The ice cream truck song!

(I’m kidding, don’t kill me.)

This shit is making my job hunt miserable. Despite low unemployment a record number of American’s are looking for new jobs.

Yeah but it won’t grow in the sun.

Alexander Haig:

Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security.

No! We do NOT want a martyr! He must go down, alive, in ignominy.

Dopefish.

“hungry, hungry, eat, eat…”

I’d give it a flat 1HP, if that. Unless you get me in the neck, I doubt any human bite would take 25% of this commoners HP.

someone in the military describing the best way to decide who to kill

Read a book by a Navy SEAL who was in Afghanistan. He said if they were wearing black Reeboks they were fighters, shoot to kill on sight.

I’m betting he was right! But Jesus, using that as a hard criteria to execute someone?!

Don’t delete your comment for asking a legit question! Others might be ignorant as well and benefit from the Q&A.

Not an app, a site:

Free Photoshop clone. For my needs, it’s over the top perfect.

It gets better! Maria dropped her little friend off a couple of weeks later to get laid. It was all rather surreal.

About to pass out at home watching 2001. Worked 6-days a week, Saturday night was my only time alone, spent Sundays healing up to go hang cable again. No friends or family, alone in Chicagoland.

Knock on my door. No one can get there unless they’re already in the building. WTF. It’s the Mexican chick from downstairs and her little 19-yo friend I had never met.

I’ll spare the gruesome details, but apparently they both decided, “Imma FUCK him!” And they did. And each other. It was… something else. And I almost didn’t answer the door.

Toad Suck, Arkansas. Got a cool pic at the lock and dam, missed the park and the town itself.

Transylvania, Louisiana. Got a pic of the bat painted on the water tower, but the general store/Post Office was closed, so no souvenirs.

Never filed taxes, huh?

The chart explains the tern to mean “head of household”. It’s a tax term explained on your 1040.

Generally, to qualify for head of household filing status, you must be able to claim a qualifying child or qualifying relative as a dependent.

In a typical marriage, either spouse can claim. Naturally, the one who makes the most is wise to claim “head of household”.

the neighbor told Lee she thought the cat was the victim of an attack by her Haitian neighbors

Lemmy: RACIST removed!

OK, maybe she shouldn’t have casually repeated it, but put down the pitchforks, she didn’t make the accusation.

By giving law enforcement a heat map of the area they cover, they could see potential crime hotspots in real time through the predictive crime map (PCM). This allows for better allocation of police officers and for more effective coverage.

Oh Jesus Christ. As if beat cops need a map. I assure you, after a month or two on the streets, they know exactly where the bad spots are, down to the blocks and homes. Hell, I’ve seen cops on a first name basis with offenders and constant callers.

Imagine cops asking for this tech, admitting they’re failing at one of the most basic parts of the job. “Really need this chief, we have no idea what’s going on out there!” Or, “This could be an important tool Mr. Mayor. Our street cops are clueless.” If the cops know anything at all, it’s where they’re going to face hassle.

The recidivism prediction is the evil shit here. Aren’t judges already using such systems when sentencing and calculating parole? Some algo assigns numbers to X,Y and Z factors, pops out a score?

“Well this sucks, can’t breathe.”

Punches hole in roof to get air

“OK, that works. Come to think of it, that’s how momma did it.”

The second Jurassic Park book had a neat idea. What if much of the animal behavior we see is taught and not instinctual? The dinosaurs start fouling their poorly made nests and stomping all over their eggs because they didn’t have parents to emulate or teach them. Been thinking on that for over 20 years.

Alien replays nicely if you haven’t seen it in awhile and really focus on the experience.

I still have a hard time digesting “gay” as a slur. We simply didn’t use it that way, ever. F@g could go both ways and my gay friends happily slung it at each other. An attempt to take the word back from the haters I guess. At least that word was sometimes used as a real insult.
