Zwerner’s attorneys said Parker failed to act in the hours before the shooting after several school staff members told her that the student had a gun in his backpack.

You have to be fucking kidding me. Several people knew there was a 6-yo wandering around with a gun and they felt they had to kick it up the chain to get a response?!

I haven’t seen truck nuts in 20+ years, and I’m in the deep South. Is that still a thing in some places?

I don’t understand how psilocybin evolved multiple times. I don’t see it as a defense because animals aren’t likely to conflate tripping balls with something they ate an hour previous.

I was dating hot and heavy a couple of years ago. Fun first date question was to ask the woman about bad first dates they’ve had. Jesus fucking Christ, I have no idea why they keep trying with us men! I have exactly 1 horrible first date story, and that was more stupid than horrible.

Sounds like you need to work on your profile and set of pics. Many years ago I logged into PoF as a woman and was stunned at how bad the other guy’s profiles were.

• Write something humorous, make your post amusing, doesn’t have to be LOL funny

• Don’t list anything you find unacceptable, too negative

• Don’t list anything you have to have in a partner, too demanding

• Post a wide variety of pics, get a couple of your very best, but get some day-to-day pics in there, looks more honest that way

• Also post pics where you’re in action, engaged in an activity you like, write about activities you enjoy, show yourself doing those things

• NO: Guns, dead animals, motorcycles, trucks or other vehicles you wish to show off

• No pics that include other women, no matter who they are. I’d try to leave male friends out as well.

• Don’t talk about being lonely, wanting to share your life with someone, nothing emotional, sounds needy, that comes later

• No need to come with your life story, they’re reading your profile to see if you’re an interesting person today, not where you came from

• Do what I did and sign in as the opposite sex (sorry, been assuming you’re a man looking for a woman), read their dumb profiles, don’t do those things

• Once you get it down, splatter that profile across several websites. You catch more fish with multiple hooks in the water.

• One final note, when you get matches, chat very briefly, ask for the date. Women out there are seriously frustrated with guys that seem to only want to talk, talk, talk. Get that date set before someone bolder asks her out!

Sorry for making so many assumptions. If this doesn’t help you, maybe someone else can get use out of it. For context, I was 50-53 and pulling so many dates the neighbors were making fun of me over all the women in and out of here. Also, I’m short and scrawny, non-rich and my vehicles are 20+ years old. :)

We don’t need no goddamned shar-ee-uh-law! We need good Christian law!

I cannot imagine any business leader crunching the numbers and concluding it’s better to stay with Oracle. I would order an all-hands-on-deck effort to rejigger the company database needs to get out from under these parasites.

Only explanation I got it that they are unwilling to stall current projects and/or hire more backend devs while sorting it out. And yes, I am well aware it’s a monstrous task, even for a small company.

Nah, his complaint was lack of torque. Very strange, never got it. Figured he was repeating fossil fuel propaganda. But he was a motorhead!

And yes, energy density is the thing no one talks about when raging against fossil fuels. A gallon of refined gasoline packs insane energy. I’ve run my 5-gallon, crappy Harbor Freight generator all night into the morning, powering the camp, heaters and all, never came close to emptying it. Contrast that with a monster LIPO4 battery that died in 48-hours only powering LED lights. (Gotta admit, something weird happened there.)

I’m only pointing out that the threat level isn’t even close. Are you saying it is? Of course you’re not, but FFS it’s not in the same ballpark.

If I came on you and said I could “straighten” you out with my penis, that’s a threat (at least it is in my book). If a lesbian approaches another woman and says, WHATEVER THE FUCK SHE SAYS. Are we going to pretend these two situations are even close?!

No wonder kids don’t get laid until they’re 28, everyone afraid of making a comment that gets taken wrong. I cannot imagine how many times I missed out by not wanting to be “that guy”. Many women later chastised me for not being more forward! “Why didn’t you hit on me?” 🫨

BTW, the original post is a “joke”.

Somebody help me please!

Had an ex-friend who was a motorhead arguing that electric motors will never beat ICE because they lack comparable torque. Look, I’m no mechanic, but I never got my head around that.

“You mean they don’t have enough torque to run a US destroyer?! Someone should call the Navy.”

Seriously, if you’ve played with even a tiny electric motor, provide DC, it goes, instantly. What could he have possibly been trying to say?

Going to take more than a few years to turn this around. I highly doubt I will be able to afford a new EV to replace our 2002, 2004 and 2014 vehicles.

Woman to woman is not nearly as threatening, this isn’t in the same ballpark emotionally.

EDIT: You folks are so autistic I sometimes want to give up this place. I would if there was somewhere as smart with normal social skills.

You understand there are wildly varying levels of “inappropriate”? Oh FFS, I’ll spell it out.

A man approaching a lesbian like this, “I can fuck you straight!”

A lesbian approaching a cis woman, “Bet you’d like it!”

Do I need to write a dissertation on the difference in literal and emotional threat level?

For some reason I subscribed to your definition IRL, but thought it meant “of age, doesn’t look like it”, which I suppose is how porn sites use it.

And Taiwan is set to blow their chip factories if invaded. Not an official policy, but it’s a no-brainer.

Are you in the right thread?

Can I rant for one?

I love my wife dearly, but I know her one weird issue is jealousy. Knew that when I married her, fought about it many times, many tearful apologies from her later.

Was pirating the first episode of “Derry” when she looks at my screen. (It’s a 40" TV, can’t avoid snooping.)

<imagine an angry Filipino accent here>

“Who are ‘Derry Girls’?! Ha? Ha? What is this show? HA?!”

“Fuck I know. <pointing at screen> I was downloading a new horror show we might like. You liked the movies. <points to the actual download folder>”

“DERRY GIRLS ha!” <stomps off>

Fuck me. Now I’m afraid to watch Derry Girls. If she ever finds my porn stash I’m doomed. :)

Had a buckle on my favorite boot break. Cross section to be repaired was 1.5mm x 1.5mm. Held solid for months until I drunkenly tripped over the strap tongue at a party. (Not the first time drunk, tongue and party was a thing in my life.) JB welded it again. Stayed tight.

OH! Very slick. :)

Found one on the trail yesterday and stuffed it in my pocket. Long story, but I was packing 20lbs., scared, in a hurry, threw it back down. “Oh FFS I don’t need another one.”
