News That Doesn't Warrant a Thread 2024

I guess if you need another way to look at it then the fact it takes longer for people to start a family now... and the usual patterns are that once they would they would usually get more active politically.

I can't stop laughing at the gifs from that article. The first one there is good but the more I scanned, the harder I laughed.

That first kids swag is up to 11 and then turbo baby rolls in, followed by frantic mom.. so good!

No laughing at anything ever.

 

[Smues]

Well, I can't watch that video without tensing up and cringing because I hate kids and kids doing things they should't be doing, so she's not the only one who doesn't enjoy that. But I don't see the need to write a cranky article about it especially knowing it's just me.

31-year old arrested in Virginia walking around dressed like The Joker. He also was carrying around a sword for God knows what reason but he could face prison time for the costume alone

His attitude is totally piss poor and indicative of him as a person. However I think a level headed discussion could be had in regards to what elected officials make in regards to just not running and staying in the private sector. We want every day people representing us but can a retail worker making $30,000 afford to up and relocate to their state's capital? The nation's capital? Can they be excused from work multiple times a week/month for city hall business? Probably not, but the millionaire business owner paying a LOT more in taxes can. I get where the rep in the article is coming from at a base level, but he's being a dick about it.

Peanut Butter and Jelly is racist.

Ugh.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Why are you posting articles from 2012? Clearly this thread is designed for the 2017-18 season!

 

[KOAB]

Yeah if we need to find out what is racist it should be from 2017-18!

Since Brody did peanut butter and jelly I would think the best drink to have with it is racist.

Several dozen torch-wielding protesters gathered in Charlottesville’s Lee Park just after 9 p.m. Saturday, chanting “You will not replace us,” “Russia is our friend” and “Blood and soil.”

After about 10 minutes, Charlottesville police arrived at the scene following an altercation between protesters. The crowd quickly dispersed with no further incidents, according to police.

In a statement, Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer called the event "either profoundly ignorant or was designed to instill fear in our minority populations in a way that hearkens back to the days of the KKK. Either way, as mayor of this city, I want everyone to know this: we reject this intimidation. We are a welcoming city, but such intolerance is not welcome here."

It was designed as an impregnable deep-freeze to protect the world’s most precious seeds from any global disaster and ensure humanity’s food supply forever. But the Global Seed Vault, buried in a mountain deep inside the Arctic circle, has been breached after global warming produced extraordinary temperatures over the winter, sending meltwater gushing into the entrance tunnel.

The vault is on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen and contains almost a million packets of seeds, each a variety of an important food crop. When it was opened in 2008, the deep permafrost through which the vault was sunk was expected to provide “failsafe” protection against “the challenge of natural or man-made disasters”.

But soaring temperatures in the Arctic at the end of the world’s hottest ever recorded year led to melting and heavy rain, when light snow should have been falling. “It was not in our plans to think that the permafrost would not be there and that it would experience extreme weather like that,” said Hege Njaa Aschim, from the Norwegian government, which owns the vault.

Children in OK get to go to school four days a week.

 

[Damaramu]

Yeah that's mostly the rural and small town schools. In OKC and the metro where my son goes it's still 5 days.


A lot of our budget problems would be fixed if they'd raise the gross production tax on oil and gas companies to the national average. Unfortunately the governor is in their pocket. According to other state representatives she refuses to even consider the notion and went as far as to call one of the CEO's from an oil/gas company on the phone during a budget meeting and put him on speaker so he could give his input.

A 23-year old black man in Ashtabula, Ohio, was shot by police officers last week after officers responding to a 911 call found two men scuffling in a home, one holding a weapon. The police ordered the man to drop the gun, but when he refused, the officers shot him. After searching the home, police found drug paraphernalia, scales, illegal narcotics and a substantial sum of money.

This story shows how dangerous policing can be, and how some officers are left with no choice but to respond with deadly force when criminal drug dealers endanger the lives of law-enforcement officers and the public at large.

Except the man who police shot is still alive—albeit in critical condition—and witnesses at the scene say that none of this account is true.

Virginia primary elections today for Governor, Lt Gov, & State Assembly. Both Democratic candidates are very good choices, and I'll be happy either way. I'm voting for Tom Perriello for Governor.
