categorized as privileged. Also, your concept of normal life is distorted. People lose jobs and benefits everyday for all sorts of economic, political, etc. reasons that are beyond a person's individual control. The current situation isn't any different in that regard. What a person does have control over is whether they fly into a rage or despair.
  4. This is wise and a core tenet of Stoicism. Younger generations face a double whammy of being much more exposed to electronic media and appear to have developed less resilience.
  5. I generally agree, but I consider certain paraphilias like autogynephilia to be irrational. Also, a fear of clowns can be irrational, which no doubt plagues Bozo T Clown:
  6. Yes. Small thongs:
  7. The Mean Girls of The View would be the first ones to complain about fat shaming a woman.
  8. A common cause is damage to the battery, which can occur from dropping it.
  9. I hope the ending is electrifying.
  10. Model arrested after husband found stabbed to death in NYC apartment WWW.NBCNEWYORK.COM The 34-year-old personal trainer had a gash on his head and several wounds to the back of his leg, one deep enough to penetrate the muscle, according to officials. A... Stabbing is fairly common in domestic violence cases.
  11. "However, representatives of 56 Clover Realty LLC, who bought the three buildings in April, have pushed back strongly against the accusations, stating that the three buildings were never rent-stabilized and have always contained condominiums. They further argued that tenants are not protected by Good Cause Eviction laws because the law does not apply to condos... Deeds provided by 56 Clover Realty appear to indicate that all 24 units in the three buildings are designated as condos. ...Dávila said residents can’t afford a 50% rent hike and can’t stomach the prospect of being forced to leave their long-term homes. She conceded that the buildings may not have been officially rent-stabilized but said the previous landlord had been treating it as such by offering tenants one- or two-year leases." If even she concedes the point, then their case is weak (landlords are free to charge below what the market will bear, but that doesn't bind the new owners when the leases are up for renewal). Judgment for 56 Clover Realty. Next case!
  12. Which makes it the original "reality" tv. I wouldn't be surprised if Drag Race used the wrestling costumes for inspiration.
  13. Nothing prevents states or nonprofits from having their own. Not even the state of CA (which loves to virtue signal on such matters) has its own separate hotline but like the federal government has a general hotline.
  14. How Billionaires Are Future-Proofing Their Homes With Ultra-Luxe Private Bunkers ROBBREPORT.COM Inspired by survivalist narratives and armed with deep pockets, celebs and CEOs are building underground hideouts with spa suites, art vaults, and AI-threat... They look like the lair of a Bond villain. Dr. Evil (Goldmember): Ladies And Gentlemen, Welcome To My Submarine Lair. It's Long, Hard And Full Of Seamen! No? Nothing? Not Even A Titter? Tough Sub...
  15. The reasons are easily understood by a man. Pizza is round because it's easier to shape and cook the dough. Square boxes are cheaper to produce. A round pizza is cut into triangles because they're easier to cut into equal slices and to eat. It's all quite straightforward, practical, and mathematical--unlike most women.
