  • Why am I only reading about this on the day we’re supposed to be striking? I would have participated, but I’m reading this on strike day while already at work. Soooo frustrating!

  • Cat politics are weird. If they aren’t hurting each other, then I usually think it is best to let them sort things out on their own. Cat slaps are a normal part of cat culture.

    If it is getting extreme, they have pheromone sprays and diffusers that can help. If you spray it on your lap, then they have to enter the chill zone to get their pets.

  • Vero and Vera sound nice and aren’t likely to cause confusion.

  • Your night stand has an anus?

  • Best I can do is a bang bus. /s

  • I live on the border, and when I moved here, I was surprised to see that the light was actually kind of sepia toned for real. The Northern Mexican dust really adds a visible tint sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t as extreme as this picture unless there is a dust storm, but it is noticeable.

  • I’m glad to see that it wasn’t as severe as originally reported.

  • I agree that it’s unfortunate he’s not running, but smear campaign? Unless I missed something, I thought there was no dispute that a massive crime was being committed on his watch. In my opinion, it’s pretty negligent to not even check if there are kids in the childcare facilities that are getting funding. One inspection at funding renewal time would have been doable.

  • What would justice look like? I’m genuinely curious. There isn’t a court outside of America that can hold the president accountable, and the other option is war, which would be deadly on a massive scale. It’s insane that impeachment hasn’t happened yet, and unless the legislative branch does something to remove the cancer from the White House, then I don’t see justice being delivered.

    This whole situation is a nightmare.

  • My girlfriend has EDS. It is such a strange disease.

    On the one hand, it gives you smooth stretchy skin that is resistant to wrinkles, long features that can be very beautiful, and enhanced flexibility that can be fun in the bedroom.

    On the other hand, just laying down can cause her legs to fall out of socket, her back can make noises that sound like stepping on peanuts, and her fingers can get stuck in a Vulcan salute.

    Handicapped parking is dope though.

  • Some delicacies are only conferred on those with a trained palate—it should not conCERN the rabble what delights the wise. /s

  • U ok, bro?

  • It’s all good, friend. I, too, apologize if I misinterpreted your response.

    Look at us—just two civil lemmings having a polite conversation. This really is the superior social media.

  • Generally speaking, I agree with you, but in this case, there is a massive amount of evidence in the released documents that suggests there is an international network supplying women to powerful people. Several of these people are still in office or hold aristocratic titles, and they will do damn near anything to hold on to those.

    Let’s say it was basic incompetence that led the guards to fall asleep and the cameras to malfunction—how did Epstein know that was happening to act at the moment that he did?

  • You misunderstand me—I can see them being ok with torturing family members, but if the options are to either die by suicide or die by murder plus they demolish your empire, I think there’s a chance that they choose the former.

  • To protect the overall organization and potentially to protect other people in his life. My impression from looking at the documents is that this is a very large international network. I imagine there would be consequences for being caught, such as the torture and murder of everyone you hold dear. If your only options are to kill yourself or to get murdered and have everyone around you also tortured and killed, I could see a narcissist choosing the former option.

    I don’t know anything for sure, but the released files definitely gave me the impression that Epstein was not the top of the chain. Rather, he seems like the American representative of an extensive global cabal. Somebody out there was putting together those sample albums of girls for him. Somebody was running the brothels he seemed to be visiting. He was getting calls from all over the globe with descriptions of new girls. It seems to go much deeper than just Ghislaine trolling the local middle schools for fresh meat.

    So, if he did kill himself (heavy on the if), then I’d imagine it was partially because there is a scarier monster out there who is ready to take out the trash if anybody gets sloppy.

  • I’m willing to believe he killed himself to protect the organization, but someone on the outside created the conditions for him to do so. The idea that one of the most closely guarded prisoners in the country just happened to know exactly when the guards were negligent and when the cameras were malfunctioning is just absurd. He was given a window of opportunity by somebody, at the very least, or murdered at most.

    I have no doubt that the contract required to enter an international sex trafficking organization also includes exit obligations if you are caught. There are a whole lot of dead people around this case, and the chance of it being a conspiracy is way higher than the chance of it being a coincidence at this point.
